The line of colorful students would march (or trail) through Belgrave's main thor- oughfareS. The area of the main corner would be full of parents. younger brothers and sisters and other spectators, few were those who didn't turn out to see us march in our paper hats, white shirts, etc. Aged and infirm folk who seldoin stirred out otherwise were sere to turn up. Our particular Sehetil alwaye gathered at Davy Scott's (Helton lewirie) house to line up, We Would chatter and jostle until zero hour, with a teacher and perhaps a mother or two struggling to keep us from getting messed up until we got started.

The precious tickets hold- ing prize stickers were carefully preserVed as a check on the prize money that came to the schools in a Week or So, and the exhibits were bundled into the ears and taken away, Supper was a little rushed too.
