The school party took place on 19th December. We had tea in the dining hall at five o' clock.
After that there was dancing in the large playroom and games which were organised by Miss Lee in the little playroom. Some of the Preparatory children performed a fairy dance which was very pretty.
Then we assembled in the lecture hall to see a play called "The Pied Piper." It was acted by the Firsts and Lower Seconds and recited by Molly Flynn. We heard every word Molly said. The part of the Pied Piper himself was acted by Dorothy Holmes who was dressed half in red and half in yellow. The girls who played the mayor and the councillors acted splendidly.
After this play we returned to dancing or games as we pleased for another hour.
Again we assembled in the lecture hall to see a conjurer. He did some wonderful tricks with red and other coloured handkerchiefs but once we saw one of them peeping out of his pocket which caused a good many remarks from the audience.
At nine o' clock we returned home after thoroughly enjoying ourselves.
