Little Known Heroes of Capping Week

Little Known Heroes of Capping Week.

For the first time on record, the whole 5000 Cappicades have been sold. This is due no doubt to the high standard of the publication, but also to the very enthusiastic efforts of the younger members of the College. First and foremost, Geff Wallis—what a man. For a whole week parading up and down town, discoursing with wild gesticulation on the superabundant merits of the Capping Book. And every night of the extrav, acting as Lord Cappicade.

Also the many super salesmen and saleswomen and those who took a turn at the Cappicade Shop.

On Friday, 23rd, a contingent from Weir House, set forth on their traditional ceremony of selling cappicades in the taverns of the city. On the way they picked up H. Innis Dowrick under whose spiritual guidance they fared well. The technique was to perform a haka in each hotel to subdue those who were not already under the influence. Easy work after that. A lot were disposed of in this way.
