Combinded Club's Dance

Combinded Club's Dance

At about a quarter to nine last Saturday the orchestra began to play the first dance to about eight couples (apparently the rest of the dancers were raising their spirits outside the "dry" precincts of V.U.C.). However, during the first dance more and more people continued to arri ve until the floor was filled without being crowded. Just before supper (which was served downstairs as ususal and was as usual) blues were shortly and effectively presented to those deserving the same by Mr. G. F. Dixon. After supper, "Smad" determined to seek the notorious commissionaire, but he was nowhere to be found. (A mere shadow that sees without being seen.) However, "Smad" found a car loaded with hateful liquor which had met the commissionaire and been ejected. We are eternally grateful to the generous owners of that car. After a short interval, "Smad" staggered back to the Gym. to be met by an appalling spectacle. Instead of the sane, steady, reliable fellows he had felt, here were childish figures with paper caps, blowing squeaking balloons. As a compensation for a bottle in one's pocket, one may now wear a paper cap, in place of a glass at one's lips one has a squeaker.

More in sorrow than in anger "Smad" (and partner) retired.
