The Spike or Victoria College Review October 1928

Women's Club

Women's Club

Several successful functions have been held during the latter part of our second year. On July 24th, soon after the annual general meeting, a "cultural" evening was held. We were fortunate in having present, Mrs. Hannah, who gave us a most interesting and helpful lecture upon modern poetry. Before commencing to eat and be merry around the supper table, a hearty demonstration of thanks and appreciation was given by the large and happy gathering. We are grateful also for the interest shown by Mrs. Hannah in presenting us with a very happy picture to hang in the common room.

At the request of the Haeremai Club, we combined with them in August to hold a social and dance in the gym. This was a happy and successful function comprising items, college songs, supper (at which the Haeremai cooks introduced hot saveloys), and dancing.

On September 11th, a social evening was held, at which the ping-pong finals were played off, a competition and singing of college songs concluding the function.

It is proposed to hold a Hallowe'en party after the conclusion of exams. We hope to have a large attendance at this function, which will be in the nature of a farewell.

We are still hoping for some support from the women, as several of our evenings have not been, in respect of numbers, as successful as we had anticipated. Nevertheless we are confident that, with increasing membership, and a widening circle of activities, we shall be met with growing enthusiasm from our fellow-students.
