The Spike or Victoria University College Review June 1925

The Extravaganza

The Extravaganza

The Extravaganza for this year was a distinct improvement upon those of the past two years, for there was none at all. We understand that one was submitted and rejected. The reasons for its rejection we are not in a position to judge; we hope they were based upon a more acute sense of 'Varsity requirements in this matter than has been displayed for some time past. While we hold to the sneaking belief that the College can muster the ability to transform effectively any material offered it for the purpose of a Capping burlesque, at the same time we cannot but applaud the apparent decision of the Stud. Ass. to do without an extravaganza altogether rather than produce one outside of Capping time. This, together with our emancipation from the fetich of the Paid Professional Producer, makes it safe to predict an early return to the Capping extravaganza of tradition. Some of the verse in this issue appears to indicate the presence among us of a student uncommonly capable of composing one.
