The winner was a certain well-known Young Socialist who shall be nameless, i.e. Peter Rotherham.

Second in the competition was a certain fellow bearing the same name as one of the Salient editors — Roger Steele. He is rumoured to be indulging in some serious self-criticism as a result of his narrowly missing first prize. Third was one Peter Osvarth, who may be known to the women on this campus but is not known to this humble caption writer. Also in the picture are Barbara Leishman, evading the camera, Mike Curtis and Ken Howell, one of the organisers of the Aid Appeal Week.
