Nearly 300 pupils of Hilton School had their annual picnic and sports on Balintore green, Mr. D. MacKay, Cape Town, South Africa, a native of Hilton, has for many years sent a donation of £4 to help pay for this event. Donations of money were also received from Mrs Brewster, Pitkerrie and Mrs Strachan, Balintore. Instead of sweets each pupil was given a penny before they were sent home.
