- . His Story
J5y Adrian Chables Spies
This is the1 tale of a modern
Odyssey, and its hero is 12-year-old
Vasilis Halikakis. Vasilis is
his name, but if you want quick
service in the Chapel Hill Sand
wich Shop, owned by his father
and managed by the youngster,
you had better call him Bill. For
Bill is his American name, and
he wants everything about him
to be American.
For 10 years Bill lived at
Rhodes Island which lies in the
Mediterranean sea about 500
miles from Athens. Officially it
is an Italian possession, but as
Bill says : "It's Greek because all
of the people there are Greeks.
Like my mother's people for in

WILL OSBORNE TO

RHYTHMAT DANCE
Fitts Reports Only Few
Bids Are Left For
Social Event
There will be a minimum of
hot swing tunes at Mid-Winters
February 11 and 12 because Will
Osborne, who orchestra is fur
nishing the music for the event,
is the exponent of smooth, soft
rhythm.
Osborne and his boys will play
this year in the Bynum gymna
sium. The limited amount of
floor space here is alleviated by
the German club s decision to
limit the number of bids to only
200.
Few Bids Left

organization, reports that the
bids have been going fast, and
there are onljr a few left. The
set includes two tea dances on
Friday and Saturday, the junior
class prom Friday night, and the
formal Saturday night.
The main feature of Osborne's
music is the slide effect which
produces a sound resembling
organ music. By combining the
soft organ sounds with popular
dancing rhythm, Osborne has
succeeded in producing an indi
vidual style which has received
acclaim in the many cities in
which he has appeared.
Radio Broadcasts
His band, which appears over
stations WBT, Saturdays at 6 :45
and WTAR Tuesdays at 8:30, is
composed of 14 musicians, and
the organization has ; been en
