Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington N.Z. Vol. 1, No. 7 April 27, 1938

Swimming and Moonlight

Swimming and Moonlight.

The swimming at the Tepid Baths was Canterbury's night out. Before a crowded gallery, packed with cheering, yelling multitudes of students, they gained 5 points out of a possible 10.

Thus the result of the Tournament depended on the Tennis finals to be played on Tuesday.

In the meantime, after the Swimming, we all laid aboard the s.s. "Duchess" for a moonlight cruise to Walheke island. It was a perfect evening with a brilliant moon and scarcely a breath of wind. Owing to a late start it was not possible to land the excursionists on the island. Still, as George remarked: "Perhaps it's just as well they didn't. They'd never have got them back again."

Many unusual ways of passing the evening pleasantly were seen. Frank Fortune in particular seemed to enjoy a new sport he has discovered.
