What Is a
Good Community

An ideal community, to my mind,
is one in which all the citizens feel
a sense of security from any de-
cline in their social and civic stand
ards because they, themselves, know
and respect their own rights and
privileges. 1t is place, to me,
where those in responsibility treat
their positions of trust as oppor-
tunities for public good and where

welfare of the group is citizens

Editorial

The other day, student came to
class with an original alibi for not
having his lesson-he was going to
be absent the next day. Amusing?
But far more detrimental. Ex-
plantations and reproofs took nearly
five minutes of class time. In a As
minute period, it would only take
fifteen such pupils to use up the
whole period.
With such classes our schools
wouldn't be of much value, would
they? This may seem rather like
far-fetched reasoning to you. Per-
haps it is. But the effect of such
procedure on the part of one
student has very real effect on
the morale of the other students
even if they are not inconsiderate
enough to absolutely refuse to do
any work. To student who has
worked hours in preparing a les
son to the best of his ability. il has
much the same effect as slap on
the face to come to class and dis
cover that one of his classmates has
not even considered the lesson val
liable enough to attempt.
II you are person who never
lets the convenience of others in
terfere with your own freedom of
action, then surely, you should make
an attempt to come to class every
day with your lesson prepared. It
is definitely to your benefit. Did
you ever stop to consider the rep
utation the habit of unpreparedness
gives you? Would teacher be apt
to recommend a student who cam
not be trusted to get his lesson
time for a position of trust? No,
because such student wouldn't be
fit for such a position. Once the
habit of letting things slide gets a
hold on person, it gradually gains
more and more control over that
person, until finally, the victim loses
all sense of responsibility. After
letting your lessons slide for a time,
soon you begin to let other things
slide: certain ethics which you be-
fore considered unassailable; NOR
ais. Unless quick and sure halt
is made, none of your beliefs-your
good traits--are safe. Therefore,
from any standpoint you want to
look at it, preparedness getting
things done on time-is directly
beneficial to you as student.

Strolls Thru Hollywood

HOLLYWOOD, June 13. OPP
Super colossal atmosphere of the
Jeanette Macdonald Gene Ray
mond wedding caused Hollywood
oldtimerS to run skinny fingers
through their thin. grey Whlskers
and recall the Sam GoldWyn-pro-
duced nuptialS of Wilma Banky and
Rod LaROcque.
That was before this columns
time-Way back in the '20's-but
from the legends handed down
from father to SON it must have
been a honey.
In some ways it was the best
show GoldWyn ever produced, for
the boys and girls are still talk
ing about it, and never since has
scenario writer turned out a
screwy wedding sequenSe without
consulting the record.
Banky was a Hungarian girl nam
ed Wilma VaulSy, newly discovered
by Sam the Great, and riding the
crest of one of his most famous
publicity waves. LaRocque was Just
guy from Chicago, but one of the
reigning matinee idols of the day.
GoldWyn didn't play cupid, for it
was a real love match-WitneSs the
fact the couple are still married
and living in toWn-but when he
moved in on the wedding for pub
licity purposes the thing looked
like something designed by p. f.
Barnum in one Of his more eXpan-
SiVe moods.
Policemen lined the streets for
blocks about Beverly Hills Church
of the Good Shepherd battling
back the ardent souVenir-h hunting
public which might have turned
the wedding into nudiSt affair by
tearing up the clothes of principals
for keepsakeS.
Everybody who was or hoped to
be anything in Hollywood was pres
ent in morning clothes and what
ever the gals were wearing at high
noon in those days. The top hats
alone would have made a pile big
ger than Bunker Hill, and the jew
els. real and phoney, would have
made a load for a couple of dray
horses. Tom Mix showed up driV-
| ing a coach and four.
About pm, after the ceremony
was definitely legal, the whole mob
adjourned to a Beverly Hills hotel
where GoldWyn has rented a ban
quet hall the size of the Yankee
Stadium, one side of which was
lined with buffets laden with eX-
pensiVe food.
A legend persists that some OF
Goldwyn's gastronomical display
was composed of props-plaster ol
paris turkeys and Such-but there
seems no truth in that.
Those who We're present still tel
how the champagne and Other
condiments trickled like the gentle
rain from heaven, drenching al
alike.
1t was one of the most gorgeous
brawls this village has ever seen
breaking up seven hours Later
when the guests began to teal
down the decorations and make OIL
with the undevoured proVender.
