L^rs From A Wii On Board the M—S Italia Darling, We left this morning at 8:15 for Southampton and the Italia. This if my last letter to you, I’ll mail this at LeHarve at 9 p.m. At 12, midnight we head for the open sea. The steward aboard says that we’ll dock in the New York harbor next Wednesday at 6 a. m. The crew is German and they are very sure of themselves; they all say, “We are never be hind schedule’’. Hope they are right this time. I can hardly beUeve that my most enjoyable summer vacation is over. The time has slipped by on wings, now it is back to the grind for me, but as you say, I will always have my memories of this glorious summer. Before the grind however, I plan to enjoy to the hilt this floating palace and the superb service which we have experienced from the time we set foot aboard. I ami back with Ruth and Pauline, I lost Daisy in the transfer bHt we have a girl with us who was our table mate on the Argen tina. Although there are four of us in the stateroom, we have plenty of room to move around in, we have a private bathroom and wonder of wonders, usable tissue. Pauline is regretting that she didn’t bring back a collec tion of tissue from each country for her scrapbook. I didn’t find out until we were leaving France that there were two sides to theirs (woe is me). Our deck-chairs and colorful blankets were all in place and ready for us on the Upper Pro menade; the ship’s library, the lounge, the bar and the game room are on this deck too. The furniture is luxurious and the matching draw drapes are soft and pleasing to the eye. The dining room which is four decks down is the beauty spot oiif the ship and you have never tasted such delicious'food. The huge table of hor d’oeuvres is a work of art, it is a shame to disarrange it but the waiters are delighted to serve you and you must be careful to request only a small portion from that table for there are four more courses for you to partake of and the waiters are really hurt when you don’t en joy each one. There is an “air” about everything that is deUght- , ful, you are so glad that you are a part of it all. We caught the elevator to go down to the in-door swimming pool which is seven floors down. I don’t believe anyone is going to use the deck swimming pool on this trip for it is quite chilly but two of our girls and one man went swimming this after noon indoors. Just like the rest of the ship the pool is “THE BERRIES”. The whole floor is tiled but the water ia the pool is stimulating ocean water. Wish I ha(^ brought my bathing suit biit then there is “my hair” and in this ritzy atmosphere one has to look her best. The clean ing and pressing service is do ing a rushing business, I have brought out my rtew skirt which I bought in Paris and the Bel gian blouse, for jveryone dresses for dinner. There is a table of white kids near us who really “dress'’ but they were the only ones in the dining room in eve ning clothe^. Everyone else looks as pretty as she can. The Pursur has planned some thing for almost every minute of the time: Bouillon at 10:30 served on deck, brass music at 11, lunch at lt:30, deck games until 3, tea concert at 4, movies at 5, musical cocktail hovu: at 5:45, dinner at 6:30 and a spe cial entertainment for the eve ning. The Gift Shop located in the Foyer on Upper Promenade opened at 4 o’clock an^ you would have thought we had for gotten to buy any gifts while on the continent. We bought her out in a few minutes. I bought a little Scottie running"efter a ball on his nose for Carl’s baby. Is it cute? Sandwiched in between all the planned activities are bridge and canasta games. Daisy has played in some of the National Tournaments, so I heard. I watched the game for a few minutes, she plays an astute game. No one has asked me to play yet for which I am thank ful. I have a lot more exploring I want to do. The Captain has been down to greet us and was gracious enough to pose with Dolly. There is something to this of being sure of yourself and your re lationship to others. Try to get down to the pier In time to see us come in, that must be a thrilling sight for we have seen people laughing, shouting and crying when the ship hove into sight. I wish I could-see this ship come in. If she is as beautiful on the outside as sh^ is on the inside, she is a real beauty. Oh, No! something just brush ed against the lining of my stomach! A1 told me to eat plenty so that when I had to reach. I’d have something to get; I fear I’d better ring for a sandwich. Until Wednesday poor me, that seems a year from now!

JOHNSON ^ After a dreary week of over cast skies, the sun sudOeenly ap peared this weekend, bringing with it, not only dry weather, but also beautiful balmy spring like temperatures. Boys and girls began thinking of getting outdoors for some kite flying, some softball, seme just plain strolling. We adults began eying the new blades pushing up through our barren lawns. Bright gold jonquils, and fra grant grape hyacinths, along with beautiful azeleas crept very, quietly into magnificent bloom. Yes, ‘tis spring, and all around us new life is beginning to stir. We saw a snake, heard the gen tle song of a thrush, and even saw a new tJHF television an tenna pushing up over the clut tered scene. Here at the Center, the winter activities are, with a view to getting more outdoor activity. The ping pong balls are still whizzing to and fro over the nets as the boys and girls put the finishing touches to their technique, with the hope that they will be successful in the forthcoming toiimament. The W. D. Hill Tigers won the city wide basketball tournament this week by defeating the John A- very Boys Club Team by a one sided score of 78-46. Earlier, the Tigers nosed by jthe White Rock Torpedoes with a shaky 55-53 in the semi-finals. In the semi-final game of the toiimament, James DeVaughn and Siggs led W. D. Hill with fourteen points each, followed by DeBerry with eleven, and Haskin with ten points. Charles Harris was high scorer for White ' Rock with fourteen points, followed Becton and Mc Neill who eeach tallied ten points. In the finals, Joyner was high scorer for W. D. Hill with 32 points, followed by DeVaughn, who scored seventeen points; Fenner and Blue tied with each other for high place on the Boy’s Club Team, each making ten points. Nathaniel Dickerson is taking it easy after returning from a year and a half in Germany. He described the beautiful country sides which are so well kept and tended, that when they are in full bloom, he declares, they leek very much like a giant patchwork quilt. Linweed McNeill has returned to his old haunts after eighteen' months in Korea and Js' being squired around by his old buddy, William Payne, who was in ducted at the same time, but re turned to Durham before Lin- wood. Wallace Webb has also returned from a long soix>urn in the armed forces. Burcham Harris is now back in the city for a while after living in New Jersey. He tells SATUKOAY, MABCH 21, USi ram cabouma ram rA4» of an encounter with a hold-up hoodlum in the mid-afternoon. He woke up forty two days later, and much poorer. The affair waa witnessed by an invalid who uted to wave every day as*he passed. She was instrumental in helping identify the criminal.
