The Annual Meeting for 1934 will be remembered (if at all) first for its comparative orderliness and second for the spectacular come-back of the ubiquitous Mr. Plank, who busily occupied the time with amendments, additions and deletions considered by him (and occasionally by others present) to be necessary to the Constitution. Although the minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved, only one passage was audible—that dealing with a request that Mr. Willis leave the room. Apparently he had disregarded it.

Treasurer Defended.

The chairman tactfully defended the Treasurer from being compelled to read the accounts. On being subjected to a mild questioning, Bradshaw three times said he thought he could answer the questions, but judging by the mixed reception given his replies, it appeared that the audience did not altogether think so.

Plank to the Fore.

The meeting (or rather Chas. Plank) then got down to business. The amendment dealing with the dates for commencement of summer sport was soon disposed of, and the Swimming Club received the reward of its persistence in getting additional blues approved. On Bob Bradshaw advancing as one of his arguments the fact that the Swimming Club had this year exercised greater weight than formerly at Tournament, Mr. Donovan opined that this was due to the inclusion of Mason in the team.

Larkin v. Plank.

Charlie Plank then dropped a bombshell by suggesting that if there was a reporter present he would move that he be forbidden to record the proceedings on the ground that their somewhat facetious nature could not be regarded as fit copy for the daily papers. Mr. Larkin promptly countered with the view that this was contrary to the principles of freedom for which we had all fought so assiduously, thereby impaling Mr. Plank on the horns of a dilemma, from which precarious position only the dissenting vote of an emancipated audience could extricate him.

Mr. Plank then wanted 18 blues for the Tennis Club, but the audience didn't. Undeterred by defeat, a third attempt was made. At a general meeting some weeks ago, in the absence of Old Father William (as Mr. Plank was affectionately referred to), we had amended the Constitution so as to exclude persons playing for outside clubs in any sport from getting blues in any other sport. But at the Plankian plea we gaily rescinded the motion passed with all due solemnity only a few weeks ago. It proof be wanted as to the plasticity of the student mind, exposed at this impressionable age to every kind of seductive influence thrown before it, we have it here. May the Welfare League never know of this volte face, and may the influences to which we are subjected ever be as pure as those which prompted Charlie's soulful harangue that night!

Massey Declined.

Incidentally it may be mentioned that the College possesses a capable official seconder in the person of H. Sivyer, who very ably seconded most of the motions moved at the meeting. All present were agreeable to declining Massey's proposal to become one with us at Tournament, while pledging themselves to support Massey's entry as a separate College, if that be possible (knowing that it had already been decided impossible).

The returning officer then had something to say about the system of voting, and a committee was to consider the matter. Election results were then announced:
