Wine Casks Along Route To Law Ball
Wine was the theme of the decorations for the Law ball put on by the Law Students’ Society of the University of Canterbury at the Winter Garden last evening.
The foyer and lounge were decorated with wine casks, large and small bottles of wine, and a huge bunch of grapes made from balloons, intertwined with vines. In the ballroom bunches of grapes over six feet high, wine casks, huge grape leaves, and trailing vines surrounded the alcoves. From the ceiling hung a cluster of grapes, leaves and vines.
