Cartoonist Searle studied at the Technical School, whose windows overlooked the County School tennis courts. As these also served as a playground and basketball courts, there was very little time during the day that these courts were vacant ... so Mr. Searle had ample opportunity to look for ghoulish girls. As a contemporary of Mr. Searle's and an "old girl" of the high school, that knock-kneed, spotty-faced gargoyle wearing glasses, in the chem lab of St. Trinian's [see cut] could quite possibly...
...Wright translated his own basic principles into practice could be seen in a big, retrospective show of photos, plans and models, on display last week in a giant, slab-roofed pavilion -he designed for the purpose on a vacant Manhattan lot adjoining the Guggenheim Museum.

...will attest, there is nothing worse than an empty seat. And the 30,000-odd empty seats which will line the inside of the Harvard Stadium today are testimonial not to Davidson's winless record or afternoon parietal rules, but instead to just poor scheduling. The seats will be vacant as they were against Ohio University because only 10,000 people are interested in watching such a football game. Undergraduates will attend primarily because of the free ticket plan; the absence of young ladies, however, may make the Saturday night dining hall look about as crowded as a Sunday morning...
