Block while min pelted down hollforloathor from about six a.m* onwards* :U IT woe a good dance. Harry Stringer mu do a good man in charge of corumonito; the Si store who prepared tho supper in tho afternoon may enjoy the satisfaction of knowing that they x .made the host supper we have have / had on the Island. Egg, bananas, choec and cucumber sandwiches disappeared with a speed that spoke of quality, and the oyster patties turned on by cur cocks were equally popular* It would not be out of place to say,after what will be our last dance in ths Dumbos Valley, that our cooks have, on ovary occasion on which we have called on them, come cut tops JI Music from 7th«' Mbb, Naval (U.S) band and the well do rated hall of Borey Kenna and his assistants, made most of us forget wo wore in a yaaific £aradios ( Except perhaps those who were popping out to tho Cubby Holos, on which Snooper ‘ scorns to write with authority. But • don’t take him too seriously. His. “ bunshihe ” was not present * something he conveniently forgets to mention. Ihybe he was looking for her in the Cubby Holo ) i«:i AFTER supper , Major 'St Blacker, 00 of Works Coy., oxgrcsaod Ids thanks to Col. 3.G. Beyors for the use of the I.D.

But by and largo'’she was a good show S • On behalf of the Committee wish to thank S/Sgt. Jack Matheson and Sgt# Bator Wingfield for setting up tho supper tables, organising the supper,end ft r what was an extremely unpleaonl task* washing all tho. dishes by ; candlelight ( that wculdn*t stay lit ) .in the rain after the dance* • Welsh Tea ” was well up to standard and was highly commented upon by one of the chic Brunch girls who moat surely would have given Tea Expert George a H Ct mo Bi the look “ had ho been handy.
