The Nurses' Ball
Nelson Hospital nurses discarded their uniforms in favour of the more colourful ball gowns and had a night out at the annual nurses' ball. Twenty-two finalists were presented to Miss Rachael Simpson, New Zealand Commandant of the Voluntary Aids Division of the Red Cross. (Pix by Peter Cooper Studio).
