The Gymnasium

For years our football team has been predicting success for itself when the gymnasium is erected. The football team have always been disappointed, but will soon have to arouse themselves from their state of coma if their prophecy is to prove worthy of the trust which it has not yet received. For the gymnasium is being built. Tenders were called for before the College term began and by Easter building operations were well under way. Now that they have some tangible evidence of the work done by the Gymnasium Committee, students are commencing to take a real interest in it and to find grounds for complaint; by the time that the building is complete the anathemas which seem to be in waiting for the committee should completely overwhelm them. It is to be hoped that students will remember their indebtedness to the Minister for Education and through him to the Government, to Lieutenant Shackleton and Mr Leonard Tripp, to our anonymous donor and to those few generous citizens who gave to the fund. The matter of regulations for the financial and other control of the gymnasium has been disturbing the mind of the Students Association Committee for some time. The gymnasium should be ready by next term.
