WAITAKI GIRLS' HIGH SCHOOL

ANNUAL PRIZE GIVING ADDRESS BY REV, J. M. McKENZIE There was a good attendance of the public at the Opera House on Thursday night for the annual prize-giving ceremony of the Waitaki Girls' High School. . Mr W. Kinder, a member of the Board of Governors, was in the chair, and associated with him on the stage were Major H. S. Orbell (chairman of the Board of Governors) and Mrs OrbelLithe ..Mayor '.and--Mayoress - (Mr and Mrs L. J. K. Familton), Mrs W. Kinder, Miss J. B. Wilson (principal), Miss Will (president of the Old Girls* Association), the Rev. J. McKenzie, Archdeacon J. D. Russell, the Revs. J. T. Crdzier and B. O. Plumb, members of the staff, and others. Welcome by Chairman In giving a welcome to all present, Mr Kinder, stated that their presence showed their interest in the work that was 1 being done at the school; Speaking of the. recreation grounds at the school, he said that everyone must. admire them, as they were wonderfully kept, trim, and most .colourful. A great deal of this work was not paid for by the board, but was done by the f iris under Miss Wilson, and the staff 'he girls were organised into groups and looked after their respective plots, and there was no doubt about it, they were getting the results. , Shortage of Accommodation The board, through the year, had found difficulty regarding room accommodation, continued Mr Kinder. This was especially the case in the boarding establishment, where the number was ever, increasing, the girls in' residence now numbering 50. A year ago an addition had been made to the hostel, and this year, through the Rev. A. H. Nordmeyer, M.PI, the Minister of Education /Mr P. Fraser) and other members of the Education Department, who had taken an interest in the school, the board had been enabled to purchase a property of several acres in Ouse street, so that there would be provision for breathing space for many years to come. The area would be valuable, as it -was adjacent to the school, &nd he hoped that, in the future, they would be able to provide suitable buildings.

Rev. Mr McKenzie's Address

The main speaker for the function ■was the Rev. J. M. McKenzie, who, in his introductory, remarks, congratulated the school on the completion of another year of progress—a year which.had included a jubilee of the school. ■ . • . - Each one of them had come to the end of a school year. Some of them were leaving school and going out into the world. This meant that they were growing up. It was the aim of all to grow up. Their growth, however, should be regulated. They should neither grow too quickly nor too slowly. More and more the educational authorities were realising that they had to cater for all sides of life The girls had to grow in all respects, else the educational system failed. One could commend a perfect physique and a great mind, but be lacking in character and social relationship. If they failed to grow on the side of the spiritual they were growing out of proportion. A SICK NATION As in the life of an individual, so In the life of a community, New Zealand would shortly be celebrating its centennial year. This small country had made amazing progress in the few years of its history, but had it grown in other respects? Had it grown spiritually? They all knew that, despite all the advance New Zealand had made scientifically, it was a sick

nation. It had not grown proportionately. To leave religion out of life was like sending out a ship without a compass. FINDING NEW FRIENDS Those girls who were passing out of the school would probably still have someone with guidance over them, but they must use their initiative. They must continue working and studying without having, to be driven to it. They would be going out into a new field, and one of the first things they would miss would be the company of the classmates. They would have to find new friends, but they should see that the company they found was of the right kind. If they wanted to grow in spirit they must find and associate with people who had character and learn from them. They would all be climbing the stair of life, concluded Mr McKenzie.
