The Spike: or, Victoria College Review, June 1904
Ourselves
Ourselves.
At the first meeting of the Students' Association this year, Miss F. Smith was appointed Editor of the "Spike," and thereafter followed a period—till the next meeting—during which those interested endeavoured to persuade the refractory Editor to withdraw her resignation.
"Three weeks they expended in voluble strife
Flattery, plots, and debating,
Each used every word he'd learned in his life
While the poor old "Spike" was waiting."
To which our poet adds the refrain
"Oh, the Chair of the Chief is a graduate's place,
A smile should e'er rest on your editor's face,
His knowledge be all-permating"—
Which as we think, is an unnecessary reflection on last year's Editor. In the end a readjustment of portfolios had to be arranged, on which we need only remark—
"And three will work that the College may smile,
The "Spike" will be written in superfine style,
And all in the garden be blooming."
