Sixty-six years of execs

Salient Reporter

Over One Hundred former executive members met last Tuesday night for a reunion dinner.

Present executive members and special guests swelled the attendance to about 130.

Three speakers proposed a toast to the students association. They were Sir David Smith, representing the 1900-1920 era. Mr. R. W. Edgley, representing 1920-1940, and Mr. K. O'Brien, representing 1940 onwards.

The 1963 VTJWSA president, Mr. Peter Blizard, replied to the toast.

A suggestion by one speaker that a graduates' association be established was well received.

A proposal that the dinner, be repeated in future years gained a wholesale endorsement by acclamation.

The scheme was originated and carried out by public relations officer Ian McKinnon.

The chairman, Mr. C. J. Robertson, told the meeting that at the same time, old VUWSA executive members in London were also holding a dinner.
