A NIGHT OF REVELRY.

OTANE SCHOOL CHILDREN S BALL. A JOYOUS GATHERING. The Otane School children’s annual fancy dress ball took place in the Town Hall on Friday night, and was again an outstanding success. The work of the parents and the School Committee in preparing for this event is truly a labor of love amply rewarded. fhe hall was filled with happy children, practically all in fancy dress, and the various dances and games which were performed to a singing accompaniment showed very careful training by the school staff. An ample supper was provided by the parents and arranged by the committee, and thanks are again due to Mrs G. Collins for providing the music. As evidencing the interest taken in the gathering, there were quite a number of adults in fancy dress, particularly noticeable being a pair of gigantic Mexicans and our old friend Charlie Chaplin.
