The Spike or Victoria College Review June 1930

Haeremai Club Notes

page 80

Haeremai Club Notes.

The Club held its annual general meeting on Friday, 14th March, 1930, and was attended by some forty members.

For its new blood the Club had to contend with the more gentle type of fresher this year owing to the fact that all the two-fisted beer-craving he-men had joined the rowing club.

Just before the 1930 session commenced some members, by using a sufficiently good disguise, managed to creep into the Opera House and gave a free demonstration of the "Cistern" choir at work.

A very successful and at the same time enjoyable social was held in conjunction with the Women's Club. It was recognised even by others to be the most promising to date.

The Club was forced to ask its members to roll along in a body to endure for over two hours the masterpiece called on the ticket "Kyd." It will find its right name as it grows older.

Once again the Haeremai Club was called on to "run" the Capping procession. Though the actual arrangements may be in the hands of the Club, nevertheless it is a students' function, and all male members of the College should co-operate for once and ensure its success. The usual Capping ceremonies were attended by the Club.

The annual Club "Smoko," usually held at the end of Capping Week, was cancelled for this year at any rate owing to the somewhat startling and erratic performances of some water-tight members who supposed that a glass when rolled along a table and then allowed to bounce on to the floor would remain whole. These and other such unnecessary items, though unique, proved rather Costly. But the Dinner to be held on the 28th June will be worth while.

This year the Club, incorporated with the Students' Association, attempted to make known the various College songs. The Club introduced the system of songs printed on lantern slides, which proved a most outstanding success. The singing reminded one of a notice which once appeared on a board outside a church:—

Subject:—What is Hell Like?
Come and hear our Choir.
