Roller Skating.

The scholars have become enthu- siastic roller skaters, and a very Iarge crowd was assembled in the covered playground at 4.43 to watch a football match played oa akaten. The game was moet 12 teresting to watch, and spectators were amazed to learn from the Headmaster that it is only some four

five weeks since the boys just took up skating. The exhibi- tion skating which followed, in which a large number of boys of all ages took part, was done with precision and considerable skill, and was a capital entertainment.

Mr. D. Trafford, who was on the Staff from 1920 to 1995, returned from England on Friday.

Miss E. Fiddes, who has been on the Staff for ten years and is Senior Lady Teacher, went on furlough on Saturday.

Apart from the fact that more than half of the loss for the year 1997 consists of depreciation charges over which we have no control, it will be seen that a reduction in general establishment charges of approximately 824,000, for the cur rent year should put a much better complexion on the accounts.
