GRAMMAR OLD GIRLS.

ENJOYABLE DANCE HELD.

A cheery informal dance organised by the Auckland Girls' Grammar School Old Girls' Association was held in the German Club rooms last evening. Streamers and balloons in the Grammar colours of blue and gold were suspended in a network from the ceiling, and large bowls of golden acacia and other spring flowers adorned the room. Grammar School pennants placed at strategic points about the room contributed to the atmosphere and spirited music for the dancing was rendered by the orchestra. One end of the room was set apart for cards, and at the end of the evening prizes were presented for the highest score to Miss M. J). Haresnape and Mr. Arthur Nicholson. The Monte Carlo was won by Miss Dot Tyler and Mr. Colin Gordon.
