DEANS MARSH [from the Geelong Advertiser2 July 1924]
Arbor Day was celebrated at the local State School on Friday last, when the scholars planted 25 trees in the Soldiers' Memorial Park, and 25 on the road between the store and the station. After reassembling at the school and Arbor Day songs sung and an address given by Mr Munro. the head teacher, afternoon tea was handed around by the parents and a very happy time was spent by all.
