Pyangle Mems.
Empire Day. - Owing to the threatening weather, Mrs. Hickey was almost persuaded to postpone the celebrations at the Public School to a more favorable condition of the elements, but, as midday drew nigh, old King Sol peeped out just sufficient to tempt the parents and friends of the pupils to put in an appearance in such numbers that it was decided to carry out the programme. A very fortunate decision it was, as the function turned out a complete success:- It is some time past since such a large number of people were seen within the walls, grand-children and grand-parents, who had been pupils being present. All seemed for the time to enter into the games and rompings of the present generation that must have brought back memories of the past most vividly, that augurs well for a much larger and successful gathering when Empire Day comes round again. The school grounds were very tastefully decorated by an avenue of flags on poles, planted on each side of the path from the gate to the school porch, where a large one with King Edward's picture was draped. Under the direction of Mrs. Hickey, the pupils were put through the following programme, as laid down by the Public Instruction Department, in a most creditable manner: - Instructions to pupils on Empire Day; recitation, 'Curfew Shall not Ring Tonight,' M. E. Keegan; song, 'The Violet,' four girl pupils; recitation, 'The Drover,' Erlane Walshe; part song, 'Farewell, Dear,' Pupils; recitation, 'Papa's Letter,' Stanley Taylor; song, 'When the Empire Calls,' Pupils; recitation, 'The Cricketer,' Prosper Walshe; action song, 'Recreation,' Pupils; recitation, 'The Dying Chief,' J. Walshe; 'God Save the King,' Pupils. At the close three cheers were given by the company. Mr. J. G. Keegan (chairman) complimented the children on the highly creditable manner in which they had performed their programme, and urged them to make good use of their present opportunities to lay up a store of knowledge that they would find indispensible when they went out into the world to fight the battles of life. To the parents present he was desired by Mrs. Hickey to convey her grateful thanks to them for attending in such large numbers, I and that all were well and spared to see another Empire Day. She would deem no trouble too great to present a programme worthy of the occasion. Mr. Keegan then delivered an interesting address as to why they should celebrate Empire Day. It was well they should have these events in remembrance, as they journeyed through the year. Events were happening so close on one another in the life of nations, that it was well they should seek to keep alive their connection with the Motherland, through the crimson thread of kinship that bound them to the land of their forefathers. Whilst they loved the old land none the less, they were building up a 'Greater Britain' under the 'Southern Cross.' Let them strive to avoid the isms and schisms that go to cause such dissension and entanglements there. In deeds that have made the Empire they had taken no mean place, and so much so that they made enemies of old England tremble, as their sons took their place in the field of battle when the Empire called. On the motion of Mr. W. Hickey, a hearty vote of thanks was awarded the chairman for his instructive address. An adjournment was made to the playground, where the children were pub through dumb-bell drill, 'saluting the flag,' and marching round the school grounds with flags and banners aloft, to that old martial strain 'Marching Through Georgia.' The Misses Hickey, with Miss Elsie Smede, supplied good music on the violins during the day, which added very much to the success of the celebrations. Various games were then indulged in until the rain caused shelter to be taken in the schoolroom. Whilst the ‘billy boiled’ Messrs. A. Batten, M. Keegan and J. G. Keegan gave several recitations to pass the time away. Ample provision was supplied to meet the appetites of the large company present. The shades of evening drawing nigh ended a most pleasant celebration15

Presentation at Lue.
Once more the grounds of Pyangle school were en fete, last Saturday afternoon being the occasion of a farewell by the pupils to their teacher, Miss Campbell, who is severing her connection with the Department.
Mr. E. Batten occupied the chair, and spoke of the good qualities of Miss Campbell as a teacher and as a citizen. He then called upon Miss Lottie Powell, one of the pupils, who voiced her sincere regret at losing Miss Campbell.
Miss Eileen Walsh then made the presentation, which took the form of a very handsome silver-mounted biscuit barrel, presented by the pupils. In making the presentation she said: “On behalf of my schoolmates, I ask your acceptance of this small token of our esteem and love. During your short stay amongst us, you have proved yourself a kind and efficient teacher. We are sorry that you are leaving us, and wish you peace and happiness in your new home, every blessing that God can bestow, is the earnest wish of your pupils of Pyangle.”
Mr. A. Batten suitably responded on behalf of Miss Campbell.
Refreshments were then partaken of, which were provided by the parents. An enjoyable evening was brought to a close by games, etc16
