Calendar, Summer Term, 1949

A. Gilmour Reynolds (Emmanuel). His recent attack of pneumonia is to be regretted, but he assures us that it had its advantages. Refused a part in the Russian production of "Boris Godunor" with some witty saying about it not being good enough. Threatens to lead the Communists in India. Provides the best tea in Cambridge but insists on talking. A tribunal is to investigate his recent photograph in a wellknown society magazine.

P. F. Ringrose (Clare). Appears to have devoted his attentions to the law this term but he has been known to trip the light fantastic. Claims to work 25 hours a day.

J. F. Spink (Emmanuel). A true man of mystery, and in our naivety we attribute his disappearance to work—well, what else can you do in Cambridge?

J. D. Ward (St. John's). Works hard and occasionally plays a vicious kind of squash. Claims to be able to feel the hot breath of Tripos examiners on his neck—a mere physical illusion brought about by a warm day and the extreme coldness of his rooms His efforts at cooking deserve a "cordon bleu".

G. Wilson (Emmanuel). Lives a life of virtuous solitude whilst attempting to work. Laments the deplorable ignorance of scientists and bursts into tears when asked by one of them why his punctuation should be corrected in a scientific essay.

With which sad thought and tragic reflection on our times we, with every best wish for the School's future for yet another term, sign ourselves.

Yours sincerely,

THE CAMBRIDGE OLD PETER
