Remember
... the student who was going to barbecue a carcase of lamb for us at the Herbert station?
... the vast amount of liquid refreshments consumed on the train from Dunedin to Christ-church?
... the chaotic frustration when the train stopped in '"dry" areas?
... the Auckland laddie who performed rather well at the athletics by attempting to jump the hurdles in a drunken condition?
... the Victoria yachtsmen who spent two and a half hours in the Dunedin harbour?
... four boys making for the "bowling green" on a motor scooter with "L" plates?
... the Charlie Chaplin film at the med. school on Sunday night?
... the songs that were sung on Monday night at the "bowling green"?
... the excellent performance given at the swimming finals by the trick divers from the Phys. Ed. School?
... the cursed neighbours who rang the cops?
... the good performance given by "Moon" with his tweeds at one end of the hall and him at the other?
... the fifth year med. who had to put four stitches in the head of an inebriated fellow student?
... the brain who rang his mother in Wellington to find out how long it took to cook hedgehogs?
... the fantastic time that was had by all at the rigger string hop?
... the Victoria haka party that gave a very creditable performance (Cha Cha Cha)?
... the dinner party held by one flat, with garcon and all?
... the personality boy from Auckland who wore a cap, white shorts, football socks and his drinking blue the entire time he was at Tournament?
... the intellectual who had to pay 30/- to get himself out of the police station after being arrested for directing the traffic in the Octagon?
Let's face it (to coin a phrase)—Otago is The place for Tournament. Woolstore hops for Wellington! ! !
