That below shows the old school on the occasion of some function, probably towards the end of last century. The old schoolhouse, now modernised, is incorporated in the new school, and is the portion in the picture above bearing the name of the school. The old-timers against the wall are, left to right, Kennedy, Hamilton Jones, John Tewnley, Tros.U'Ren (the first white boy born in Poverty Bay), Sir James Carroll, C. Heller Evans,--------, J. A. Harding, E. P. Joyce, Chas. Evans, ----, and Noble Jones. In front, William Saird, and Delton.
