CAROL SHOEMAKER JEANETTE BRADAS BEVERLY GOLDSTEIN By JAN JAGUSCH The courage to triumph over ad- versity is the keynote of the early musical career of Lois Marshall, soloist in this year's May Festi- val. The Canadian soprano fought a childhood battle with polio which left her with a painful limp. Dur- ing her hours of convalescence, she entertained herself by playing opera records and singing At the age of 12, she enrolled at the Toronto Conservatory. There she became the pupil of Weldon K i 1 b a r n, who has remained throughout her career as her ac- companist. Serious Manner Miss Marshall's early years of study were marked by a grimly serious manner which led Kilborn to believe that she could never win an audience. With her first recital at 15, her grim manner disappeared, and she captured the hearts of her listen- ers. Miss Marshall won Canada's highest musical prize, the Eaton Award, and was named the out- standing graduate of Toronto's Royal Conservatory. She was giv- en the Singing Stars of Tomorrow Award which enabled her to sing with the Toronto Symphony. Wins Naumburg Award In 1952 Miss Marshall had an opportunity to present her talent before audiences in the United States when she won the Naum- berg Award* Since her arrival on the Ameri- can concert stage, Miss Marshall has appeared under such maestros as Toscanini, Charles Munch, Thor Johnson and Leopold Stokowski. She is particularly noted for her performance of Beethoven's "Mis- sa Solemnis" Visitors to the University's May Festival will be able 'to hear Miss Marshall as a soloist in "Missa Solemnis" with the Choral Union and the Philadelphia Orchestra at 8:30 p.m. on Friday. The soprano may again be heard in "Carmina Burana" at 2:30 p.m., Sunday. -'"--ci Parents Announce Engagements Buy the Best ...

Senior Coed Chosen Queen, To Reign at Page One Ball POSITION OPEN Ulrich's Book Store has an opening for an ambitious young man to learn the book store business- an excellent opportunity with a good future (Author of "Barefoot Boy With Cheek," etc.) I ilcn'44 Catnpu Il THE GIFT HORSE Many of our friends will soon be graduating. What kind of gifts should we give them? Here is no simple question. It is never simple to find gifts for people who have everything, and college students, as everyone knows, are the most richly endowed of mortals. They've got beauty and truth. They've got rhythm. They've got stout hearts, willing hands, and a clear vision that dispels the miasmas of the future as the morning sun sears away the last wisps of a cool, night's fog. They've got heaps and heaps of money, as who would not who has been receiving such a huge allowance over four years of schooling? What can we give them that they don't already have? One infallible gift for the person who has everything is, of course, a stethoscope. New models, featuring sequined earpieces and power steering, are now on display at your local surgical supply house. Accompanying each stethoscope is a gift card with this lovely poem: When you hear your heart beat, When you hear it pound, Remember me, your buddy, William Henry Round. If,, by some odd chance, your name does not happen to be William Henry Round (you're laughing, but it's possible), here is another dandy suggestion for the person who has everything - a gift certificate from the American Bar Association. These certificates, good at your local lawyer'. come in three convenient sizes: small, medium, and large. The small certifieate covers title searches and writs of estoppel. The medium size covers torts, claim jumping, and violations of the Smoot-Hawley Act. The large one covers kidnapping, murder, and barratry. If, by some odd chance, you don't know what barratry is (you're laughing, but it's possible), it is arson at sea. This inter- esting crime is called after Cosmo "Bubbles" Barrat, a captain in the British navy during the last century, who was addicted to burning his ships. One man o' war after another fell victim to his incendiary bent. The Admiralty kept getting crosser and crosser, but every time they called in Captain Barrat for a scolding, he would roll his big blue eyes and tug his forelock and promise faithfully never to do it again. Oh, butter wouldn't melt in his mouth, that one ! So they would give him another ship, and he would soon reduce it to a scattering of charred spars. He burned more than 120,000 ships before he was finally discharged as "doubtful officer material." After his separation from the navy, he moved to Vienna where he changed his name to Freud and invented Scrabble. But I digress. I was listing gifts for the person who has every- thing, and here is, another one. This gift, in fact, is not only for persons who have everything, it is also for persons who have nothing, for persons who have next to nothing, for persons who have next to everything, and for persons in between. I refer, of course, to-Philip Morris cigarettes. Here is the cigarette for everybody-for everybody, that is, who likes a mild relaxing smoke of fine vintage tobacco in a handsome brown package that snaps open with the greatest of ease. For those, if such there be, who like dull, nondescript tobacco in a package that requires a burglar's kit to open, Philip Morris is definitely the wrong gift. Among the newer gifts that warrant your attention is a revolu- tionary development in the enjoyment of recorded music.

Nancy Kovack, a 19-year-old University senior who hails from Flint was chosen to reign over the Page One Ball from a state-wide list of applicants. Describing the Ball as the Guild's annual publicity stunt, Miss Kovack laughed as she re- called her early part in the con- test. "I didn't even know I was entered," she exclaimed."My aunt sent in my picture and I first heard about it when she -called to tell me I was one of 20 chosen to appear before the judges!" TV and Mgdeling Career The tall, vivacious coed who plans a career in television and modeling, explained that all Mich- igan women between the ages of 18 and 24 who had never been married were eligible candidates. "We modeled bathing suits, then formals before four judges from the Free Press and Times, mem- bers of the Guild, who represent- ed fields of reporting, advertising and photography," Miss Kovak continued. "After the group had been narrowed to 10, we modeled again The new Queen's duties include appearances on television shows, something at which she is far from a novice. Speech Major A speech major, Miss Kovak takes part in a program over WPAG-TV, Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings in connec- tion with her courses atstheUni- versity. "I do mainly Master of Ceremonies work and interview community people," she said. News reports, children's narra- tions and directing are also on the agenda of this versatile coed. Miss Kovack had her own disc jockey show on radio at one time, but she prefers the television med- ium. Waltz With the Governor Her big assignment as Miss Page One is to reign over the Ball, which will be held Saturday at Detroit's Statler Hotel. There se will be officially crowned by Mayor Albert E. Cobo. "Gov. Williams will be a guest," the speech major commented, "and he and I will open the dance with a waltz." Miss Kovack remarked that the formal affair is open to the pub- lic, and tickets may be purchased at the door. Luncheon Queen The tall shapely model who lives at Martha Cook, reigned over the Page One Ball Award Lunch- eon yesterday in connection with the Guild's publicity campaign. She was also interviewed on the Mary Morgan Television show last week and modeled an oriental cos- tume advertising a coming movie. More television appearances are in store for the Queen before she winds up her royal career at the Ball. "One of the nicest parts about it," Miss Kovack declared, "is that I get to design my gown for the dance." The dress made to order will be her own, a gift from the Guild. Education School The School of Education held elections recently and the following students were chos- en. Claudia Moore Smith was elected president; Joyce Lane, vice-president; Nina Katz, sec- retary; Shirleyan Chennault, treasurer; Bob Alexander, so- cial chairman; Jeannette Hick- ey, publicity chairman; Len Manheim, Walter Ransom, Em- my Schlageter and Ruth Hay- wood, members at large. driving, picnicking, or beach-lounging ... your coiffure stays lovely under our jaunty SPRING TIP SCARVES The gayest way to prevent windblown curls is with our head-clipping scarves... to be worn as you please.
