S A A [ A R A 23 Ballet The two visits of the Sadler ' s Wells have inspired many budding Elmwood Fonteyns. Maybe the fame is not there, but the en- thusiasm leaves little to be desired. Under the long distance direction of Mrs. Dailley (from Kingston) and the teaching of Erna Pilupe the classes are progressing. Leaders in this movement are Janet Lawson, Sheila McCor- mick and Catherine Hees. At the bazaar an excerpt from Les Sylphides was performed. In May, the annual per- formance was given, which was colourful and featured several promising soloists. The Hallowe ' en Party The most evil of nights was celebrated at Elmwood on a Friday night instead of a Tues- day so as to enable the ghosts and witches to stay out later to terrify the world, and sleep in the next morning. The Grand March was led by an ex- tremely ferocious dragon, whose feet mys- teriously resembled those of the staff, who were singing his praises from inside his stomach. Miss Typical Elmwoodian Jessop very bravely donned the royal Elmwood robes and recited a humourous but pointed poem. At the witching hour of eight o ' clock, two fugitives from Mrs. Graham ' s anatomy class, disguised as ghosts, passed bits of John Smith ' s body to a ring of people, seated in black darkness. After this gruelling display, we all switched to a lighter vein by playing musical bumps to the piano playing of Pat Knowlton. About eight-thirty everyone doffed her costume to eat hearti ly while some paid visits to a mysterious fortune-teller whose identity was known to few. Next on the list was a radio skit, complete with Twenty Ques- tions , by VA, and a sing-song by VI Upper and VI Matric, while Di Eraser and Norma Baird tap-danced. The evening ended with the presentation of prizes by Mrs. Buck, to the winners, among whom the most noted were Jennifer Woollcombe as Anne Boleyn; Diane Boyd, Leslie Jackson, Wendy Gilchrist and Suzette DeWolf as the four seasons; and Susanna Clarke as a ballerina. House Collections Three beautiful arrays of house collections brightened up three classrooms this year instead of one, as the year before. Everyone agreed with the judges Mrs. Frances Gill and Mrs. Buck, when Keller was picked as the winner, not only for its large collection of articles, old clothes and books, but also for the ingenious arrangement as the Caledonian Marketplace, with cardboard wheels to make the tables look like carts. Nightingale was judged second with a very artistically arranged collection. A close third was Fry, which displayed a great number of handi- crafts. The collections were later packed and sent to various charities. We were much pleased to hear a short time ago that the boxes sent to Miss Chappel in Japan had arrived safely. The Bazaar As I sat at the entrance, there was suddenly a host of people crowding in through the door, and I could hear them drop their money in the big, round, silver bowl on the entrance table. Then one lady came close enough for me to get on to the feather of her hat and I went merrily with her to the hall to see the plays and ballet which took place before the Bazaar. When she came back into the entrance hall, I got off and crawled along a little farther and found to my surprise the most gorgeous turkey, blanket, apples, ham, doll and a smart overnight bag, which I sup- posed were to be raffled. Then a rude little boy came and flicked me off the table just before I was going to have a bite at the turkey. Then to my amazement I heard a lady say Who painted this beautiful turkey? so then I knew it wasn ' t really real. As I crawled disappointedly away to the other side, I passed by a small room where a group of people had collected to buy books and stamps, but I didn ' t bother, but went to see the White Elephant table where there were
