To give the tabloid zip, Connolly turned it over to onetime Herex Managing Editor Walter Howey, immortalized as the prototype of all man-eating managing editors by Playwrights Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur...
...curriculum. Last year 35 of the school's 231 boys averaged 90 or better in the school examinations.
