The Spike: or, Victoria College Review, June 1928
The Procession
The Procession.
Strictly speaking there was no procession. As a matter of fact, however, some bright spark conceived of the idea of holding a student procession in aid of street day being held on the Friday in aid of the Citizen's Carillon Fund. This idea was taken up. The citizens of Wellington were thus entertained by a motley crew who paraded the streets, some on lorries, some on derelict old cars tied to the aforesaid lorries, some on City Council dust carts, some on foot. In this manner the citizens were presented with burlesques on the Kewpie Club, the City Ambulance. Gordon Coats' Junior Reform League, the evolution of the Ford Car. the N.Z. Health Department, Scotland Yard up-to-date, and several other features which we have forgotten. Speeches were made in the Post Office Square, collections were taken up en route, and everything went off in an amicable and irreproachable fashion. A good procession.
