No Dull Moments at Capping Ball

No Dull Moments at Capping Ball.

It was a great Ball which concluded the best Capping week for years. Four hundred and fifty people thoroughly enjoyed themselves, even though they chose different ways of expressing their pleasure. The supper arrangements were as good as any Capping Ball supper arrangements ever are. . . honi soit qui mal y pense. As "Smad" prohibits a list of "among those present," all that remains to do is to produce some evidence in support of the opening sentence. The matron of the Thorndon Hospital sallied forth at 3 a.m. and complained that so raucous was the students singing that she was obliged to administer ether to her patients. And now we come to "God Save the King" when Toffee scored the hit of the morning. Aloof from the happy throng, he stood in the middle of St. Francis Hall, and with supreme solemnity and dignity conducted the Anthem as it has never been conducted before!

And so to the Hot Dog. . . . . . .

"What did you think of 'Peccadillo'?"

"It wouldn't be fair to say. I saw it under bad conditions: the curtain was up."
