DELIGHTFUL FUNCTION.

HILDREN’S FANCY HALF

A charming function took place in the Aka Aka Hall ,on Friday evening, fiie occasion being a children's fancy dress ball. It proved a great attraction, the hall being crowded to the outer doors. About 80 children were in fancy dress. In assembly and in their dances, for which they had been

ably trained by Mr P. Donnelly, these young folk made a fascinating picture, in which chicness and the sweetness of joyous childhood were the outstanding feature. The decorations executed by Messrs Donnelly and Blake, and helpers, provided overhead a canopy o.f bright paper streamers (‘entering on a large .streamer bell, against a background of greenery offset by white lilies, the latter combination being the wall decorations. In these settings, with Mr P. Harvey and Miss Hughes carrying out the duties of M.G.’s, and .Mr Donnelly at tin? piano, tiie children went through a dance programme lasting till about 10 p.rn. Waltzs, polkas, schottisches. etc. were included and provided a varied and delightful range of dances very prettily executed. Competition dances included wen? won as follows: Balloon dance, Douglas Sinclair and Doris McNamara: spot dance, Scagar Potter and Sfancy McLaren (seniors); Archie Hiseock and. Dorothy Parton ( juniors). Prizes provided for these events were presented to the winners by the M.C.

At. 10 o’clock 'supper was served by the ladies, after which' the lloor was given over to the, adults for dancing. The occasion was a, great. success, for which chief credit is due to Messrs Donnelly, Blake and Harvey, Mesdamos Flexman and Medwiri, and Miss Hughes, while others also assisted materially.

The nett proceeds amounted to about. £lO. which, together with a similar amount raised by the picture entertainment some evenings ago, goes to constitute a school improvement fund. With an expected £ for £ subsidy from the Government, this fund will then stand at about £4O. and it is proposed to purchase out of it school library books, a granlaphone, and suitable pictures for the school walls.
