The Spike or Victoria College Review October 1929

Women's Club

Women's Club.

The Women's Club is a young Club, but like all young things, it has a great capacity for growth—a capacity which its recent efforts have strikingly revealed. Indeed, although only a three-year-old, it is a very sturdy infant with all the vitality necessary for prolonged existence on the "clay patch."So it was with the memory of a successful term of office that the 1928-29 Committee retired from the arena of women's affairs. To this Committee we owe the only attraction which our dilapidated Common Room displays—the curtains. Besides this tangible evidence of its accomplishments, we have the remembrance of enjoyable evenings—notably that held in the Common Room, with Professor von Zedlitz as speaker. In his usual brilliant style the professor liberally supplied his audience with thought and with merit.

The annual meeting of the Club elected the following officers:—Patronesses, Mrs. Boyd-Wilson and Mrs. Miller; President, Miss Hereford; Secretary and Treasurer, Miss Forde; Committee, Misses Shallcrass, Trapp and Chisholm.

In conjunction with the Haeremai Club we ran a masked Fancy Dress Ball, which was socially and financially a success. All who attended seemed to have the equivalent of a "good time," and even the kilted "Heelandman" in the gathering must have been satisfied with the return which his payment brought him. But if we do look back occaionally to events that have passed, we can also look forward to attractive activities in the future.

Already the "Bookman" has been ordered, and presents a very bright prospect for those whose Common-Room minutes would otherwise be emtpy ones. The Club is fulfilling its part in College life, but we still want more support from the women students, and with this last reminder we ask the freshers for 1930 to join our organisation, which exists for them and through them.
