TARADALE SCHOOLS

FANCY DRESS BALL

High carnival prevailed at the Taradale Town Hall on Friday night, when the Taradale and Greenmeadows Public Schools held their annual fancy dreaa ball. That the children had entered very heartily into the spirit of the occasion was evident from the fact that the hall was crowded with a merry throng, nearly 400 donning fancy costume. » The children occupied the floor from 7.30 till 10 p.m., during which they revelled in a round of folk dances, in which they had been very capably trained by the teaching staff and which afforded much enjoyment to a largo gathering of parents and friends. The programme was as follows:— Grand March, seniors; “I See You” (dance), juniors; Selenger’s round, seniors; cobblers dance, juniors; “XT AIL the World Were Paper,” seniors; “Posh the Business On,” juniors; polka, all; .grand march, juniors; “Gathering Peapods,” seniors; ribbon dance.

At 10 p.m. a large company of adults took the floor and- enjoyed a pleasant two hojirs’ old-time dancing, music for which was supplied by Mr and Mrs M. King and Miss Z. Hunt. Mr T. B. McDonald acted as M.C. A bounteous supper was served by the ladies’ committee, the tables being very tastefully arranged with spring flower*.
