roles are George Chakris as
bernardo" and Rita Moreno
as "Anita". Both Chakiris and
Moreno are destined to become
motion picture greats as re-
suit Of their moving portrayals
in "West Side Story". The part
of "Riff" is excellently taken
by Russ Tamblyn. There are
also the "Jets" and the
"Sharks", two teenage gangs
whose belligerent instincts re-
suit in one of the most explosive
tales of racial tension ever told.
To tell any further details
about this film, especially in
regard to the plot, would de-
stroy the theatre-goer's eve
ming.
To describe the movie in one
word is difficult task.
Phenomenal will have to suffice.
That "West Side Story" is
phenomenal is to say the very
least. "West Side Story" begins
an engagement at Schine's Mil
ford Theatre, beginning March

community.
Mrs. Lewis was born Dec. 20,
.1902, In Batavia, N. Y, the
daughter os Mr.. and Mrs. Fred
-Engle. She received her educa-
.tion In Batavia Schools and
sGenesco IN. Y.) State Normal
School and at the John Hopkins
Hospital School Of Nursing in
Baltimore.
Her marriage, on. June 8,
1927, to Robert r. Lewis, a
medical school student, cli-
NAKED a romance that began
when both we're in junior high
school al Batavia. According to
her husband, the romance that
began while he and the future
Mrs. Lewis we're eighth grade
classmates has persisted with
out a break for nearly fifty
years."
After graduation from high
school In June 1918, the future
Mrs. Lewis enrolled for a sum-
mer course at Genesco State
Normal School, received the
equivalent of a two-year GER
tificate and that Fall began
teaching In a small rural school.
She later advanced to a larger
school where she taught all eight
grades and successfully pre-
pared a number of the upper
class students for State Regents
Examinations.
Perhaps influenced by the fact
that her fiance had decided to
90 into. medicine, the future
Mrs. Lewis decided upon
nursing career and enrolled In
the John Hopkins School of
Nursing. Shortly after grad
uating from Nursing School In
1927 came her marriage to Mr..
Lewis who had Just completed
his second year in medical
school. She subsequently as
sumed the position of Assistant
Superintendent of Nurses at the
Infant Summer Hospital in
Rochester, where her husband
was then pursuing his medical
studies.
Later she accepted an ap-
pointment as assistant Superin-
tendent of Nurses at Clifton
Springs Sanitarium and con-
tinued In this position until 1880
when she resigned and became
njust a house wife,. In March
OF 1882, the Lewises' first son,
Robert DENLY, was born.

Federal Aid-tO-Education Plan

WE have long had simple little idea
" concerning federal aid to education,
to-wit: Set up an interest-free loan fund
for any high school graduate to go to
college. A panel Of local people, includ-
ing the superintendent of schools, pro-
fessional man and business man could
review the students record in high
school and make recommendation for
or against such loan.
The loan should be large enough to
make the student self-supporting and it
should carry him through college and
graduate school, if he desires. The loan
could be paid back Ono interest charges)
starting ten years after his graduation
from college.
The government eventually would get
all its money back, and even in the event
of a few failures, the overall increase
in income Of these people throughout
their lives would mean additional in
come tax collected.
By no stretch of the imagination, we
think, could anyone believe this would
lead to federal control of our education
al system.
