Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol. 12, No. 4. May 4th 1949

[Introduction]

As a light relief to the serious business of this Easter there were four official social events plus the inevitable individual sports dinners, bashes, etc. The thanks of all competitors go to Jean Melling and her band of hard-working assistants who carried the social programme though successfully.

On the afternoon of Good Friday, tea and hot-cross buns followed the official welcome. It was the longest queue the Caf. has ever seen and there was some doubt as to the capabilities of the walls of the Women's Common Room to stretch—but the room held all-comers.

Saturday night saw the first official dance in the Gym. The crowds arrived after the boxing and stayed dancing into the early hours. It is rumoured that the Boxing Club held their own bash somewhere down town. We have no further information on that.
