Modern Accommodation For College Girls

In last month's "Photo News" we took our readers through the new Nelson College for Girls' hostel, the Clarice Johnstone House. In this issue we followed the Minister of Education (Mr Tennent) through the hostel after he had performed the official opening ceremony late in February. Guest of honour at the function was Miss Johnstone, former principal in whose honour building was named.
