School Entertainment

The children of Westmill School gave a very successful entertainment on Friday in last week to a good and appreciative audience, in the Village Hall.

The first part of the programme took the nature of a ****** Troupe, and the boys acquitted themselves very creditably, with John Miller as Interlocutor and Charles and Ernest Pegram as cornermen, supported by Keith Bright and Edward Rayment.

To help in the singing, several girls dressed as pierrots gave a striking effect on the stage. This part concluded with a small sketch, entitled "The Ghost," very ably performed by the cornermen and Keith Bright, as ghost.

The second part was miscellaneous, chiefly devoted to the performance of the infants, which was capitally done and elicited continued applause from the audience.

Kathleen Jackson gave a monologue in a very clear and appreciative manner, followed by a song by Violet Miller, so well rendered that an encore was accorded her. 

The last item was a sketch, called "Who's Who?" performed by four girls (Hilda Reed, Elsie Bradbury, Alice Miller and Florrie Moule), all of whom gave a very good account of themselves, though the acting of Florence Moule as the servant, "Jemima Anne," brought round after round of laughter and applause.

A capital evening concluded with the National Anthem, and a hearty vote of thanks proposed by Mr C. Hummerstone to Mr Harvey and Miss Hankin was most warmly responded to.

As the entertainment was given in aid of the Nursing Fund, the sum of £4 1s. was handed over to Mrs C. Hummerstone, the secretary of the Westmill branch of the Nursing Association.

Buntingford journeyed to Walsworth on Saturday last for the semi-final of the North Herts. Charity Shield, and won a fine game by two goals to nil.

The ground was in a terrible state after practically a week's rain, but much good football was seen.

Both goalkeepers had plenty to do, but it was not until the last ten minutes that E. Pledger scored the first goal. T. Moule, who deputised well for his brother at outside right, got the second just before the final whistle.

The Town now meet either Kimpton or Pirton in the final on Boxing Day at Hitchen. Tomorrow Roydon will provide the opposition in the third round of the Herts. Junior Cup, and a good game is expected.

Football

A lengthy report of this match between Aspenden and Buntingford in the Herts Junior Cup has had to be omitted from this issue owing to pressure of space.

The re-play proved a good attraction and a fair-sized crowd saw a keen and interesting game.

After Buntingford had scored twice T. Moule netted for Aspenden and put a fresh spirit into the game.

In the ding-dong battle two players stood out prominently: North in the Aspenden goal and Howlett at centre-half for Buntingford. These two players put in a most creditable display.
