VICTORY PARTY
A victory
party was given to their pupils in the Congregational Schoolroom,
Knottingley, on Tuesday by the 'K Sisters'. Tea included cakes
decorated and iced in red white and blue by Mrs. Tether. Tea was
served by Mrs Williamson, Miss H. Rhodes and Mrs. Kellet and each child
received a bottle of pop and a piece of toffee. Later, games were
