or SCHOOL’S annual ball was held in the Ambassado BEAUX ARTS BALL one evening last October. For some days previous to f great event, all our students were helping with the lavi decorations, and a spirit of great enthusiasm prevailed. When f# much anticipated evening arrived, the Ambassador had been tran formed into a Chinese street en fete. The overhanging balcony su ported brilliantly coloured Chinese banners, and huge sacred fi hung from long bamboo poles. The orchestra was housed in a lat pagoda, presided over by an awesome bronze Buddha. Supper was served in the upstairs room, the wall of which was bl with Chinese posters simulating pictures and tapestries. By arran ing to accommodate the guests in relays, overcrowding was avoid and dancing was carried on during the entire evening. During 4 intermission a very effective lantern dance was performed by a chort of students, who wore many coloured Chinese costumes and Chine hats. 4 The Ball Committee was headed by Miss Frances Gatewood; Mi Katherine Harrison, Refreshments; Miss Margaret Williams, Deco ations; and Miss Dorothy Tisdall, business arrangements. 4 MADGE FARMER.
