Cambrioge letter.
The Editors of " The Peterite." Cambridge. July, 1935.
Dear Sirs,
Congratulations to all concerned on the rate of growth of the new buildings. We hope to see them completed next term.
Cambridge during the Summer Term, is a place of drawn faces, and the consumption of midnight oil gradually, increases as the term proceeds. The passion for unpleasant examinations, which afflicts all departments of the University, is to be deplored, but, unfortunately, deploring it doesn't help much, and the only thing to do is to work and hope ; consequently the O.P. Club has not been particularly active during the term, and the doings of some members are shrouded under an impenetrable veil.
Congratulations are due to N. W. D. Yardley on his Blue ; more to follow.
J. C. Close (King's) has sold his 100 pianos and bought a radiogram. . He also plays with keys and matches in lectures, but so far has not registered a direct hit on a professor.
J. N. Emery (St. John's) has suffered severely from a Tripos. His motor bike becomes more notorious every day, so he tried to buy another from the police, but failed. Continues to have tea with Moore.
N. A. Huddleston (Trinity) bought a special Jubilee hat for June 6th. He does not appear to have taken any examinations, so is possibly still alive.
L. A. Little (Sidney Sussex) and Clarence (his skeleton) are both flourishing. They won £8 in a sweep, and hold wild gambling parties in 7 Park Street.
R. W. Moore (Sidney Sussex) still wields an oar with great effect, and spends the rest of his time on the back of John Emery's motor bike. Each is good training for the other. Has also taken an examination, and is making a film of Cambridge life.
V. W. G. Musgrove (St. Catherine's) is never seen. We can only conclude that he is still invisible.
H. E. T. Summers (Queen's) is seen but seldom. He wears a worried look, and we suspect that he works in secret.
N. W. D. Yardley (St. John's) plays cricket sometimes ; he also finds time to eat and sleep, and occasionally to visit a, flick.
Wishing the School every success, We remain, THE CAMBRIDGE OLD PETERITES.
