LAW STUDENTS’ BALL

A large cartoon of a genial looking judge, bearing the title “Welcome to This Court of Extraordinary Jurisdiction,” placed in the entrance hall at the Winter Garden greeted about 500 guests last evening at the annual ball of the Canterbury University College Law Students’ Society. Humorous drawings of topical interest decorated many of the alcoves in the ballroom. The floral decorations of chrysanthemums, berry shrubs and greenery were a credit to the committee.
