      people
      who
      might
      have
      graduated
      from
     
     
      Prince
      of
      Wales
      College.
      Regardless
      of
      the
     
     
      age
      differences,
      it
      seemed
      that
      all
      had
      a
     
     
      great
      time
     
    

    
     
      The
      ‘irace
      Babies
      opened
      for
      TPOH
     
     
      to
      an
      enthus:astic
      crowd.
      Once
      they
      had
      the
     
     
      crowd
      warned
      up,
      the
      main
      act
      took
      the
     
     
      stage
      to
      great
      applause.
      The
      set
      started
     
     
      with
      newer
      songs
      trom
      the
      band,
      but
      as
      the
     
     
      night
      wore
      oii.
      they
      proceed
      into

      fans
      will
      rem-imber
      from
      the
      late
      eighties,
     
     
      like
      ‘I’m
      os:
      Adult
      Now.”’
     
    
   
   
    
     
      crowd,
      who
      had
      started
      the
      evening
      by
     
     
      gaping
      dumbly
      at
      the
      band,
      got
      into
      the
     
     
      spirit
      of
      things.
      The
      only
      possible
      fault
      in
     
     
      the
      evening
      was
      the
      long
      black-out
      be-
     
     
      tween
      songs,
      which
      dragged
      down
      the
     
     
      atmosphere.
      (That
      and
      the
      noxious
      sub-

      smoked
      on

      had
      to
      throw
      out
      a
      few
     
     
      rowdy
      audience
      members,
      but
      in
      general
     
     
      the
      evening
      seemed
      trouble
      free,
      with
      a
     
     
      minimum
      of
      moshing
      --
      although
      one
     
     
      enthusiastic
      blonde
      tried
      unsuccessfully
      to
     
     
      get
      the
      crowd
      into
      a
      smashing
      frenzy.

      can
      describe

      appeared
      on

      is
      worth

      up.
      Some
      of
      the

      sound

      they’re

      not
