Dancing took place in the sitting-room, which was cleared for the occasion, dance music being kindly supplied by Mr J. R. Noonan, and a verv enjoyable supper was dispensed in the diningroom which was tastefully decorated and made cheery with a bright open fire. Quite a number of friends were present from Awaroa and Waiharakeke, also Te Kuiti and Pio Pio. Some of those present were :—Miss Cavers who wore a pretty biscuit coloured poplin (hand embroidered) ; Mrs Noonan, navy velvet relieved with creme lace ; Miss Berntsen, pretty floral voile ; Miss H. Parkinson, cream crepe de chene and Brussels net; Miss E. Franklin, pale blue crepe de chene ; Miss Cowern, dainty cream net blouse and dark skirt ; Miss M.

Cavers, also Miss Cavers, while several select violin solos played by Mr D. Noonan and Miss pavers (Miss M. Cowern accompanying piano) were much appreciated. Dancing, card-playing and games were kept going until quite late, when a very successful evening was brought to a close by everyone joining in and singing" Auld Lang Syne.”
