Description

This image was taken for a story that ran in The Manawatu Evening Standard on 10 July, 1959. "This could well be the naughty nineties, but it is not. It is the fancy dress party held at the Girls' High School last night for the third and fourth forms. Only girls attended the party and shown above are two girls as they perform the Charleston in front of an appreciative audience." Another photo associated with this article was unpublished on the same day.

The two girls dancing have been identified as Heather Mence (left) and Jennifer Barnett (right).
