Countess Andrassy
To Lecture Tuesday
_ Alaking^ peace with the Commu
nists is like keeping a pact with
cobras and tigers, says Countess
btella Andrassy, who will appear at
bt. Mary’s Junior College on De
cember 7, 1954. At Christmas time
in 1944, she had fled before the
pillaging Eussian army, carrying
with her (among other things) a box
of kitchen towels and some priceless
vyorks of religious art. “Many an
tiques have come to the United
States,” she remarks with wry hu
mor, “but none with greater diffi
culty than these.”
_ Well-known as an editor and pub
lisher, the Countess is the author of
“Pustan ^ Hrinner,” published in
Sweden in 1948 and running into
seven editions and various transla
tions. It gives a vivid account of
her own experiences and has been
described as one of the outstanding
books to come out of World War II.
AH Star Players
. The Mu’s defeated the Sigma’s
0-1 on November 22 to clinch the
annual hockey title. It was a well-
fought game, but the Sigma’s were
no match for the determined Mu
eleven.
Previously the Sigma’s had won
the first game by a score of 3-2, and
the Mu’s had triumphed in the sec
ond game also by a score of 3-2. In
the final game the triumphant Mu’s
pushed a strong offensive drive and
scored five goals in the first period.
efforts to stop the charging
Mu team were ill-spent. The equal
ly strong AIu backfield checked all
but one Sigma attempt to score. The
Mu s are to be commended for a
well-played game.
Eleven of the most outstanding
players from the Sigma and Mu
teams were chosen for an all-star
team. The girls selected were Tonya
Gamble, Nancy Smith, Sara Wal
ters, Beth Kemper, , Carol Oates,
Carolyia Seyffert, Betsy Duke, Dee-
Dee DeVere, Ann Gillett, Ellen
Clarkson, and Harriett Mardre.
