It was also decided to appoint Messrs Dempster, Wilkinson, Rennie, Rawlinson, and Johnson to arrange the programme for the dinner on Saturday evening, August 16. Mr J. H. Wilkinson reported regarding the jubilee souvenir. A suggestion had been made that in order to include reports of tho jubilee celebrations the publication of the souvenir bo delayed. The Souvenir Committee, however, were strongly of the opinion that the booklet should be issued during the forthcoming celebrations. Mr Wilkinson believed that it would he a worthy record and a suitable memento of tho occasion. Gratification was expressed at the formation of an old boys’ club in Christchurch. Before closing, the Chairman intimated that all tho arrangements were well forward, and ho was of the opinion that everything pointed to a successful function being held.
