Monroe Qualities
Leaders Who Turn Actor
BY CHARLES GENTRY

SINCE WE'VE always felt that
orchestra leaders may be good
guys, but are generally bad actors.
we want to see how Vaughn Mon
roe. the handsome baritone baton
weilder who is currently appear
ing al Eastwood Park, felt about
the deal.
You see. Vaughn'S first picture,
Meet the People in which he
appears with such famous folk as
Lucille Ball and Dick Powell,
opens Friday at the Michigan.
But we found Vaughn quite
reticent on the subject.
How can tell?" Monroe
asked US. AS for myself,
think I'm pretty awful. although
my mother and my wife seem
10 like me on the screen.
can't talk about my colleagues,
even IL ! wanted 10. I've seen
LOT Of them like Dorsey and
Savitt stage some excellent mu-
steal sequences, hut l wouldn't
attempt 10 qualify as n critic of
their acting. That's your Job.
Personally, feel that band
leader who had ambitions to be
come screen actor. would. first
OF all, have TO give up his band
and devote himself 10 one pro-
fessien at time. This, of
course, have no intention Of
doing. even IL they wanted me,
which i am not so sure they
do"

Freshman Day

The old, honored and helpful custom Of
holding Freshman Day at the high school is
not to be affected by the prospect of peace
in Europe or, unless there is a sudden change
in the situation, the limited presence of infan.
tile paralysis in the community.
1t is set for next Friday. Freshmen will
gather for pep meeting first and then at
tend preparatory classes throughout the morn.
ing. Thereafter, they will be taken into fel.
lowship by older classmen for tour of the
building.
The benefit Of this is that when regular
classes open on Monday they will have be.
come familiar not only with the lay Of the
plant itself but have formed acquaintance
among pupils and teachers which will dispeu
a large part Of the loneliness everybody feels
in new surroundings and among strangers.
We know Of no better morale builder for
freshmen than this special day set aside for
their introduction to their new environment.
ihis Is one occasion which should be notable
for the complete absence Of absenteeism.
