Loft an orphan at the age of three (she was born Emma Baugh and took the name her adopted par ents gave her), she spent her early years in the pursuit of health. Her first dancing lessons were purely theraputic, a means of building up her strength. When her father died she was left to support herself—a serious matter for even a renowned solo dancer in that stronghold of culture, the U. S. A. For several years she danced the few comedy solo parts in the Chicago Opera Com pany, but opera ballets are notorious ly dead for solo dancers and she soon joined the Ballet Eusse, touring in I the winter and performing in thea tre stage shows (among them. Radio ^ City Music Hall) and night clubs, j all the while studying under such ,j teachers as Celli, Caton, l^imura and Staats, in Paris. But her sense of the ridiculous in life and art had made her a marked woman—for- tunatly for the thousands who re joice to see her poke fun at their foibles and frailties—and soon her phenomanal tours of Europe and America were giving both the world- at-large and the dance world a much- needed shot in the arm. "Dancing,” says Miss Kitcheli, "more than any other art, becomes absolutely ridiculous the moment it is taken too seriously.” She re calls vividly the moment the great light dawned on her. "It was dur ing a ballet class when I was a stu dent. A dozen or so other young ladies and myself had been practic ing arabesques for hours.” Arab esques,' to the benighted layman, are—well, arabesques. "They make you feel so Esthetic for a while, ’ ’ ATiss Kitcheli continued. "But when you get a whole roomful of bouncing wholesome prairie flowers doing arabesques with the rapt ethereal expression that goes with arabesques—well, me, I burst out laughing and haven’t stopped yet. ’ ’ The dance, however, is not the only target of Miss Kitcheli’s high ly specialized genius. Her cariaoa- catures of dancers achieve their wide appeal to audiences who seldom if ever see the prototypes, by virtue of the fact that they reflect char acteristics of people everywhere. Old and young, store-keepers, shop girls, artists, housewives see in Kit chen’s absurd posturings and grim aces reflections of their own absur dities and sublimations. No less famous and beloved than her satires on dance are her portrayals of little girls groking up, Maizie at the Mov ies a Fuller Brush man, a bored de butante, a Helen Hokinson club-wo man. To each characterization she applies an acid wit that bites and cleanses—and a genial humor that exhilarates and cures.

This game, which concluded the basketball sea son, was one of the most exciting games of the year. Peggy Watkins, Senior forward, led the attack with her 10 point total. The line-up for the game was as follows: SENIOR Watkins 10 Greene 4 Seville 9 Wray Darr Taylor- JUNIOR Johnson — 6 Corriher 8 Cain 4 Marshall Stacy Rider Eaton Seville is little, but the Juniors found out she is also oh-so powerful. These forwards with their excellent guards held the Juniors back, not enabling them to be ahead a time during the game. Special recognition also goes to Peggy Corriher, Junior forward, who has steadily improved in her ability to play basketball. Inciden- ly she thrilled her gym classes with her "hook” shots. Louise Stacy was also outstanding in this game.
