LIBRARY FUND

TECHNICAL SCHOOL CONCERT. FINE PROGRAMME PRESENTED. An entertainment of outstanding Quality was presented at St. Mary s Hall, Hawera, on Wednesday night by past and present pupils of the Hawera Technical High School in aid of the reference library fund. From a financial point of view the concert was most successful, there being a large audience, while a large number of tickets were sold to people who did not attend on account of the wet weather. Arranged by Miss Joyce Dix, the programme was delightfully varied and appealed to the audience. The introduction of a number of folk dances and national dances lent colour to the programme. „. The presentation of the first act of oir James Barrie’s play “Quality Street, was a fitting finale to an excellent programme. Produced by Miss B. Earle, the play was well acted. The cast was: Peggy Hay-Mackenzie (Phoebe Throssel) Norma Thomas (Susan Throssel), Joan Harding (Valentine Brown),- Jean Stevensen (Patty, a servant), Audrey Stewart (Fanny Willoughby), Barbara Thomson (Mary Willoughby), Joyce Knightbright (recruiting sergeant).
