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. In many respects hers was a difficult part to play; it could have easily been made ridiculous or unduly stiff, but with the exception of her song in the second act, which was poorly executed and entirely out of place, her performance was far better than could be expected from one of her limited experience.

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...
