Again this year, some pupils in the Junior School took part in the Burns verse speaking competition. The poems were: Juniors 1 and 2 recited "Hey the Dusty Miller", Juniors 3 and 4, "Ode to the Toothache" and Juniors 5 and 6, "An Epitaph for Holy Willie".
We were very pleased that Mr. George Anderson, former President of the World Burns Federation, kindly agreed to judge the competition again this year. Mr. Anderson is an experienced adjudicator and was very impressed by the standard of the children's recitation.
