The Spike or Victoria College Review, June 1907

Concert At Sydney Street Schoolroom

Concert At Sydney Street Schoolroom.

The Students' Association was on the horns of an appalling dilemma. Unless additional funds were forthcoming it seemed probable that some of our Easter representatives would be reduced to sire extremities—would have to work their passage, in fact. The panic stricken Committee decided to give an entertainment in the Sydney Street Schoolroom, and the situation was saved. The entertainment went off with tremendous éclat. The Glee Club revived severed old favourites, and the audience was not unappreciative. Songs were contributed by the Misses Martin, Strack, and Lyons, and Mr. G. H Hutcheson. Mr. and Miss Newton gave a very clever and amusing sketch. De la Mare recited, and no weary soul was on this occasion page 65 heard to express itself in a yawn. Various results were promised by Mr. Von Haast to those would "wear a nice piece flannel next the skin." "Box and Cox," excellently portrayed by the Reid Brothers and Mr. Blythe, concluded the public portion of the programme. Most of the students present were prepared to indulge in a little dancing, but the caretaker was indifferent alike to the cajoleries of the ladies and the more direct persuasion of the men, and for once in the history of the college the enthusiasts were disappointed.
