Lawrence High School ropolitan opera star, Ruth Cowen, slipped by the reporters today and locked herself up in a suite of rooms in the Copley Plaza. All efforts to reach her for an interview failed. The only reporter to reach Madam Cowen was the versatile representa- tive of the Falmouth Enterprise, Miss Christine Fernandes, whose persuasive force and endurance has made front-page stories a weekly event in Falmouth. Flash from Pittsburgh, the smoky city. Alice Gifford left town today in a terrible rush and gave no rea- son why. But my guess is that the mirrors were smoky. Here is a choice bit of gossip that we chanced to overhear. They say that Mary Moniz is that way about a big strong he-man down Fal- mouth way. We just found out what made the three little pigs’ giggle sound so real. Behind the scenes was Jean Densmcre, who at last is getting real American Dollars for her abil- ity to giggle any time at anything. Selena Edwards is the talk of Har- lem since her night club singing, “Am I blue?” You just tune in on Madam Edwards if you are. She drives the blues away. She has turned blue Monday into a day of sunshine. Selena’s success is due to the young lady star who has the ability to put her feet just where they ain’t, who can dance the blues away. Yeozah! Margaret Peris is the little lady with the dancing feet. Flash from Labrador! Anthony Martin has succeeded in harvesting an unusual amount of ice this win- ter. The story has it that it was a long cold winter. And Anthony was able to sneak on the ice without making a sound, thus catching it before it melted. Flash from Woods Hole! Coins are getting more and mere scarce since the organ grinder, Francis Mclnnis, has been in that vicinity. Francis is one of the few who has made his way in the world. Flash from Paris! The clerk at the Reno Divorce Bureau, Eleanor Stevens, reports that L. H. S. gradu- ates hold the highest rate of di- vorces granted since 1934. And with this choice bit of gos- sip I come to a close, trusting that you all gathered in the news, news that won’t happen for days to come. This broadcast has been made possible by the makers of Scannell’s Hair Tonic. Anything that is good for the hair should be good on the air. JACINA LOUISE COSTA. GIFTS TO THE BOYS Our class is never gloomy; in fact, the whole school is never gloomy. So, Alva, in order that you may keep your bright blushing tem- perature down, we give you this thermometer. Bob Leighton, knowing that you love to blow quite a bit, we’re go- ing to give you something that will stand plenty of hot air. So, Bob, we take time to present to you this horn. In exchange for your own high hat, Ross, we present you with this derby. David, knowing your fondness for the Scotch, we take great pleasure in giving you this booklet of Scotch jokes. It’s t rue that good things come in small packages. Anyone can be a witness to that when he sees Her- bert Gardner play baseball. Take this little bat, Herbert, and soon you’ll be shaking hands with “Babe Ruth” himself. Bunny Hauston is the baby of

The Lawrencian last has contributed a wave lotion for red heads by personal experi- ment. And a little bit of gossip on the side has it that Frances Knight has gone domestic since this glorious discovery. Yes, sir. And now a flash for you serious minded leaders of the youth of America! Margaret Smith, “the schoolma’am extraordinary”, says, that whipping children is not so good but high hatting them is the thing to do, and the proof of that tasty bit can be seen in the sad expression and lonesome look of Alva Barstow since a certain somebody has gone high hat. Flash from Madison Square Gar- den ! Here is some news for you sport fans that will keep you awake nights figuring. A match has been signed between Panther Barboza and Flash Peters for the fly weight championship of Cape Cod, and can those boys fly! My bet is on Peters, but you, dear listeners, can bet for yourselves. And speaking about sports and flying. If you haven’t seen Claire Sylvia executing flying, or what have you, you’ve missed something. But I’ll tell you one person who hasn’t missed it, and that’s the well known millionaire sportsman, Ross Green. When Claire is on the ice, Ross is always on the front box, and we wonder why. Flash from Hollywood! There’s a new picture on the wing. You’ll hear a lot about it soon. That startling brunette, Alice Soares, co- starred with the idol of France, Armand Parent, as the hero, is at her best in “She Loved a French- man”. What a picture, fans! What an hour of bliss, exotic, thrilling as only those two stars can make it! Flash from Bermuda! Down here in the balmy climate under the thrilling tropic moon, where the waves sing their little songs of love, is Anne Leatherbee. And have times changed? Not a bit. She is still the center of attraction to a certain group of young men such as Ernie Johnson and Ted Sheehan. And under this tropic moon, does it work? Flash from Spain! The American toreador, John Figuerido, threw the bull today with as much grace and skill as was ever witnessed in this old Spanish town, and did those Spaniards blush! O Sole Mio. And speaking about Spain! There has been many a family squabble when a husband starts talking about his favorite actress and dancer, Sara Marks. And is she showing these Spanish senors some- thing? Her wisecracks have made her as popular in Spain as her dancing made her in America, Another hot tip from New York! This comes straight from Nathalie Turner, that little girl who knows all the stars, who writes those stories of Genevra Carpenter, whose gclden voice is known to you, me, and everyone. She is considered to be the only gifted person to sing the wonderful composition, “Sea Sickness”, composed by the conduc- tor of the New York Symphony Band, Jce Towers. And here is a flash from Istan- bul! Samuel Insull may have made this place news in his short stay here, but Florence Schroeder sure caused the natives to perspire under their turbans when she fluttered through the town on her way back home. Florence did more for this town in an hour with her eyes than Insull could do in a month with his money. What that girl misses in her travels can be written on the back of a postage stamp. Flash from Boston! Famous met-

The Lawrencian our class, so Bunny, with Peggie’s compliments we give you this all- day sucker. Edmund DeMello, falling to sleep on the job will never do for you. In case you are not sure whether you are asleep or awake, just ring this bell. Every new girl who comes to town thinks that Mertie Baker has the most beautiful blue eyes. In order that you can keep in trim, Mertie, we give you this eyelash curler. Tony Martin wants to be county sheriff some day. As the first step to your goal, Tony, we have the honor of presenting to you this chicken inspector’s badge. Rodney Turner wants to be great. You are interested in Halls, we know, Rodney. You may be able to reach the Hall of Fame with this ladder. Poor Roy Garcia is always out of luck. Roy, when you feel dis- contented about any thing, just hit yourself over the head three times with this lucky horseshoe. If you are still conscious, then you’ll know how lucky you really are. Why do girls go mad? All on account of Teddy Sheehan. He’s a woman hater. Since you are not interested in dates, Teddy, we give you this package of figs. Armand Parent wishes to join the “House of David”, but we won’t let that happen. We give you free of charge, Armand, this razor. Something terrible happened to Francis Mclnnis the other night. He forgot his line. Never mind, Mac; in case of sudden danger use the old telephone line (toy tele- phone) . Poor Wicky McDonald! He’s al- ways getting in Dutch with the teachers. Why not try the old fashioned custom, Wicky? Here is a nice juicy red apple, and, re- member, it’s for the teacher. What would happen if Lester Davis came down with a bad case of laryngitis? Let’s hope that such a case would never be. So, to this silver voiced crooner of ours we offer this package of glycerine tab- lets.

Felix Barboza just can’t get “Saint Louis Blues” off his mind. Your trumpet needs a change, Felix. Try this old favorite, Juanita. It ought to be advertised practi- cally everywhere how Reignford Lyon keeps his handsome schoolboy complexion. Perhaps we do not know the secret, Reignford, but in case you run out of it, here is a cake of Woodbury’s Facial Soap. George Morin wants to be a banker. Opportunity is at your door, George. Remember, we gave you your start with this penny sav- ings bank. Phil Wilde should remind us of the ocean, not because he is salty but because of his wavy hair. So, Phil, in order to keep those dash- ing waves of yours calm for a while, we give you this bottle of “Jocur” wave set. Leonard Rogers, knowing that you like baseball so well, we managed to get you this baseball with “Babe Ruth’s” signature on it. As the real Babe was busy at the time, we gave Ruth Cowen the pleasure of signing it in his stead. Henry Peters is quite a chemist. He claims that he can make any
