Like its Broadway predecessor, the new movie called Tea and Sympathy concerns a prep school housemaster and his wife and a student whose name is Tom Lee. Both tell of the suffering felt especially by these three when the boy is accused homosexuality. But the resemblance doesn't go too far.

This is to thank whom it may concern for the H-R Mixer. I enjoyed it immensely and love all Harvard men dearly--especially the drunken football player who thickly asks you "Ain't they got no rock and roll in this here town?"; the prep school boy who arrives with more money than manners and will no doubt leave with more of the former and even less of the latter; the Big Man from Texas who tells you how to remember his name by shortending it to A.
