week. than there ever has been on a
similar occasion, during the history of
the school. The reunions of the col
lcge alumni is proving to be a great
drawing feature and applications for
entertainment during the week have
been coming in from intending visitors,
for some time. Without doubt Kent's
Hills facilities for entertaining dur
ing the week will be tested to it's ut
most capacity.
