OLD GIRLS' BALL

EPSOM GRAMMAR SCHOOL

A COLOURFUL SCENE

MANY GUESTS PRESENT

Lions rampant on every cubicle, larger ones on the orchestral dais and blue and gold streamers shrouding the pillars of the Peter Pan Cabaret last night, proclaimed the fact that the annual ball of the Epsom Grammar Old Girls' Association was being held. Adding further colour to the scene were bunches of multi-coloured balloons, which-hung from the ceiling and were released among the dancers later in the evening. Featured on the tables in the supper room were vases of huge blue and gold crepe-paper flowers, whilg conforming more to Nature were bowls of early jonquils and feathery wattle. Runners of blue and gold also adorned the long tables.
