More Things they Say:

Native of New South Wales: "Australia's a land where the men are men and the women are glad of it"

Margaret Johnstone: "I should have described it as a land where the women are women and the men are anxious to make the most of it."

And this one came through Shirley Sutch:

Danzig with tears in your eyes.

Informative soul: I was talking to a taxi driver the other night. He was taking a woman to a maternity hospital, had an accident on the way and the baby was born in the cab.

Ron Meek: That would be a case of crash on delivery.

Overheard on the stairs (they were speaking very loudly):

Betty Stubbs: But why did you have your bath under an umbrella?

Elizabeth Hussey: Well, you see, there was no lock on the door.

The playreading of Juno and the Paycock was responsible for the year's record attendance.

We like the Idea of Paul Powell digging dog-like under the flagpole to find Kime Hut in the week-end.

We are also delighted to learn that for once Chas, Watson-Munro couldn't take it.

Congratulations to Messrs. Edgley and Meek. Further congratulations to Mr. Meek.

Glee Club Concert

The outlet for musical talent at V.U.C. is somewhat limited to the annual extravaganza and to a series of gramophone recitals. The Glee Club in endeavouring to foster an interest in singing, produces its annual concert. The club is small and enthusiastic and this year, under the capable direction of Mr. R. L. Hutchens, it is again taking the limelight on Friday, August 4th, in the gym. of course, the scene of its earlier triumphs.

An excellent programme has been arranged, including several popular chorus and quartet numbers. The soloists, among the men, are worthy of mention—Martin Liddle, Frank Rule, and Phil Marsack, Those who heard the concert last year will remember Martin Liddle's excellent rendition of "Largo al Factotum" a la Tibbett.

The concert will commence at 8.15 p.m. sharp, and will open with the College Song. Those who have song books, should bring them along—those who have not yet purchased one, may do so at the small figure of 6d. Freshers (not so fresh now)—this is your chance.

So remember the Glee Club Concert on Friday, August 4th, at 8.15 p.m. The admission is 1/-, and by special permission of the Principal a short dance will be held afterwards.

Supper is provided also; Remember: It's a Glee club Show!!
