Tournament Ball

Tournament Ball

No prosecutions have as yet followed the Tournament Ball, nor has anyone been reported missing; it achieved no mention in our leading scandal weekly, as did its predecessor; but nevertheless, judged by other standards, it was a great success. Ted Blacker and his horde of economically-minded would-be dancers did a great job of work on Tuesday, and the decorations, featuring the colours of all four colleges. were all that could be desired, even though they did not survive the evening. The mortality among the balloons during the afternoon was nothing short of tremendous but enough were left over to make a good display. As for the ball itself, it got off, for once, to a flying start, and ran itself out in the not-so-small hours.

Dick Wild's voice barely lasted out his term as president of the Tournament Committee, but in the sucessfulcompletion of his half-hour marathon he amply vindicated the honourof Wikitoria. Dick is now known as "the man of many voices."
