CRICKETERS GATHER

EX-STUDENTS' CLUB AWAITING NEW SEASON Satisfaction with the position of the club for the start of the new season was expressed on Wednesday by Mr. J. Crawford-Smith, the chairman at the annual meeting of the Gisborne High School Old Boys' Cricket Club. There was an attendance of 40 mem'bers.

Porter, the captain of each team, and the club captain and secretary. It was decided to enter one senior A grade team and two senior B grade teams in 'the competitibns.
