ture of a pony express rider's life in a modern hotel, or the trials and tribulations of a chamber maid. A MIDNIGHT NIGHT- MARE is a tragedy writ- ten by Rita Mancini. It is the story of Emma Jacobs who drinks too much 'tPrimo and who says the beauty of nature keeps .her alive. Interesting but rather gassy plot. We guarantee chronic indigestion to every reader. Music in Review Last night at the opening of the new Poleless Acad- emy of Music, a new group of up and coming young musicians was presented. Among the notables were the young pianists, Mari- anna Campisi and Joseph- ine Milon, Marie D'Alles- Sandro, Ruth Pennington, and Josephine Bell. After each slayed a piece of the old masters, they intro- duced a concerto for twin pianos by Gloria Vito. Miss Vito, you remember, Hrst gained recognition as a composer and pioneer in music while still in high school. She composed the music to the school song which was welcomed by the rest of the student body. Last night the concerto was welcomed in a similar man- ner. The critics promise you more good music in the future. Letters to HEARTHY FIX CAlias Josephine Di Bartoloj Think Before You Marry -Crime Does Not Pay!

The show was attended by a very exclusive mob, in- cluding Dr. Marilyn Morri- son, Professor of Heart Sur- gery at the Men's Medical College of Pennsylvania, Miss Lillian Galati, Dieti- tian for Ringling, Barnum, and Bailey's four footed performers, and Miss Shir- ley Weinstock, who recently won the Women's Wrestling Championship of the world. As your bewildered re- porter prepared to take her seat, she was suddenly seized by a young man about three years old. Auntie Cobina, he cried, where's Garga.ntua? His blushing mother, the former Anita Costa, took her son in hand and said, I'm so sorry, but Teddy Jr. is such a precocious child. CPrecocious or not, I don't see how he found out that I'm going steady.J The beautiful and bril- liant Adele Dixon, who has just flown in from Holly- wood where she is in de- mand as an extra's stand- in, introduced the program with a short speech. An invisible ray was turned on the stage, and we waited to see the models in the new invisible silks in- vented by the Koral Lab- oratories. One after another the models didn't appear until a skit entitled The Shadowis Ghost was pre- sented to keep the people entertained. Editorial America is a young coun- try, yet in its brief history are dates which, in their dazzling brilliancy, stand head and shoulder above all others. In 1492 a man, believing that the world was round, searched for a port

of plenty and stumbled upon an obstacle-a new world. This obstacle be- came a haven in 1620 for those men in whom the spark of freedom had come to life. Then a glorious dec- laration in 1776 preserved for this new land the Hame of liberty it so justly de- served. The opening of new frontiers gave these people a chance to pioneer once again, not across another ocean, but across the vast lands west of the Mississ- ippi. Then in 1942 there was another great discovery- new personalities from the Class of January, 1942. 1962 - First Anniversary of the World Peace Court. When the Class of January '42 left school exactly 20 years ago today, they were determined to help make a world of everlasting peace where all mankind could be free and equal, and to re- build the slums of the na- tion so that even the poor could know nature through contact as well as books. Today as the World Peace Court celebrates its first anniversary, these pio- neering women can see the realization of a dream that began when they were still students in high school. When they became the voters and mothers of the nation, they fought, by bal- lot and personal repres- entation, for a world court that would help to bring about world peace. They did not want their loved ones to go over the top as those young men and boys did in the other wars long ago. Presiding over the court are such well known judges as Dorothy Strom, Aida Crocetti, and the Ben- jamin Franklin of today, Emma Jacobs, with Lillian Lunetzky as court secre- tary. Razzing The Trail Miss Marion 'Fisher was seen the other day at a tea given by the chemists of America. Your repor- ter has been informed that Miss Fisher scorned the delicious repast set before her and drew a luscious- ly juicy orange from one pocket and a creamy ba- nana out of the other, and proceeded to munch calm- ly amid the noise of the battle of the silverware that was being waged by those hungry unfortunates around her. ll Q il 4 That Schreider was' a stun- mer girl There is no doubt at all For we can plainly see that she Arrived before the Fall. This ludicrous and dar- ing ditty sums up very well the personality of our charmingly vivacious Cor- inne Schreider who ap- peared at the Jan '42 prom in a strapless cement mixer affair with opened kneed wading boots, dragging a full time potato peeler. Our dear Corinne, who is a well done edition of Hope and Hopelessness, has just signed up with the well known Bova Radio Com- pany to liven up their I dare you to listen pro- gram. I am now sure peo- ple will not have to be dared, they'll have to be bribed. Professor Myra Teitel- man, who is now teaching advanced mathematics at Dartmouth College, has created a new movement- hearts and pencils are both moving at a slightly in- creased speed. The dear boys are trying to teach their teacher something Cas if they couldj-that one and one make two, and one more a crowd. lk lr Ill lk The hapless, hopeless Miss Beatrice Kruger, de- signer for Lord and Tay- lor, recently set the fashion world on its ear with her 64 J v-'av-v creation of a comfortable finger-tip length strait- jacket, trimmed in some- thing cute, for the jitter- bugs. lk Ik Ik IF The other day your re- porter accidentally bumped into the witty and talkative Miss Edna Eble. But, here's the catch! The name is no longer Eble, but Mrs. Charles --. Can you guess? Are you darning Charlie's socks, Edna? No, he wears them with the holes in them. Ik Hi li If A new record was re- cently set by Miss Shirley Deitch in giggling. Miss Deitch extended the time for the hee hee's to one hour. Although her compe- titor, Miss Gloria Di Rus- cio, had a louder and more contagious laugh, Miss Di Ruscio had to stop for an- other breath after 35 min- utes. Good luck to you, you slap happy girls!
