...musical technician Composer Hindemith can give cards & spades to most of his contemporaries. In 1936 he was to have introduced one of his larger compositions at a London broadcast, but the death of King George V caused the British Broadcasting Corp. to ask for more appropriate music. Hindemith, who was to appear as viola soloist, could find nothing appropriate to play. Two days before the broadcast he gave up the search, decided to compose something himself for the occasion. Result: his Funeral Music, composed in a single...
...Crooner Alice Faye differs from operatic Soprano Kirsten Flagstad, so differs the beauteous yellow parlor canary from that less spectacular-looking musical technician, the Glucke Roller Canary.

To the citizen who does not want his picture in print, the news photographer is Public Pain in the Neck No. 1; to others he is the symbol of opportunity. His body belongs to the city editor, he has no soul, and his life is lived between the pulmotor and Paradise. But without him all news would be colorless and the newspaper just a broad expanse of funereal type...
...Richter '40, a conscientious technician who held down the 126-1b. job for the Yardlings, and Frank Bosler '38 are fighting for the 135-1b. berth, with Bosler now ruling favorite. Weak point in the outfit is 126-1b, division in which two Sophomores, Jim Sears and Louis Daily have been working together. Daily, a Freshman substitute has been able to keep the last year's 118-pounder on the ground, but Johnson expressed confidence that Sears will improve...
