Cuba Is Pictured
AS Cultured as
Well as Cav

HAVANA, Dec. 10-Cuba possibly
has suffered at the hands of some
of the more ardent promoters who
have overstressed the theme of gay
ETY., in the opinion Of James H.
Jarvis, manager Of the National Ho-
tel In Havana. These promoters
have given the impression that no
one sleeps at night in the Riviera
Of the Caribbean"
"Of course Cuba is gay, but it is
dignified, too. With its deep-rooted
Spanish traditions it could not be
otherwise, for the Spaniard makes
an art of pleasure. Like his wines,
1t must possess a bouquet. It is that
heritage which gives Cuba its in
effable CHARM" Mr.. Jarvis said and
added:
"Modernity has not marred this
charm. The fine, new buildings and
public works merely bring Cuba
up to date in the matter of conven-
fences. Alphabetically they we're
conceived with a fine appreciation
of the historic lineage of Cuba.
That is particularly true of the
sweeping grandeur of the new ocean
boulevard in Havana, terminating
in an esplanade crested by the
equestrian statue Of Maxine Gomez.
Thousands upon thousands Of
tourists appreciate this rare quail
ity in Cuba and are content with
only touch of the islands night
life, preferring to fill their schedule
with trips and researches of q more
cultured nature.
Havana is not all of Cuba. To
SAVIOR the real life of the island one
must 60 inland over roads bordered
by royal and coconut palms, past
pineapple and tobacco plantations,

soothing cadence of hill and dale
You will always find a colorful
fiesta in progress in one of the pic
turesque inland towns, for each
town has its patron saint. and the
saint-day celebrations follow each
other in endless succession from
hamlet to hamlet"
There are alluring side trips to be
made, Mr.. Jarvis points out, to
such places as MatanZas in the Yu-
mari Valley, with its underground
caverns similar to Mammoth Cave in
Kentucky; Mariel, the Annapolis OF
Cuba, where the naval academy is
located; Varadera Beach on the
ocean, with its miles of cleaning
white sand, comparable with Day.
tona Beach in the beauty and ex-
pansiveness of its seascape. Health
resorts beckon those who seek rest
and recuperation, while for the ro-
bust sports lover the islands at
fractions are all embracing. For

Tours to the coast will include
visits to the Tournament of Roses
and the Rose Bowl game at Pasa-
cena on January 2; motor de-
tours into Old Mexico and through
Southern California: a preview OF
the Golden Gate international Elk
position on Treasure Island in San
Francisco Bay; a visit to Boulder
Dam en- route west, depending upon
the particular tour chosen. These
tours are operated by the Chicago
e. North Western Union Pacific
Railroads, while other trips will be
scheduled to visit such places as
Colorado Springs, the Grand Cam
yon, Carlsbad Caverns and similar
points throughout the West, using
such routes as the Southern Pa

press Co. into Old Mexico.

The all-eXpense, personally-con-
Quoted tour reached its zenith two
decades ago, waned in popular favor
and is now coming back into its own
in major way as travellers come to
recognize the carefree and congenial
mode of travel with an escort to at
tend to baggage. tickets, reservations
and other details. A further vir-
tue in this form of travel is the
fact that patrons know to the penny
in advance, just what the cost will
be and pay for everything before
leaving home.
All these modes of regaining popu-
lar favor for the train as means
Of travel have contributed toward
the growing trend of rail travel for
longer journeys. The advantages OF
air-conditioning; streamlining, low
fares and round-trip rates which, in
the West, includes three different
classes" FIRST, intermediate and
coach, each with, reduced fares for
round-trips) have been equally po-
tent in making the trains a favored
mode of travel.
Domestic travel during the ensu-
ing year promises to be unusually
heavy, with two great World Fairs
at opposite sides of the continent,
the while European travel is de-
tered by eventful factors across the
Atlantic.
Florida looks forward to one of its
greatest years, with the season
opening in Miami, December l6
when the Miamian reaches that city
on its first run Of the season and
when the Orange Blossom, with its
new Diesel motors, makes it's debut
there. On the West Coast of Flor
ida, st. Petersburg will regard the
winter season as officially COM
menced with the opening of the VII
hoy Park on December 20, while
across the continent, Southern Cali
fornia's annual New Year festival
will be prelude to the opening of
the San Francisco Fair on February
10. Faster trains in all directions
will be ready to handle the throngs
of pleasure bound tourists to the
winter playlands of the South, OF
the Pacific Coast, of Sun Valley or of
the resorts near to Washington.

The Lineup
Libby Defeats Troy
In Six-Man Football

Playing new game on foreign
field, the Libby Terriers outplayed
the Troy Trojans, and won to 0
Tuesday evening. They played six
man football instead Of the regu-
lar 11-man.
This game is much faster than
regular football. The ball must be
passed on every play, either a later
al or a forward; If not, the play is
dead at the line of scrimmage. The
field is only 80 yards long instead
of 100, and 40 yards wide instead
of So yards in the regular football.
Libby displayed hard tackling, and
lots of fight that goes to make up
"a winning team.
The first half ended in score
less tie with both teams trying
hard.
Libby made one touchdown in the
last half, but the referees, after
changing their decision, said that
the Libby player stepped out of
bounds. This did not discourage
them because few minutes later
Nolop recovered a tumble that put
Libby ahead
This game was fast, with both

Editorial

For the next two months, nearly
every activity in school will be dom
mated by football. The Peptomists,
of course, concentrate all their en-
ergy on football; the glee club will
be singing pep songs; some of the
organizations as well as the classes
will find in the football games an
opportunity to raise money for their
treasures.
The intense interest in football
which is more generally wide
spread in school than the interest
in any other one activity--is the
most important thing in developing
our school spirit which is in turn
one of the biggest things behind our
football team.
There are lot of things we can
do to back our teams and our
school. First, we can be sincerely
interested in football, second, we
can make this interest count for
something by getting into the spirit
of pep rallies and making all the
noise we know how to, third, and
perhaps most important, we can
make every effort to be at all the
games, and after we're there we can
yell our heads off to let the boys
know we're behind them.

Musical Musings

In a recent survey, the students
expressed a unanimous desire for a
good fifty piece band. We have the
students, facilities and desire for
such band but we need more
than just that. We need the active
support of every student in school.
Support the band and our desires
will be fulfilled. Glasses have been
organized. and many new members
have started on their way to join
the band.
All those interested are invited to
bring their parents to the little gym
on Thursday evening at o'clock
where Mr.. Kemper will explain and
discuss instruments, prices and mu-
steal plans in general. He states
that a six week rental plan has
proven to be very attractive offer,
enabling the student to test his mu-
steal ability and interest with a
minimum investment. This plan
will be outlined Thursday evening
SO bring your parents and get in on
this attractive offer. Support the
band and we'll soon have our de-
sire, good fifty piece band.
