Speafting at the complimentary social at ' which the retirement of Mr Duncan MoNeil was strikingly i.ecognised *on Wednesday night, Mr J. A. Henry, a member of thrt school staff, had some "remarks to make in delightfully humorous vein. He was referring to, the thousands of children who h.ad passed through the Waihopai Sohool during Mr McNeil's notable connection with it. "During the past few days," he said, " I gave myselE the pleasure of going through some of the old sohool registers, . and I find that the names of .past and present pupils taught by Mr McNeil fall into some remarkable groups. For instanoe. I discovered that his olasses had inoluded 9 grays. 7 Browns, 7 ' Whites, 2 Blues, and 1 Blaokley ; 5 Broads, 6 Smallß, 2 Shorts, 'and 1 Long; 1 Sharp 1 Smart, and 2;Quiokes; 4 Hunters, 3 Brewers, 4 Coopers^ 2:Brtkers, arid 1 Butoher; 5 Hawkes, 4 Birds, 2 Martins, 2 Swans, . 2' 'Cranns, 3 Wrens, aiid 1 Sparrow; 2 Meadows, 4* Fields, 4 leas, and lTFehn ; 2 Manns, 2 Boyes, and 2 Kidda," When the roars of ' laughter had subsided Mr Henry went, on to say that he often wondered why Mr McNeil had not been a grsat church-goer, but he found that the explanation was simple. 'He conducted *|his own church at school! where he had had 1 Parsons, 3 Elders, 3 Deacons, and 2 Usshere. The big gathering appreciated the novel explanation fully.
