Sororities at Wilson
Work Together to
Aid Girl Cadets
BY CLAIRE JENNINGS, II.
Woodrow Wilson High School

Woodrow Wilson High School
Inc recently organized Girl Ca
dets OF Woodrow Wilson High
School were in dire need of re-
cruits. Calls for volunteers were
issued at assemblies and through
posters placed in the corridors. but
without appreciable results. What
was the matter with the school
spirit which was always so evident
at Wilson?
Well, the answer seemed to be
that many girls hesitated to Join
a new organization unless they felt
sure it would grow in both size and
Importance And they just didn't
feel that way about the cadets.
Then the various sororities took
hold OF the situation. their officers
suggesting that all members become
cadets. A special meeting was held.
and the turnout was very encour-
aging. .
When the day came for the ca
diets to accept new recruits. all these
sorority girls marched to the ar
mory. Omega Phi. Lamba Sigma
Gamma Phi and Sigma Delta Nu
were all we'll represented. And. as
a result Of the sororities' efforts
! the membership of the cadets has
nearly doubled
Now the Wilson Girl Cadets are
an organization that other schools
with similar groups will have to
reckon with seriously in the next
competitive drills.

Hindemith New Opus
To Be Performed

The Gertrude Clarke Whittall
Foundation in the Library of Con-
gress will sponsor two concerts of
chamber music in the Coolidge Au-
dltorium of the Library on Thursday
and Friday evenings. The Budapest
String Quartet will present the same
program on both nights, a program
OF unusual significance because it
includes the first performance of a
new string quartet by Paul Hinde-
NTH.
Mr.. Hindemith, born in Germany
IN 1895, has long been recognized
as one of the worlds most eminent
composers. Early hailed as a great
genius, and one of the boasts of
modern Germany, his freedom low
ing character and art soon became
the object of attack by Nazi author
tiles. Consequently, he was forced
into voluntary exile from his native
land. He is now member of the
faculty of the school of music in
Yale University.
The new string quartet. in E fat,
was completed at New Haven on
May l6. l943. Its production at the
forthcoming Whittal concerts will
be an important event all the more
so since Mr.. Hindemith has not
written a string quartet since 1924.
Besides the work by Mr.. Hindemith,
the program will contain the String
Quartet in G major, Op 81, No. L."
by Haydn, and the String Quartet
in F major, Op. SO, No. l." by Bee
thoven. The concert will begin at
SIS pm.

message. Sailors and officers of the
entire fleet were told. England ex-
poets every man to do his duty"
Aboard the Victory, the admiral
pressed into the thick of the conflict.
In three hours, the main part of the
fighting was over.
Fifteen French or Spanish vessels
were sunk that afterrCon and two
weeks later the British captured four
.of those which had fled. On the
British side, not single warship
was lost:
So ended the Battle of Trafalgar,
but in the midst of it Admiral Nelson
fell mortally wounded. He was car
ried below deck and before he died
was given news of British success.
Il have done my duty" he said as
he lay dying.
Horatio Nelson, often spoken OF
as Lord Nelson, was Al years old at
the time of his death. He has been
called the greatest admiral In his
tory. His success at sea did a great
deal to wear down the power Of
Napoleon.

I shouldn't take the time today
To tell you what I want to say,
But it's been on my mind so long
It's running through it like a song
I thought when I grew up, at last
Tales mother told me of the past
Would seem old fashioned and SO
queer,
Like olden memories held dear.
Like sleigh rides on winter night
Or strolling in the moonlight bright
And skating on the clear cold ice
With all her friends who were SO
nice.
Things I'd like would so different be
Maybe atoms or iSms or electricity
Those old-fashioned times were not
for me,
A modern daughter of 43.
But I almost hang my head In
shame.
And I have to admit with the utmost
I, too, like parties, sleighrides and
I'm old-fashioned as my grandmoth-
er'S shawl!

Council and Judge
Maintain Discipline
At Mount Rainier
By BARRY BROSNAHAN, l3,

Mount Rainier CMd) High School.
The students of Mount Rainier
High School have their own law
enforcement" system-and it's pro-
ducing excellent results.
Representative of various classes
comprise the Senior Council, pre-
sided over by a Judge" whose duty
it is to keep order. Some of the
offenSes for which students are
brought before the council are run
ming in halls or on stairways, going
to lockers between classes, eating
in gym, wearing hard-soled shoes
on gym floor and destroying school
property.
Most such offenSeS are committed
unintentionally, but, of course, there
are a few students who just don't
care, and they pay the penalty. The
most common sentences meted out
by the judge are cleaning locker
rooms. sweeping home room, empty
ing trash baskets and picking up
paper from school grounds.
This system may seem a bit dras-
tic, but it is giving our school an
orderly and gDwn-up type of dis
cipline, and the majority of the
students are heartily in favor of it.

Some persons say they cannot sue
coed in what they want to do be-
cause Of i'll health but many men
and women have proved that this is
not always a good excuse. In spite OF
sickness, they have won the objects
which they have set out to reach.
Horatic Nelson never was very
strong in body. From boyhood, he
met one illness after another, Yet
he rose to high rank in the British
navy, and won the Battle Of the
Nile on August l, 1913.
From the time he became a cap
tain, Nelson, was a good friend OF
the men under his command. He did
all he could for their comfort, and
made sure they were paid proper
wages. AS a result, the sailors be-
came very fond Of him.
During one of his battles Nelson
lost his right ram, and in another
be was blinded in one eye. After the
Battle of the Nile he was hailed as
one of Britain'S great heroes, and
was given the title of Baron Nelson
of the Nile" He also was voted
yearly pension of $4,000. The rulers
of Russia and Turkey sent him rich
presents. They, too, were pleased
that heavy blow had been dealt
Napoleon.
Napoleon, however, was far from
being knocked out of the war. Some
of his most important victories on
land were ahead of him. Even on
the sea, he was to grow dangerous
again.
The year 1905 saw the most i'm
portant of all Nelson's battles. the
Battle of Trafalgar. Cape Trafalgar
is south of the city of Cadiz Spain,
and is near the Atlantic entrance of
the Strait of Gibraltar. Nelson was
in command of the fleet Of 81 British
Warships which sailed to attack a
larger French and Spanish fleet.
Thirty-three vessels with 2640
cannon were ranged against Nelson
on an October day. The British had
only 2,138 cannon, but they had the
service of a skillful leader. He
planned the battle in such q way
that the enemy fleet could be tut
in two.
Before the actual fighting started,
Admiral Nelson issued his famous

vegetables had been picked, she and
her mother, with the assistance of
a neighbor, would spend the rest OF
the morning canning. With so many
vegetables, this was a long and not
job. But looking at the pleasing
array of corn, tomatoes. beans, peas
and squash along her pantry shelves,
she declared it was well worth the
labor.
Not all the vegetables went into
the pressure cooker Some of the
choice ones Norma cleaned end put
into a large freezing room, where all
their juicy freshness will be pre-
served through the winter.
Besides the canning, Norma made
the butter for the household and
gathered the eggs.
This is Norma's third year on a
farm. Previously, she was a resident
of Southeast Washington. Last year
she went to Maryland school which
is near her home However. she de-
cided this year that it was worth
the early rising and long trip to
come back to Anacostia.

for myself and others who are inter

hobby is the collecting. repairing
and shooting of old muzZle loading
Kentucky rifles. This is the type
which was used by the sarly pio-
neer and backWoodSmen when
America got its start The pioneer
regarded his rifle as his friend and
a main source of food and protection
in the vast forests. Rifles Of this type
have existed for nearly 200 years, the
individual pieces varying slightly,
but never radically different.
BY good fortune, I happen to be
the sole owner of three rifles which
were made before the Revolutionary
War One has a written history stat
ing its use in the Revolution.
These rifles are probably the
incest ever produced by gunsmith
They are sturdy, long, slender and
very graceful. and are made with
curly maple stocks. usually inlaid
with star in Checkplece, a patch
box with graceful lock
Il value my rifles very much and
couldn't be persuaded to sell them
Furthermore. l take pride in having
them perform on the range as they
did many, many years ago Their
accuracy has lasted through the
years and cannot be eQualed by any
modern rife on l00-yard range
'As you probably know by now, I
also shoot these old rifles. Since
these rifles are not repeaters. I hope
some day to help bring back the old
saying that one hit is worth a hun

and members Of his band. Then,
after the picture and stage show are
over, she goes backstage and chats
with the band leader and other
members Of the show whom she has
come to know as friends.
However, it wasn't easy for her to
become SO friendly, as she says that
her first visit backstage was achieved
by sneaking in. How she did this
is, of course, trade secret"
Virginia has filled six books with
autographs Of more than 500 stage
characters. Only 100 of the 500 are
very we'll known. Here are a few
of her priced signatures: Bing Cros-
by, Paul Henreid, Claudette Colbert,
Charles Boyer, Bob Hope, Don
Ameche, Monte Woolley, George
Murphy. jeanette Macdonald, Sam
my Kaye, John Boles, Martha Raye.
Jimmy Dorsey, Martha Scott, Ethel
Barrymore, Claire Trevor-and,
gosh, get all out of breath trying
to keep up with her autographs!
She went out to lunch with George
Murphy. and here's something you
Frank Sinatra fans will envy-shs
not only has his autograph, she ac-
tually walked down the street with
him once!
She was once offered s25 for her
autograph of Irving Berlin. She did
not accept the offer, as the sigma
ture was worth more to her than
the money.
Bob Hope, meeting her for the
second time, exclaimed, Not you
again. When Jackie Cooper came
to town, Virginia fumbled through
her purse for what seemed hours
looking for her fountain pen, which
was clutched tightly in her hand all
the time. She finally came away
with the autograph.
Virginia is looking forward to
meeting more celebrities and OBJ,
tanning their autographs.
