Election of Officers.

This monotonous task was ably controlled by the Chairman, who once again, after a short discussion on hakas and the relative merits of beer and other liquids, declared Professor Murphy re-elected President of the Club, opposed only by Mr. Brooks and Miss Irvine, both of whom, we understand, were unwilling to accept office. Following the election of president, the meeting developed into a heaving mass of frantic humanity. After the chairman had been consistently heckled, a vote of no confidence in the chair unsuccessfully attempted, and members had aired their views, consisting of sheer claptrap and balderdash, the remaining officers for the year were elected.

In fairness to this club, we must say that it deserves the support of more members of V.U.C. The ideals, aims and objects are the dissemination of goodwill and good fellowship, and in this respect the club is somewhat akin to the well-known Smith Family, the only difference being apparently, that the Haeremai Club is in such a "strong financial position" that it is unnecessary for it to employ such people as Mr. T. C. A. Hislop to collect donations.

Mr. Cliff Camp has been appointed Chief Sampler to the N.Z. Reserve Tank.
