Eastward Ho. San Francisco's 49-year-old American-Hawaiian Steamship Co. will move its headquarters to New York, leave its West Coast business in the hands of Williams, Dimond & Co., a wholly owned subsidiary.

But with Hitler's shadow coming east against the sun, it began to look as if others besides Warren Magnuson might begin to think about Alaska...
...cast rises above its amateur limitations in its opening number, "Three Little Section Men," which features Lee A. Dimond '41, William D. Schall '41, and Stern as three fugitives from sex. To another catchy tune, Edwin G. Eklund '42, Thomas Eliot '41 and Julian Sobin '41, the "DeWolfe Street Debutantes" beg to be passed...
