From this there were many red streamers joined to the sides of the gymnasium giving it a.ll quite a festive appearance. The decorating committee under Miss Adams, Miss Garbutt and Miss Corkery .deserves much credit for their work. Those receiving were Mr. and Mrs. Mac- Millian, Mr. and Mrs. McLean, Mr. and Mrs. Gregory, Kathleen Neil and Robert Gregory.
