After tho children occupied the dance floor until 5.30 they went through the grand march and filed in to supper which had been prepared by the committeemen and their wives and the floor was then given over to the adults, who danced to excellent music supplied by Mrs Merriman, Messrs J. McMahon, J. Coilis, G. Merriman, L. Wilson .and N. Greer, until a late hour. Mr T. Lynch thanked the teachers for the excellent display tho children made and also their parents for these efforts in turning the children out so charmingly attired. Those responsible for tho supper arrangements were Mesdames C. Terry, Iv. White, A. Batchelar, E. Crawford, R. Beckett and T. Lynch. Tho function was a huge success both socially and financially and the teachers are to be congratulated on their untiring efforts. Amongst those present were Miss M. Blake and Mr Clive Nolan, both ex-teachers of the school, and it is very pleasing to see tha.. they still take a kindly interest in the school affairs. Local people who attended the Basketball Association’s first annual dinner, held in the city were Misses E. Currin, B. Currin, M. Carr, V. Sutherland, L. Irvine, N. Lynch, L. Rix, and Messrs J. Irvine and J. Robertson. Several local folk turned out to see “Sally” on Saturday night, among those noticed being Mr and Mrs A. Batchelar, Mr and Mrs C. Terry, Mr and Mrs S. Irvine, Mr and Mi's Iv Russell, Mr and Mrs T. Lypch, Misses L. Irvine, A. and X. Russell, E. Currin and Mr W. Mills.
