fl 'I ci :sipna fff ll1jl Ulm--1 ei.-o Z. Q .. 0 as A li llil UU 'So I:-Vol. IV No.I Taft-F-Iigh School, cilicago, 111. Fg bi 34, 194' Profs to Colleague With Hearts, Flowers Edward Hines Hospital, Feb. 13-C1ar- an E. Fullmer, treasurer and science teacher at Taft high school, received a Valentine here today from the entire faculty which was prepared by Miss Sally Unseth of the art department. Mr. Fullmer is steadily improving and will probably be released in a week or two. He is situated lin a sunny room, though the windows are slightly soiled, and spends most of his time reading the notes and greetings sent by his friends from Taft. Mr. Fullmer nearly broke all hospital records recently when he was receiving vlisitors at the rate of 14 in 20 minutes. He always receives his guests in a new bathrobe given him by Mr. L. A. Hoefer, Taft high school principal. Taft She Finale Four Valentines Old St. Valentine, perched on a cloud wlith Daniel Cupid Esquire and a mad bunch of whirling der- vishes known as love knots, chuckles with glee as the Tribune presents its Valentines. Originally St. Valentines Day was the day of sweet sentiments, cooing doves, and fat cherubs. The Trib retalins the old-fashioned lace and ribbons, but goes modern with four queens of hearts. These girls were selected by the faculty as typically representative of the art, music, athletic, and home arts departments. Lyrics and rhythm queen for the music department is Mary Jane Shirley, 3A, pictured Hirst, left. Taft's feminine athlete is Marion Basse, 3A, pictured second. For her artistic talents with both brush and clay, Taft's young sculp- tress, Inez Niehaus, 2A, pictured thlird, has been chosen as A-1. Like the queen of hearts who baked some tarts is Lois Lindsay. 3B, pictured fourth, chief cook and bottle washer for home arts. Reverting again to the old fashioned sentiments may we say: Roses are red: violets are blue: And this, dear Tafhites, Is our Valentine to you. Civics Unit Enacts Constitution Drama History repeats itself Monday for the P. T. A. and again Friday for the student body when a group of senior boys under the direction of Mr. Kenneth Osbon, civics teacher, reenact the framing and signing of the Constitution.

Page 2 Lillian Gish Delights Press Interviewers With Tales of Career, Childhood, Travels By Ruthjayne Aeberly Lillian Gish, lin a bright green dress and a pert fur hat, followed by Malcolm, her West Highland terrier, entered the Blackstone theater January 31 to the tune of clicking cameras and eager excla- mations of the scholastic press! Life With Father, she laughed, referring to her year-old starring epic, has turned out to be a heal- thy production from many stand- points. We have already had to change the chiildren in the cast twice because they get so big and fat during the dinner scenes in the playf' But more seriously she contin- ued, I'm enjoying 'Life With Father' right now because I think' the world needs a little more come- dy. During the World War Miss Gish made films of conditions in Europe to help America make up its mind. But, she said sorrowfully, I wouldn't do that again because any action which creates hatred always boomerangs back to you. Prefers Silent Films Miss Gish liked silent films be- cause they were not limited to one language and could be universally understood. When talkies came, she returned to the stage where she felt she had a better chance to act. As a matter of fact, she con- fessed, I can't do anything else. I always thought it would be nice to write stories, but I can't even Spell. She became a child actress at the age of six. Miss Gish recalls two very vivid incidents from her chlildhood. One was the sight of Sarah Bernhardt's flaming red wig and the other was the time she took castor oil by mis- take when she was trying to steal Castoria from the medicine cabinet. Still Gets Stage Fright HGI' Opening nights are still ac- C0mDan1ied by a frightful case of nerves. I have two superstitious, she explained. I never read the critics the very next morning, and I won't allow anyone to whistle in my dressing room. Miss Gish spends her leisure time rehearsing, traveling, and eating chocolate lice cream sodas, the lat- ter being an all-time favorite. The cast still rehearses Life With Father at regular intervals despite its long-time run. She is very proud of the fact that she has never missed one of the 400- odd performances since the play opened.

Gladys Brown Gives Huge Memorial Flag In memory of her grandfather, Gladys Brown, SA, has donated to Taft high school a huge American flag, 10 feet long by six feet wide, which covered his casket. Gladys's grandfather was a Span- ish-American war veteran who was buried with military honors and had three bugle boys and six men with rifles as attendants. Gladys wanted the school to have the flag because since it was too large for her family's use, she thought it would be a perfect way to commemorate her grandfather.
