The Spike or Victoria College Review, June 1903

Euchre Party and Dance

Euchre Party and Dance.

"No sleep till morn when youth and pleasure meet
To chase the glowing hours with flying feet."

The term was drawing towards its close when the social—to welcome new students—was held. It was a great success, except for the new students—who were conspicuous by their absence. If they could only realise what good fun College socials really are the hall would not be large enough to hold them—even on such a night as Thursday, the 28th of May. New student, next time a social is given in thine honour, come; or thou wilt find at the eleventh hour how much pleasure thou hast lost.

The large hall at the Girls' High School was prettily decorated with flags for the occasion. The euchre went fast and furiously till ten o'clock, at which hour the killed and wounded were gathered together and the spoils handed to the victors. Miss Tait, Miss Roberts, and Miss F. Smith were the successful ladies, and Professor Brown, with Messrs. Park and Quartley, shared the honours of the men.Miss N. Batham had a "walk over" for the ladies' "booby" prize, while J. A. Brailsford achieved a similar honour—in the absence of last year's champion. Mr. Ritchie distributed the prizes, Professor Brown having a more important duty to attend to. Then the decks were cleared for action, and a most enjoyable dance ended all too soon.
