PLEASANT POINT FLOWER SHOW

District High School Creditable Display Perfect weather prevailed on Thursday for the annual flower show of the Pleasant Point District High School. As was expected, the quantity of goods and produce for sale was below normal, the extraordinary season being mainly responsible. The show itself was highly creditable, and the attendance of friends of the school was excellent. Mr N. L. Bailey, speaking on behalf of the school committee, thanked the staff for their splendid work, special praise being due to the secretary, Mrs B. A. Smith. He also thanked donors, exhibitors, officials and workers. The show was then declared open by Mr J. H. Pennycook, agricultural Instructor for South Canterbury schools, who congratulated all who had contributed to the success attained, and who also emphasised the value of such a show in the community, and as a real education for the pupils of the school.
