Preparations continue for the College Jubilee celebrations to be held in Easter 2010. The Jubilee Committee is planning themed photographic displays with one of the themes being Dances and Balls. There are very few photos in the School archives prior to the 1980s. We would love to have photos of the actual dances and balls or even photos of participants at home dressed up before they leave, so we can show the fashions through time. If you have such photos and are willing to have these scanned and displayed at the Jubilee, please contact the School office on 376 8344.
Dig out those old school Ball or Dance photos and let us know. This one is from around 1990 Keep the registrations for the Easter Jubilee 2010 coming in. For further information on this column or about Tararua College events including our 50th Jubilee in Easter 2010, please contacting the School office, email Mr. Mcknight at the College.
