master to commence duties at the be* ginning of the second term. The principal, Mr J. Conolly, reported that there was great enthusiasm among members of the Pipe Band, which was the largest in number in the history of the college. The expenditure of several hundred pounds for the building up of the library and school materials was authorised. It was decided to hold an Anzac service at the college on Friday, April 23. The principal reported that film strips obtained from the Dunedin Training College were being used for teaching purposes. A second swimming period per week had been arranged at the Municipal Baths. Two pupils of the college had been selected to represent Otago at swimming in the junior section against Southland, one, William Macalister, having succeeded in winning the 100 Yards Backstroke at Invercargill.
