Grammar School Diamond Jubilee is Celebrated

Annual Function is Brilliantly Successful

DECORATIONS OF BLUE AND GOLD

Old Boys and Old Girls foregathered in throngs at Scots Hall last evening, when a most successful bail was held to celebrate the Auckland Grammar School diamond jubilee.

Blue and gold, the Grammar School colours, were deftly* employed in an elaborate decorative scheme. Fronting the stage, was a large shield with the lion emblazoned, held in place by blue and gold streamers, while smaller shields and devices with their sig-* niticant motto occupied conspicuous positions in an ornate plan. Xovelties in lighting effects enhanced the beauty of lovely frocks. The progress of time in a period of sixty years was indicated by gold numbers over each doorway, denoting every decade. Beautiful spring flowers irises, wattle, daffodils, and jonquils—made the stage a bower of beauty*, and in the supper-room they were also massed in fragrant abundance. the school colours again predominating in effec-

tive manner. During the evening an exhibition of j the Quick Step and new Waltz was | given by Air. F. Easson and Aliss Joan Alorris, pupils of Alisses Alargaret and Kathleen O’Connor.
