S em Burk ibulletirt AMERI CA'S LEADING NEWSPAPER 102ND YEAR I TUESDAY, JUNE 2, 1940 ISSUE 47 MOVIE .TAR s 1 BEE NOTED DANCER NAMED AS CORESPONDENT In. the divorce suit of Mrs. Morris Metzler against her husband, M. Samuel Metzler, the noted shoe dealer and lec- turer, the plaintiff has named the notori- ous Edythe H. Beechy Qformerly Mrs. Horace N.4WaggonJ as the sole cause of her marital difficulties. Metzler is the ninth millionaire to fall a victim to the all-powerful eye of the noted Follies beauty. It is hoped that Miss Beechy will soon cultivate a taste for foreign nobles as husbands, if not, there will be few happy families left in our own U. S. A. CONFIIDENT AS BIG GAME APPROACHES , The popular Kent State High coach, Puggy Thomas, says that his team is sure tok defeat the Roosters in their annual clash upon the gridiron, while Prof. Deleone, Roosevelt coach and French instruct-or, is sure that his team will triumph. State High, having a long string of victories to its credit, is an overwhelming favorite, but Deleone may have something up his sleeve which he has not heretofore' disclosed. If the Red and White comes out on top in this game it will be the first time a Roosevelt team has defeated a State High team since the last basketball game of the 1924 season. Coach Thomas is well known for his work on the local gridiron during his high school career and his work for Akron University. Coach Deleone is famous for his work at St-ate during the same years as Thomas. The coaches have prepared their teams along about the same lines, but Thomas hafving a larger squad to pick from is pretty sure to be the victor. MOVIE STAR SUES BEAUTY PARLOR PROPRIETOR Miss jean' Gorham, world famed movie star, is bringing suit for 525,000 against the Busy Bee beauty parlors, of which Miss Gladys Gibson is proprietor. Miss Gorham alleged that one month ago while having a facial massage, she was burned. Her charge is supported by a prominent New York doctor who tes- tifies that Miss Gorham's face is pe'r- manently scarred. It is thought that the case may be carried to a higher court. It has been impossible to secure Miss Gibson's version of the matter. Some of her friends have said, however, that she is perfectly able to pay Miss Gorham for her injuries, and they ,think perhaps she will not fight the case. It might be of interest to note that Miss Gorham and Miss Gibson were at one- time good friends, as both were members of the class of '25 at Kent State High SchooL MILLIONAIRE OIL MAGNATE PROUD OF SON Mr. F. Gombert, well known oil dealer of New York City, learned to-day of the fine achievements of his only son, Frederick, jr., who has. been honored with the Puxis Medal at Culver Mili- tary Academy where he has been in at- tendance for two years. Mr. Gombert, when asked how he ac- counted for the success of his son, said that he had tried to teach junior since he was a small boy that hard work, con- centration, and regularity in attendance at school were very necessary to attain success. He also said junior had been brought up in a cheerful home and had learned not to complain. Mr., Gombert closed by saying that by practicing these principles hey himself, had become suc- cessful: ' ,

Boys' Return Party. The boys don't deserve to have very much said about this party because it took so many hints to get it. Of course, they wanted to give it for us-Oh, Yes! but they just neglected to start. S0 next time, boys, don't be so slow, and you'll get more space. ik ik it -If -Bk 916 -JI? Commencement Week. The week of commencement was surely filled with many happy times, and the period was well represented in memory books by programs and souvenirs. Such a whirl of excitement, a flash of gay colors, a medley of happy times and then the sobriety and the quiet dignity of graduation. ' The baccalaureate sermon was an impressive ceremony in our auditorium, and the Seniors will long remember the sermon. Our girls looked the day in their blue and white sport dresses and sport slippers. Class Day Exercises were at night and in a moderate way we tried to return the Junior-Senior. After the program there was a dance for those who cared to stay. The whole thing was worthy of being remembered as the last contribution of the Class of '25 to the social life of Kent State High. brlfbggy to-wa, . M I 48
