SCHOOL BALL.

AN OUTSTANDING SUCCESS.

(“Times-Age” Special.)'

The annual plain and fancy dress children’s ball held in the King’s Theatre, last evening, was an outstanding success from all points of view. The children’s part of the programme was a pleasing one. It was a wonderful sight to the crowded gallery and stage onlookers to see the little tots go through the grand march and other dances taught them with great patience and skill by their teachers. The fancy dresses worn by the children were a revelation. The children’s ball room was a glorious sight to behold. At the conclusion of the children’s part of the programme the little children were entertained at supper provided by the parents. The music, for the children’s dances was played on a wireless gramophone, installed by Mr C. K. Goodin, a member of the committee. The headmaster and his staff are to be complimented upon the great success of the ball, and the financial result. At the conclusion of the children’s part in the programme the adults occupied the dance floor and spent a pleasant time to music supplied by Tom Udy’s band.
