The first display of the gymnasium was given by the members on Thursday evening, 13 October, 1927, under the direction of the instructors. There was a fair attendance of parents, and, in addition, Mr. and Mrs. Meredith and several other officials of the Company and their wives were present. A. W. Hutchin was unavoidably absent, but we are pleased to record that he was ably represented by his dog “Towser,” who viewed the proceedings from a prominent position on the stage with languid interest. Messers. Bryant and Bishop had charge of the girls’ and boys’ class respectively, while Mr. Brocklehurst handled the combined team in the games section.
The girls and boys performed splendidly, thus in no small measure recompensing the instructors for the time expended in instruction.
In order to give the parents an idea of how the boxing instruction would be carried out, an exhibition bout was staged between two local lads. The children were greatly excited and enthusiastic when the lads warmed up to their work. Possibly some of the adults were, too. Who knows?
During the evening Mr. Meredith kindly donated two sets of boxing gloves to the gymnasium, and the boys showed their appreciation of the gift in no uncertain manner.
We are now pleased to inform Mr. Meredith that the boys are making use of the gloves, and are on the road to pugilistic success under the able direction of Mr. Dan. Ward.
In the last issue of “The Electorode” mention was made of the keen rivalry between the boys and girls, but their keenness on the night of the display was such that it makes it very difficult to choose between them, so we will call it a tie.

The first display quarterly judging was carried out by the judges (Messsrs. Lipscombe and Creswell) on the 4th of October, 1927, and the improvement since the commencement of the competition was apparent in every case. Mr. J. Adams received top marks, closely followed by Messrs. Powell, Phillips, Langridge, and Scott, with most of the others up round the 80 mark. It should be clearly understood that the first judging covered improvement and upkeep only. The growth, maturity, and condition of plants will be taken into consideration by the judges at the end of the year.
