FANCY DRESS BALL CHILDREN’S NIGHT OUT (From the “Chronicle’s” Special Correspondent.) From the point of view of brilliance, the Children’s Annual Fancy Dress Ball invariably eclipses any function held in the district, and the event of 1925, which took place on Friday evening, was in every sense of the term well up to standard. I A large number of children appeared i in all manner of striking costumes. Th.'re were representatives of all nations and al! ages, dresses of topical interest, while cricketers, tennis players, and footballers were conspicuous among the throng of enthusiastic juveniles. A feature of the evening was the grand march, which was headed by .Master Arthur O’Brien and Alargaret Moir. This young couple imparted a marked degree of dignity and grace into their performance, and the manner in which they executed the various “movements” evoked the plaudits of those privileged to witness the tpectacle. After the march the children had the time of their lives, they being given sole possession of the floor until 10 ! o’clock when they did full justice to a [bountiful supper provided by the ladies. [ Special praise is duo to the following i teachers who undertook the all-import-I ant, task of training the children: —Air .E. L. Ironmonger (headmaster), Aliss • Lane, .Miss Davey, Aliss Edwards and Miss White. Supper arrangements were in the capi able hands of Aliss Green, who received • able assistance from Mrs Stringer ! Misses Powell. Howie (2), Adkins, i Lourio (2), Watt, R. Green, Chisholm, j Butemeiit, Hammoml and Earle.
