Coliseum. Ironically, the Stratford . Junior Farmers' is the only club which has operated the entire 75 years in Perth, something not. often seen for club. based in an urban centre, At that time, 1922, there were two clubs— a junior farmers for boys, and a junior institute for. the young ladies, At one tinie. in Perth's hist°- . ry, : there were nine different clubs—St. Marys.
