WAITANGURU

The wind-up dance of the hall winter evenings came off quite successfully on Thursday evening. The hall was not so well packed but comfortable for dancing. Music was supplied by Miss Hogan, piano, and Mr. Timbers, saxophone. Extras were played by Miss Bilton, Mr. A. Peterson and Mr. Andresen. Encores were called for time and again and graciously given. The near-by blocks were well represented. Mr. Frederikson was M.C. A special committee was responsible for the supper arrangements. The ladies being the guests of the evening, were waited upon, much to their satisfaction, and is a change from the ordinary routine. Mostly ankle length evening frocks of dainty colouring were worn and worthy of note. I think the honour goes to Miss Georgina Olliver as belle of the ball. During the

evening* Mr. Frederikson handed out the prizes won on the previous evening* at ”500.” He also announced the football dance to be held on 13th October. This promises to outdo everything*, as good old Mangaotaki do not do things by halves and visitors will be welcomed from far and near. Mrs. Coates is to bring out her troupe in the “Magic Wood” cantata on October 28th. This staging of juveniles will be worth going a long way to see and hear. In the interests of the English Church funds, etc., there will be a children’s plain and fancy dress dance held on November 4. In voicing this function ahead, gives those interested time to get the children’s fancy dresses made. Competitions and fancy dancing will be on the programme. Prizes are donated for best dresses, etc., and the committee will provide supper. Children’s fancy dress affairs tend to socialise the self-conscious and shy child. We hope to see every child of the block holding their own in fancy costume. We hear of some very promising caricatures, and small heads are full of “secrets” to surprise the adults of the evening’s adventure. Ngaruahoe has been showing quite a good stream of smoke recently.
