Salient: An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol. 12, No. 2, March 16th, 1949.

True as steel

True as steel

Reason Number One for our appearing in print again so soon is to inform all and sundry, particularly club members—dormant, semi-retired and otherwise—that the Annual General Meeting of the Swords Club will be held in the Upper Gym at 8 o'clock on Tuesday evening, the 22nd March. And if you don't think it will be an interesting meeting—come along and make it so. Furthermore, remember that not only committees, but also club policy, can be formed at general meetings.

Reason Number Two is that we think it's always a very sound idea to keep in the public eye, even if they get an eyeful of print. Freshers should have stopped being shy and retiring at this stage of the university year, so we expect to see them (or large numbers of them) at the Tuesday evening and Saturday morning meetings, which are becoming progressively better-attended and more interesting. Fencing is an honest-to-goodness, true-as-steel sport, and can be as vigorous or as sedentary as you want to make it. Also, we say this in all modesty—being ourself a keen exponent—that it attracts some Very Good Types; and remember, one of the aims of university education is to create more and better Very Good Types. If you haven't a sword (colloquialism for "foil") we will be happy to lend you one. So take advantage of our kind offer—we mean it seriously.
