ARAMOHO SCHOOL

FANCY DRESS BALL SUCCESSFUL ANNUAL FUNCTION. A lengthy programme of folk dances interspersed with round dances, was a feature of tho anual fancy dress ball of the Aramoho School, which was held in the Aramoho Boating Club Hall last Thursday evening. The gracefullness and ease with which the dances were performed by the children reflected credit upon the members of the staff who trained them and gained many complimentary remarks from the spectators. Tho programme was enjoyed by young and old and the hall was filled to capacity. Mr. A. E. Halligan, chairman of the School -Committee, welcomed the parents and explained what difficulties school committees had to overcome in financing school affairs, laying stress upon the fact that in this district no direct levy was made upon the parents for dental clinic funds, it being raised by school functions such as that evening. He therefore urged parents to continue their loyal support by their presence on such occasions. Air. W. A. Veitch also spoke com plimenting those concerned on the excellence of the programme, and the school committee on tho splendid order of the school environs. Air. Halligan extended thanks to the two judges, Mrs. W. A. Veitch, and Airs. \V. J. Stone, and complimented them on the manner in which they had performed their difficult task. He also thanked the ladies who had successfully attended to the formidable task of “feeding the multitude.” The children’s portion of the programme was followed by a successful dance for adults, the music being supplied by Afisses Benefield and Nicholls.
