A last minute invitation saw me turning up at the yr11 Deb Ball. And what a night it was.
Approximately 30 beautiful couples dancing on the floor to music of the decade. The boys looks very refined and the girls looked like beautiful ladies.
I couldn’t believe how much they had grown, since the first day Miss Fogarty and I had set eyes on them in the year 7 Annex. In particular the girls looked years above their age. Their dresses were beautiful. Each had it’s own flavor and style that reflected the personality of it’s owner.
As the dancing begins, and the audience of parents, friends and teachers are captivated by the choreography. Smiles on the students, glistened from the floor. Flashes and tears from the parents at the realization that their children were well on their way to becoming young adults.
At the conclusion of the choreographed pieces, students were asked to find a person to dance with. Disappointed by the passing of a few students, I stayed in my chair. Apparently they ‘had’ to ask their Mums first.
It wasn’t long before the band was playing and I was dragged to the dance floor. Surrounded by white dresses and free flowing spirits, we were able ‘bust a move’.
I stayed till the end, walking out of the door with Mr. Manks. And watched the last couple of tired faces file into their cars. I had a great time and was glad I got the opportunity to attend.
See you soon. Miss Hall
