Pupils of the school, old and new, will be sending him a present to mark the?occasion. All those who have?contributed towards the?gift?will sign their names in a large?album?which will be sent to the headmasters home. We shall all remember Mr. Page for his?patience?and understanding and for the?kindly?encouragemen the gave us when we went so?unwillingly?to school. A great many former pupils will be attending a?farewell?dinner in his?honour?next Thursday.

For him, this will be an?entirely?new?hobby. But this does not matter, for, as he has often remarked, one is never too old to learn.
