WAVERLEY NOTES

DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOL The third recital by Miss Cara Hall, under the direction of the Education Board, took place at the Wayerley School earlier this month. This recital is probably to be the last and in reviewing the three it is obvious that all music-loving pupils of the school have benefited greatly from them. The recital consisted of Bach’s organ Concerto, Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, Juba, Dr. Dett, two Bach Gavottes, Polonaise No. 6, and Etude in E flat by Chopin. Miss Hall was presented with a lovely shoulder spray made by some of the High School pupils after her recital. STEEPLECHASE. The annual steeplechase was run in November, the Convent School taking part also. Results were: Junior, D. Ray Hooper, 15min. 40sec„ 1; E. Symes 2, P. Coleman 3; Convent, R. Street 4. Senior: D.H.S.. M. Kerr, 15min. 18sec., 1, N. Fowler 2, H. Symes 3, K. Hunter 4; Convent, S. Street 4. House points: Rutherford 169, Marsden 175, Seddon 237, Wakefield 278. CONCERT.
