Gilmour, Miss Tapley, Miss Gilmour and Miss Winlim ° No list of “Thank you’s” would be complete without mention of our verv good friend, Mr Alex. Sutherland, and I know you enjoyed the items given S by his pupils, who, accompanied by Miss Haus, came and danced for us. The older cousins were most helpful, and the members oi the Bovs’ Clan standing three deep at the sink, washed and dried the dishes.
