BALL A BRILLIANT SUCCESS The R.S.A. Ball was, as always, a ihuge success, attended by an enormous crow-d of dancers. Mr J. Bowlands acted as Master of Ceremonies, and with the two Qrchestras — Mrs Mika's and Mac Habib's, presented a wonderful evening's entertainment. The supper plans were ably carried out by a very energetic Social Committee and helpers. Providing supper for such a large number was a formidable task, and necessitated five sittings, but all of this was clieerfully coped with. The hall was colourfully decorated with multi-coloured and silver streamers combined with greenery and another stage had been erected for the second orchestra. The R.S.A. richly deserve any jffnancial gain they derive from the .Ball because of the plannmg and work which made the evening such a success.
