from Port Pirie "Recorder", 7 December 1931
     Mr. Murray David Haines, the second son of Mr. T. D. Haines, of Napperby, who was a student at the Adelaide High School, was successful in winning the Peake bursary at the annual examinations. This entitles the winner to four years at the University, and he has now entered the Teachers' Training College.
     Mr. Haines is thus following up earlier successes for previously in the Q.C. examination at Napperby in 1924 he won a bursary. Two years later at the Port Pirie High School he won another bursary on the intermediate examination. For the last two years he has attended the Adelaide High School, also winning the Peake bursary mentioned above.
     As this brilliant student is only eighteen and a half years of age, his future scholastic career will be watched with interest by the people of this district.²
