In her broadcast to the na- tion last night, President Tietjen assured the people that she was only the first of a long line of fu- ture women Presidents. She at- tributed her dazzling political suc- cess to the fame and experience she gained while breaking the power of the notorious Hague regime in jer- sey City. ioi. EXPEDITION TO STRASPASNIO With the cheers of the crowds drowning out the roar of the pro- pellors and the hum of the engines, the Adventuring Wives, nee Shir- ley Burke and Nancy Mulford, fa- mous for exploding the theory that woman's place is in the home, took off at 2:42 yesterday afternoon in their aquamarine stratoship. This is the third of these world expedi- tions to hitherto uncharted spheres' and, like its predecessors, is designed l to promote interstratospherical re- lations. Miss Burke, acting in the capacity of interpreter, is prepared to translate anything the Straspas- nions have to say. Miss Mulford is the internationally famous aviatrix and her part in the expedition needs no comment. LTD..i FORMER HARTRIDGE BELLE BETROTHED QAPJ Nov. 8 - Nuptial cere- monies were held yesterday after- noon in The Little Church Around the Corner for jean Evans Mart- wick, in years passed holder of the coveted title of Miss Subways for the record-breaking time of three months. The groom is Cecil Q. Homelover III whose ancestors came over on the juneflower. Mr. Home- lover attended Pingry and Princeton and then entered the Bar. The bride was given in marriage by her father, former police commissioner of Plainfield, New jersey. QThis town may be found on a large map.J Friends and relatives com- mented on the patriotic aspect of the wedding. The bride saw red, wore white, and felt blue.

LADY WITHERSPOON ENTERTAINS At a garden party last Sunday Lady Witherspoon entertained royally at her country manor house With- outherforkf' On the velvety lawn peacocks and nobility strutted and prcened their luxurious plumage. ln the late afternon, the lords and ladies cast aside their lorgnettes and lowered their noses to push peanuts across the sloping downs. The hostess wore a gold lame tea gown topped by a familiar black and red plaid shirt which this reporter re- members from Lady Witherspoon's days in Hartridge cloisters when she was known as Mary Alden. PAGE TWENTY rugs BL tapestries Fly within ten days Your money back TURKISH baths and towels 982 Madison Avenue New York City CHEZ COANOVA PERSIAN I The opening of the new Madison Avenue salon for Turkish and Persian masterpieces is announced by the former ballerina, Mlle. J. Speer Coan, who made her debut dancing at the Roseland Ballroom in a startling dance of the l07 Veils to the tune of All or Nothing. ACTRESS PAROLED It was announced yesterday by the Warden of Hum-Hum-on-the Hudson that Bacall Bishop fknown to thc inmates as Bibib was released on parole having served only half of her six year sentence. Three years ago a jury charged her Qincluding state taxi with a murder which she didn't realize she was commit- ting. It all happened during a re- hearsal of a murder scene of the mystery thriller, The Pussy and the Sparrow. The gun was thought to be loaded with blank cartridges, but after the lea ling man fell to the floor, a bullet having pierced his heart, a very baffled actress found herself in need of explana- tions. A short time after Miss Bishop's conviction, the real mur- derer was discoveredg her understudy had objected to the leading man hav- ing five o'clock shadow at four. Bacall Bishop, in a statement to the press yesterday, seemed conbdent that, before long, she will return to Hollywood, her prison record but another episode in her dazzling career. -,0... NEW DRUG PERFECTED The new drug, hypnofezandi- thasia, comparable in potency only to penicillin, was perfected by the eminent psychiatrist, Dr. Ellen Fezandie. This amazing drug Qwith the help of the doctor's beautyj has the power to hypnotize patients so completely that it enables Dr. Fez- andie to control their thoughts and actions. Among her patients have been Gertrude Stein, Boris Karloff and Peter Lorre, who are living proof that the drug also has its disastrous effects. .-..0,., RADIO HIGHLIGHTS Once again last night, fans of the Hit Parade had a great thrill when Florencia Runyon gave a A I I I sparkling rendition of the week's top-notch extra, Saturday Night Isn't the Loneliest Night in the Week. Miss Runyon found herself crowned with the title of Mistress of Lucky Strike Extras when she replaced Ethel Smith a few months ago. Since that time, Miss Runyon's scintillating rhythm has kept her large audience on the edge of their seats. Among inner radio circles, rumor has been spreading of late that Miss Runyon may soon an- nounce her engagement to Mr. L. A. Speed Riggs of Goldsboro, North Carolina. io, SOCIAL NOTES In the spectacular annual dog show at Madison Square Garden, MufHn, won the coveted prize of a miniature silver cup in the shape of a fire hydrant for her unusual liver-colored markings spelling out P-E-N-S-A-C-O-L-A. Although her owner, Mrs. Thomas S. Bedlington, nee Barbara Joan Davis, was at first overcome with pride and joy, she was soon restored to hcr usual self and lavishly entertained the iudges and officials at her unique uptown penthouse fits walls are papered with old commutation ticketsj. The high spot of the evening came when Mrs. Bedlington sat down at her navy blue baby grand and played the Danny Boy Blues. PAGE TWENTY-ONE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT ART1cLE I.

November 17-Bad luck seems to run in streaks for today we played Kent Place and lost again! Let's hope for better luck next year. Score, 3-0. December 2-Alumnae-Varsity hockey game. Between the halves, the alumnae serenaded the undergraduates with some very witty original songs. After a riotous game the score came out 1-1. December 4-After a long tight with the Greens, the Whites succeeded in iolling the score up to 2-0 in their favor. February 21-The III's ran away with the honors in the championship class hockey game. The seniors were defeated and both teams played a goo-d game. February 22-Two sets of very exciting basketball games-one between the Varsity and the not-too-decrepit alumnae. the other between teachers and the sub-Varsity. The students outdid themselves. March 12-The Greens and Whites came out onto the basketball court, each team confident of its own victory. Although, at the announcement of the score, which was 30-28, the Green team went wild with triumph, there was a sombre note settling down over the two teams. The iinal basket, made by the Green team, was made after the time-keepers had called time. A re-game was scheduled to be played, score to be as of at the last of the first half. March 12-The haughty and contident V's strode out to meet the lII's, who were equally confident but perhaps not as haughty. The seniors won! March 21-The re-game between the Greens and the Whites was played before a feverish audience, and the Whites walked off with the victory. The score was 31-23. Congratulations to the Whites!

LITERARY X THIRD-FOURTH-FIFTH ACADEMIC PRIZE THEME THE WEDDING CAKE The telephone rang shrilly, breaking into the atmosphere of deep concentration in Mr. Townsend's office. Mrs. Townsend is on the phone, Mr. Townsend, his secretary announced. Wearily Mr. Townsend picked up the phone, knowing that some- thing was wrong, for why else would his wife call him at the oflice? Darling, I don't know what to do! Linda's wedding cake hasn't been delivered yet, and I'm so afraid they won't get it here in time for the wedding, so won't you please stop in at Scl1raf'ft's and pick it up for me? Mr. Townsend mumbled something in the affirmative, and hung up the receiver with a sigh. He purposely left his office earlier than usual that afternoon and made his way to Schrafft's. He unally got a girl to wait on ihim and explained to her about the order. She in turn explained to the manager, who located the cake. Then of course it had to be carefully wrapped, with a special wooden base, cardboard sections holding the tiers in place, and last of all cellophane wrapping from top to bottom. Thanking the girl for her patience, Mr. Townsend maneuvered his package through the revolving door. He proceeded to the bus terminal holding the cake well in front of him on the way, but since it was during the rush hour, he decided to wait rather than risk disaster. An hour later the crowd was considerably thinned, and Mr. Townsend clambered on board a Montclair bus. He went to the back of the bus and skillfully eased his bundle into a seat, remarking to a dark-eyed girl in the adjoining seat, I'm putting this in the seat and standing, 'cause I have to be very careful-it's a wedding cake. The girl's eyes immediately became dreamy, and several other passengers who had overheard the remark turned to look at the package fondly. Mr. Townsend took up his stand beside the cake, and the bus started off. Soon the bus began to fill up, and at one stop a busy little man got on and proceeded to make his way toward the back. If you'll put your package on the floor, I'll sit down in that seat if you don't mind. 'Tm sorry, but I'm entitled to one seat, and I'll use it for my package if I want, Mr. Townsend answered curtly. The little man, temporarily defeated, went to get the bus driver and dragged him to the back of the bus. This man won't put his package on the floor, and I want that seat. If anyone's going to sit in this seat, I'm going to be the one, but right now my package is going to stay there, because it's a wedding cake, and I don't want it bounced around, replied the irate Mr. Townsend. The little man made a movement toward the cake, but Mr. Townsend stopped him, saying, If you touch that cake, I'll push your face in. In the meantime, the bus driver had retired to the front leaving the arguk ment up to the two men. Almost all the passengers were beginning to take sides, and a middle-aged character remarked excitedly as the little man retreated to the front, He's PAGE FIFTY got no romance in his soul. The little man in the meanwhile was threatening the bus driver's job, but the passengers in the back, who apparently did have romance in their souls, got up a petition to protect the driver against this complaint. Things quieted down a bit. Then a lovely blond got on, and after the crank had whispered instructions in her ear, she made her way to the back and asked Mr. Townsend sweetly for the seat. His resistance was melting, and just as he was about to give in, the dark-eyed girl spoke up, Don't you give her the seat, now, and the stout man chimed in, I saw her talking to the little man. Shels nothing but a fifth columnist! The blond went back to the front, and the passengers eyed Mr. Townsend-some admir- ing and some glaring. A mousy man in the corner announced, This is my stop, but I'm going to stay and see this thing through. Finally it was Mr. Townsend's turn to get off. He picked up his package, but the stout man exclaimed, He'll trip you! Be careful now. Wait a moment, and I'll come along and guard you. Several other sympathetic passengers formed a bodyguard and ushered Mr. Townsend and his wedding cake safely to the door of the bus and waved him a friendly goodbye. Once inside his door, Mr. Townsend cautiously unwrapped the cake tier by tier and gazed at it in awe. Only one tiny orange blossom was slightly askewg otherwise it was perfect! Mr. Townsend sighed deeply. E. F., '45 THIRD-FOURTH-FIFTH ACADEMIC PRIZE POEM FREIGHT CARS The ponderous hulks of the freight cars Loomed purple against the pale bronze sun. Below these, slender reeds spired proud, Piercing the crisp blanket of snow. Gently their stalks swayed in the evening calm, But the immobile freight cars .... Who riveted them together? Who nailed the boards and fitted the wheels? Who built these patient monsters With the plan to desert them there? Somehow, as I look, I feel pity for these rusting, decaying giants, Destined to rumble along silver ribbons, Now proud and haughty next to the wispy reed. S. B., '45 For her play, That's the Way It Goes, Helen Buttfield received honorable mention. PAGE FIFTY-ONE FIRST-SECOND ACADEMIC PRIZE THEME THE FREEING OF THE YANKS The night was pitch-black. The sky stretched smoothly over the cool, damp earth, like a giant piece of black velvet tied to the earth and then billowed up till it stretched tight like a drum. There was no moon, if there had been, clouds would have been seen, sailing smoothly across the velvet, driven by a steady, moist breeze. The earth lay quiet, damp and dark, with only faint shadows to distinguish trees and bushes. It was still, but the silence was heavy, laden with waiting and awareness. Moving stealthily, their footsteps muffled by the soft, green moss, a group of men, whose shadows were distorted by heavy packs, guns and gear, sneaked through the jungle headed for a high ridge that circled a low valley. No one spoke, but occasional grunts were heard as the men untangled themselves from vines nature made especially to trip on. Leading the band of men was a short, stocky man obviously quite used to the jungle and the surrounding territory. For a man so short, he moved quickly and positively, making no sound. The men who followed him, so trustingly, were taller and very often had to bend low to get through tangled, overhanging passages that he could get through so easily. When they had been traveling about a quarter of an hour, the short man raised his hand in a signal to stop. The troops immediately halted and grouped around him. He spoke to them and told them to sit down on the nearest thing handy. Men, I know you have been anxious to know exactly what is going to happen and why you are here under strict orders to keep quiet. Now is the time to learn. He glanced briefly at the faces that watched him so intently. He continued, All of you know that about two miles from here there is a concentration camp where men, who were once like yourselves are imprisoned. We are going to free them. Again he stopped and peered at the troops through the gloom. Here is the plan. For three days prior to this Filipino guerrillas have filtered in around the camp, hiding in logs, in trees and 'most everywhere, moving so quietly that the japs don't even know they are there. There are at least five hundred of them, and they have been waiting for us to arrive. The plan is to gain the high ridge and literally swoop down on this garrison, killing every Jap you can see and freeing the prisoners. You are to work as a team, because if every man is for himself, the plan might fail, and we would lose some valuable information that these prisoners have. You see, many of them can speak Japanese and therefore can overheat strategic plans that would help us. Also, and more important, they are Americans. He went on, giving orders to them, threatening to send a man back if he made the slightest sound. They moved on. PAGE FIFTY-TWO By half-past two in the morning every man was on the ridge, set to begin the attack, orders milling around in their heads, and they were nervously awaiting the shot that was a signal to go. High above the others, a lone figure watched calmly for the shot, ready to radio back to the home base a blow-by-blow description of the light. He was trained especially for this kind of work and always gave the impression of not being afraid, though he was in a turmoil. . The time was drawing near, and the air became electric with waiting. Men grew tense and ground their teeth. Then they all saw the red flash and heard the shot echo back and forth against the hills. They had been instructed to shout, but they did even better. They whooped blood-curdling cries that echoed and rebounded mockingly. The japs were in an uproar. They ran here and there crying to one another, dodging zinging, whining bullets that poured from all sides. The Yanks and Filipinos streamed down the ridge, running like deer, yelling like banshees. The imprisoned Americans didnlt know what to make of the whole thing. They gazed into each others' faces questioningly. Was this an attempt of the Japs to kill them under cover? After all, they had only been getting a bowl of rice once a day, the food was so low. Then when they saw leaping men running towards the gate of their com- pound and breaking through, they shrank against the opposite wall. When they heard a very American voice with a Brooklyn accent shout, Hey youse, you're freelv, they burst into tears of happiness. 1 V The Yanks herded the prisoners out, helping them or carrying them, to Filipino ox-carts, and they were hauled away to the ridge under the protective fire of their liberators. The Japs, meanwhile, were mowed down and completely cleaned out. When everything was under control, the Yanks and the Filipinos caught up with the joyous prisoners and moved off into the night, singing the Star Spangled Banerf' S. R., '49. Since none of the contributions from the sixth and seventh grades met the Annual's requirements, there will be no prize this year. PAGE FIFTY-THREE MISS HURREY'S COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS 1944 Cultivez votre jardin is one of the most quoted sayings of the great eighteenth century French philosopher, Voltaire. Education, taken in the larger meaning of the word, goes on long after you have left this school throughout your whole life and should help you to End the means to do just that-develop your possibilities. We hope that here at Hartridge you have, first, begun to find yourself-to know what kind of a person you really areg then to furnish this self so that you may have the material with which to workg Hnally, with self-respect for what you are, to fulfill yourself. But truc education is not only an individual concerng its scope is far greater-to forget yourself in something more important and compelling than your individual self. You have all started out well in this process. We are proud of you, and we send you forth with the sincere wish for and confident expectation of your success in the future.
