The girls were exceedingly happy and thankful for the tasteful food and use- ful presents.

That day, among others of the previous ten years, will always be re- membered by them.
The sum of $380.80 (Dollars Three: Hundred and eighty and cents eighty) has been handed over to me by Mr. Cunningham, the Honorary Secretary of the Christ Church Group of the V.D.MA, who are responsible for the organising this outing, being balance of the money received in connection with the outing.
