METHODIST LADIES' COLLEGE
The Annual Report of the Headmistress.
Another year has slipped away, but to-night we have no record of great or startling events in School life to mark 1923.
Steady plodding work has been done in the classrooms, and our sports results show that play has been entered into with enthusiasm. Owing to the change in University examinations, we sent up no candidates for the Leaving Examination (formerly Senior), now a two years' course, except a few
candidates of the previous year to complete their certificates. . . . .
