Schools Reunion Dance
Crowds of folk from all over the district turned up for the King’s College-Auckland Grammar Old Boys dance in the Parochial Hall last night, and, thanks to the organisers and their able committee, the evening went with a swing that could only spell success. The lion rampant and the maroon and gold badge of King’s College were predominantly displayed round the walls, whilst streamers of the two school colours were intermingled in the centre for the maypole.
