Prettiest, Nora Old (Spanish Dancer) and Billie Pratt (Arabian Prince). A list of juniors in costume is as follows: Eric Richardson, a dunce; Margery Croasdale, chip of the old block; Billy Pratt, Mustard . Club member; Doris Penny, danger isignal; Daphne Harford, jester; Winifred Aldridge, Little Lord Fauntleroy; J.
