WAR MEMORIAL AT HIGH SCHOOL
Combined Effort Suggested
A suggestion that the old boys of the Southland Boys’ High School should combine to provide a memorial at the school in memory of the old boys who had given their lives in the second world war, was made by the rector, Dr G. H. Uttley, in responding to a toast at the annual reunion of the Old Boys’ Association on Saturday night. Dr Uttley said that the plaque at the school in memory of the old boys who had fallen in the first world war had been presented by the late Mr William Macalister. However, on this occasion he thought that the memorial should be provided by a combined effort. The boys of the school had already raised £l6O for a war memorial fund, and he considered that the total sum aimed should be at least £lOOO. It should not be difficult to raise this amount, considering the hundreds of boys who had passed through the school.
