Notes and Jottings.

Ralph Bannister, Editor of "Spike" for 1931 and 1932, and twice a member of the Joynt Scroll teams which won that debating trophy for Victoria College, is, we understand, leaving Wellington to take up a legal position in Hawke's Bay. Ralph has taken a great interest in College affairs for a number of years, and done a lot of good work for several of the Clubs, which, we like to think, has been appreciated. Good luck, Ralph!

Denny Mulvihill, a member of the First Fifteen in 1930 and 1931, is, we notice, going ahead in a fair way to gain top honours in Rugby in Auckland. Denny was included in the New Zealand University Team in the Second Test against the Australians, and he appeared to give a good performance. Recently the Auckland "Star" de voted a column to his career, and he is being hailed in Auckland as the most brilliant back seen in the Queen City since the halcyon days of the master, A. E. Cooke.

So if any of you have a pet idea you have been longing to try out. let "spike" have it. and you never can tell. you may win the prize.

Dr. Ian Henning, who, as a Lecturer in Modern Languages at Victoria College, and the first Warden at Weir House, was very popular here, has left New Zealand to take up an appointment in Australia. We wish him all possible success in his new position.
