Likewise got first in Latin with 315/400. Second ‘Cha’ Connor with 210/400. But our Latin papers and also our English are kept to be examined by the Inspectors and this arrangement is especially displeasing to me. – The second day of the Bazaar was much better than the first. The Dean made a splendid speech hinting at the erection of a State School of Music so that there would be no need to beg for a concert piano. Our stall was very nearly sold out, and the great J. J. O’Connor (Technical Commissioner) bought 5 shillings worth of tickets from me. Arthur went and broke a scent squirter which I brought down to squirt some of the gallants. However, Trayton-Adams the Indian, Connor, Arthur and myself made a splendid coup d’état. A whole lot of young sprats were dancing in the ball-room. We entered and suddenly turned off the lights whereat these ladies were so frightened they made for the door, leaving us in possession. I having to go home on message broke up our victory. Lost all I had at roulette, never winning once. At the end the raffles took place. Mám won a fine iced cake! Mr. Scully’s and Miss Scott’s pictures both went to our stall! An auctioneer polished off our remnants. Receipts from our stall ₤16 – not too bad.
