SUCCESSFUL PUPILS annual break-up and prize PRESENTATION. DR. REDWOCIff WELCOMED. The annual breaking-up ceremony and presentation of. prizes in connection with St. Patrick’s College took place yesterday, and proved a moat interesting and successful function! Added interest was given to 'the proceedings by the presence of His Grace Archbishop, Redwood, who has but recently returned from a world tour, which included a stay in Rome and’ an interview with His Holiness the Pope, A YEAR’S CHANGES. - . Remarking upon the year's work the rector, the Very Rev. Father T. Gilbert. S.M., M.A., said that they- all joined in welcoming back His Grace Archbishop Rddwood. alter his long tour. It was now 40> years since the foundation stone of the College had been laid by His Grace, and he hoped it gave him as much, pleasure to- attend as it gave thetn to receive him. During the year there bad been many changes in the- college. Of the teachers who were left were Fathers Cullen and Gondfinger, the latter of had been at the school since 1906, while Father Cullen bad also been a master forgsnitny years. In their place had come new men, who were m reality Old.- men, in that they, were old boya of, the-.'School. Good Work had been done by. the school during, the year; Takipg it altogether, tne sum total of their efforts - compared well with that of previous years.. • The spirit of the boute was excellent, while the esprit de corps bad. grown in accordance with the numbers. In reference to; sport, which was such an important feature of school jife in modern times, they had not beaten all their foes, blit the boys, especially in the senior divisioq* had put up great struggles and. gone dowq fighting. Thanks were duetto the Rugby Union and the Wellington . Boxing Association,. The number of scholars had retched’ 208 this-year, a record, and . twice the number in attendance; ten years ago. It was pleasing to know that 'scholars who had gone on to the university had done well; and the rector made reference to the Students’ Guild, Which was doing .such good .work amongst the Roman Catholic undergraduates; There lad been anxieties and reverses during' the year, and thanks were due to fjhe sisters who had attended the boya iii’ Sickness 'to the matroh and the ddetor, and also to Dean Regnault, t.hs external chaplain. ,

In respect to the sickness,' he hoped that during the year to come they would be spared from such trials, He was glad to see such a Spirit prevailing, and the college in .preserving; that spirit resembled tne schools of the Mnrist Fathers, who endeavoured to make their .college one big family, com-' posed of masters and boys alike. Hl» Grace was pleased to see. the number of students increasing, and his hope was. that it would further increaea to 308. They would all want to hear of hia. trip, abroad. It had. been wonderful.
