earned the plaudits of fellow stu.
dents by presenting the song in q

The most thrilling thing about
the Ventnor contest" she said, was
that I sang before Irving Berlin, the
famous composer. That meant more
to me than any prize I might have
won"
Dot also has won prizes for play
ing bridge, dancing the tango and
writing short stories. She organized
bridge clubs both in Montgomery
Blair and in the neighborhood in
which she lives.
In 1882 Dot spent two months in
Hollywood.
I've travelled quite bit," she
said, "and I've always kept a scrap

places I've visited. My most treas
ured souvenirs, however are the
autographs I obtained from movie

Gene Raymond, Conrad Nagel. Bebe

HIKING TIME.

These first warm days tempt us to
go tramping, don't they? But let's
keep our enthusiasm within bounds.
and use these reminders to mako
that first hike a pleasure, without
bad after effects.
Break in new shoes as the Army
men do. Put on pair of good
socks, then your shoes, and soak
them throughly by standing in a
tub of lukewarm water. Let the
shoes dry on your feet as you hike.
Be sure they're completely dry be-
fore taking them off and the shoes
will always fit you.
If you develop a blister, the best
thing to do is to prick it at the
lower edge just enough to let the
water out, then put piece Of gauze
over it, holding it in place with
adhesive tape. When you get home,
bathe it in warm water and swab
it with a good antiseptic, then keep
it protected until it heals.
Be sure you have a f1rst-aid kit
and sewing kit. You never know
when you may need them.
Take your first hike easily. Stop
every few miles for short rest,
but don't get chilled. This will pre-
vent muscle soreness and the ex-
cessive fatigue which so often spoils
the return trip.
If you come home along high
way after dark, carry flashlight
or a knotted white cloth in the hand
next to the cars, and always wa1h
facing approaching trafic.

Former School
To Benefit

When Joe Dunigan and Willard
Nails start anything, they're mighty
apt to see it through.
Take, for instance, the children s
amateur show presented every year
by Blessed Sacrament School in an
effort to raise money for gymna-
SUM. Joe and Willard started that
four years ago, when they were
sixth-grade pupils at Blessed Sac
rament. And now, although they're
IA and nearing the end of their
first year at Gonzaga High School,
they're still running the show-and
will continue to do so, they insist,
until Blessed Sacrament gets its
gym.
Joe started it," said Willard,
who lives at 640O Georgia avenue
NV. He'd always been having
shows. I think he must have
started with baby shows. because
he's been putting on one show after
another ever since I've known him."
Plans Discussed.
81 wouldn't say I started it,"
countered Joe, whose home is at
5000 Oliver street NV. Il just
thought having show would be
good way to raise some money to
give the school gym. and Willard
and talked it over, and-well, that's
about all there was to it,"
Joe and Willard worked together
on the first show, which was held
in the basement Of the school on
May 10, 1885. Thirty-flve children
participated, and 20 prizes were
awarded.
1--WE got the prizes by going
around the neighborhood and get
ting storekeepers to donate them"
Joe explained. willard and I act
ed as announcers during the show.
We made $105 profit"
For their 1887 show the boys en-
gagged the Wardman Park Theater

Last years show also was staged
in the Wardman. OF the same gen.
eral type as the second show. it
made a profit of $400. Mr.. Reese
acted as director again, and the
boys also had the assistance of Fred
Ugast, IS, now student at st.
Charles College, Catonsville, Md.
Success Predicted.
But this years show is going to
be the biggest money-maker of them
ALL" Joe predicted. We've got $50
kids signed up, and Mr.. Reese is
doing the directing again. Willard
and I will do the announcing as
usual, and for the first time we've
arranged to have box seats. We
have rehearsals every Wednesday
afternoon and Saturday morning,
and everything Is going along
swell"
This year Joe and Willard are
assisted by Blaine Fitzgerald. IA,
Of East Underwood street, Chevy
Chase, Md. The show will be pre-
sented at 8:15 pm. Friday, May IL,
in the Willard Hotel.
Asked why they are so interested
in obtaining gymnasium for

said:

YES" Willard agreed. Every
school should have a gym"
