The girls were only half of the fun; the boys, Dean GARLAND, Raymond BALL, Russell BOYD, Harold SMITH, Floyd BORRUSH, Donald GROUT were dressed as "little boys". Their trousers were turned wrong side out, the legs of the trousers were rolled up to their knees. These boys were made up to look like Indians.
