New Life for the Pacific Is. Society
Under the cheerful and able presidency of Mr. N. H. Foxcroft, the Pacific Islands Society of Syd ney has taken on a fresh lease of life. Membership now totals 143, which is about twice what it was a few years ago when, for a while, it seemed as though the old-estab lished society might fade right out.
At the annual general meeting on February 26, Mr. Foxcroft was re elected president by unanimous vote.
Although he still has a long way to go before he equals the term in office of his wife as president of the New Guinea Women’s Club, he looks set for quite a long stay as guiding hand of the Society.
Other office-bearers elected on February 26 were; Vice-presidents; Dr. G. R.
Mackaness, OBE, MA; Messrs. N. B.
Casey, MBE; L. A. R. Howell; H.
Sabben, OBE; and A, E. Stephen.
Hon. Secretary-Treasurer; Miss M. M. McGann.
Assistant Secretary-Treasurer; Miss D. Peters.
Council: Mesdames N. H. Fox croft, J. Sylvester-Jones, H. Sabben, N. B. Wight, Messrs. R. J. Christof fersen, F. Kennedy and T. Wignall.
