The "Comps."
August school holiday time is also competition time, and this year "The Comps" again drew large entries and good support from the public. After a week of stage appearances, the final night arrived in time to give both competitors and officials a well-earned rest, the trophies were handed out, and "The Comps" were over for another year.
