The GRISTETTE and her husband have been traveling the country. Her next stop is China, to com- plete her trip around the world. Her stops in the various cities found her lecturing on the care of clothes and good grooming while traveling. Coming back to our beloved campus for a visit, we find the freshmen rules slightly changed, but all in order, of course. Sim- ply later hours, more recreation, no study hours and under control of the Assistant Dean of Women, Miss Carolyn Wllhar. She ' s trying out a new progressive meth- od. Nice work if you can get it. Carolyn! On land, on sea, in the air, it ' s Frannie Stickley, the aviatrix who made the head- lines by her first trip to Shangri-La, Since then she has made non-stoo flights back and forth, forward and backward, and well, we just can’t keep up with her! And somewhere in between she manages to give radio talks, but you ' ve all heard them so need we say more? Among this versatile group of busy peo- ple, we find one who has serenely settled down to a “Ferdinand life,” not sniffing, but arranging flowers, Barbara Warren will make up the bouauet for you in the most unique way you ' ve ever seen. Her own little greenhouse adorns the back yard of her studio, where her annual flow- er shows can be seen. Chicago claims our Beatrice Hccker. and her work is cosmography. If you don’t know what that is, try and figure out how the Great Lakes are arranged now-a-days. Beat rice certainly has a sense of imagina- tion. She went to Chicago by way of Asia. She and Ptolemy! Streamlined automobiles, helioconters ? None of that ! This progress theory didn’t sway Janice Phinney any. She’s running a bicycle station down by the Pier, all di- rections heading toward R. 1. State Col- lege. Something extra special for the stu- dents. And the secret to her success is the rubbing alcohol she sells on the side. Do you have a iaded anpetite? Tr v a tastv trifle at the Briden Snack Shop. Her special tv is hors d’oeuvres, all shanes, all kinds, Doris never lets you down! She is not alone in her business enter- prise! The silent partner is Elinor New- marker. Elinor decided, after her attempt at trying to analyze the exactly whys of digestion, simply to satisfy the appetites. So there we are. The Tasty Snack Shop of Briden and Newmarker. Dorothy Klemer is at Howard doing so- cial work. The inmates don’t want to leave any more since Dot tie ' s taken over. Her wit and helpful manner have added much gaiety to the place, Dottie’s also taken time out to write a book on “How to Play Tiddly-Winks in One Easy Les- son.” What have we here? A circus artist among us. She rides horseback, walks tight ropes, and trains puppies. It’s Grace Stover! We never would have guessed it but it seems an analytic course In chemis- try gave her the courage! Incidentally, perhaps the fact that Tommy Baker owns the show has something to do with it. Back at R. I. State once again, it seems that the students will never forget the joys and pleasures of their dear old Alma Mater. We see Florence Sternback has returned to make t hings even easier; for instance escalators in all of the buildings, street car service to the cafeteria, auto- matic diners, etc. And above all, that bridge crossing Narrow River down by the Pier was designed by Florence. We wonder how soon she’ll have the new air- line field in use? That last opera you saw at the Metro- politan featured our own Miss Gloria Good- win. Gloria’s next show will be with Ca- ruso’s great-grandson (newcomer to the theatre) when she will be doing “Sweet Little Butterfly” from the show of the same name. Gloria collects canaries. Adele Goldberg writes funnies. She’s taken over “Terry and the Pirates,” it’s “Terry and the Kids” now, proving that A dele’s work at the nursery was not. in vain. Would you believe it! Helen Rardell has taken over where Petty and Varga left off. She’s doing a wonderful job and has offices all over the United States. Just put a drawing pencil in Helen’s hand and watch her turn out the beauties! Last, but not least, we have the remain- ing male student. It’s Fred Pari, folks. He was excellent in math and is now the judge of the Beauty Contests at Atlantic City — -studying figures, you know! And now you’ve heard the future It’s probably a bunch of lies Heck, all we can do is prophecise! 23 fa

The GRISTETTE Stork Club for only a fleeting moment to enjoy that luscious blues singer, Janet Keegan. She took that “Sentimental Journey” and made her debut in Holly- wood. She returns to the campus of Rhode Island State for a command performance each year. Engine trouble ? How about the spark plugs? Does your radiator leak? You needn ' t worry another minute. Your trou- bles will be fixed in a jiff. After all, the Thomas Mansion doesn’t keep all those gadgets for decoration purposes. They’re there to keep the twelve limousines in ship-shape. And believe us, folks, if you see Carolyn for a split second you’re a lucky person, because “Morgie’s” the bus- iest girl we know. If she isn’t motoring for the Red Cross or taking babies ' tem- peratures, she’ll be out swimming the Hudson River for laughs. P. S. All this and Wheaton, too! The speaker at the University of Ox- ford who takes the limelight is none oth- er than Ralph Johnson. He spoke on the “Review of the War Situation of World War Two Plus the British Foreign Pol- icy.” But Ralph not only speaks, he builds. He designed the architecture for the entire university. He’s a man of many hobbies — saves dog pictures only to offset his pin-up girls. His brother wolves will howl at this, if you don’t. How about a little diversion? We know just the place. The Webster apartment on Fifth Avenue — the get-together room of the authors of the day, the artists and their friends, the poets. Of course, we ' ll guarantee you a perfectly maddening time, but Eureka ! There’s Ruthia herself, author of the American novel, that long- sought book, written in Grand Central Park on a rainy afternoon. That evening gown, incidentally, is the very latest. P. S. Ruthie dabs in her spare lime — Grot- to style. How ' bout your autograph, keed? Now how did the girl over by the man- tel get in this group? As far as we knew, she was toe-dancing for the ballet on Broadway. But, of course! Paula did write a book of poetry wh i le on tour. Among other things, Miss McQuaid mod- els for Powers, when she isn’t posing for the “Ipana Smile” ads. Flash! We’ve just received news that Paula is engaged to Van Johnson ! Congrats ! Let’s skip over to the Canteen in Flor- ida. Flossie Sara vo will surely be the most charming hostess you’ve ever met. It seems she had a soft spot for the boys of the A.S.T.P. at Rhode island State Col- lege and this became her inpiration for the biggest little canteen on the Gulf. Her entertainment includes the many regulars of the original A.S.T.P. (Marvin sits by the cash register.) Do you have a temperature? How’s your heart beat? Your blood pressure will never be right again if you have Bev Lightman as your nurse. She tried very hard, but It seemed that every time she took a pulse rate, she had to wear a mask to get correct results and well, that just wasn ' t too convenient for the doctor. So now, you guessed it ! Bev” married the doctor ! And while we’re on the subject, one of the members of our class decided to con- fuse us all, so Betty Allard never did grad- uate but Mrs, Lauderdale did and now she’s mountain climbing in Colorado. In fact, she’ll guide you any place you care to go. When you pick up your latest Ladies’ Home Journal and wonder about the beau- tiful mother and daughter covers, you’ll recognize the familiar golden locks as those of Mrs. Muriel Sadler. Muriel is also feature editor of the magazine, and her favorite pastime is skiing with her handsome husband. Is your voice on the wrong pitch ? Does it crack? Don’t give up! You might even discover you are a Gladys Swarthout, That is, Jean Salter might, for she will test your voice and train it. Don’t tell us you haven’t heard of the Record-Break- ing, Voice-Making Shoppe atop the Em- pire State? That’s so Jean has plenty of space for echoes. P. S. She directs the plane traffic when she isn’t busy. We hunted high and low before we could discover what Eleanor Sandsea is doing. But she couldn’t hide it any longer. We know now! You’ve undoubtedly seen or heard about the ‘ ' Kiddies’ Review” in Boston. Guess who is the director! Elea- nor doesn’t brag about it, but we’ve also found out that she’s in line for the Acad- emy award for the outstanding director of the year. How about that ? Ever since Polly Warden graduated, she 22 }V-
