White, K. Holdsworth, M. Barker, M. East, D. Carson, and members of the college teaching staff; lion, secretary, Joyce Myers; hon. treasurer, Mary Machell; committee, Joyce and Janet Mitchell, D. Barr. D. Cunningham, G. Lister, D. Franklin, B. Lamb, J. Duff, 0. Smith, D. Murray and M. Stone. After the meeting games and competitions were entered into with great zest, and a one-act play, “The Spinsters of Lush,” was presented by members of the dramatic club and much enjoyed. Charming bouquets were presented by the committee to Mrs. Holdsworth and Miss Batham, as patron and president respectively of the association. Later in the evening everyone went upstairs to the spacious cookery room for a sit-down supper. The long tables looked very attractive, decorated with gold streamers —that, with black, being the college colours—and goldshaded flowers mingled with maidenhair fern. A very happy reunion was brought to a close with the singing of “Auld Lang Syne.”
