Here, too, we find Miss Jane Jessup, photographed still ardently cheering for Princeton's football team—a charming picture indeed. “Oh, here’s Boh Sccbeck and George Scheitlin, editing Esquire. You remember the duel they fought over the title of best-dressed gentleman since Lucius Beebe. And speaking of Esquire, there’s Duff Brown, the inimitable comic, heading their staff of zany cartoonists and humorists which also includes Ronny Miller. Mori kaish. John Banta. Among the magazine's columnists we see names such as Bill W cygand and Sid Frank, imagine! “Hey, look!
