The Spike: or, Victoria College Review, October 1906

The Supper

The Supper.

"Now to the banquet we press,
Now for the eggs and ham,
Now for the mustard and cress,
Now for the strawberry jam."

This year a separate hall was engaged for the Graduates' Supper, but even the additional space thus afforded was taxed to the uttermost. After some had had a hearty supper, the usual toast-list was proceeded with, and the medals won at the Easter Tournament presented. The only novel feature was the presentation to G. F. Dixon by our tournament representatives, of a biscuit barrel suitably inscribed. Owing to the ambiguous nature of E. J. Fitzgibbon's remarks in making the presentation, certain students and professors expressed considerable surprise that the engagement had not been announced in our last issue.

After the toasts had been honoured, dancing was begun and continued far into the small hours of the morning.
