CATHCART PUBLIC SCHOOL
The breaking up entertainment in connection with the above school took place on Tuesday evening in the schoolroom in the presence of a fairly numerous assembly of parents and friends of the scholars. Our esteemed Mr.H.T. ELLIOTT presided and fulfilled the duties of chairman to a nicety. Mr. WEBSTER’s splendidly toned ‘Waldemar’ pianoforte was used and Miss HOAR ably presided at the instrument, playing the whole of the accompaniments to the children’s songs and choruses. The school children were seated on an improvised platform, four tiers one above the other, and they performed a programme consisting of recitations and vocal pieces in a manner that reflected the greatest praise on themselves and credit on their teacher, Mr. T. WEBSTER. Mr. WEBSTER must have taken considerable pains and trouble to bring the juveniles up to the state of efficiency which they exhibited on Tuesday. Miss Sophie SCHAEFER, Miss HILL, Miss OATES, Miss M. O’HARA and Miss J. FRONEMAN contributed some instrumental pieces during the evening, all of which materially assisted in making the entertainment the success it was. During an interval in the programme Mr. ELLIOTT rose and said he had a most pleasant duty to perform, and that was to present Mr. WEBSTER, on behalf of the school children and their friends, with the pretty electro-plated biscuit box and other articles which were laid on the table before him. It must be indeed pleasing to Mr. WEBSTER to see this evidence of respect, esteem and attachment as between himself and his pupils on the eve, as it were, of his marriage. Mr. ELLIOTT hoped that feeling would [last] a long time and concluded amidst cheering by mentioning that every scholar had contributed his or her mite towards the wedding gift. Mr. WEBSTER acknowledged the presentation in suitable terms.
