Local Convent School Concert and Armistice Reflections
Readable notes describe a December concert by Goomalling Convent School pupils at the Mechanics Institute with a dance to follow and a later Northam crowd enjoying St Joseph’s and Antony’s Convent pupils. The piece also recounts the armistice terms signed by Marshal Foch and Admiral Wemyss, reflecting on Germany’s defeat and the war’s end. It cites casualty and troop figures for Australia up to September 30 and criticizes wartime and railway bargains between states and the Commonwealth, then notes Northam Municipal elections nominations and local contest hints for Went Ward and Central road seats.
