Moppets of New Haven, Conn.'s Truman Street School last spring pasted up a scrapbook of maps and pictures of the U. S. and the U. S. S. R. and sent it to Moscow. There it found its way to Soviet School No. 25 and there last week alert New York Herald Tribune Correspondent Ralph W. Barnes found poring over it a sandy-haired twelve-year-old with a great name. The youngster was Vassily ("Vasya") Iosifovich Stalin, in a neat blue double-breasted jacket and a red tie. Close-cropped fair hair, pale face and lively eyes marked...
...Correspondent Barnes the Communist-primed pupils in No. 25 sharply criticized the New Haven scrapbook last week. They pointed to a crayon map on which they said the Ukraine had been incorrectly drawn-a charge hotly denied in New Haven next day by the drawer, Moppet Walter Matwych whose parents are Ukrainian. Leafing on through the scrapbook, the Moscow children pointed disapprovingly to a pasted-in-picture of Pilgrim Fathers giving Red Indians a turkey dinner on the first Thanksgiving Day. "Quite capitalistic!" they commented, "Quite bourgeois! Here the white colonists are fraternizing with the natives, but not long afterward...
...Crimson, the Widener Library, athletes, tutors, students, socialites, exams, waiters-on-table, the clubs, lectures, Harvard's golden mean ("Three C's and a D and keep out of the newspapers"), its buildings, traditions, dreams-all these and more Author Weller has pasted up in his college scrapbook.

In Frisco Jenny, Ruth Chatterton lives in California and acts as a procuress-first to provide bread and mittens for her small illegitimate whippersnapper; then, from force of habit. While branching out with a profitable bootlegging business, Frisco Jenny keeps a scrapbook of her son's doings. When this scrapbook reveals that he is running for district attorney of San Francisco at the age of 25, audiences can foresee what will follow: a courtroom scene in which Jenny is denounced by her son (Donald Cook), condemned to be hanged...
...outgrowth of the defunct Collegiate World, College Humor began in 1921 as a quarterly, the staff & equipment consisting chiefly of Publisher Lansinger, shears and pastepot. It was merely a scrapbook of cartoons and jokes from U. S. under graduate funny-books. In 1923 long, lean, curly-headed "Swanie" Swanson, fresh out of Grinnell College where he edited the Malteaser, got a job as Mr. Lansinger's secretary. He worked up to the editorship, was largely responsible for the editorial polish which College Humor later acquired as a monthly magazine of original fiction, articles, drawings, interspersed with clippings from the campus...
