Besides the foregoing he passed two exams in typewriting which is taken at the Hamilton E.S. as an extra subject. Jack Hughes is now employed as a clerk at the BHP Steel Works. He also takes a keen interest in sport, is a good swimmer and plays both tennis and football." He was presented with a certificate and a gold medal by the "ex-mayor of Hamilton". |
