Clark Gable represents the cabbages as Harry Van, hoofer and friend of the Countess. The tone of Sherwood's play has been...
...Sunday there will be an all-day outing. In addition there will be extra-curricular activities, "but it should be added that no extra credits toward the degrees of A.H.C. can be granted on the records of the Secretary!"
