Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol. 1, No. 9 June 01, 1938

United we Stand

United we Stand.

The Extravaganza as a whole had the very great merit of being a co operative and not a one-man show. It also had the merit that every word in the speeches and songs was audible. I was not lucky enough to have a full copy of the "Cappicade" magazine with the words of the songs but I did not miss any during the singing. This is very creditable when I recall that it was traditional for Extravaganza choruses and speeches to be inaudible beyond the frist three rows of the stalls; gallery patrons, particularly in the Town Hall, had to be content with watching wordless antics. While this year's show may not sway a general election or build a new students' block, judging by the size and enthusiasm of the audience it may do something towards achiev ing both of these ends.
