Sophomore Kat Sweet has also joined in the mix after a successful rookie year on the Harvard women’s hockey team...
Notable freshman performances also came from winger Kat Sweet (10-8-18) and defender Ashley Banfield (3-9-12). Sweet’s strong play brought her up to the power play line by season’s end. Banfield, injured for much of the year, displayed some fancy moves and a scoring touch upon returning to the lineup...
...poetry of "Krazy Kat" goes beyond its ambiguity of meaning. Herriman's images and language make for pure, direct pleasure.

At least now we will be able to judge for ourselves whether Gilbert Seldes was correct when he wrote in 1924: "Krazy Kat, the daily comic strip of George Herriman is, to me, the most amusing and fantastic and satisfactory work of art produced...
