...vaudeville numbers, and there are some pleasant songs (best: Kokomo, Indiana). Brash Dan Dailey (Father) has a personality as sharp and convincing as a breath of stage-door air: he can really sing, really dance and really act. Miss Grable can sing too; her pleasure in playing a generous and happy woman is contagious enough to make up for her shortcomings as an actress. What she can really do, of course, is dance. And she still holds undisputed title to the most gorgeous legs in the business...
...vinegar than honey, paid her native land a pretty tribute as she sailed for Britain after another visit home: "Despite the radio, movies, and the selling here-some of them would sell their own grandmother if it would do any good-the people are the soundest, sanest and most generous people in the world."

Such exorbitant charges as $30 for running off the stencils of the Album's mailing list, general milking of graduating classes for every cent of the wasteful costs of Class Day exercises, leave rancid tastes that are bound to linger through the years. And it is still expected that, through an almost dead class loyalty...
