The Old Clay Patch

The writer recently acquired a copy of the limited edition of "The Old Clay Patch, 1920."

The suggestion has been favourably received by several old students, that the best of the verse "written in and about VUC" from 1920 to 1946 be collected and issued as a supplement to Edition 2. Proceeds from the subscriptions and sale of this volume go to the building fund.

There is much good verse written here that could be immortalised in a supplementary volume, say every five years.

The support of past students is essential to ensure the success of this.

You can help us by seeing that past students know of It. The records officer can help us by looking out former College poets and contacting them by letter, and in person.

When we can arouse interest among old students throughout New Zealand, we can call for copy to make a success that will prove once for all that VUC has a tradition of culture.
