Tennis

The annual general meeting was attended by more than the usual number of enthusiastic tennis players. After a bright discussion on the balance sheet, tennis balls and netting, officers for the coming season were elected. President: Bert Foley. Chairman: Myles O'Connor. Secretary: Peter McKenzie. Treasurer: Brian Igglesden. Committee: Margaret Beattie, Avis Reed, Joyce Strange, Loris Webley, Colin Atmore. Win Smiler, George Stacey and John Walton.

Opening Day Tournament: Contrary to all expectations the day was ideal for tennis and at 1.30 p.m. (almost), under the capable management of Ken McNaught, 76 players found themselves involved in a complicated handicap Yankte tournament which concluded shortly after 5 p.m., the winners being Rae Turner and Graham Pearson. Altogether, a very successful day—new tennis balls, a perfect day, and a most enjoyable afternoon tea.

Though many students will be away from Wellington during the holidays, the tennis club looks forward to a very successful season.
