June 1940 THE SENIOR MIRROR Page Three GARDENA PLUNGE OPENS The long wished for Gardena plunge will be opened tomorrow, Emily Cost, swimming instructor, said yesterday. Miss Cost will soon give an exhibition of the famous swimming stroke with which she gathered laurels for the United States at last year ' s Olypmic tournament. RUGBY FOOTBALL FOR GIRLS Florence Roberts, Vice-Principal of Alamazoo High, advocated the introduc- tion of French Rugby football for girls, into the school as it is rougher than the other kind. Miss Roberts was heartily supported by Kuny Kobata, coach, and all the other members of the school board. REVOLUTION IN PRINTING TRADE EXPECTED Mr. Eppie Gomez, for years the fore- most printer in America, has just invented a marvellous printing machine, 6 by 12 which does all the work of printing a big city daily, simply by pressing the button. Mr. Gomez is to be congratu- lated on his gift to humanity. DEMURE JOCKEY WINS NOTORIETY Horse racing has been completely revo- lutionized in the last ten years with the advent of women jockeys. Madelyn Howard, one of the best little jockeys in this country, has never yet been beaten. SOCIETY DESIGNER TO WED A great sensation was created when Mile. Dot McCoy, formerly known as a manhater at Gardena High, finally con- sented to marry the famous Marquise de La Faise of Paris. She will not give up her Costume Shop, from which many of the latest creations have come. HARD WORK BRINGS SUCCESS After many a hard knock such as be- ing kicked out of stage doors, Maxine Young was accidently knocked into a rehearsal of Artists and Models. The director, Kenneth Harrison, amused at her extraordinary excitement and exhor- bitant amount of pep over the whole af- fair made her leading jazz dancer of the production called Artichokes and Mules, written by Lucille Leonard. ATHLETIC NEWS The 1940 Olypmic team was easily cho- sen this year because there were so many stars who have been sent out by that noted track mentor, George Freeman, as- sisted by Charles Wright. The men that Mr. Freeman is drilling into perfect shape are as follows: Vidal Ayala as captain of the Olym pic basket- ball squad; Edgar Duggen, that well- known collegiate basketball and baseball star is to be the captain of the United States, Olympic baseball nine; Isami Min- ami is to be Ayala ' s co-partner in the berth of forward on the basketball quin- tet with Kenneth Rose also playing; Firpo Smith is to be the mainstay of the United States football squad, and the greatest honor ever bestowed upon a loyal son of Gardena is to be given Alfred Willoughby who will be the captain of the Olympic track team. He has had two years of high school competition in the middle-distance runs. He has won the C-C Pyle cross country cup two years in succession and promises to be a high scorer in the Olym- pic Games. These men have all received their foundations from the able coach Freeman and are now under his supervis- ion to be put in tip-top shape. The way things look now, it will be im- possible for the other countries competing in the Olympic Games to blow dust through our defense of the championship.

Page Two THE SENIOR MIRROR June 1940 WONDERFUL OPERATION PER- FORMED BY BOB MOBARRY Many lives were doubt- less saved by the discov- ery of Bob Mobarry that by dissecting the Zulli- chau vulnerary verte- brarterial, the sufferer would instantly be ve- loute. Dr. Mobarry was assisted in this experiment by Anna, and Elizabeth Lack, the most skillful surgical nurses in the profession. THE SOCIETY FOR THE DESTRUC- TION OF WOMEN ENTERS SCOTT; PLATFORM MADE OF WOOD Since the split up of the powerful Women ' s party, Raymond Scott is being entered by the woman haters faction as a dark horse candidate for President. He was nominated by Bill Bowser, chair- man if the convention. Mr. Scott at- tained great eminence as a basketball player while at Gardena High, and if he is defeated he will wring the editor ' s neck. Free Booklet to be given away! Mana- ging Men and Their Money, by Lottie Moore. Miss Moore, a former Gardena student, is quite an authority on affairs of the heart and is always willing to ad- vise any love-stricken people. Two of America ' s most noted cyclists sailed for Europe today to compete in the Olympic games at Rome. Catherine O ' Haver and Hattie Humble are expected to bring home the bacon — and their bi- cycles. Mrs. Clifton Wolf, formerly Betty Ligon, surprised all her friends recently by the announcement that she was going to be a cooking teacher. Betty was trained to teach art, but after her mar- riage she became so domesticated that she loves to cook! The latest novel of the season, Up the North Pole, by Marion Johnston, is a climbing success. The experiences of the author in the frozen north are there- in narrated. Wilma Smith is writing a movie scenario on this book, in which she will star Jo Rehor, that dizzy little blond, and Dick Means handsome butter and egg man. GREAT THINGS COME OF HUMBLE BEGINNINGS Beginning as a little, poorly paid usher in a popular play- y house, Ruth Jacobson, today j reached the heights by being acclaimed by all critics as the greatest theatrical find of the day. Miss Jacobson was given a chance to play the lead when the leading lady was struck by a taxi. A path of roses stretches before her. SOCIETY NOTES By Lois Boehlert, Soc. Rep. The women ' s branch of the Young Men ' s Aid Society, whose president is Fred Detmers, held its first open meet- ing in the Upperary-foothills last night. Matuie Yanaga took charge while Clara White, and Tressa Putnam aided in keep- ing order. Everyone was dressed in fan- tastic garb and came in aeroplanes. The feature event in the annual mid- winter carnival when the Pacific is frozen over, will be an ice-skate race to Hono- lulu. Some of the nervy sex who are expected to participate are Leola Sutter, Louise Ernst, and Alphonsine Reming- ton, trained by Chiyano Nishikawa. Miss Vera Fravel, secretary to the Mayor of New York left today for Wai- kiki beach on a vacation. She plans to stay for a few days in New Orleans to see Roper Crawford ' s far famed side- show which contains some of the greatest freaks in captivity. No Gardena stu- dents are in it, I believe. Elizabeth Felt will arrive here tomor- row with her trick horses that are to be used in the Tia Juana roundup. Many of Miss Felt ' s trained animals are able to pilot aeroplanes in which they con- duct their mistress over land and sea to her many homes in all parts of the world. Ellen Crandall assists her as trainer. SHARP MUSICIANS THRILL MANY FLAT AUDIENCES The radio program last night was es- pecially brilliant due to the stellar effort of Maxine Grace, famous cornetist. The Alaskan Mammy, fox trot certainly got them all of a shiv-and-quiv, said Pat Bow- en, radio announcer. Page Nineteen
