ARAMOHO SCHOOL BREAK-UP AND CONCERT. On Tuesday night, in the Duchess Theatre, the Aramoho School held its break-up concert. The house was crowded and a long and varied programme was presented which was greatly appreciated. Owing to the length of the programme, encores were not permitted. A feature of the evening was the presentation of a stage play, “The Quest of tho Greenwood,” by the pupils of Miss N. McLaren’s elocutionary class Tho stage was suitably decorated and very pretty costumes were worn by those taking part. The production was a great credit to the producer, Miss Maclaren. Opportunity was taken by the chair man of tho school committee, Mr. Halligan, to make a presentation of a handsome silver photoframe, suitably engraved, to the Dux of the school, Jessie Nelson. Mr. Halligan congratulated the teachers and children on the year’s work and on the excellent concert programme presented. Last Day at School. Yesterday afternoon nt the school presentation was made of good attend a nee certificates and 24 swimming certificates. There was a happy gathering of parents and frier®, Mr. Halligan presiding. The combined singing by the children of two songs, “ Hoia Ra” and “God Defend New Zealand,” was very pleasing indeed.
