Tournament

Tournament

Most students at present attending V.U.C., after having heard many wonderful stories of what has happened at previous tournaments, will welcome the opportunity of being present at one themselves, when they will no doubt discover that some of these stories are not as impossible as was at first imagined. They should be pleased to meet students of other Colleges at the most favourable timeof the year, before the thought of approaching examinations has exerted its paralysing effect on their good spirits. This year, it is the privilege of wikitorians to act as hosts to these representatives and their supporters and we feel convinced that they will rise to the occasion to make this Tournament a memorable one.

We extend to all visitors a cordial welcome to our fair city. if it has been your good fortune to visit Wellington previously, you will know what to expect in regard to weather; if not, you probably have a varied treat in store for you. We trust that you will make the most of your short holiday, but we do advise contestants to refrain from and undue celebrations before Saturday morning, bacasue V.U.C. this year must not be taken too cheaply. After the generous spoon-feeding our representatives have received for the lastfew years, they feel confident of meeting their opponents onequal terms and they have decided that the celebrated Wooden Spoon should find a home where its presence is better appreciated.

When all the contests are consluded and you have collected your tattered mascots and in some cases, perhaps, your scattered wits, we hope that you will carry away with you, pleasant memories of the 1936 N.Z.U. Tournament in Wellington.
