Evelyn Falmo, Louise Voishnis and Ann Mastanturio worked at the Blood Donor cen- ter in Boston this past summer. Paula Sca- vitto is now training in Boston to become a member of the Metropolitan Junior Red Cross Speakers’ Bureau. The Entertainment Group, under the able direction of Miss Sweet, has been preparing for several Thanksgiving and Christmas pro- grams and for its opening and closing num- bers in Talent Night, held November 5th in the Clayton Ellis Auditorium. Both the Boys’ Glee Club and the Junior Choir, which also sang during the evening, showed great finesse and a presence that only their hours of rehearsal could give. The senior girls of the Girls’ Glee Club at- tended the performance of “Carmen Jones” on December 9. This modern version of the opera, “Carmen,” was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Some 40 boys and girls took part in the Junior Choir’s splash party held at the Som- erville Y. M. C. A. on October 26. President Judy Anderson reports that the party was a success, both socially and financially. The Sophomore Girls’ Glee Club has an overwhelming membership of 80 voices this fall. Election of officers will take place some time in December.

Hob Crotty ’54 Symphony Sid’s fans have heard a lot of Fats Domino’s latest disc, “Please Don’t Leave Me.” Since my boy, Sid, arrived in Boston town, business has been picking up in a lot of local jive spots. Also, a lot of jazz recorders who were hitherto unknown, such as the aforementioned Fats Domino have be- come fairly popular. WBZ has found a spot for Nelson Bragg whose spot on WCOP was taken over by Sid. Nelson is now playing popular music instead of the hillbilly platters he used to spin. His new evening show has given him a chance to prove just how good a disc jockey he is and the Park Avenue Hillbilly is gaining many new listeners. Bobby Wayne’s recording, “The Jones Boy,” has been adopted as the theme song of a local disc jockey by the name of Doc Jones. Wonder why? Julius LaRosa’s five day appearance in Boston gave the inspiration for the invention of a Julius La Rosa cocktail. With all the pub- licity Julie has received, we wouldn’t be sur- prised if consumer figures showed that La Rosa spaghetti is outselling other brands by 3 to 1. Jan Strickland, who appeared at one of S. H. S.’s dances last year, has recently re- turned for a singing engagement here. This young vocalist is said to have improved greatly and many observers think he is well on his way to a succesful singing career. Station WHDH is now carrying the “Hour of Stars” every weekday night at 6:45. There are four different stars in this show: Ginger Rogers, Dick Powell, Peggy Lee and Tony Martin. The master of ceremonies for this enjoyable show of records and chatter is Bob Clayton. Speaking of B.C., he has dropped Juke-Box Saturday Night due to his many other commitments. The musical “Kismet” which recently played in Boston produced a battle between recording stars: Tony Martin, Tony Bennett. The Four Aces, Ralph Flanagan and Gor- don MacRae all recorded the beautiful melody, “Stranger in Paradise.” Now it’s up to the public to decide which one they like best. “Off Shore” and “The Story of Three Loves” are two recordings which indicate the growing popularity of harmonica solos. Bob Dini’s “Goodbye, My Love” has be- come even more popular than his first re- cording, “Too Long.” There is an EDDIE FISHER Club in the school whose president is Isabelle Moora- dian. Miss Ayes has been made an hononary member. Will more members of the Faculty follow suit? STATION WSHS-TV Break the Bank—Changing a dollar in the lunchroom. Racket Squad—S. H. S. Band.
