Mazengarb, president of the Queen Margaret Parents' Association, and Mrs. Mazengarb, gave a small dinner party at the Hotel Waterloo in honour of their daughter, Miss Dawn Mazengarb, who made her debut. A flat bowl of roses centred the round table at which the guests sat, and wishbones tied in the college colours, blue and gold, were set at each place.

Mr. and Mrs. A. P. Bennett gave a cocktail party for their daughter, Miss Rachael Bennett, who was wearing her crinolined debutante gown. A number of their friends gathered in the Hotel Waterloo before the ball, those present being Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Miles,' the Misses Barbara Olphert, Carol Coyle, Lola Benge, Molly.

John Olphert, Peter Picot, Norman Johnston, Brian Smith, Jim Bligh, Hugh FraserTytler, Ivan Appefley, Richard Spooner and Arthur Harpur. '
