BASTTI-T-E DAY - EVEhIING CELETRATIOhI Sonre can Can Caml The curtains parted, the time had come. Had we practised enough, were our costumes right, were we going to mess it up? Could a group of untrained volunteers carry offthe "big" one, whenjust a week before everyone was doing "their own thing" which was a totally unco-ordinated mess. Skirts were lifted high, legs exposed arid colours flashed across the stage, Everything was going smoothly until ... Di tripped and her feet slipped from under her and she landed bottom down and frills up on the stage. This rehearsed part ofthe act pleased the au- dience no end and was greeted with a volley of en- thusiastic applause. This applause was repeated when garters, streamers and flowers were thrown into the audience at the end of the act. After an encore or two, or three (on this subject our memory fails us) we all fell into an exhausted heap in the dressing room. Our act was undoubtedly the highlight of the evening . . . (Modesty prevents us from going on) Other activities following our act included a talent quest, a costume parade and a French quiz which was won by Sally-.trane Munro (fiom Gram- mar, of course) Diets were forgotten as people crammed gongeous French p6tisserie, including chocolate eclairs, rhum baba and things that looked like boston buns filled with custard and cream. The result was cream and chocolate icing spread from ear to ear on many faces. The evening was thoroughly enjoyed by all and we proved we can Can-Can. IV Form
