Lampy's latest venture, the current Dramatic Number, is a distinct improvement over certain earlier numbers which unkind critics in these columns have seen fit to treat with contumely and disrespect. Nevertheless it reminds one, vaguely enough perhaps, of the little girl in the nursery rhyme, who when she was good was very, very good, and when she was had was--punk.

...Miss Cleveland, Mr. Jewett has made a distinct "find". Her acting in the title role, though somewhat unpolished, shows clearly the result of her conscientious study during the past year or two.

...their homes. To accomplish this all special police are to be withdrawn, the republican army is to be disbanded, and in place of these organizations there is to be a regularly organized and uniformed body of police composed equally of Protestants and Roman Catholics.

...events this year are the javelin and discus throws, in which the University has a distinct advantage due to the presence of a separate coach for these events, Mr. Jakko Miccola, a former Finnish athlete. It is with an aim to secure more candidates that Coach Mikkola is conducting a series of informal competitions. As a result of these contests, R. M. Greenidge '24, H. C. Janin '22, and Malcolm Morse '24 have proved their superiority in the javelin throw while C. C. Carpenter '24 has been attaining the best results with the discus...
