for several months, and preliminary work should be started early in the new
financial year, subject to the approval of the P. and C., and of the Department
of Education.
A larger, and more long-range plan being considered is the
provision of a Great Hall for the school. Certainly, this would fill
a great need of the school where, at present, an assembly of the
pupils or any public function for the school must be held in the
open-air. When the project is undertaken, the building erected must
be large enough to meet the requirements of the school, and must
be of such architectural standard that it will bear comparison with
the fine main building of the school.
In conclusion, may I list the Executive Officers who have controlled the
destiny of the Parents and Citizens Association during the financial year which
ended on August 31st, 1961. They are: President, Mr. F. J. Ingram; Vice-
Presidents, Mr. J. Simpson (also Immediate Past President), Mr. G. Lake
(resigned), Mr. Stuart Hulme; Secretary, Mrs. A. Barker; Treasurer, Mr. Alf.
Bolitho. To these faithful executive officers, the President offers his very
sincere thanks.
F. J. INGRAM, President.
