frolic which the. girls presented. At
s o'clock, to the weird strains of the
Campfire chant, Wohelo For Aye, play
ed by Miss Mieneke, the 125 girls
marched about the hall in their pretty
Indian costumes and were h seated
in a semi-circle Just in front Of the
stage. making a very effective scene.
The programme which followed was
q very pleasing one and much of it's
success is due Miss Louise Guernsey,

stunt. A sheet was hung with a staff
of music upon it n as they sang a

result brought forth much applause.
There was an intermiSsion in which
the girls sold ice cream one and
sandwiches and q social time
was enjoyed. The second part
of the programme was op-
