| Description | This programme states that the Old North Londoners' celebratory dinner was held on 1st April 1950 at the Waldorf Hotel, Aldwych. The Old North Londoners' Association was formed of past pupils of the North London Collegiate School. The programme includes details about the menu and toasts given at the dinner.
The menu, written in French, included fish in a creamy cheese sauce on a bed of spinach, chicken fried with French beans and olives, creamed potatoes, buttered peas and brandied pears with ice cream and wafers.
The programme reveals that Elizabeth Taylor Cadbury accepted Dr. Kitty Anderson's invitation to attend the dinner and delivered the first toast entitled 'The school in the time of Frances Mary Buss'. Three further toasts commemorated the leaders of the school who succeeded Miss Buss, including Dr. Anderson who was headmistress at the time of the centenary celebrations.
A short programme of music was also performed during the evening. |
