Page Two High Life The Difference Between Use And Abuse of the Magazines There is a dii¥erence between the use of magazines and the abuse of them in our libra ry. Lately the awful fact that we have been abusing them has become apparent. Our li brarian, Miss Mildred Herring, states that this cannot continue. It may not be known to some students that the sum of $2,000 yearly is expended by the library. A portion of this needless to say, is spent on magazines apd their upkeep. Some of the misuses of magazines are cut ting (rather tearing) out coupons and qiiota- tions. The reason that this cannot be done is simple. It is just that copies of magazines are kept for about five years and bound, so that they may be used for future reference. "Why are they needed for future reference? There are students here at Senior who are required to write term papers, and frequently reference is made to back issues of magazines. Can you imagine yourself in the act of read ing a report of the atom bomb’s effect, and then finding a “hole” in part of the most important facts? It could happen to you, you know! Often, faculty members bring their own sets of magazines to be bound so that students may have the benefit of referring to them. After all, we should remember that the magazines are not kept for the librarian’s use, but for our own. Now, when a magazine literally collapses to pieces from use, we should be proud of it; but on the other hand, when it falls to its grave because of students tearing out stories, coupons and jokes, we should be very much ashamed. Are we ? Better still, need we have cause to be ashamed? In other words, we should cut out this “childish business” alto gether. In the future, if we need a quotation, joke, or some other excerpt from a magazine, copy it on paper, and let’s preserve our peri odicals. USE AND NOT ABUSE!

DISC and DAT By ELIZABETH McCULLOCH Another month is beginning, and here we are again with chatter ’bout those favorite platters. As you know, one of the newest hit tunes is none other than “I’ve Got My I.K)ve To Keep Me Warm.” This oldie by Irving Beilin, a Hit Parader also, is waxed by such artists as Les Brown,The Star Lighters, and The Ames Brothers. The Star Lighters’ version is soft, sweet, dreamy, and swell for dancing. Les Brown’s disc is very enchanting. The Ames Brothers’ platter, waxed by Decca, is one for your turntable. “Cruising Down The River”—well it’s not quite the time for this yet—but that’s the name of a new release by Russ Morgan. This bright, zippy, little tune is going places fast. Aso by Russ Morgan is “So Tired.” Platters By Capitol “You had better watch that heart of yours,” says ilel Tonne on his newest Capitol disc, “or it will fall into careless hands.” And “Careless Hands” happens to be the title. Mel's velvety voice makes this a n?iist for your collection. Something new in records has been disceil by Capitol. It is called “Hot Can ary.’’ Theres no vocal, just Paul Neo and his fiddle, making like a little birdie. (If you didn’t know better, you'd think it was a real bird.) Paul Weston and his Oi-ches- tra help to perfect this rendezvous with the canary. By the way, this disc isn’t at all like that crazy tune called “The Rooster.” Jo Stafford has jnst recorded a new disc, pairing ‘“rhe Prisoner of Love” with “The Traveling Salesman Polka.’’ The ♦ . * Personalities . * ♦ March II, 79^9 first teams Red Ingle with Jo, and its really non-sensical. The flip is an amusing western-style polka with Tex Williams assisting. Musical Blast At College I don't knO'W just how many of you went to see the humorous show, “Musical Depreciation Revue,” by Spike Jones (Clamor Boy) and his City Slickers; but it was truly an explosion. And you missed a grand ‘time too. You should have been and heard the drag-out, drown- out, work-out noise the Slickers misplaced on such familiar pieces as “Laura,” “That old Black Magic,” “Chloe,” “April Show ers,” “William Tell Overture,” “My Two Front Teeth’’ (their Christmas hit), and many others. The Orchestra is composed of such in struments as cowbells, wash boards, dish- pans, sirens, doorbells, horns, bubble gum, and flit guns (if you can call tliese items “instruments”).Spike’s boys are said to be the most skilled musicians in produ cing all sorts of strange musical sounds. (Sometimes yon wonder what kind of music it is. It's beyond your knowledge.) Professor Fiediebanm, Dr. Birdbath, Frankie Little, and Junior Martin are just four of the cast of 83. Spike and other musician.^, bored to death with the straiglit playing of popular tunes, would get together for jam sessions, and would kick around many of the favorites of the day. But of all places to meet! In a building adjoining a quiet burial ground! (Bet the dead arose from their beds to see what on earth was happening.) And that's how the music of the Slickers begjyi, with all its clatters and bangs. Myself (Fred Upchurch) At present I am a Junior in high school. Like other studevils, I am struggling with the same old subject—English, algebra, history, and chemistry. The first three aren’t very difficult, but chemistry is really rugged. The experiments done in the laboratory are lots of fun. Unfortun ately, much work must be done In order to fully understand the experiments. One must be able to explain many complicated scientific theories and law’s, to balance chemical equations, to diagram atoms and ions, and to write formulas. There is much more to chemistry than mixing things in test tubes. A person w’ouldn’t last long if he mixed chemicals without knowing exactly w’hat he was doing. An interesting example: common table salt is composed of two deadly poisons, chlorine and sodium. My Life . . . (Joan Huggins) I. being of sound mind and body, am going to write a few descriptive lines pertaining to myself. I am seventeen years old. I have been going to Senior high, the greatest little school in the world, for approximately one year and a half. I enjoy dancing, swimming, hiking and numerous other sports. Most of my classes are of the business nature, as I plan to. go into the business field after I graduate. I detest homework as much as anyone, but I can do it if it means the difference lietween passing and failing. I don’t have enough time to do all the things I would like to do, as I have many outside in terests other than school work. I love bright colors on other people. For myself, I prefer soft, dull pastels, greys, blacks, and browns. I could listen to Vaughn Monroe records all night. I am also par tial to some arrangements by Spike Jones. My Hobby (Margie Beanel It is said that everyone should have a hobby. I believe that my favorite hobby is collecting records. Since I have not been collecting them for long. I do not have many (very many) yet, but several Satur days ago I greatly increased my collection by buying eleven new ones. Of course, buying that many at one time is not an everyday experience for me; but I had saved my money for several weeks in order to have enough to pay for them. As soon as I returned home I put my PRE CIOUS new’ records on the record player and for hours on end played them over and over. I enjoy my hobby a great deal, and I spend a lot of time listening to my records. Bev^s Brevities By Beverly Baylor WHAT WOl LI) I\T5 DO WITHOUT; A cheerful “hello” from Bob (“Bon Juan”) Murray?

We hope that the fire will soon die down, and everything will be in the “pink” again. The LES SOEURS, those gals who are having the big caper-cutting tonight, had quite a scare the other day when ANNE RUDD called the manager of Starmount CountO’ Club to see if evei*>’thiiig was in order. ANNE’S face suddenly went white when the manager reported that the club had already been engaged on March 11 for a private party. The future looked blighter, however, when ANNE discovered that MRS. CHALK (BEV’S mother) had made reservations for the dance in her name. Congratulations! to Dora Ami Bowden on her coming nuptials. The date has been set for sometime in June, but Dora Ana think.?
