 Our last issue was published just after King's Birthday, and most people have not had a long week-end since then, but a few "chosen people" (Civil servants, Bank Clerks, etc.) are just recovering from the lawyer vine scratches collected last week-end on Mt.

These evenings are usually productive of high spirits and general enjoyment among those who take part in them. This being so, the Social Committee have arranged to have at least one such dance each month. There have been a great many small dances held in the Club Room lately, as the majority of Members seemed to desire them.
