The Spike: or, Victoria University College Review, October 1919

The Undergraduates' Supper

The Undergraduates' Supper.

The undergraduates' supper was the final scene of the Capping Carnival. After the extravaganza all the students (some still in full war paint as ladies and gentlemen of the future) marched along Manners Street to the Marble Bar, and proceeded to enjoy themselves. The orchestra played during supper, and in spite of lack of room there was a little dancing. After supper various healths were drunk, and several speeches made, mostly rendered inaudible by the merry clatter. The toasts honoured were: "The King," "The College Authorities," "The Graduates," and "The Returned Soldiers." After singing some of the old College choruses we broke up, having brought to a fitting end the varied pleasures of the week.
