POPULAR DANCE

Scots College Parents'

Association

Such is the popularity of the annual dances given by the Scots College Parents’ Association that each year it is felt that the next dance cannot be more successful than the last. This year’s dance, held on Saturday, exceeded all expectations, however, and reached such a peak of excellence that the parents feel they can ask for nothing better than the continuation of such a standard.

The attendance was'splendid, and representative of parents, old boys, masters, of the college, and present pupils, in addition to many friends. The president of the parents’ association, Mr. Eoin Fraser, and Mrs. Fraser, were host and hostess. Mrs. Fraser wore a charming while gown with a gaily patterned bolero jacket. The college colours of red and grey predominated in the gymnasium, where the dance was held, and the long room was completely transformed by the' elaborate decorations. Coloured bunting concealed the ceiling, abundant greenery hid the white walls, and huge bowls of Cellophane flowers in the college colours gave the place a tropic atmosphere. The college flag held pride of place behind the orchestra, which kept everybody “on their toes” all night.

High lights of the dance were a number of exhibition dances given by Mr. and Mrs. R. Buckleton, and Mr. J. James and partner.

The home-made supper is always one of the most enjoyable features of these dances, and this year's repast was again provided by the parents. Executive members of the parents’ association who were present included the vice-president, Mr. C. Awdry, and Mrs. Awdry, and Mr. and Mrs. R. Buckleton, Mrs. D. Paterson, Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Fanselow, Mr. and Mrs. 11. Edwards, Mrs. W. Burton, Mr. and Mrs. D. Richmond, Mr. and Mrs. G. Frood, Mr. and Mrs. McDonald. i Mr. K.

Mrs. Violet VVukeMii, organizing Secretary of the Wellington province, expressed her gratitude not only for the good attendance, but also for the presence of the three ministers of the various denominations, whose support is most valuable. Mrs. Wakelin, in her address on the society’s work overseas, stressed the importance and value of t;he work of the native' colporteurs who, in spite of the turmoil of present-day conditions, continue their efforts to distribute the Word of God even in war-torn countries. The example set by these men should certainly be an encouragement to all those whose work-is carried on in safety in civilized countries. Details of a scheme for the support ot 50 colporteurs by people resident in New Zealand were given, and it Is hoped that some Levin people will interest themselves in this pLOjeet. After Mrs. Wakelin had thanked all workers for past efforts and bad ex-, horted them to further endeavours, the benediction was pronounced and afternoon tea was served. KNITTING BOOK OF MEN’S WEAR.
