C Q X TEEN FASHIONS Attention, girls of Walt Whit- mani This concerns ou. As you must already know, tE?fashions of our school are Ufadsn which are copied out of the pages of HSeventeenU or any other teenage fashion magazine. Some of the fashions are exaggerated by our students and undoubtedly look strange to older persons who are accustomed to more conservative standards. Bulky sweaters of all textures have taken the lead as The Hshaggy sweatern, the Uheavy wool knitu, and the'thin Italian knitn are offshoots of this lat tax craze. Bright eye-catching col rs are most frequently used. The skirts, which remain short, come in all shapes and styles and . are worn by the Utwistin' setn. Coordinates which consist of a 1 skirt with a matching jacket or vest are popular. You can see them in the classrooms or corridors o Nalt Whitman, Ruffles now appe around the cuff and collars of he virl's blouses. the fashionable adolescent garbs. The inflated Hheatn hairstyle have gradually been deflated since last year when they first became popular. Now the girls are wear- ing variations Lteased, of course1L When the fashions and fads change, variety is brought into the teenagers' world of clothes at Walt Whitman. Susan Wiener N I 1 N jf .

MILK AND HONEY QMilk and Honevn is the new musical about Israel. It has such spirit and vitality that you can- not help being pleased. The story is light and plesant A group of widows are on tour in Israel, most of them looking for husbands. Romance develops be- tween one of the tourists, Ruth Stein, and Phil Askin, an Amer- ican staying with his daughter- in-law and son who live in Israel. He is separated from his wife. One of the most engaging things about HMilk and Honeyn is the fantastic dancing and singing. Indeed, when the ensemble breaks into an Hlndependence Day Hora,n we feel like running up and join- ing them. An Israeli wedding is a beautiful first act finale. Some of the songs are magni- ficent, such as NSholomH, HThat Was Yesterdayn, and HLike A Young Mann. Jerry Herman has fashioned the music and lyrics. GIDEON UGideonn is a new play by Paddy Chayefsky. It is a warm and wonderful drama with many fUHHY lines. It is about an un- usual yet fascinating relation- ship between a poor farmer, Gideon and the Angel of God. God has selected Gideon to lead his oppressed people against the fierce Midiamites. We wonder with Gideon why Gideon was se- lected. We follow Gideon as he starts to get the feeling of belng a leader. We hear the ten- der and humorous dialogues be- tween God and Gideon and we enjoy the interesting ending. The two leading performers are nothing short of superb. Douglas Campbell as Gideon gives an in- telllgent performance. It is thrilling to watch him change from a timid farmer to a noble leader. Frederic March as God gives a stern and sensitive performance with humorous overtones. nGideonH will be in New York for many months. It is the to see. Indeed, nMilk and Honeyn has everything. Molly Picon is de- lightful as Clara Weiss, the leader of the widows. Two Metropolitan Opera stars are engaged to sing major roles, Robert Weide as Phil, and Mimi Benzell as Ruth, are personable, and excellently voiced. Tommy Rall, as the son-in-law of Phil, does a dance in the second that is spectacular. 1-l' 93
