...succession of male intruders, a bawdy denouement--and the lights fade mercifully. In a trice the stage is re-illuminated to reveal what is programmatically termed the Beauty Chorus industriously kicking away. And here we have an amusing spectacle, for it is quite palpable even to a jaundiced eye that many of these charmers have not been long on the boards.

...Christmas vacation to cover two weeks, and the elimination of some of the one-day holidays to make up for such an extension would be desirable." About the same time members of the Student Council said that that body intended to consider a proposed reapportionment of holidays, with an eye toward recommending the suggested change.
