OTAGO GIRLS' HIGH SCHOOL JUBILEE.
On January 30, 1921, the Jubilee Association of the Otago Girls' High School commences, by a church service, its celebrations of the fiftieth anniversary of the opening of the school, which was the fiirst of its kind in the southern hemisphere. On the following Monday afternoon there is to bo a formal reception of all those interested in the school, with songs, country dances, displays of physical drill, and afternoon tea. On Monday evening there will bo musical items and speeches and reminiscences of school lifo, and on Tuesday an excursion down the harbour, all with tho hope of calling to mind many old school
memories. One feature of the celebrations is the compilation of the names and present adresses of all those whose nair.es were on the school roll.. Many difficulties have beset this scheme. Deaths, lapse of time, similarity of names, changes of name anil residence ; all have made u complete roll almost an impossibility. The Otago Gals' High School Jubilee Association is advertising in this issue that any reader who is an oxpupil or knows of one who has not received a circular might send her name (maiden and married) to Miss Waters, Woods' Private Hotel, Dunedin.
