Buckland
Fancy Dress Dance
A Successful Event
The fancy dress dance, held at the School on Friday evening last, was quite a success, and the organisers and workers are to be congratulated on the financial result, i.e., £8.
The event was in aid of the Women's Institute Funds, and there was a croweded attendance, a large number being attired in fancy dresses. The judges were Mr and Mrs F.B. Cannon, of Hyde Hall, and they had a difficult task to fulfil.
After much deliberation the judges awarded prizes to the following: Miss L. Hurry (Indian Prince), Mrs F. Pigg (Hawker), Mrs R. Stoten (Japanese Costume), Miss R. Beale (Uncle Sam), Miss ____ (Welsh Girl), Miss M. Pigg (Chrysanthemum), Miss E. Whitby (Cigar), Mrs S. Jarman (Ryder's Seeds), and Mr R. Jackson (Tramp).
The prizes were won in the various classes. Miss P. Morris, who very effectively represented a Post Office clearing box, passed on her prize.
The fancy and other dresses mingling for the dancing which followed presented a very striking scene. The Standon Orchestra provided an excellent programme of music, and when the party dispersed it was unanimously agreed that the event was one of the best of its kind held in Buckland.
Mention should be made of the Institute Committee, who were in charge of the refreshments, which gave satisfaction. As stated, the proceeds exceeded £8.
