CATHOLIC BALL

SUCCESSFUL FUNCTION CAPACITY HALL AT NGATEA The Ngatea hall was filled to capacity recently for a ball which was organised by the Hauraki Plains Catholic Parish committee. Music for dancing was played by Herb Walker and his orchestra and was much enjoyed by dancers and Inon-dancers. Mr E. O’Carrol, of Kopuarahi, was M.C. The hall was beautifully decorated with streamers and greenery, while the stage looked very gay with Christmas decorations. A most sumptuous supper, all homemade, was served by the ladies.

Two Monte Carlos were won by Mr S. Clark and Miss P. Donaldson and Mr Jack Laurich and Shirley Ganley.

Those present included Mesdames E. and T. O’Carroll (Kopuarahi), D. Waite, A. Leonard, E, Jackson, H. Hayward, M. Fraser-Jones, E. Keane, J. Mangan, J.' Bowers, L. Bates and J.
