Invercargill

(From our own correspondent.) . April 5. A large and enthusiastic meeting of the old boys of the local Marist Brothers’ School was held recently for the purpose of discussing the question of forming a Marist Old Boys’ Football Club. Rev. Brother Anselm presided. He appealed to all present to consider the advantages of such clubs. The time was ripe for falling into line with the other centres in which such clubs were already established. He outlined the aims of the promoters—namely, to foster a spirit of goodfellowship and to , maintain the traditions of their old school both on and off the field. He invited the freest discussion, so that those who would be appointed to pilot the club through the initial stages would have the benefit of their suggestions. Several others spoke in favor of the proposal, which was carried unanimously. Office-bearers were then elected, and a committee appointed. The new club has been admitted to the Saturday competitions, and everything augurs well for a successful season.
