Russians came calling. Stanis-
lan^e the Good, later nrihed “The
Good Skate?” started it.
He was employed in a bakery in
CracOw as a sheer, and to speed
up production he strapped two
bread knives on the soles of his
shoes and strolled over the loaves
of bread, slicing as he went. One»
day the Russians arrived without
warding and Stanislaus fled across
the frozen lake.
He noticed that he negotiated
the; distance effortlessly and in
a fraction Of the time required
by his fellow sprinters. Then it-

dawned on him that he hadn’t
removed the knives from his
shoes. Skates were born! ; . j
Only ROTC units will be per
mitted to hold private parties in
the lounges, Penberthy explained.
In such cases advanpe notices will
be posted. Authorizations for par
ties must be obtained from the
dormitory committee, i Penberthy
concluded.

Applicants will be accepted in
to the organization as either a

teer has all the rights, privileges,

except that he cannot vote. If
their records are satisfactory,

Roller skates are of a latef
period. It is thought that Thomas
Edison invented skates withhvheels.
He invented everything elqje.
And so roller skating comes to
the Grove. Though it was “Spaw'-

Houston, it is upon us.

the oldest character in the great
Ibsen drama, “Hedda Gabler.” Nell
Arhopulos has been cast as Berta,
George Tesman’s maid, in the play
which is to be presented Thursday
and Friday nights.
Miss Arhopulos was born in Tea
gue, Texas but lived there only a
short time before her family moved
to Bryan, ^be is a student in Ste
phen F. Austin High School of
Bryan where she is a drum major
in the bamj. ; ,
Beginning her stage career at
the early age of three years, Nell
first appealed as a tap dancer in
local variety shows. Her first taste
of the legitimate stage came when
she was six years old, when she
appeared as the lead in “Pan
dora.” Between the ages of six
and ten she appeared in such pro
ductions as “Windmills of Holland”
and “Jerry of Jericho."
Miss Arhopulos is a member of
the A Capella Choir of Bryan high
and has appeared in the last two
operettas staged by that group.
Most recent production in which
the talented young singer, dancer,
and actress performed was the life
of Franz Schubert as told in “Blos-
sbmtime.” In this production she
played the difficult part of Bella-
bruna, a prima-donna of old Venice.
Comments by the press on Nell’s
past performances commend the
aspiring thespian highly for the
outstanding talent she shows when
on stage. “With a maturity seldom
