BEAUX ARTS BALL

one evening last October. For some days previous to

great event, all our students were helping with the lavis
decorations, and a spirit of great enthusiasm prevailed. When
much anticipated evening arrived, the Ambassador had been tran:
formed into a Chinese street en fete. The overhanging balcony sw
ported brilliantly coloured Chinese banners, and huge sacred fis
hung from long bamboo poles. The orchestra was housed in a larg
pagoda, presided over by an awesome bronze Buddha.
Supper was served in the upstairs room, the wall of which was hur
with Chinese posters simulating pictures and tapestries. By arra t
ing to accommodate the guests in relays, overcrowding was avoide
and dancing was carried on during the entire evening. During a
intermission a very effective lantern dance was performed by a chort
of students, who wore many coloured Chinese costumes and Chine
hats.
The Ball Committee was headed by Miss Frances Gatewood: Mi
Katherine Harrison, Refreshments; Miss Margaret Williams, Deco
ations; and Miss Dorothy Tisdall, business arrangements.

A POTTER’S DIRGE

Drip, drip drip,

From the bag to the pail, Oh! Slip.

Ah! The words that my tongue would utter
If this bag full of slip should rip!
