The Emmanuel College May Ball Committee would like to extend our thanks to our generous sponsors:

We are proud to support the following charities:

Up! up! my Friend, and quit your books;Or surely you'll grow double:

Up! up! my Friend, and clear your looks;Why all this toil and trouble?

And hark! how blithe the throstle sings!He, too, is no mean preacher:

Come forth into the light of things,Let Nature be your teacher.

W. Wordsworth
