SCHOOL'S 10TH, BIRTHDAY Addressing the gathering the Bishop said:-
Within the next two years we seventieth shall
the celebrate birthday of the school.
There can be few stories in the educational history of this Colony to compare with the story of the last five years, of the Diocesan Boys' School.

But the question that really faces this Colony is this Are you going to allow our seventieth birthday to pass with- out relieving us of the debt of $140 000 which we still owe on these school buildings?
