The boys soon learn that the girls' train has been wrecked. Elaine appeared a little later thinking she was Gwen: Of course, she thought she was engaged to Marvin instead of Taylor. In the meantime Mar- vin's aunt, Miss Ellis, and Elaine's mother, Mrs. Wood- bury, came to the hotel to try to prevent the elopmentg they discovered that they are old school chums. Naturally they favored the mixed-up state of affairs in which Marvin and Elaine became greater friends. After many complications, Taylor and Gwen became disgusted with the whole situation and left. Obviously the two weddings were cancelled, since lone party of each disappeared. But the remaining half of each wedding party was none too sad, for they recognized the beginning of a beautiful friendship?

HISTORY STUDENTS HEAR ADDRESS OF YOUTHS FROM 'GERMANY By Janet Bond Four students, Janet Saleeby, Janet Bond, Eugene Brown, and Ronald Windham attended an assembly at Sophie Wright High School on Monday, May 5th, to hear two German youths who are touring the country under the auspices of Freedoms Foundation. The-se boys, Wolfgang Bernhardt, of Berlin, and Wolff gang von Kaltenborn of Kassel, spoke to the students of various high schools of New Orleans, to impress upon them the importance of the free way of life which Americans enjoy, by telling of personal experiences under the shadow of Totalitarianism, where personal freedom does not exist. Each high school in New Orleans was invited to send four students to the conference. The students from Behrman were seniors selected by the teachers of the United State-s History classes The program at Wright began in the High School auditorium where the students were addressed by several dignitaries, among whom were Mr. William Fitzpatrick, editor of the New Orleans States, and Pulitzer Prize winnerg and the Reverend James Greeley, S. J. Both of these men are Freedoms Foundation award winners. The German boys then spoke to the audience, telling something about themselves and stressing the threat to feedom found in Communist Rus- sia todayg they emphasized the vigilance which American people must employ to guard against this threat. After -the auditorium program, students met with the boys in the library to discuss conditions in Germany today. ' The Freedoms Fotmdation sponsored a contest throughout Germany in which students were to write a one-page essay on' the meaning of the word freedom Fifty 'winners were selected and sent to tour the United States. Bernhardt and von Kaltenbofrn fwere two of the winners and came to America to tell us what freedom mean's to them. ll il nn -1 I ull 31 - si?
