A recent letter to the Junior Star
told Of some OF the good work"
being done by Buddy Garrison, q
Roosevelt High School pupil, and
his orchestra.
Buddy and his musicians weren't
entirely unknown to me. I'd seen
q mention Of them few weeks be-
fore In the Woodrow Wilson High
School Beacon. An article about
the schools first Friday Mite
Club" Of the season had said: 'That
the students approved the orchestra,
under the direction OF Buddy Gar
rison, as strictly solid was shown
by long list OF Wilsonites seen
dancing and enjoying the music"
But the letter had much to add
to my knowledge Of Buddy's musi-
cal activities. It was from Beverly
Sperling, also of Roosevelt, and
1t told how Buddy and his friends
had spent the summer producing
dance music "for hundreds of stu
dents at one Of our school coor cam
teens. Aside from af1ording pleas
ure,' the letter continued, Buddy
and the boys have performed q
great many services for their coun-
try by donating their musical tall
ent at War Bond rallies"
Twice in recent weeks, Beverly
reports, Buddy and his orchestra
have played for War Bond dances
at the Shoreham-once for the
Ezras Talmud Torah Student Coun-
Gil and the other time for the B'nai
Birth Victory Girls.
Despite Beverly's reference to the
orchestra as "the boys" the group
includes girl, Gloria Graham. The
other members ara Hank Bisgood,
Ted Gregory. Stats Molloy, Jack
Macdonald and Johnnie Payne.
Beverly's letter concludes: tits
Buddy Garrison and people like
him who for continuing the good
work they have begun should be
recognized and thanked"
A very nice letter, that, but 1t
doesn't say a word about Beverly
Sporting and the equally good work
she has been doing. It remained
for another Roosevelt pupil, Evelyn
Lehman. to tell about that.
Beverly. says Evelyn, Is vice presi-
dent Of the Student Council, secre-
tary OF the RIOTERS Club, acting sec
rotary Of the Interhigh Council,
member of the Glee Club, choir and
French Club, and has a part in the
operetta. And, as If all those activ-
tiles weren't enough to keep any girl
busy, Evelyn writes:
She has taken her spare time to
entertain boys in the service. BY
this, mean she has organized Red
Cross shows for the bedridden boys
in Forest Glen convalescent section
Of Walter Reed Hospital. These boys
appreciate the entertainment whole
heartedly."
Junior jottings: The series of plays
being given at the National Theater
under sponsorship Of the Children s
Museum are well worth the time of
any boy or girl. The next one, THE
Princes Secret" is scheduled for De-
cember 9. Others will follow on De-
cember q, January q and March "A.
-. Holy Cross Academy's newspaper,
the Cleaner. has been given the "All
Catholic" award by the Catholic
School Press Association. Coolidge
High School held a fashion show
recently, with these girls serving as
models: Dorothy Pierce, Nellie Mag
nus, Jean Hollswell, Marie Bataglia,
Lois Mari, Charlotte Sullivan, Janice
Rowland, Jean Newell, Jean Pun
phrey. Nancy Bonanno, Diane Taylor
and Florence Utz. And it was a
great Success, judging by an enthusi-
astic note from, Peggy chrisman.
Music is the hobby of Marcia
Michaux, Banneker Junior High
School. when I come home from
school," she writes, II do my work,
and the rest Of the time play the
piano. like to listen to music on
the radio and then try to pick the
