The last two school dances have both been most successful. Each year they have been managed mainly by the graduating class and arrangements have been most carefully made and well worked out. The Dance of 1911 was held in the latter part of january. The old gymnasium, now tl1e school room, was used for a dancing floor, and the whole room was attractively decorated. From the ceiling there were hung four strings of red, white and blue electric lights, covered with laurel leaves, and the walls were covered with St. Geor.ge's banners of various kinds and sizes. The lights were covered with paper and the stage was screened off from view with palms, behind which the orchestra played. Unfortunately the weather was inclement, but this did not detract from the enjoyment of the evening. The dance began at eight-thirty, and supper in King Hall was served about ten-thirty. Then followed the cotillon, tl1e most enjoyable of the dances, and after this more waltzes and two-steps, which stopped about one o'clock. In 1912 a change was made and the dance was held in King Hall. This arrangement proved very satisfactory and attractive. The floor, being larger, was better than the one formerly used and there was also more seating space for the dancers. As the last year, the dance took place towards the end of january. King Hall was decorated for the event with banners and the cloister leading to it was hung with rows of japanese lanterns. The guests arrived during the afternoon and a good many were at supper. The dance began at about half past eight and soon everything was in full swing. About ten o'clock the usual supper march was formed. This took the guests over a large part of the old school building. While it was going on the tables were set for supper in King Hall, each of the smaller ones being lighted by candles. Then, after the supper was over, the cotillon began. This proved to.be, as usual, one of the most enjoyable of the dances. After it followed more waltzes and two steps, until, finally, much to everyone's regret, the evening came to a close a short time after one o'clock. A little later the school dance of 1912 had passed into history as one of the best we have had in many years. ' 50
