The Closing Exerctses---June, 1926

exercises of the school and the presentation of scholarships and
prizes.

implied, was established to train the students in the field of Applied Art.

closing and spoke of the School from its beginning and paid tribute to

commended Mr. Scott and Mr. Marega highly for their work in making
the School a success.
