Objects of Substance- Shall We Dance- Year 12 Formal

1930 Sylvie Acton, no doubt, was more formally attired for the Sixth Form Annual Dance.

One of our earliest references to the precursor of the Formal was an article in the Brisbane Courier dated 10 October, 1908 where “Miss Wilkinson, head mistress of the Brisbane Girls Grammar School gave her pupils a most enjoyable dance last evening at the school.” Classrooms were converted into ballrooms lavishly decorated with ropes of flowers and greenery and handsome palms with Rylatt’s Orchestra providing live music.
