Many beautiful and useful gifts were placed on the table and at a suitable interval, Mr. Ken Pearce said that both young people had taken an active part in the Tennis and Table Tennis Clubs and all other functions in the district and in wishing them the best of luck and every happiness for the future, he asked them to accept the many gifts. Mr. Matthews suitably replied. The music for the evening was willingly supplied by Mrs. E. J. Davey and Messrs C. Grace and H, McKinnon. A duet was rendered by Misses J. and N. Masters and an elocutionary item was given by Miss Dulcie Flyger. A Monte Carlo waltz was won by Mr. and Mrs. L. Staite.
