Printed within, under the heading "Who and What" is the humorously worded schedule of events and lectures, including such examples as "Richard Hagerman, Exconductor of Metropolitan and Chicago Opera Companies and, Frazer Gange who sings as man should sing" and "Carveth Wells Laping in the Laps of the Laps". A list of the club's officers is printed on the facing page and the "Circumnavigators' Club Song" appears on the verso. Two copies of the menu with identical offerings are laid within. One copy, on 8 inch high by 6-3/8 inch wide stiff creamy white paper is illustrated with a photograph of Cape Town along the top. This menu also offers a "Cold Buffet" as an option, which the other does not. There is a chip out from the left of the top edge of this menu with brown stains to that corner. The second menu is printed on stiff 6-3/4 inch high by 5-1/2 inch wide stock with an advertisement for a Dutch company along the top and the sentence "Visit our Friday Night Concerts" in Dutch along the bottom. Additional ads for Dutch businesses are printed in red on the verso of this menu. Very good. Very good .
