Loverly Picnic Held at Day's Bay

A lovely picnic at Day's Bay was arranged by the Social Committee at Easter for the visitors. Fortunately the day dawned bright and clear, so all our apprehensions were set at rest. We all queued up for the S.S."Cobar" on Sunday afternoon, and all the girls were in their Sunday best, and did look lovely. Well the "Cobar" drew in and everybody went aboard. We quickly grouped ourselves in advantageous positions on the boat to see the natural beauties of the harbour, and then, oh, what a surprise! We found that the ubiquitous Mr. Daniell had brought his ever-popular concertina, so we didn't have to waste time looking at the harbour at all, but could sit at the back end of the boat and sing popular undergraduate songs. Oh, what fun we had! We sang everything from "Weeping and Wailing" to "Weeping and Wailing." Then we got to Day's Bay, and everybody went ashore and a dainty afternoon tea was served at the Day's Bay Stores and the Boathouse Tea Gardens. Well, we wandered about Day's Bay for a while, but there was nothing to see, and we all wanted to get back on board the S.S. "Cobar," because we knew that the ubiquitous Mr. Daniell would be there again with his ever-popular concertina. And when we got back on board, there he was, so we all went back to Wellington singing "Weeping and Walling" and other popular undergraduate songs. And so we reached home, and left the S.S. "Cobar," each vowing that they had never spent a happier day, what with the natural beauties of the harbour and the ever-popular concertina.
