Last but not the least in the current flock of Harvard theatricals comes the North House's production of George Herman's A Company of Wayward Saints. The comedy is not great dramatic art, nor does it aspire to be. Shying away from the deliberately abstruse and intellectual, this North House company holds to the more modest yet honorable goal of pleasant entertainment. Its lack of pretense serves it well; the evening is filled with the uncontrolled laughter that such middle-level comedy dreams of achieving...

Gone from last year's team are four top seniors, including Jon Enscoe, Dave Pottetti and Tom Spengler, but the harriers should be well-balanced again this season. Seniors Mike Koerner and Bob Seals are joined by a flock of sophomores, many of whom were injured during their first varsity season in 1970-71.
