About Durfeeites By RENA KATZ Just before flashing a victori- ous smile, Beverly Simon, a stu- dent of Durfee, spelled the word "iridescent" correctly and be- came the winner of the 1951 Detroit News metropolitan spell- ing bee. Beverly, 13 and in the eighth grade, triumphed over 30 district champions after making her second attempt at the title, Beverly's reward for winning the metropolitan bee will be a much earned trip to Washing- ton and a crack at the national bee. * * * "We believe that as American Jewish youth we are only doing our part to help the new state of Israel," stated Winnie Ledger, treasurer of the Revols, a girls social club at Durfee. The Re- vols recently conducted a fund- raising drive in behalf of the Allied Jewish Campaign. As a result, the girls are making a $90 treasury donation to the AJC. Next year the members— Barbara Halpern, Rena Katz, Eileen Black, Lois Feldstein, Shirley Weinstock, Leba Cutler, Winnie Ledger, and Phyllis Lip- tzen—intend to become f un- fledged workers for the cam- paign. * * * As expected, the Durfee vari- ety show was a great success. Among the more entertaining acts were Alvin Koretz, David Abels, Stuart Frank, Max Ernst, Douglas Sederhoim, and David Simonds, who, as a band, brought. the house down with their rendition of "Be My Love" and "The Tennessee Waltz." Sharon Katz took three curtain calls after presenting her yeesion of "Alex- ander's Rag Time Band." Char- lotte Meekler and Eleanor Rud- ner sang the snappy number "We're - A Couple of Swells," taken from the movie hit. "East .- Cr Parade."
