of the halftime will be the crown
ing of the homecoming queen.
At her Vienna debut two years
ago Miss Curtin was hailed with
nine curtain calls for her role in
Verdi’s opera “La Traviata.” The
lovely soprano did not seriously
consider the field of music until
her junior year at Wellesley Col
lege. Along with music she main
tains an interest in archaeology,
having undertaken expeditions to
Peru and Ecuador. Press notices
have called Miss Curtin “one of
the dozen definite beauties of
North America,” a talented
actress and a great singer.
Last year she was named “one
of the ten women of accomplish
ment” by the Associated Press,
and her recording “Bachianas
Brasilelras” was chosen as one of
the ten best records of the year
by Time magazine.
In her performance here next
week Miss Curtin’s program will
include selections from Puccini’s
“Madame Butterfly” and from
“Tosca” plus compositions by De
bussy and Brahms.

SCUBA DIVING paid off for
two freshmen at North Green
ville Junior College, S. C., when
one of the boys found a woman’s
shoe. Near the shoe was a wallet
containing $115. The boys took
both the shoe and the money and
returned them to their rightful
owners. The grateful couple
excitedly thanked the boys and
rewarded them with $40 in wet
money.
