Yes! at the Capping Ball

"Gin a body meet a body
Need a body dance?———"

You can't miss it—the first turning to the right at 10 p.m. on Friday, 6th May, at the Masonic Hall, The Terrace, and then keep on turning all night and turn in next morning.

The function of the Ball is to round off Capping Week to keep it from unravelling—the first half is to work up an appetite for supper, and the second half is to work the supper off. The function of the supper is to provide a motive for the plot. All that need be said of the supper is that

"What you miss upon the scrounge-about
You make up on the swigs."

Owing to an unfortunate oversight breakfast will not be provided.

"It is the lark, the herald of the morn,
No nightingale!"
