Original Toronto Star caption: Members of the National Ballet School ran up the flage-a big painted sign-to welcome home Celia Franca and National Ballet dancers at Malton airport yesterday. The welcome home sign was just part of the ceremony in honor of the company's successful European tour; with Mayor William Dennison and representatives of the federal and provincial governments on hand to offer their congratulations. The exhausted dancers had flown in from Monte Carlo where they went to party Monday night with Prince Rainier and Princess Grace of Monaco.
