MR. J. ANDERSON PROMINENT FOOTBALLER A very pleasant little social function was held in St. Mary’s Hall last evening, when the friends of Mr. J. Anderson, who is shortly leaving Waipukurau, gathered to bid him farewell. The hall was attractively decorated and dancing was enjoyed during the evening.

Ricketts, on behalf of the High School Old Boys’ Football Club, referred in the highest terms to the sterling qualities of the guest of honour, expressing the general regret felt at his impending departure and assuring him of the goodwill of his team mates and other friends. He then presented Mr. Anderson with a handsome silver shaving set in a leather case. The guest, who was accorded musical honours, suitably responded.
