Swords In Line

The Swords Club is one of the University's keen dubs. Every Tuesday night at 7.30 and Saturday morning at 10.30 the boys and girls are pulling on their Jackets and looking round to see where they put their foils. "Class," calls Mr. Dickson, and the evening is under way.

The beginner will not fight as soon as he or she joins, for, as in any art, a proper knowledge of groundwork is the only basis on which proficiency can be laid.

The fencing crowd are a friendly crowd and if you want to join never let it be said that shyness or modesty held vou back. The ladles could reach Juliet Burrell (runner-up Ladies' Provincial Foil Championship, by the way) via their letter rack, and the men could use the Common Room to contact Peter Hampton, the club captain.

The Varsity Swords Club has produced some real talent in foil, epee and sabre, with Eric and 'Bub' Flaws starring provincially in the latter roles. Mr. Dickson has been training a large group of college girls, so come along and acquire this ancient and most elegant of arts. A pair of sand shoes is all you need.
