The mystery logo

1953
Despite spending way too much time on it this morning, I've had no luck in tracking down the strange logo on last night's quiz that we were told belongs to Singapore Airlines. That airline in fact has had only one logo since its formation in 1972, though here you can also see the corporate symbols of its two predecessors.
1966

But not to quibble. Big Alex set a pretty good quiz and the hash team, after a few recent humiliations at the hands of the teachers, roared back with a vengeance. Victory felt especially sweet as one of our key members - he shall remain nameless here - had decided to desert our three-man team and join another. And not just any other, but the remains of our nemesis, the dreaded teachers.
1972

We were especially gratified to see the formation of the first women's team we can recall at Quiz Night. While they didn't win they did have the best team name of the night: "Show Us the Front Side of Your Bum".

Meanwhile, modest in victory as he is graceful in defeat, honorary hash team captain Egghead simply commented, "Nyaa-nyaa-nyaa-nyaa! Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!"
