1t isn't surprising that glamour
bob pianist Jane Clemens received
an honors cup for extracurriculal
activities when she graduated from
Mary Washington College in June
OF 43. Between examining for
monthly quizzes, Jane played drums
in the school orchestra and piano in
the dining hall, taught voice at 4

played the organ in chapel and di-

ever: a few like our Army captain
sit tight and bask patiently in the
spotlight.
The spectator had hunch that
Frankson, the Embassy Rooms cele-
brated magician who does those
positively battling things with
lighted cigarettes, probably never
touched the stuff of1stage. Sorry
