View Hill Girls’ Club. At a party held during the winter a penny dance supplied the club with sufficient capital to purchase a quantity of pale blue wool. Several keen members undertook to knit it into infants’ garments, which were displayed at the School Prize Giving Ceremony. The girls are to be congratulated on the number of dainty useful articles they have made to assist Nurse Maude in her charitable work.
