Cover Story
Solo Turning Into Trio?
By BERNIE HARRISON


It's been something less than hilarious
year for Jerry Lewis but the same could be
said Of nearly every comedian with the excep-
ton possibly Of Ed Wynn.
And Mr.. Wynn's strong point this season.
in addition to q serene private life that hasn't
been written about In Look. the Saturday Eve
ming Post or Confidential, not yet, that isis
that he isn't playing comedy at all Mr.. Wynn
Is acting.
The dissolving of the Martin-Lewis partner
ship, after many previous blowups, was the UNI
funny event Of the year in the careers Of both.
Maybe 1t should have happened long ago.
or maybe 1t shouldn't have happened at all. But
1t did, and Jerry and Dean and their advisors
had to sit down, divide their joint holdings, re-
negotiate contracts and cogitate on their next
steps as solo performers.
As II this wasn't problem enough. the air
was filled with acrimonious references by both
parties that were gleefully reported coast-to-
coast. Martin and Lewis finally stopped this
silly talk, but q couple Of magazines kept the
feud going long after 1t oficially had ended.
Lewis, who 10 only 81, appears to have his
future well charted. a zany, frenetic performer
on stage, Lewis talks seriously and assuredly
about his career In private.

Red Cross
Our class was head of the Red
Cross drive for the sixth grade.
We had two different people go to
every 9Th grade room each of the
three days the drive was on. Each
day we had slogan. We took the
slogan (Which we said aloud and
poster for each room to keep for
that day.
Every member that gave money
to the Red Cross got a Red Cross
button and had his or her name
placed on the Red Cross chart.
Our room is proud to say that we
raised eleven dollars. We had 100
per cent donation. That means that
everybody in our room gave some
thing.

Mr.. Simpsons class likes soccer
best of all the games we play. The
girls didn't think they would like
it but they did. We play other
games, too, such as spud, hockey.
softball, Newcomb ball, and hand
polo. We have lot of fun playing
these games.

Our Art Glass
In Art this year our class is do
ing some very interesting things.
We learned about the three basic
colors and about the combining of
other colors. Each of us has made
several interesting pictures. Sew
eral of our pictures were selected
to be put in the school window
down town. Art in our school is
not just made up of drawing pic
lures. We also weave baskets and
study about different things that
have to do with colors l am sure
we will do more interesting things
in Art this year.
Donna Howell
Music
This year in Music we are having
fun. We have been learning new
songs and reviewing old ones.
This year there were four peo-
pie in our room to go with Mrs.
Bennett (our music teacher) to
Salisbury to concert. In the mu-
sic class before the concert we
studied on it and learned some
things about the concert before we
went to Salisbury
In chorus we have been learn
ing new Christmas Carols and old
ones. We are planning now to go
to the Century Club and sing some
songs for the people.

Savings Stamps
Our room is part of the Savings
Stamp plan. The Stamp Day is on
Tuesday of every week. We fill our
albums with ten cent Savings
Stamps. Gary Aber has made
graph to show how many stamps
we get every week. Two girls take
the money for the stamps, count
it, and give it to the teacher. Then
a boy from another room picks up
the money and later comes back
with the Savings Stamps. That is
how we work our Savings Stamp
Day. Buying Stamps is a good way
to save. You can get up to $500
by saving only ten cents regularly.
