The Spike: or, Victoria University College Review, June 1921
The Ball
The Ball.
"Away with melancholy, as the boy said when the school missus died."
—Dickens.
Enchanting music—it was "quite the best orchestra in N.Z.' (we were told so), a good floor, the lovely grounds of the Metropolitan Tea Kiosk, and the freedom from restraint felt by all except a few poor tennis reps., combined to make the ball an unqualified success. During the ball the various shields and cups were presented by Mrs. Blunt.
"Good-night! Good-night! Parting is such sweet sorrow."—Shakespeare.
A lovely passage home on Tuesday night in the Waliine concluded a most successful tournament.
