Heading the cast of veteran as well as new talent are R. H. Booth '27 , the hero in the role of Normal Rockwell, the wealthy easterner, and Howard Whitmore '29 as the pulchritudinous Mary Ogden, heroine of the great open spaces. Both Booth and Whitmore starred in a pitching role, respectively, on last year's University and Freshman baseball team, and their performances thus far in "Shooting the Works" proves the range of their versatility...

...having at it disposal less space, must meet a unique situation. It has been trying throughout its existence to find a general plan to suit a college public. On its face the task does not appear great. If space is narrow and the public limited, proportions at least remain normal. This would be fundamentally true also if it were evident upon what grounds of limitation, the choice of books should proceed.
