Tonight is the Junior Promenade. The class of 1926 and its chosen partners will swing to the rhythmic measures that once more liven Memorial. Once more will the dusty crannies and long-shadowed nooks reecho to light laughter and the patter of satin slippers on a polished floor. To each son of Harvard, the Prom--the prom of his own class--comes but once in a lifetime. But Mem has seen many--Mem has witnessed many a class at its revelry. Perhaps this is the basis of a warmer hold on old graduates than the memory of the numerous meals...
Tremendous crowds lined the streets as troops advanced along them to the doleful strains of the Dead March, their rifles reversed, their legs doing a slow, rhythmic, painful imitation of the goosestep.

It is an artistic effort which has, at last, been realized; and the cinema becomes, as Jean Cocteau says, 'the tenth muse...
...Crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch!" Outside the walls of Paris, the red scoria cinders of the running-track, in Colombes Stadium, ground out a rhythmic accompaniment to the gay, brassy blaring of four military bands, as some 2,000 feet, native to the soil of 45 nations, circumambulated the arena in unison. Ahead of all other feet, moved two belonging to Gaston Doumergue, President of the French Republic. He was parading to "open"* the eighth Olympic Games. "Flags and fair ladies waved. Cheer upon cheer rang...
