The Horotiu School children provided the entertainment during the first part of the programme, the second part being taken up with items from Ngaruawahta and Glen Massey artists, followed by dancing until arter midnight. . , Rare talent was displayed by the school children In rendering their various pieces. The tiny tots with their rolk dancing, songs and portrayals of nursery rhymes and stories being particularly pleasing, while the senior hoys and girls, with dialogues, part singing' and burlesque sketches, added to the evening’s enjoyment. From the volume of applause accorded each Item, there was no doubt of the audience’s pleasure with the fare provided. The headmaster, jir McPherson, and his assistant, Miss Cato, were the subject or a eulogistic speech by the chairman of the Horotiu School Committee, who referred to the high standard attained in general school work, and also to the work done In' connection with the organising or the concert.
