A new trophy was also presented for the first time this year. The Dalbeattie Primary School History Prize which has been donated by Dalbeattie Museum was presented to Jamie Laurie for his outstanding interest in this local history project about the Titanic. The trophy was presented by Mr Tommy Henderson and Mr Donald Henderson made a very fitting speech about Murdoch being a former pupil of the school and how poignant it was that this cup was being presented for the first time in the old school and next year it will be presented again for the first time in the new school.
