FANCY DRESS BALL.

SUCCESSFUL EVENING SPENT.

HILLCREST SCHOOL FUNCTION. I Gaily coloured streamers of blue and gold, the school’s colours, formed a 'fitting setting for the vivid costumes of the children of the Hillcrest School at their annual plain and fancy dress ball held in Pearson’s Hall on Friday evening. There was a very large attendance of children and parents and friends and a very happy spirit prevailed throughout the evening. The hall had been beautifully deoorated the word “Hillcrest” in blue and gold appearing above the stage which was massed with greenery, ferns and mimosa boughs, and jonquils and pink spring blossom. To the Headmaster, Mr Sealy, and tho school staff the greatest credit is due for the splendid performances of the children in the choral items, folk dances and singing games, which were delightfully performed. Miss N. Wilkie, of the school staff, was at the piano for the childrens programme, and later 'excellent music was played by the Radio 'Dance Band. A tribute is due to the energetic ladies’ committee who had worked enthusiastically towards the success of the function, and by whom a delicious supper was served. During the evening the chairman of the School 'Committee. Mr J. H. Edgecumbe, spoke thanking the parents and those present for their support of the function, and remarking the credit due to the Headmaster and staff for the excellent organisation which had made the evening such a success.
