inactive during the vacation, the
girls of Chi Epsilon carried out
an unusual plan—they presented
a program for the children of

crippled children, ageS 2-10, in
Farmington. The highlight of
the program was the skit, "The
Night Before Christmas." Gloria
Olen, Shelly Aller, Phyllis Sos-
nick and Muriel White helped
entertain the children. The girls
all agreed that their best re-
ward was the look of happiness
on the children's faces.

What is it? What will happen?
Who is behind it all? Those are
the sort of questions Mumfor-
dites are asking each other
nowadays. The reason for all
this puzzling is the grand dis-
play of posters around the
school all last week stating that
D-DAY IS COMING. Sometime,
next week, the riddle will be
solved, but until then, the mys-
tery remains.
"Put another nickel in and
get music, music, music" is the
motto at the _lunch room ever
since Mumford received a juke
box as a gift from the parents'
club. Barry Stulberg, Student
Council president, received the
gift on behalf of the student
body. On certain dayS of the
week, it will cost a nickel to
play the machine. The rest of
the time there will be no charge.
The revenue will go for new
records and repairs on the ma-
chine.

GAMBLING DEPT.: In doing
research on his gambling series,
Pulitzer Prize' winner Mike Ber-
ger heard that Eskimos don't
gamble. For verification he
telephoned Vilhjalmur Stefans-
son, the Arctic explorer, who
confirmed it. Eskimos don't
gamble, he explained, because
their simple needs are primary
ones. "An Eskimo wouldn't
care for diamonds," he said. "If
you lived amid ice, you wouldn't
care for diamonds either. Jades,
yes; diamonds, no."
