P.O. Square Efforts

P.O. Square Efforts

Capping week started well with the speeches in Post Office Square. The selected orators in thir costumes mounted the lorry at the Cappicade Shop. Imagine their surprise when they found a vast multitude awaiting them in Post Office Square.

And then the fun started and wasn't it fast and furious. The demagogues harangued the gaping populace and held them enthralled with their flow of rhetoric and wit. Interjections were hurled from right and left. Hecklers were summarily dealt with. The prize episode was when Bob Edgley ejected an undesirable from the lorry after a considerable struggle.

"Another Varsity student sent down" was Malc Mason's appropriate comment.

As the main object of the show was to publicize extrav. the speakers by devious methods proved conclusively that this years extrav. was to be the best on record.

The public liked it.

The speakers were:

Malc Mason as (a) Mrs. Steer; (b) General Franco; Bob Edgley as Stanley Baldwin; Tom McGlynn as Chairman of the Non-Intervention Committee; Keating as Leon Trotsky.
