Returning lettermen include Charles McClennen, Captain Rob Russell, Jim MacMahon, Marten Greenacre, Bob Clement, Chris Hamilton, Forney Hutchinson, Mike MacKenzie, and Dave Straus. The only seniors are Captain Russell, Clement, and Cox Hamilton. One of Cabot's primary pre-season problems was greatly relieved when junior Dick Masland, who stroked the varsity heavyweights early last season as a 168-pounder, decided to row lightweights...
...member of the musteline family (mink, marten, mongoose, badger, weasel, skunk), the otter is essentially "a big water weasel"-most northern breeds reach the size of a spaniel, but some in South America grow as big as a seal. He looks like a giant, furry snail. He swims as a swallow flies, all liquid grace. He runs like something squeezed out of a tube, and whenever he sits down he looks like a six-year-old girl in her mother's fur coat-in some species his hide is so loose that it hangs down in folds and even...
...night last week Jan Drake draped herself in her best stone-marten stole and joined Little Augie for drinks at the Copa, then went on to a spaghetti house (Husband Drake had a nightclub engagement in Washington).

Using colored abstractions in the manner of most avant-garde films, it is much more successful in putting over ideas by patterns and symbols than the majority of attempts to use this format...
...this cheery note that Perri is introduced to the hard facts a squirrel is up against in the world of Walt Disney. She is mauled by a goshawk, ripped up by a weasel, and almost torn to pieces by a marten-a lean and eager individual with a bright red tongue that lolls out in an unpleasant way. A forest fire burns down her house, and she winds up in the middle of a beaver pond, riding on the back of a bobcat. On top of all this, Perri will probably not get much sympathy from the critics...
