The Spike or Victoria University College Review

Men's Common Room Club

Men's Common Room Club

This Club (like many others) maintains a cheerful existence under adverse circumstances. The present common room is most inconvenient of access during winter months, and is not used to any extent by the main body of students. The committee is endeavouring to obtain the use of the present men's cloak room. This is admirably suited for the purpose, both by reason of its size and position. Such a scheme, however, necessitates the provision of another cloak room—and this is where the shoe pinches. The annual College deficit stands in the way. Till the long-awaited financier arrives who can make both ends meet, the issue of the committee's efforts is doubtful. Meantime, the Tennis Club members are the persons who appreciate most of all the advantages of the present room.

The first of the Club's gatherings was held on the 6th of May, when a varied programme of songs and recitations was submitted, and an enjoyable evening spent. There was the usual fortnightly gathering on the 20th, and on the 3rd June a very pleasant and successful dance was held in the Cymnasium.
