At the Main New Brighton School yesterday afternoon the presentation ox tne Collins Cup for life saving was made bv the donor, Mr F. L. Collins. This is the sixth time in succession that tne New Brighton School has won this cup, which is awarded annually to the primary school gaining the most awards for life-saving by the boys. Forty awards were gained this year by the winners. . ■ , Mr Collins, in presenting the cup, said a pleasing feature of the annual report of the Canterbury Centre of the Life Saving Society was that many of those who in the past had gained awards at the New Brighton School had since presented classes of their own, and' gained teachers’ or honorary instructors’ certificates at other schools. The following awards were then presented:— Elementary Certificate—Noell Angell, Warwick Arrowsmith, Lloyd Barry, Leonard Clements, Douglas Cocks, Sam Besley, Harry Cook, George Hoswell, Lewis Hudson, Mervyn Kinsman, Ken Sorrell, Harry Wilkins, Jessie Franklin, Olive Wyatt, Betty Bennett.
