A school sports day featured a range of events with strong crowd support. Miss Hall and Kv Anderson led the girls by votes, while Wilfred Hong won the school bogs race and J Kiven’s horse, owned by K J Kirke, topped the horse events. Mentions of performers like Miss Ivy Mesh and Mr. Nugent highlight a lively program and notable participant mix.
