Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria University, Wellington N.Z. Vol. 22, No. 3. April 13, 1959

[Introduction]

Hic ... We won the Drinking Horn ... Hic ... and someone tells us that Otago won the tournament shield, and we brought back the witches' brew, I mean wooden spoon.

Our sports reporters are still recovering, but we heard we won the shooting and we were second in the tennis. The cricketers, athletes, swimmers and women's basketballers finished last, keeping well within Vic's wonderful tradition. But, of course we won the shooting.

I would like to suggest that A.U. take a few lessons on (a) how to conduct a Drinking Horn and (b) how to compete in one, and so avoid repetition of the shambles. And Vic. won the shooting.

For those who were awake the team arrived in Auckland at about 11.30 a.m. on Good Friday morning after a strenuous and sleepless trip from Wellington. Who smashed the windows? Who travelled up and back without tickets? And did someone smuggle a bottle of beer aboard after all the warnings on the loudspeakers in Wellington? Who won the shooting?
