The Ball was of course on Thursday night—the usual mad rush in the last couple of hours at the O.U.S.A. marriage bureau trying to jack up partners. One sweet young thing who didn't seem to realize that nobody takes any notice of whom you go with, came up to me and said "Don't mention in Salient that I was here."—The power of the Press!

Trophies were as usual presented at the ball. The only member of the Vic. harrier team there was the bloke who finished forty-sixth out of forty-six—there were plenty of hoots when he was presented with the Cup for the Vic. team.

As the ball progressed two policemen arrived and had their names and helmets taken by two of the girls and were then dragged on for a dance.

The Ball finished at 2 a.m., but there were two girls in ball frocks on the platform to see the train off at half past ten. The trip back was fairly quiet and as on the way down it was a Vic. boy who was first into the Club in Timaru. (Where was he at "drinking horn" time?).

As usual some of the West Indians from Massey provided the classic remarks on the train. To a recumbent figure "What did you do last night—, your sins are telling on you" and during a pillow fight "Peace be Mill upon earth."

It was a happy but tired herd that wended its way slowly off the boat in Wellington—all had apparently one aim—to be at Easter Tournament next year in Wellington.
