Tea Dance

Tea Dance

The first tea dance of the year opened with all that Varsity spirit and good humour that it takes to pleasantly wind up a hard afternoon's play in the field. The atmosphere, although somewhat quiet (in decided contrast to the Extrav. re-union to follow!) was extremely sociable.

Music was provided by a somewhat erratic gramophone and amplifier, the pick-up of which responded to the true tradition of all pick-ups by allowing the needle to become caught in the sound track, but Gib Bogle and Dicky Daniell answered nobly to the call with the aid of the piano.

Tea was served with all the dignity and restraint that the social committee could muster. The food was plentiful and the sight of Vivienne Rich holding a saveloy in one hand and a pot of tea in the other was enough to inspire anyone to dine.

The social committee is probably expectant of praise and it is certainly deserving of it. Show your approval of its efforts by attending the next Tea Dance—they are held once a fortnight.
