Martin Recommends

Martin Recommends

Among the more interesting items from the report of Senior Winter Tournament Delegate, John Martin, tabled at the last exec, meeting, was the news that V.U.C. had supplied Miss Winter tournament 1957 (Janet Duncan, of the women's hockey team), and also the winning Drinking Horn team.

Recommendations from Mr. Martin's report, which are to be considered by the Exec., are: The designing of one V.U.C. badge for both Easter and Winter Tournament, thus saving unnecessary expense; the levying of some charge to defray the high cost of badges and ribbons; the provision of insurance for tournament competitions (as is done for "Extrav."); the payment of subsidies on a rate proportionate to the cost of travel rather than a flat rate of 25/-.

On the bridge stood the Bishop of Buckingham.
Taking sweets from his pocket and sucking em.
Watching the women
All divin' and swimmin'
And at last jumpin' over and duckin' 'em.

On the lawn stood the Bishop of Buckingham.
Taking sweets from his pocket and sucking 'em.
Gazing for hours
At his bedfuls of flowers
And occasionally stooping and plucking 'em.
