Notes and Jottings.

We understand that Laurie Bansgrove has recently joined the ranks of the benedicts. Laurie is the coach of the Third A Rugby Team, which is at present undefeated in its grade, and has coached and played for 'Varsity Teams in the past. His keenness and enthusiasm have lead to the teams under his charge doing remarkably well. We wish good luck to Laurie and his little lady.

"Spike" contributions to the present have been very disappointing in numbers. Prizes have been offered for the best contributions, and here is an opportunity for promising authors and artists. Now let "Spike's" editors see a big line-up of talent.

Ian Macallan, ex-member of the V.U.C. Senior Cricket Eleven, we learn, is now on his way overseas. We hope Tan will thoroughly enjoy his sojourn in the Northern Hemisphere, and look forward to hearing from him on his return.

We are pleased to record that Frank Grant, graduate of this College, and ex-member of the first fifteen, has now recovered from his recent illness, and is now stationed in the National Bank of New Zealand at Timaru. Good luck, Frank.

'Varsity has stalwart supporters in many past students. An example of this was given when Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Shorland recently gave a most enjoyable Bridge evening on behalf of the 'Varsity Harrier Club.

Evenings such as these entail no little work to those concerned, and the College is indeed grateful to Mr. and Mrs Shorland for their efforts.
