Under John Donovan '22, the Sophomore coach, and M. A. Cheek '26, the head coach. I spent one of the most pleasant football seasons of my life. Games and scrimmages were frequent, and everyone played. There was one short trip for each team...
Memorial Hall was gloomy. Its loca tion placed it a long walk from many dormitories, particularly those in the Mt. Auburn St. district. The choice of food was limited, the meal hours not elastic. It was expensive. No wonder the cafeterias lured the students away. They were more pleasant, were more conveniently located, offered a wider variety of food and meal hours, and were cheaper...

It' splashes the stage with prismatic voluptuousness. It jollies the audience. Charles ("Chic") Sale appears in Yankee caricatures, a pleasant departure from the stale Jewish, Irish, Italian, Russian, Negro takeoffs. His comedy is the show's high spot. There is a funny skit wherein a neglected wife rebels against the oft-repeated "Good night, Mother of Three" adieus of a husband who goes out every evening. She retaliates with...
