This was written on 20th November 1947, and reads:
"School is closed for the day on account of the wedding
of HRH Princess Elizabeth and Lt.Mountbatten.
The children are given a free cinema show and tea party through
the generosity of the Hay townspeople. All teachers gave a helping
hand".
No doubt the little children were very appreciative of the
kindness of the people of the town !
