Remember that Miranda was a reporter for a rival paper, The Atomic News, owned by Marvin Snyder. Feeling hungry and in need of energy, I entered Coast's modern ice cream parlor, owned by Nathan Karsh. I ordered a fLarryJ Pear-sall sundae, and was waited on by Irene Levonian. The sundae was all lshy-Kanian. At that moment newsboy Marty Ansoorian was selling the latest issue of the Atomic News, and the front page surprised me, for the story which was stolen from me was not printed. Now intent on the idea of seeing Miranda, I started on my way. As I entered the building of the Atomic News, I spied Rosemary Hoffenberg, known through- out the world for her tremendous height, and a group of howling girls around the well-known French actor, Frank Abrahamian. I got up to room W. 1950 by means of a Knapp elevator run by Marilyn Lee. Upon arriving at Miranda's office, I was ushered in by his private secretary, Audrey Smylie. As I looked around the room, I then knew the reason behind my story's being stolen but not printed. It was a cover-up. Miranda was working for 218 and dangling from the ceiling was 259's football pennant. I snatched the story from his desk and ran to the Daily Darrow building, where it was given a first page banner headline. The next day I picked up the paper. The headlines read: Winter '50 Graduates Make Good in World. EDITOR'S NOTE: Any resemblance between the foregoing article and Danny Pogoler's original version is purely co- incidental! THIS TERM'S COUNCIL A successful Big and Little Sister party and luncheon, a beautiful installation ceremony, and an enioyable Council luncheon, featured another active semester of the Girls' Council, sponsored by Mrs. Catherine Brown and Miss Mary Helms. They also sponsored publication of Poems of Thankfulness at Thanksgiving time. Elected officers are Shirley Bennion, President, Rosalie Gross, Scribe of the Manor, Betty Todd, Mistress of the Wardrobe, Helen Stras- ser, Keeper of the Insignia, and Susan Bichachi, Lady, of the Manor. Most memorable activity of the joint councils this year was the Log Cabin Christmas for which all members ioined with Cabinet to collect usable toys and clothing, worn but wearable, for needy children of Kentucky. Chief innovation of the Boys' Council this year was the launching of the Big Nine and Little Seven Party, initiated with the intention of promoting good fellowship between the A-9's and incoming B-7's. Patterned after the tradi- tional girls' party it met with great success and will prob- ably be continued throughout the coming semesters. Boys' Council officers are Kenneth Johnson, president, Jerome Franklin, vice-president, and Jimmy Kimsey, secre- tary. Sponsors are Mr. Karl Lovejoy and Mr. Don Campbell. ,.,.
