HARRIER CLUB DANCE

Wind-up to the Season

Ab a wind-up to a most successful season the Hastings Harrier dub held a very jolly dance and presentation evening in the Band Boom last night, when the club officers and officials and ladies’ committee were the guests of the evening. The hall was gaily decorated with hanging streamers in the club’s colours, black and white. The evening was spent in dancing to music played by Mr. Gordon Bedward and several excellent items were also given. Guitar solos were played by Mr. Henry Marshall and a humorous recitation given by Miss Constance Dewson. Miss Enid Lusher later played two flute solos. The accompaniments were played by Miss Margaret Millson. Violin solos were given by Mr. H. Norton accompanied by Miss Florence Parkinson and all the items were very much enjoyed. An energetic men’s committee were in charge of the arrangements for the evening and all did good work and made the function a splendid success. The members of the committee were: Messrs. W.
