Many a Michigander brushed up his tuxedo, washed his car, made a surreptitious trip to Canada for a bottle of cheer to share with the girl friend from Detroit at the J-Hop, junior class dance.

Two days before the affair one might have heard the young men of Phi Delta Theta singing...
...person who allegedly passed $10,000 to Tammany's agent. The judgeship resigned was that of Francis Xavier McQuade, whose part-ownership of and executive position with the New York "Giants" (baseball team) was considered prejudicial.

Promptly at one o'clock in the morning the white gloved hand of the cadet officer of the day goes up, and the insistent roll of a drum shatters the beauty of "Army Blue". The next day the Corps moves back to barracks, camp is dismantled, the "cows...
...Indoor Hop. When Inventor Maitland Barkelew Bleecker brought forth the helicopter on which he had been working for four years with Curtiss engineers (TIME, June 30) a fault in the lubricating system prevented flight tests. Last week changes had been completed, but conditions were not yet right for outdoor flying. Impatient, youthful Inventor Bleecker tied a rope to the keel of the little machine inside its hangar at Valley Stream, Long Island.
