But senior Kitty Strong rallied about her a staff, a new printer and format, and the unquenchable bird left its ashy tomb once again. With Marvin Rowe as its living conscience , protesting each sin of alliter- ation, Jeanne Theis, Larry Weiscrantz, Sue hHarwIg, and Johnny Rosselll as junior edi- tors, the Phinx flew out the sweltering
