...made the mistake of getting it over the plate to such a group of muscle merchants as Frisco Caspar, Flung Huey, and Greg Grupp. Bevies of base hits bounded through, around, and over such 'poon boys as Utrid, Tink, Poop, Twit, and Cuddlepoop. Since Feller missed his traveling connections, the entire CRIMSON executive board bore mound burdens...
...River. The offered role turned out to be that of Fletcher Christian, in a film to be called In the Wake of the Bounty. In an old blond wig ("which made me look like a harlot") he swaggered for a week or so at $5 a day on the poop of a grounded H. M. S. Bounty on rockers. After the completion of the film, the impresario hit upon a great publicity stunt. Errol was called back to meet, fresh off an island steamer, a woolly young native in a seagoing cap and carrying a hand of bananas. To Errol...
Everyone, deep down inside, wishes he could swashbuckle. It's probably something left over from childhood, when we thumbed Howard Pyle's "Book of Pirates," and imagined ourselves standing on the poop-deck, armed to the teeth. The next best thing, of course, is watching somebody else do it. This is what makes Cecil DeMille's "The Buccaneer," now at the University, such a thoroughly delightful picture.

...young folks start a B. U. D. C. (Back Up Donkin Club). Things get pretty tense. The headmaster abolishes the school regatta, and Donkin packs up to leave. Only in the nick of time is he reinstated, and the oldest minx marries the shy music instructor, Philip ("Poop"), who calls his baby grand piano "B. G." For the final curtain Donkin stands alone in his study listening to the boys ("Old Crump," "Bimbo," "Flossie," and their pals) singing Auld Lang Syne...
...their morning mail an illustrated brochure entitled "A CRUISE FROM HONG KONG TO PARIS ABOARD AN OCEAN-GOING NING PO JUNK. It is the idea of a few men who have sailed together before. They need a few additional subscribing shipmates." Subscription for a six-month cruise in the poop of a Chinese junk: $3,000 in advance. Not quite so mad as it sounded was the Ning Po Junk expedition. It was a bitter blow to the proud 18th Century shipbuilders of Britain and the U. S. to discover that the cliff-sided, lattice-sailed junks of China could...
