The Tennis Club has had another very successful season from the point of view of numbers, at least. Tennis players have been very enthusiastic, and on Saturday afternoons the courts have been very crowded. However since the introduction of the new scheme for controlling the play on these afternoons players have been sure of getting a fair share of games. Still, the need for more courts is acute, since the tennis talent which must lie in at least a few out of such a large number of students ie lost for want of practice. Even on weekday evenings it has often been necessary to wait three-quarter., of an hour for a game.

A few of our members played in the various tournaments during the Christmas holidays, and as a result their play shewed marked improvement. All players should endeavour to improve their game by taking part in tournaments, and as the Wellington Provincial Championships will probably be played in Wellington next year a good opportunity will be offered them.

Two members of our Club, namely, R. Young, and H. N. Burns, represented the Wellington Association in interprovincial matches.

A team from our Club made the annual visit to Otaki, on St. Andrew's Pay, and some very interesting games resulted in the honours being fairly evenly divided.

Our old friends, the pine trees, have not been with us this season, but owing to debris from the new wing being scattered along the side line. No. 1 Court has not been much improved. Next season, however, when building operations will have ceased (we hope) this nuisance will be removed.

Several members of our Club spend most of their time playing at the courts, their excuse being that there are not enough good players on the "Varsity Courts. These players apparently fail to realize that it is largely the fault of themselves and of others like them that this scarcity of good pluyers exists.

Club Officers:—President—Prof. Marsden; VicePresident—W. H. Stainton; Hon. Secretary—F. H. Grant; Hon. Treasurer—R. H. Wilkie : Committee— Misses A. Coull, R. Gardner, and M. Myers; and Messrs. H. N. Burns, H. Williams, and D. F. Stuart.

Women's Club.

The final club night for 1921 took the form of a "Children's Party." when all present attempted to look as young as possible. Games, supper, and dancing beguiled a pleasant evening. The number present was not very large, possibly owing to the proximity of examinations.

We were asked to control the tea arrangements one Sunday afternoon, when Miss Constance Grant came to speak to some local celebrities about the Central Europe Student Relief Fund. We accordingly did so. and it all happened in the new Women's Common Room. Some of us wondered if the visitors could possibly drink afternoon tea after hearing about the privations of the students of Central Europe, but their efforts were quite successful.

The Students' Executive sent on to our Club a request from the Mayor's Famine Relief Committee to undertake a stall at a street sale, but we were reluctantly obliged to decline the undertaking.

The furnishing of the Common Room is still being continued. At last the authorities have been persuaded to put up the picture moulding, so that now we have been able to hang our pictures.

A subcommittee for debating has been appointed, comprising U. Castle, M. Clark, and D. Erickson, and several entertaining debates have already been held.

In July we hope to hold our annual dance—our most successful method of drawing a crowd.
