SENIOR HIGH NEWS
SOPHOMORE NEWS

we SOp1OIIlOTeS signed n0dVy
signs last week as one of Shake

would all be quite willing to take
sides with Brutus. Some sopho-

surely sympathize with them, for
they must fight the Gallo Wars
with Caesar in addition to the

We are very sorry to have Bill,

RUDIMENTS OF MUSIC

The Rudiments of Music class
has started an entirely different
type of work. They are playing a
small Instrument called a "Ton-
ette."
The first book of instruction
contains small rhythmic melodies.
This is followed by a large book
with piano accomplishments.
This practice aids the students
in their conception of time which
is especially essential to people
playing in bard or orchestra.

Winning Contract
BY THE FOUR ACES.

A Squeezeroo
In technical terms the case where
declarer in running off some long

friend Of ours recently dubbed this
play the "squeezeroo," and we like
the name so much we have decided
to adopt it. Here Is an example

Hoping to find his partners long

spades. South won and returned
the ten. East and West now cashed
two spade tricks, and declarer then
won. the fourth round. Now he
played the ace and another club,
finessing the nine spot in his hand.
An alert player. West decided that
his partners jack Of clubs would
drop on the next round. Hence he
allowed South to win the trick.
Declarer could now have made
his contract either by laying down
the club queen or by playing a dia-
mond to dummy and then making
the correct guess in hearts. How
ever, instead Of making either of
these plays. South proceeded to run
of four diamond tricks. On the
last diamond East discarded a heart,
and now South was in the tolls of
self-imposed squeeze. He could not
blank his king Of hearts. Hence he
discarded club. Observing this,
West also threw heart, which left
him with one heart and the king
and another club. Now declarer
led a heart from dummy. East
Jumped in with the ace and played
his club, whereupon West won the
last two tricks.

our correct opening bid was one

Answer-Your correct bid is to
pass. From the bidding it is obvious
that your partner has nothing in
hearts. Hence, three no-trump
should be hopeless. Furthermore,
with your balanced distribution five
diamonds looks very unlikely.
Score 100 per cent for pass, go per

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

For years there has been talk OF
airplane travel in the stratosphere,
and some persons may wonder why
1t has not become common. The
answer is that we cannot have sue
cess in this field until important
problems are met. Work has been
done to meet the problems, but they
are not simple.
The stratosphere is vast mass
Of thin air high above the earth.
We do not enter the stratosphere
until we rise at least six or seven
miles. Above the. equator, the STRAIT
osphere does not start until we reach
q height Of 10 to IL miles.
The place where the stratosphere
begins Is the place where the tenn
perature stops falling" All per-
sons who have climbed high noun
tains know the air is colder on top
than at the bottom. On a summer
day We may make snowballs on a
peak in the Rockies.
If we go even higher, we find the
air still colder. Men are in danger
OF freezing to death when they try
to climb such a peak as Mount
Everest.
Airplanes have gone into the STRAIT
osphere, and balloons have risen
higher than airplanes. Above a Ger
tain point, it has been found that
the temperature does not drop; in
fact 1t may rise a bit at extremely
high levels.

FAMOUS FOOTBALL
 PICTURES BOOKED
NOtre Dame Games to Be Shown at WOmen's Club
 Tomorrow Evening

One of the highlights of Notre Dame Night which is being held in Waterbury tomorrow evening by | local alumni of the famous South Bend, Ind, university will be show ing of moving pictures of the fa- nous football game of 1886 between Norte Dame and Ohio State. Sports fans may recall that the half ended with Ohio leading the South Bend- CTS 19-0. The game ended with Notre Dame on top 20-19.
 Thrillers like this and many more, including spectacular sequences from most of last falls gridiron encounters will be featured in the Notre Dame program, which is being staged at the Waterbury Wo- mems Club.
 Also included on the program will be a talk by Joe Roland, pre- sent line coach at Notre Dame. He will speak on the great Knute Rockne in whose memory this pro- ( nm in Waterbury and similar others throughout the nation are being held.
 Proceeds from such gatherings sponsored by local Notre Dame units, will be used to defray the final expenses of building the Notre Dame Field House at South Bend which when finished will be de- dicated to the great Knute, whose name is revered still at Notre Dame where he carved such niche for himself in footballs hall of fame.

PARK WILL OFFER
 SATURDAY DANCES
Sunday Hops Discontinued Due to Difficulties Get-
 ting Name Bands

Sunday night dancing at Hamil- ton Park will be discontinued tenn porarily because of the inability to the park department to book "big name" orchestras at the present time, it was learned today. Removed orchestras are being engaged for periods of three or four weeks in theaters throughout the country thereby causing a dearth of stellar bands in the bathrooms.
 Dancing will be continued as a part of the departments recreation program, however. Beginning this week dancing will be held at Hamil- ton Park on Saturday nights at an admission charge of 40 cents per person. Numerous requests for both round and square dances have been received by the department and these may be attempted in the near future.
 Cliff Slater and his band will be featured Saturday night.
 The regular Wednesday night Married Couples Dance" at the Chase Park House will be resumed tonight after a lapse of two weeks. The WPA dance orchestra under the direction of Michael Mancini will furnish music. The feature is very popular at Chase Park under Super visor Mildred Dunne.

 ceive the Honorary Degree of the Order, which will be conferred

 second time that such a degree has
 been eXemplified in Waterbury.
 A year ago twenty members of

 prising the Founders Week cele-
 bration.

 F. Maloney of the degree committee. Other members of the committee include: Roger Walsh, Charles

 which time the Honorary Degree
 is to be exemplied, with James German and Tobias Bannon in charge.

ELEPHANTS DANCE
 HERE NEXT MONTH
Adele NelsOn's Trained
 Animals to Feature GrOttO Circus

The saying that "an elephant never forgets," is to most people merely one of those traditional old saws that may or may not be true, but to Miss Adele Nelson, who will be at the Zindah Grotto Charity circus at the state armory, the week of March 13, with her dancing elephants it is a feet.
 Miss Nelson had the truth of the ancient adage illustrated to her in an unusual incident recently, but the story started thousands of miles away. She is a member of the fam ous native circus family, all mem- bers of which have become prom inent in one branch of the circus or another. She was an acrobat and aerialiSt and, unlike performers of this type who usually become clowns when they leave acrobatics, she turned to animal training.
 Knowing that Indian elephants are cleaner and easier to teach than African elephants, Miss Nelson went to India personally and picked three splendid animals for herself. She learned that little native boy Bomba, had known one elephant since the huge beast was born two years before, that they had beer friends, and that the little Indian boy often danced and did feats ot juggling to earn money to buy del icacies for the pachyderm. When she took the elephants away, the little boy was very blue but soon in the hurly-burly of her work she forgot about him. Recently she was appearing near Chicago with her elephants. Also on the bill was a young Hindu in troupe of jugglers and magicians. His name was Bomba.
 The old elephants trumpeted and acted up, and no one could under stand what was the matter. Finally Bomba recognized his friend and there was a grand reunion.
 Miss Nelson's elephants will be one of the many featured acts to be seen at the Zindah Charity Circus. Manager Frank Wirth has arranged a stellar bill and reports of advance ticket sales at circus headquarters on Grand Street, opposite the post office show that hundreds plan to turn out again to see Zindah Grotto's annual "big top" threat.
