The Spike or Victoria College Review, June 1908

Moonlight Picnic

Moonlight Picnic.

N. B. There was a moon.

"I am glad I came this way so happily."

—Henry VIII.

At 7.14 p. m. on Saturday evening numerous special cars ran out to Anderson's Bay where the company advanced, mostly by force of two in close order, across a headland land down on to the Tomahawk Beach. A huge bonfire was there lighted, and the various colleges gathered in their stragglers at different points of the lighted circle, and prepared to exhibit their versatility. Choruses were roared whenever anyone felt musical (?) but hakas were the items most in demand. Each college in turn did its best to make the night hideous, and the performers had reached a moist state of exhaustion and hoarseness in hand soon removed all traces of it, and the return pilgrimage commenced. One car waited 20 minutes for loiterers. It was very popular.
