ST. PATRICK’S COLLEGE, WELLINGTON

The annual prize-giving function was held at St. Patrick’s College on December 10. The boys presented a very delightful little programme to an audience consisting of many relatives and friends, and also many of the clergy, including the Very Kev. Dean Smyth, S.M. (Provincial of Marist Order), the Yen. Archdeacon Devoy, the Very Rev. Father Roche, C.SS.R., and Rev. Father O’Connell, S.M. The acting-rector. Rev. Father O’Reilly, S.M., 8.A., made a short speech,; apologising for the absence of the rector. Very Rev. Dr. Kennedy, who at present is in the Old Country, and who could not return in time for the break-up owing to the outbreak of war. He outlined the work done for the year, which had proved highly satisfactory in every respect. The prize-money had been devoted to. the Belgian fund, at the boys’ request, except that for a few medals and special prizes, which were the gifts of private donors. Certificates of merit replaced, prizes, and these were presented by his Grace Coadjutor Archbishop O’Shea, who afterwards addressed the boys and congratulated them on the good work they had done. The programme included two playlets, excellently staged and dressed by the boys. The first was Act 1., Scene 111., from Othello,’ and B. Chapman, who played the name part, gave an excellent portrayal. The second was a Latin playlet, ‘ Idus Martiae,’ equally well performed, the actors showing a quite wonderful intimacy with their parts in an unaccustomed language. The College orchestra gave several selections, the first from the ‘ Bohemian Girl,’ also the ‘ Melody in F ’ (Rubinstein), and as a final item, ‘ Where my caravan has rested ’ (Lohr). The proceedings concluded with the singing of the National Anthem. Following is the prize-list: Entrance Scholarships. The Kennedy Scholarships, of the yearly value of £2O, tenable for four years, have • been gained by Justin Lynch, Convent School, Queenstown, and Timothy Fouhy, Marist Brothers’ School, Tasman street, Wellington.
