OARSMEN AS HOSTS
STAR BOATING CLUB DANCE
One of the most successful dances of the week was given by the young men of the Star Boating Club at their club in Jervois Quay on Saturday night. Bunting had been used on a lavish scale to decorate the locker-room, which was used as a rendezvous between dances as well as for accommodating all the guests who crowded in for the | buffet supper, and masculine artistry I was also evident in the arrangement i of greenery, which was massed behind crossed oars at one end of the dance | room. Bamboo arranged as a canopy | over the main doorway of the shed j and up the railing of the staircase lead- j ing to the rooms which had been opened for the dance, gave refreshing atmosphere to the club. Members of the committee made excellent hosts, and throughout the evening solicitously looked after the welfare of their guests. They were , Messrs. Jock Thodey, Stewart Sidford, 'Geoffrey Broad, Athol Lawson, Ken Frazer, and Richard Burge.
