Odds And Sods
Odds And Sods
Mainly Odds …
Social enthusiast, Brian Hogan, held a darling Cocktail Party a week or so ago, for the introduction of Teckas (little mouse, or little rat, in Malayan, according to your inclinations) White, granddaughter of Mr Art Kelliher, to Wellington society. Was Margo there, Brian?
Mainly Sods …
Des Deacon of Extrav. fame is engaged, looking for a nice little bachelor flat! He was at new Exec. member John Tannahill's recent party; so was Terry Browne who, incidentally, co-produced a snappy review recently—could Extrav. take a lesson from its intimacy? Other uninvited guests were Tony Ashendon, Cyril Bustin, Janet Minion, Vern Pascoe, Margaret Campbell, Ann Sayers, Armour Mitchell, Liz Barnao, John Hercus, Peter Frater.
Jazz …
Some often-criticised but enterprising Vic. jazz musicians and others have started "Studio Jazz Club" down town. The decor features Geoff Murphy's efforts in art —not too bad if looked at closely from a long way off. Music is semipolished, enthusiastic and worth listening to. Which reminds me when is the promising Mark Young producing some more poetry?
Byron II …
Remember Keith "Byron" Walker, English lecturer last year? I hear tell of his harebrained schemes for travelling on the Continent this year; his tetters from Oxford are lewd and limerieky. A second Don Juan?
Maori On Tour …
The farewell to Winiata was worthy gesture to a true Maori leader. Students there included Maori Club. Rugby Club, Accountancy and Exec, representatives Miss Tirakatene was a magnificent hostess—what a personality; what a pity she doesn't turn up to more Exec. meetings.
