    In conclusion I would like to thank all those members of the School Medical Department and the Education Office who have helped the school in so many ways during the year. I would also like to thank all the staff at Southlands, both teaching and domestic, for all their hard work and loyal service throughout the year. I would particularly like to thank the teachers who gave so freely of their time to welcome students and visitors, take children on visits, help in running the P.T.A. and Youth Club and in super¬ vising outdoor pursuits in addition to their arduous teaching work. Thanks to their efforts this year has been a busy, happy and successful year of progress for our children. (Signed) J. B. COLLINGWOOD, Headmaster.
