Miss A.Y. Teggettes trained & took with another member of staff a Choric Speech Team of 25 pupils to Newcastle to compete in the N. of England Tournament. This team was placed third, missing second place by one point. The adjudicator spoke highly of the team & especially complimented Miss Teggettes for her work. She is worthy of very high praise for setting & maintaining a high standard of efficiency in this particular subject.
