SCHOOL YEAR ENDS

BREAK-UP CEREMONIES THE MIDDLE SCHOOL’S FUNCTION SUCCESSFUL CONCERT The break-up ceremony of the Invercargill Middle School took the form of a concert, which was held in the Victoria Hall last evening. Concerts by children have a charm peculiarly their own and the hall was packed with parents and friends of the school. The programme was a lengthy one and pleasingly varied. The chairman of the School Committee, Mr W. P. Wicks, presided and his Worship the Mayor, Mr J. D. Campbell, presented the prizes and addressed the children. During the evening presentations were made on behalf of the School Committee, staff and pupils to the headmaster, Mr D. D. Steadman, who, at the commencement of next year, takes up the position of headmaster of the Forbury School, Dunedin. Mr Steadman was presented wtih a pipe, rug and tobacco pouch and a fruit dish for Mrs Steadman. A feature of the concert was the entertainment presented by the youthful Scotch humorists and singers, the Durning Twins. Their turns were very well received and they had to respond to encores. The dux of the school for the boys was lan Douglas and for the girls Jessie Buck. The sports champion was H. Haberfield and free Public Library tickets were awarded to Ana Halbert and Colin Jarman. His Worship was introduced by Mr Wicks. He said that a great debt of gratitude was owing to the executive for their efforts on behalf of the school. Addressing the children, Mr Campbell said that there would be some present who had not been successful. To them he would say not to be downhearted. There were great men in this and other lands who had started from humble beginnings and had not won prizes at school. He advised them to help their parents who took care of them. If they were not self-reliant they would not be so successful as their parents hoped, but if they were prepared to work success awaited them. Wherever they went they should do their best, be courteous, not forget to drop a kindly word and always respect the other person’s opinions. Those leaving school he wished success and to all’he wished a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. In making the presentation to Mr Steadman, the first assistant, Mr T. Baird, said that Mr Steadman had been an excellent headmaster and he was largely responsible for converting the school from an eyesore into a beauty spot. He had always worked harmoniously with the staff. Master C. Alington made the presentation on behalf of the pupils and Mr Wicks on behalf of the School Committee, Mr Wicks paying a tribute to Mr Steadman’s ability. Mr Steadman returned thanks for the presents. Mrs Steadman and he would value them, but he could assure them that they needed no such/tokens for remembrance. A tradition died hard and one tradition was that the success of a school was to be measured by the number of proficiency certificates it gainer!. He knew that a number of parents present did not believe that. At the beginning of the year all boys whom he and Mr Baird thought would benefit from the tuition in Standard G had been promoted, regardless of the fact whether they would gain proficiency certificates or not. A number of boys, mentally behind their fellow pupils, had surprised them and gained competency certificates. When he went to the Middle School, Mr Steadman continued, it" was with the Intention of finishing his teaching career there, but for certain advantages to be gained in a universit-, city he was shifting. At the conclusion of Mr Steadman’s address the audience rose and sang “For He’s a Jolly Good Fellow” and three cheers were, given. The programme was as follows: —Choir, (a) . “God Defend New Zealand,” (b) “Shanty”; (c) “Ye Banks and Braes,” (d) Hound, (e) “Drink to me only”; Durning Twins; dance, Nancy Lea; song, Annie Jenkinson; recitation, B.

His Lordship the Right Rev. Bishop of Dunedin presided at the annual break-up ceremony of St. John’s Girls’ College, whicn was held in St. John’s Memorial nail yesterday afternoon, and with him on the platform were Miss Lester (lady principal) and members of the staff, the Rev. J. A. Lush and the Rev. 11. D. Andrews-Baxter, Mr George Featherstone (secretary) and Messrs Eustace Russell and Leonard Webb of the Board of Governors. A large number of parents- and friends of the pupils of the college and ex-girls were also present. Prior to the ceremony bouquets were presented by the pupils to Miss Lester, Miss Ewing and Miss Dean. Mr Lush read the report of the lady principal, after which the Bishop, in his introductory remarks, said that he was verypleased to be present at the annual prizegiving of St. John’s Girls’ College. He was delighted to hear that an Ex-Girls’ Association had been formed in connection with the college during the year. The existence of such an association could do a great deal in the way of supporting the school and of ensuring a feeling of greater continuity. He then explained the change undergone by the mother school —St. Hilda’s College—since the sisters of the college had left for England. It had been possible to carry on the school only through the remarkable generosity of lay people, and the services of an excellent headmistress from England had been secured. The ex-girls were showing to the world their affection for St. Hilda’s by stating their intention of raising £lOOO towards the funds of the newly-formed college. In conclusion, his Lordship said that the school in Invercargill was well worthy of the support of the people of Southland, the teaching was excellent, and he hoped that some day it would be a very large institution. He wished the pupils a jolly Christmas and a happy New Year.

Mr Eustace Russell proposed a vote of thanks to Miss Lester and members of the staff for their work during the year, Mr George Featherstone proposed a vote of thanks to the parents and Mr Leonard Webb a vote of thanks to his Lordship. All were carried by acclamation. The pupils gave three cheers for Miss Lester and the staff, and three cheers for the Dux of the School, Neta Bragg. Miss Lester, in her report, stated that although at the end of 1929 she had anticipated no change in the staff, Miss MaryWebb had, unfortunately, left to take up another position. Miss Prue Smith, also an ex-pupil of the school, had been appointed in Miss Webb’s place, and had done excellent work in sport, drill and games throughout the year, as those present at the drill competition on December 11 could testify. At that exhibition, which was most interesting, Mr J. Page had kindly consented to act as judge. Miss Kitty Price, through illness, was unable to continue her lessons, these having been taken by her sister. Much sympathy had been felt for her, and it was hoped that she would soon be restored to health. In 1931 the school would be without the services of Miss Ewing, who for a little over two years had been a loyal and conscientious assistant, and who was leaving on her return to England. Miss Monica Stent, of Carterton, would be a new member of the staff. Another change would be the temporary absence of Miss Dorothy Dean, who was going to England to keep in touch with the latest developments in physical training. Miss Nancy Nicholson, an ex-pupil who had been assisting Miss Dean for the past year and had recently gained her A.T.C.L. in elocution, would carry on her work. It was very pleasant to know that old pupils were doing well. Lena Cochrane had acquitted herself very well at the Gore High School, and as assistant at Edendale Public School. Frances Russell had almost completed the home science course at Otago University. On July 8 a meeting had been held to form an ex-girls’ association-. Marian Royds was elected president, Audrey Jones vice-president, Daphne Smith' treasurer and Prue Smith sawaUw. It was

hoped that the activities of the association would grow, and would lead to a feeling of greater continuity in the life of the school. A basketball match had been held between present and ex-girls, and resulted in a win for the exgirls by a very narrow margin. The choral society under Mrs P. Webbs able guidance continued to flourish. The school magazine had been embellished with photographs and in order to raise funds for printing, a dance and bridge drive had been arranged by the senior girls during the first term.

On August 7, the school was inspected by Mr Hunter, and the report was good. On November 24, the proficiency examination had been held. Of the five candidates, one who had lost a great deal of time in the hist term on account of an operation, failed, three gained the proficiency certificate, and one competency. Six candidates were, entered for the Trinity College intermediate examination in elocution and all were successful. In music, Leonore Millard, the only candidate entered, passed the Trinity College intermediate practical examination. On December 6, the annual exhibition, of handwork was held, and in conjunction with it a tennis match, Mothers v. Daughters, was played. In sets the match was a draw, but in games the mothers were slightly superior. The Fathers, in the annual fixture, the basketball match, also showed their superiority in a keenly contested game. The bazaar held in September was most successful, the total proceeds being £127 3/9, a far better result than ever before attained. Some of the ex-girls, with the kind assistance of Mrs Snow, provided a play for the evening entertainment. Thanks were due to the parents and ex-girls who worked so splendidly. The annual sports held on Wednesday in Easter week were enjoyed by young and old. The swimming sports owing to an ,error on the part of the authorities at the baths were not held. It was hoped to hold them early next year. Thanks were due to the staff, who had given of their best during the year, to the Rev. J. A. Lush, and the Rev. A. D. And-rews-Baxter for very valuable help, Mr George Featherstone, a kind and indefatigable secretary, to the Governors, whose courtesy, support and interest in the school were unfailing, and to all those who had helped in providing prizes. A special vote of thanks was due to his Lordship the Bishop of Dunedin for presiding at the function. They were specially honoured this year in the presence of Mrs Richards and Miss Richards. There was still another to whom thanks were due, and that was the old shepherd, Mr Y'oung, who had thought sufficiently well of the school to leave it £5OO of his hard-earned savings. His name would never be forgotten in the annals of St. John’s School.
