Following this the cabinet men,
bers put on skits of the coming
events in this semester's program.
The first program, discussion
of boy-girl relationships by Mrs.
Polly, was portrayed by Elmer
Yovanne, as Mrs. Polly, Gerry
Ricciardi the love-sick boy, and
Carolyn Miller the domineering
girl friend. Before they could get
away, in walked Sylvia Green, act
ing as cosmetologist ready to help
Doris Scharlott put little Pan
cake Mix on her face.
The next was a square dance
with an experienced fiddler, Mari
lyn lamont and four dancers:
Marlene Tartaglia, Jane Marley,
Alice Andrews and Janet-Sampson.
On the more serious side was
Betty Deters going to the joint
Hi-Y Friendship Formal with
Mary Hoge. Mary was an upset
girl when the boy, Betty, accident
tly (?) stepped on her formal and
tore the skirt off.
No one could quite understand
the next act because Jean Vein
kamer's French couldn't get along
with Jane Morley's Spanish but be-
tween them the audience got some
laughs.
The skits being completed, the
cabinet members sang a new
Friendship song while refresh
ments were being served.
Everyone enjoyed themselves and
went home looking forward to an
exciting semester.

on Washington's outstanding

Using Metropolitan Police De-

pointed out that the Capital suf-

able cities.
washington ought to be Amer
lea as its Sunday best" writes
Howard Whitman, especially in
"a sesquicentennial year expected
to double the usual 4 million Wis
itors annually.
Crime breeds along with dis
ease in the city's alley slums,
and Negroes are ghettoized in
these slums," Mr.. Whitman con-
tinues.
He points out that while 76, per
cent of those arrested for serious
crimes in fiscal 1949 were Negroes,
"the Fourteenth precinct has one
of the best crime records in the
city, and it's predominantly
Negro"
Although Washington has an
outstanding record for arrest, con-
viction and punishment of Grim
inals, the police are spread too
thin, especially foot patrolmen on
