Extravaganza Time

Extravaganza Time

We're in the thick of it again—that, perhaps, happiest, gayest and altogether unique period which can only be appreciated fully by actual experience, that time to which participating students can in after years look back with very fond memories and regret that those days and nights cannot be relived—the 1937 Extrav. is here, and we wish all concerned the very best of luck and the successful climax their efforts desire.

You have to take part in this hectic period of rehearsals to realize what a really thrilling and enjoyable experience it all is. Academically speaking, it is waste of time. But this is one time when the true student says, "To hell with swot," leaps into things, gets to know other students more intimately than he would in a year or two of normal College life, gets lots and lots of fun out of living for two weeks in a rather unreal atmosphere of tyrannical producers, graceful limbed ballet girls, set against a background of music and theatricalism—and at the same time contributing to a production which, on the night, is an artistic triumph.

And those who are fortunate enough to be in the 1937 Show, have found this to be true. There is nothing to worry about as far as the Show is concerned. It is a good one, and the cast is doing it justice in full measure. What everyone else in the College has to worry about is will it be patronized to the extent that it deserves? Its merit commends a full house on every night. What are you doing about it? Have you told all your friends and relations about it? Have you made absolutely certain that the entire circle of friends you boast, be they few or many, will be there? If not, you jolly will get to it while the time is at hand. Make 1937 Cappicade the best ever. Remember—we have no desire to labour the point unduly—you will only be helping yourselves in the long run, for behind all is the Building Fund. Here's hoping. . . .
