1400 AT JUBILEE COCKTAIL EVENING

Cowles Stadium, decorated tn the school colours of blue and white, was the scene of the St. Andrew’s College jubilee cocktail evening which was attended by 1400 guests last evening. Blue and white banner muslin streamers radiating out in all directions from a point on the ceiling provided an appropriate atmosphere for the informal get-together of the old boys, past and present parents, and friends of the college. Massed arrangements of summer flowers and hydrangeas in the shape of spheres were grouped on the walls and round the room. Pot plants and shrubs completed the decorations. Guests were received by the official hostesses, Mesdarnes J. S. Callaway, K. Anderson, B. Moore and L. Maginness. They included the rector of St. Andrew’s College, Mr I.

T. Galloway, and Mrs Galloway: the patron of the Old Boys’ Association, Mr M. C. W. Stewart, and Mrs Stewart: the president of the association, Mr G. A.
