SMYRNA MAN
MAKES VOYAGE
Simon M0ll Returns From
Many Adventures In
GlamOrOus Places
VISITS KING TUT'S TOMB

Simon Moll, world traveller, re-
turned to his home in Smyrna
late in March after a trip through
the Mediterranean area and the
Middle East. He visited in twen-
ty different countries, and had
many adventures in colorful and
glamorous places. While in Cairo,
Egypt he had his picture taken
while riding a camel against the
background of the Pyramids and
the Sphinx. He went by plane
over the desert to Luxor. where
he visited King Tut's Tomb, and
later Karnak Tomb One of the
outstanding places he visited was
at Marraketch, in French Moroc-
co, and he found Taormina, Sicily
one of the most beautiful spots in
the world. His trips took him to
Cacablanca, and to Istanbul, where
he visited the mosques; he climb
ed the Acropolis at Athens,
Greece. A visit to Israel included
a trip to Jerusalem, and he visit
ed in Haifa and Tel-Aviv, and saw
the Sea of Galilee and the River
Jordan. An unusual and interest
ing experience was that of seeing
the eruption of Stromboli, ter
rifying and beautiful sight one
early morning. The tour took him
also to Barcelona, Spain,and to
Lisbon, Portugal, and to Italy
where he visited all of the con-
ventional places covered by tour
lists, and flew over Mt. Aetna
Probably the most fascinating
place visited was at the Darden-
elles where the tourists were
shown the Iron Curtain laid by
Russia at the Black Sea between
Asia and Europe. But Wnat VIII
be remembered longest were three
hurricanes passed through for two
days and two nights on the re-
turn to this country by ship. 1t
was the worst of his many trips
to various parts of the world.
The storms were so severe that
the seventy-five foot crystal bar
was damaged, plate glass windows
smashed, twenty windows blown
out on the lower deck, and water
in the cabins. Mr.. Moll has val
liable souvenirs of his trip and
colored slides which are shown to
his friends.

TO SECURE FUNDS

The David c. Harrison Post No.

voted to hold their annual ambu-
lance drive starting June 10 and
ending August 6, 1855. This meth
,od of securing funds for the con-
tinuance of the Legion Ambulance

year, due to conflicting dates with
other organizations of this area,

fusing. 1t is hoped this year the
drive may be concluded success
fully. Residents of the communi-
ties served by the Legion Amou-

responded in friendly and gener-
GUS manner to the request of
Legion solicitors for aid. This
factor is indeed most encouraging
to the members who strive both
day and night in an unselfish eff

and save a life if possible. The

ANNUAL SPRING
CARNIVAL HELD
Estimated Crowd of Over
1000 See Annual Spring
Event Tuesday
COLORFUL SPECTACLE

Every seat in the auditorium
was taken and a large number of
persons stood at the back and in
the front corridor of the Smyrna
High School on Tuesday night to
see the annual spring carnival of
the Physical Education Depart
ment and the May Court. 1t was
estimated by school officials that
one thousand saw the colorful
spectacle. The stage had been
decorated by the art department
under the direction of Miss Dor
othy Kirby, and the professional of
the May Queen, Janis Dixon, and
the King, Robert Reed and their
court, was followed by the dances
and demonstrations of the stu
dents. "Showtime, U.S.A." was
the theme and the mood was set
for each of the dance or gym
nastic numbers by the appearance
of a large two-seated red wagon,
drawn by high school boys, in
which girls carried placards indi-
eating the various places where
the "show" was being produced.
They included New York, featur-
ing tap dancers and stunts; Phil
adelphia, square dance; Smyrna,
games; Chicago, tap and modern
dance; Tennessee, American schot-
tische; Mississippi, modern dance,
to "OT Man River. The May
Pole dance had as musical back
ground "Gaiete Parisienne." Py-
ramids and balloon dance, by
Grade 8-3 girls, featured Okla
homa; Arizona, square dancers;
California served as background
to judo exhibition, tumbling, ap-
paratus, and parallel bar work;
and the Canadian finale featured
an Indian scene, with appropriate
dances. Each scene had back
ground busic suitable to its flavor.
Miss Luz Kerr, a senior of Span
ish lineage, was the star of the
show and an outstanding hit in a
solo dance of New Mexico, La
Chiapenecas" which was perform
ed with great verve and beauty.
Assisting Miss Jane Reed and
William Horney with the carnival
were Frank Ryan, Harrington
Florist, Miss Kirby, Frank Stella
tella, George Galley, Miss Joyce
Riley, dance assistant and the
Leaders Club, as well as all fac
ulty and staff.

cooperation and leadership in this
