Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol. 2, No. 13 July 5, 1939

Au Revoir, Ted Blacker

Au Revoir, Ted Blacker

Saturday night saw a gathering of the clans to farewell a stalwart of the Football Club, and "Father" of social cricket for footballers in the College. One of the best forwards in the memorable 1928-29 teams, he repped when only 17. His unbounded energy and enthusiasm was invaluable as a member of the Students' Executive; and for this alone he will long be remembered. It is indeed fitting that a proposal to nominate him as life Member of the Club should be carried with the greatest enthusiasm ever accorded a recipient of that honour.

"Salient" joins with the Football Club in wishing Ted all the best in his new position and a speedy return to Wellington.
