Well, never mind, I've done my bit, at any rate!" The next on the list was a song from Annie Hardy.

She had chosen "Keep the Home Fires Burning," and rendered it with great effect, the whole room joining with enthusiasm in the chorus.

It took so well that there were shouts of "Encore!" and Annie came back smiling to give "Khaki Boys," which roused her audience to an even higher pitch of patriotic fervor.

A recitation, "Our Hockey Match," by Agnes Heath, was felt to be particularly appropriate to the occasion.

It was a very good "school piece," humorous as well as exciting, and Agnes had enough dramatic ability to do justice to it.
