...musical numbers of "The White Elephant" are singularly good this year. Features of the musical program are "Come Back to Yokahoma Bay," written by S. P. Sears '17, which will be sung by O. G. Kirkpatrick '17, and "Venetian Melody," sung by a quartet composed of O. G. Kirkpatrick '17, F. H. Cabot '17, C. H. Hodges '17, and E. Douglas...
