Metropolitan, is, among other
things, something of a curiosity, In
that it sets forth a parade of fic-
tional adventures of a pair Of real
people. 1t is, you hardly need to

Emily Kimbrough's gay story oi
their early life and times, which
seems to have had such success on
the Nations screens that Paramount
thought its leading characters
should be perpetuated. Perpetu-

they themselves long since have
passed the point where the new
film takes them up. which is q

are not biographical, it is pointed

in the leading roles, with Brian Dom

 Exclaimed Betty, "I'm prouder to refuse the medal than I would be to accept it. After all we have all races in our school and we have practiced tolerance. We get along together fine, so why should I do anything to recognize the OAR which discriminates against Negroes especially?"

THE THOUGHT OF THE WEEK

Faith is the stimulus that halts defeat and an antitoxin against despair. However great or small the task before us is, if we have enough faith in our ability to per form it, the desired results will be accomplished. For we are only ca pable of doing what we ourselves believe we can.
 To believe in ourselves is vl- tai necessity. For no matter what our friends think we can do, un- less we believe that we can, their faith is futile.
 Faith is power for it will en- able us to face with assurance what is seemingly impossible. It will unlock the hugest of doors and will build for us a bridge across despair.
 It is an inexhaustible fund from which we can draw at will. And as a light for the dark corners, it will dispel our doubts and fears. A staunch friend, it will never leave us alone or fall us when the odus are great.
 When the shadows of hopeless ness darkens the halls of our lives just little faith will tighten the way. The days may be lonely anG the heartaches great, but faith will lend us enough of the sort o1 desperate strength and courage we need to see us through.
 "Faith is the daughter of the soup and vestibule where we he believes that he can.
