WATERINGBURY OLD BOYS' SOCIETY.

The Wateringbury School Old Boys’ Society held their 11th annual dinner on Wednesday evening, at the “North Pole” Inn, Watering­bury, under the chairmanship of Mr. Edgar A. Smith, A.C.P. The landlord of the “North Pole” being an “old boy,” naturally did his best to make the evening a success so far as the dinner was concerned, and it can be said that he fully succeeded. Although the number of members present was rather smaller than usual, so many members being on military or naval duty, yet there was quite a good gathering, and a most enjoyable evening was spent.

The following members provided most of the music:— Messrs. H. Chatfield, F. Cronk, Wm. Waterman, A. B. Baker, J. Neame, H. Green and A.E. Smith.

The Chairman during the evening was able to announce that the membership of the Society was still increasing, many new members having joined during the year.
