...brawny arms and deep-tanned, seamy face, most observers would conclude that here was a man who, if he painted at all, would do something like the Rivera murals of Industry downstairs in the Institute's main court - hard, realistic, packed with sharp detail, maplike in their bright, crowded colors (TIME. April 3, 1933). But Painter Carroll's frescoes were simple, subdued, purely decorative idealizations. One of them, called Morning, showed three gracile, rosy-fleshed women floating in a pale blue, white-clouded sky. Another, Afternoon, showed the same figures wan and drooping in a nimbus of yellow...
With the best material at hand that he has had to work with in his three years as golf coach here, Clark Hodder looks forward to a bright season, overshadowed only by the Yale blue.

In addition to being, accurately speaking, the most popular cinemactress, Shirley Temple is the ablest song-plugger in Hollywood. Sheet music sales on her songs, like Polly Wolly Doodle and On the Good Ship Lollipop, are over 400,000 copies each...
While repainting Lowell House's tall Tower recently, the members of the Maintenance Department were puzzled to find a bright new arrow driven deeply into the woodwork.
