This week at the Klon movies Andy Hardy and his snp])orting cast, the Hardy family, will give another of th(‘ir delightful and eutcrli^in- ing porforiiiances. The title of the picture will be, “Life Hegins For Andy Hardy”. In this picture Andy decides it is time for him to go to New York and iiiakt! a i>lace for himself in the world. 'Throughout the picture yini live with him the heartbreak of going jobless, the tragedv of being played for a sucker, and the general misfortune tliat conics to a stranger in a big town. 'I’lie ]iieture has its moments of sorrow, of (‘(unedv, and in general is another one in tlii' long line of hits that is accredited to the Harily family. On A))ril 17 and li^ (Mark (iablu and Rosa line Russell are appearing in, “They ilet In Bombay’’. The picture has as its setting the Far Hast, that ]>lace you will renienibcr where our iVoldiers are making such a gallant stand along with our allies against the onrushing Japs. ’I’hings were (|uite different over there, however, when the scenes in the piii.ure were taking jilace. Gable and Russel are jewel thieves and are^ after the same jewels, but each one doesn’t know the other is a thief and because of this fact the audience is given many laughs Ix’fore the iiictiire is over. 'I'liis is a show that slunild be enjoyed by any movie-goer and shouldn’t I)o missed. DON'T WAIT ... ACT TODAY 1. Take this announcement to the Dean of your college. 2.

Atiril 10, 11)12 Dear Dr. Smith, We, the students of Elon (’ollege, wish to express our aiipreciation for the holiday ou Faster Monday. Since we aren't having Spring Holidays this year, due to the present day situations, we feel ’that this holiday has done us a lot of gtxid. It has given us a break which we all need every once in a while. .\gain we want to thank you and the achninis- tration for your kind consideration and ctHipera- tion. We are really getting down to some good, hard work, uow. Sincerely yours. The Student Bcnly Ballet: What you play croquet with. Drizzle: Two drips going steady. I’itching woo: A chinese baseball player. Glub: Baby talk for a caniiius sorority or fraternity. Bomb: A fellow who loafs all the time. ScKla straw: Paper wrapped arounil a hole. Crackers: Noisy ducks. Data: Slang for “got to”. Y'ehudi: The little man who pulls up the next piece of Kleenex. Cake: What you can’t have and eat too. Inches: A tickling sensation. ■ Far: What you kee^j warm by-. Xeck: A verb; also a ))astinie. Tree: What money doesn't grow on. Soul: What you tranij) on. Hick: A drunk’s by-word. Draft: An e.xposure which may prove fatal. Glass boat: What Hitler has so he can see liis navy. Inebriated: State of kissing the door good night and leaning against your girl. We choose a short book to read this time be cause we were lazy. We thought we would get through in a hurry and get some sleep. Instead we found that the book we chose packed more punch than anything we have read lately. We should have been warned by the name of the au thor, but as we have said before, we were asleep. The name of the author is John Steinbeck. The book is a book of today. It runs only 188 small pages and goes by the simple title of The iloon is Down, yet hidden in all this is real piwer, for what ilr. Steinbeck is dealing w'ith is nothing more or less than the universal hunger of iieople to be free. His theme is sinqily that free men don't like to be coniiuered, and that it is therefore difficult if not impossibl.e to conquer tliem. The first lines take you right into the story: “By 10:45 it was all over. The town \vas occu pied, the defenders defeated, the war finished.” In most books the above ipiotation would be the end, but in this book, it is only the beginning. Passive resistance begins, and iiresently develops into sabotage, all the time keeping up the story of a free people who want to stay free. The.book in its simple way packs a real wallop, the sting of a warning and the caress of a hope. It shows us what can happen and yet it shows how even then true free men can keep up. the fight.
