BREAK-UP PARTY

Miss Waugh’s Pupils Give Dance Recital. The pupils of the Misses Waugh gave an enjoyable pianoforte and dance recital in the Winter Garden. A large and appreciative audience of parents and friends was entertained with a varied programme showing the results of careful, painstaking tuition. Pianoforte solos, duets, trios, Highland and Irish reels, clog, operatic, barefoot, character, step, tap, skipping dances, and some attractive ballets were included. At the close of the recital many beautiful bouquets and boxes of chocolates were presented. During the evening Mr R. Joe made a presentation of a cup and medal given by Mr T. Stace, of Auckland, to the dancer gaining the most first prizes in national dancing throughout the year 1932. The winner of the Cup was Miss Betty Carnochan, with twenty first prizes, and the runner-up was Miss Jean M’Lachlan, with seventeen first prizes. Mr Joe congratulated these young ladies on their meritorious efforts.
