Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol. 7, No. 3. May 3, 1944
[Introduction]
Has V.U.C. at last arisen from its war-time stupor? There are signs of it, chiefly in that it is again producing a full-length Extravaganza. These primitive orgies, political satires, song and dance shows, pornographic pandemonia, whatever you like to call them, have sounded something like fairy-tales to those who have come to the College in the past two years. But now, at last, they are about to taste of the real nectar, in all its pristine glory.
They are going to learn the ancient but unwritten laws that regulate Extravs, and, even if they don't take part, many of them who come from the country are going to see one for the first time. Not, of course, that seeing a work of art such as this it anywhere near as pleasing as actually producing it, but it's the next best thing, as we hope the residents of Wellington realise next week.
