PREFECTS’ ANNUAL DANCE OUTSTANDING Sl i t ESS A charmingly decorated hall welcomed those who attended the annual Prefects’ Daiice which was held last night. All arrangements for the function were in the hands of the prefects on whom is reflected great credit for the outstanding success which resulted. Members of committees with considerable experience in organising social functions realise the work and responsibility entailed and the manner in which this youthful committee conducted the dance is really worthy of comment. Greenery and colourful streamers decorated the hall, while replicas of the school badge and a huge prefects’ badge adorned the walls. The school motto held a prominent position. There was a very large attendance and the decorations were a fitting background for the many beautiful frocks worn by the dancers. Guests were given a warm welcome by the girl prefects wli 0 acted: as hostesses and met the guests upon arrival.
