GIRLS’ HIGH SCHOOL

SUCCESSFUL SPORTS DAY M. MATANGI SENIOR CHAMPION. KEEN COMPETITION DISPLAYED. The annual sports of the New Plymouth Girls’ High School were hel l on the school grounds on Saturday afternoon. Though weather conditions in the morning promised anything but for the best, the aspect changed by 1 p.m., and notwithstanding that a fresh breeze was blowing at the time, the sheltering trees surrounding the ground made the afternoon very pleasant. As a result a crowd of parents and friends attended, all enjoying a very happy day. Prior to Saturday a large number of -events had already been contested, so that it was only necessary to run the finals. Exciting finishes were witnessed in many of the races, while points were very even in both the intermediate and junior championships. The senior contest, however, was almost a “runaway,” as the first and second were separated by 18 points. The championship results were as follow:

Senior. —M. Matangi (25 points) 1, I. Christoffel (7 points) 2. Intermediate.—M. Allen (11 points) 1, F. McNeil (10 points) 2. Junior. —K. Tremlett (10 points) 1, T. Slyfield (8 points) 2. Officials for the day were: Marksman, Mr. H. Billing; starter, Dr, E. Fqgkes; judges, Messrs. E. P. Webster and E. Lash. The duties of stewards were carried out by the school staff. A telegram was received .by Miss Allan conveying “Good wishes for sports day” from old girls who are attending Otago University. At the conclusion of the sports, all adjourned to the assembly hall, where a dainty afternoon tea was served by a number of girls-.
