Mr W. J. Morrell, when making the awards at the annual demonstration and presentation of awards of Trinity College in the Concert Chamber on Wednesday, made special mention of the distinction of two scholarships for pianoforte coming to the Dunedin Centre. These were gained by Kathleen Allan, a pupil of Miss Rona Thomson, and Edith Turnbull, a pupil of Miss Bannatyne. These promising young players headed their sections for the South Island, and very probably for the Dominion, for they were awarded the remarkably high marks of 96 and 97 out of a possible 100 —a performance that reflects credit on both pupils and teachers.
