The first meeting of the new Executive took place on Thursday last. All new members, except Mr. Birks, distinguished themselves by arriving late. The new President, after a fatherly talk, got down to business and, with Mr. Scotney to move the closure when necessary, the twenty-two items on the agenda were disposed of in record time.

"Smad's" Hansard reporter prided himself upon his punctual appearance at the first Exec. Meeting last Thursday, but his pride was hot shared by Misses Grainger, McLaren and Harding and Mr Scotney, who arrived at intervals between 8 and 8.30 p.m.

The meeting began at 8.5 p.m., the McGhie reading the minutes with pompous and deliberate articulation which must have sounded somewhat impressive to the one new member present at this stage. To the accompaniment of a regular tattoo from hockey players, the minutes were continued until interrupted at 8.15 p.m. by the entry of Misses Grainger and Harding, flushed and apologetic, A suave and unperturbed Mr. Scotney then interrupted, closely followed by Miss McLaren. The McGhie and the hockey still continued. . . .
