GOOD WISHES

FAREWELL FUNCTION A'f TE RORE. The Te Rore Hall was filled to capacity on Wednesday evening last when practically every person in the district assembled to bid farewell to Mr E. J. Guest, who for the past six and a-half years has been in charge of the Te Rore School and who now is leaving to enter the non-commis-sioned officers’ camp in preparation for military service overseas. Mr G. Finn, chairman of the School Committee, in asking Mr Guest to accept a wristlet watch and money belt, referred to the splendid services rendered by their friend not only as a teacher of juveniles but as a very willing and efficient worker in every phase of the district’s activities. Mr Guest had well earned the high esteem of the community, and his career would.be watched with interest, for he was taking with him the goodwill of everybody. Mr Coxhead, in supplementing Mr Finn’s remarks, referred to Mr Guest’s great help as secretary of the Te Rore Sports Club and also as a “live wire” at the flower shows. He was a lover of flowers, and had instilled some of that love into the cjiildren of the district. Mr Guest suitably replied, and assured all present that anything he had done had ben done very willingly, and it was in part due to the loyal cooperation and encouragement he had at all times experienced from the people of the district. The ladies of the district dispensed a very tasty supper, and dancing was continued until well after midnight. During the evening items were contributed by Mrs Barry (violin selections), Misses Butterworth and Joyce Coxhead (songs), and Una Bell and Keith Allcock (elocution).
