The Spike or Victoria College Review, June 1905
Victoria College Teams
Victoria College Teams.
"How many goodly creatures have we here?
How beauteous mankind is!"
—The Tempest.
The teams which represented Victoria College this year again contained much material which had been tried (and found wanting) on previous occasions, animated by the same firm resolve—to do or die or come again next year!
The following are the names of the representatives in the different events:

The Debating Society elected A. H. Johnstone and A. G. Quartley for the Debate, but they were unable to undertake the work owing to their departure from Wellington. One of the two reserves, Gleeson, was also away, and the other was H. H. Ostler. Ostler was to be away from Wellington till Easter Thursday—but Tudhope, the Secretary of the Debating Society, was on the war-path.
Then out spake Tudhope roundly—"This job doth vex my soul,
For since the three have gone away, what hope to win the scroll?"
So out spake Hubert Ostler (on figures great is he),
"With a man to stand and wave his hand I'll get a scroll for thee."
Then up jumped Georgius Toogood, a Savage proud was he,
Lo, I will stand and wave my hand as fine and large can be.
On yonder slender platform we'll spout till all is blue"—
Then straight against the northern men forth went the dauntless two.
