...near-mutiny is averted only by the sun's timely appearance. "This," proclaims Noah as the youngsters dance about him, "is the Golden Age. This is the FIRST DAY!" But darkling, doubtful Ham is not satisfied. What day is it, he wants to know. Is it Monday? Wednesday? Sunday? As close as he ever permits himself to come to impatience, Noah protests against this infernal nagging of him and God over trivial questions. Such inquisitiveness is bound to annoy the Creator.

This reviewer may never again appreciate the trio, even on the air, which is a loss to the ham industry. There is also a clever marionette show, which kindly raises the curtain so that the audience may at last see how the intricate system of wires manage the dolls...
...Freshmen football captain, Arthur Oakes, will appear in the 155-pound division; Waldemar Wysoki, Freshman center, in the 165-pound, and "Ham" Turner is the 225-pound heavyweight. Other entrants are Cunningham, 115 pounds; Sherlock, 125; Stuart, 135; Ellis...
