be paid to one of the following: Robert
Plummer, Elizabeth Craine, Evelyn Confer, Hazel Hanna, Jane Rathgeber. Receipts with names and addresses of
guests must be turned in to Miss Holaway or Dr. Weber not later than Friday,
October 9th.
Committees for the dance have been
appointed by Don Rice, newly elected
president of t h e Senior Class.
Martha Zeigler as chairman of the P r o gram and Invitation Committee has as
her aides Helen Munson and Ruth Wilt.
F u r t h e r notice will be made about programs.
The Refreshment Committee consists
of Clyde Snare, chairman; Freda Walker,
and Edna Wallace. On the Music Committee are Sebastian Grieco and Mike
Lucas.
Those making up the Property Committee are Kathleen Noll, chairman; Tim
Cross, Lauretta Anderson, Betty McKenna, Marian Jones, Max Bossert, Scott
McLean, O m a r Harris, Florence Farrell,
and Mary Thompson.
For faculty dances see Hugh Fry or
his assistants, Ruth Harpster, Kay K a r terman, Helen Gates, and Gwyn Schalles.
All traces of the dance will later be r e moved by Myron Biddle, F r a n k Kitko,
and John Kachik.

those interested in tennis were entered
as first-round beginners or advanced
players. F r o m the flrst, players have advanced (or dropped back) one round
after each set, according as the player
was a winner or a loser of the match.
Thus no players are eliminated, while a
loser who wins the n e x t match regains
her former position. This week the lists
have been combined. Now, the winners
of the fourth consecutive round in t h e
beginners' class automatically enter t h e
fourth round of the losers' side in t h e
advanced group, while the losers of t h e
fourth consecutive round in the advanced
list automatically enter the fourth round

Vicki Baum: Martin's Summer.
If a new author achieves an unusual
round of popular acclaim upon the a p pearance of her first novel, one can
usually count upon a second work b y
this same author soon in its wake. As a
general rule, lavish advertisements a r e
found in all the better magazines and
newspaper literary pages, hailing t h e
advent of the new book, but really telling
one how vastly successful, meritorious,
and much-printed t h e old book has been.
'Martin's Summer' is an example. F i n d ing that 'Grand Hotel,' as a novel, created
quite as much of a success with A m e r i cans as the stage adaptation of the same
novel, Vicki B a u m gave h e r consent t o
the present translation of 'Hell in F r a u ensee.' It is a more simple, less vivid,
and less aptly w r i t t e n book than its p r e decessor. Discarding the rapidly revolving background of a continental hotel,
Baum attempts to write a slender tale of
rewarded virtue and young love u n r e quited, rather a weak and decidedly
much-used combination. Martin Heil is
the 'male Cinderella' of the noveb P o s sessor of a college degree in engineering,
and discoverer of an invention which
will revolutionize t h e world of photography, at the same time heaping much gold
at his door, Martin finds it necessary to
spend his summer at a large resort hotel,
coaching a varied assortment of t h e
female contingent in the finer rudiments
of swimming. Martin is quite an unusual
chap, a Horatio Alger adolescent verging
on maturity. The more or less taciturn
type of Apollo that he typifies, in this
case poor and awaiting a reply from a
rather vague character to whom he has
intrusted his invention, seems fatal to a
veritable galaxy of women. The Lyssenhop twins, Carla and May, a r e lustreless
creatures, even though the latter is cast
as ingenue lead. T h e Bojan, an exotic
actress, and h e r delightfully Bohemian
daughter. Puck, strike much happier
notes. As if it w e r e n ' t quite sufficient for
the above four to capitulate to the r a t h e r
unbelievable c h a r m of Martin, at least
flve others lose parts of their hearts to
him. Too, Vicki B a u m wastes far too
many words telling of repeated h u n g e r
periods that assail Martin, who is too
proud to accept 'tips' from those he i n structs, yet proves to be a rather i r r e sponsible manager of finance. The book
terminates with everything possible
coming to the hero's threshold; a wealthy
bride, social position, and t h e promise of
many pots of gold. All in all, it is a
sorry successor to 'Grand Hotel.' Miss
Baum was probably over-rated in h e r
flrst novel. In the present one, we prefer
to think that she is merely suffering from
the effects of an overdose of glory and
laudation. 'Martin's Summer' is the t y p e
of thing that Faith Baldwin might h a v e
dished out. We had higher expectations
from the German Fraulein.—H. L. S.

and school cheers w e r e capably led by
