TE AWA SCHOOL PICNIC AND SPORTS The annual picnic which concludes the school year at Te Awa. Winchester Sett lenient, was held recently at j Caroline Bay. and was most enjoyable. Conveyance by bus from Te Awa to the bay and back, was much appreciated. and the weather being perfect, there was a large attendance. The opportunity was taken of inspecting the ship Sultan Star, during which many kindly explanations were given. Later a short sports programme was i held, this being due to the generosity | of Mr J. C. South, who gave prizes for | the races and sweets for a scramble. Mr Cross gave ice cream for all pupils, and cheers for these men were given at the call of the chairman, Mr C. Cribb.
