GIRLS’ GRAMMAR
SCHOOL SPORTS

Ceiriog is champion
House

ALTHOUGH the weather was not promising, all the events but one in the Girls’ Grammar School annual sports on Tuesday week were held out of doors. One heavy shower meant a hurried exodus from the field, but the events were completed in good time

Coun. James Lynch, one of the governors, presented the prizes, and was introduced by Dr. D. L. Graham, the headmistress.

The winning house was Ceiriog with 818 points; Goronwy had 777; Islwyn 661; and Alafon 643. Points gained for entry before sports’ day were Goronwy 592; Islwyn 576; Ceiriog 568; and Alafon 463.
