Notes and Jottings.

We learn with regret that P. R. ("Bobbie") Martin-Smith has unfortunately been in bad health lately, but are pleased to see he is up and about again. A life member of the Victoria College Students' Association, Bob is far too well known to require any introduction. Best wishes, Bob.

J. Guntrip, a well-known member of the Star Orchestra, who graduated this year, has been transferred to Masterton. He will take with him the best wishes of all Wikitorians, who will miss seeing "Trip" presiding at the piano.

Another who has not been enjoying the best of health lately is Eric Mahoney, New Zealand University Boxing Blue, keen oarsman, footballer, and also one time member of the V.U.C. Students' Association Executive. Eric, during his College career here, made a host of friends, all of whom we know wish him a speedy return to the best of health.

With both Tournament and Capping past, and the first, term vacation ended, Students will now be able to settle to the grindstone. However, we hope that more Students will find time to send in contributions to this magazine. For the first two issues contributors have been few and far between, which makes the task of the editorial committee increasingly difficult. The contribution need not be long. In fact, short articles are preferable. But let us have them.

"Spike," the literary magazine of the College, will be published later in the year, and contributions now are welcomed. The sooner the contributions come in the easier is the work of the Editorial Staff, who will welcome articles and verse on any topic. Club Secretaries are also reminded that their notes for publication in "Spike" should be sent in as soon as possible.
