Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol. 8, No. 11. August 8, 1945

[Introduction]

On Friday night, July 6, ten enthusiastic and high-spirited Training College trampers left Otaki station for the Forks, on the hindquarters of a truck.

The main party arrived at Field at 2.30 Saturday morning. Daylight saw the party as spruce as ever on the track to Kime. Snow was not encountered till well past Dennan Peak. Kime Hut was sighted with cheerful catcalls about noon. Snow was good, and the ski enthusiasts revelled in it all the afternoon. Stew that evening was particularly acceptable, so the party sitting around the kerosene stove in Kime was happy.

Four o'clock Monday morning saw everybody up and busy preparing for the six-mile tramp to the swing bridge where the truck was booked for 8 a.m.
