HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
W. F. S. Hutley Memorial.
This fund has been further advanced by a donation of £20 from Dr. A. R. Southwood. It is hoped that the older scholars will forward their donations promptly to Miss J. Hannam, High School, so that the fund may soon be finalised.
The R. W. Cole Appeal.
This sum now amounts to £66, it is hoped that the £100 will be reached. Numerous suggestions have been offered, and the amount at our disposal will determine how many of these suggestions will be effected.

Included in Old Scholars Week this year, will be a ceremony of deep interest, not only to old scholars, but to many residents of the town and district. There will be an unveiling of a memorial at the grave of the late R. W. Cole at the Kadina cemetery on Sunday. August 24, the concluding day of O. S. Week. A memorial fund was opened by the Kadina Memorial High School, and the students canvassed the town for donations which were readily given. Out of the amount raised, £33 6/8 was ear-marked, the interest from which provides an annual "R. W. Cole Memorial Prize" for the science: also a memorial plaque has been erected in the entrance porch at the school, and the balance of the money will now be expended on a fitting tribute at the grave of this friend of so many old scholars and citizens.
