M. H. S. auditorium the nights of December fifth and sixth. The setting of the play was the lobby of the Miramar Hotel in Florida. It is here that Mr. Alonzo K. Page of Milwaukee, Wis. arrives with his daughter Janet, en route to South America, where (Mr. Page hopes) Janet will forget her lover, Jack Prescott, of whom Mr. Page disapproves. Comedy hits were furnished by Dick Woodworth and Bill Herr who cleverly impersonated girls as part of the plan to delay the Pages on their trip South. A very successful characterization of an old maid resident of the hotel was done by Doris Hughes, whose excellent acting was enthusiastically received by the audience. Colorful parts were taken by Bob Luikart and Barbara Gibbon, bell-hop and elevator girl, whose roles added much to the romantic interest of the play. The mature character part, Mrs. Helen Carter, was capably handled by Joanna Fuller, whose chic appearance added glamour to the play. Dick Keyse, as the personable, long suffering hotel clerk; Charlotte Cooper and Pat Hubbard, two attractive maids; Dolores Jopko, a ‘‘bratty” child and her weary Mother, Mary Smith; Frank Ellis as the hard boiled detective -- all helped to provide our entertainment that will be long remembered by both cast and audience. 14

BEAUX VhE word beau comes from the Latin word, bellus, meaning pretty or fine. A beau is something that is essential to every girl’s life and has been from the beginning of the world. The first beau recorded in history was Adam, in the Garden of Eden. Down through the pages of history have come many famous beaux such as Cleopatra's Anthony, Elizabeth's Essex, Juliet's Romeo, even down to the very modern beau such as Charles Boyer, the Great Lover, and American's Number One Beau, Vic Damone. There are many types of beaux, but the one found almost everywhere is the jealous one. This kind causes one trouble galore! He always seems to know that you were in the drugstore with the boy whom you promised him a week ago (in a weak moment, of course) that you would not go with or even speak to. Some kind friend no doubt thought it his duty to tell him, so the story goes, you've gotten into trouble again. For a slight change, we shall now take up the shy type. He is the answer to a maiden's prayer. One can have a good time with this specimen of humanity even if she practically has to carry on a one-sided conversation, but there you have it again the case of whether one prefers the ardent or shy type. That's up to the girl. There is a type of beau who isn't quite as evil as the eager lover. This specimen believes in interdigital relationship before marriage. Meaning of course, “holding hands. I don't think that “Mama's Little Angel should be left out of the typing of Beaux. He is very rare and is seldom seen out with the general run of lasses. When a girl picks one of these on her string, she has something exceptionally hard to brush off. If a girl is out looking for a husband, this example of manhood can be highly recommended for he is a sign of security. I fear that he would prove to be duU and very uninteresting as a husband. Last but not least, is the standard beau. He has a little of all these traits I have mentioned. He is the kind of boy a girl likes to go with best of all-he pays just enough attention to her to suit her; gets jealous just once in a while; every few weeks gets a small case of W. H. T. (wan- dering hand trouble) which can easily be cured. Beaux have their advantages and disadvantages, but the entire history of the human race proves that the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. Beaux are very necessary in every girl's life, as I have said before. They are the girl's means of being able to go places and to see things. Society demands that a girl have an escort almost every place she goes. It is considered improper for a girl to appear at a dance or other social gatherings unescorted. Thus, she must have beaux so she can circulate. Despite their advantages and disadvantages, beaux all lead up to one thing—that is a nice home and a family in future years--so girls, be careful whom you choose III 15
