' Mrs. Emerson, L.T.C.L., acted as accompanist. The report for the class for the year disclosed very successful results, inas much as one of the pupils (Master Rodney Pankhurst) secured honors for both singing and playing, and he also secured the ‘ Martha Myers ’ gold medal awarded by the Trinity College. The following pupils secured passes iii the Trinity College examinations: —Misses" Mollie Fisher, Edna* Emerson, Madge Janson, Irene Yeatts, Eileen Mullaney, Doris Bamforth, and Master Lennox McPhee, whilst Miss Beatrice Emerson secured a pass in the Royal Academy of Music.

Three small pupils, Doris Bamforth and Stuart and Harvey Emerson, gathered many coppers by their singing of ‘ Please give me a penny,’ and this, too, supplemented the donation.
