Silent Prayer Held For Infirmary Fish At 11 ajn. Mofldajy the infirmary staff held a one minute pause from their busy day for silent prayer due to the death of “Blackie.” His death will forever remain a secret, for his roommate “Damn” won’t disclose what happened. The mystery started in Novem ber when Tom Cloupek donated his fish to the pill rollers when he left the hospital. “The Damn Fish” was the only name it possessed at the time, therefore Nurse Leota Bradley nicknamed it “Damn.” A few weeks later the staff invested in an-LLor fish so Damn would not be lonely; however, this one did not last as Jong as Blackie, and upon its death the staff went through the same proceedure be fore sending him to a watery grave. This leaves the nurses in a dilemma as to whether they should get another fish, and risk three deaths, or let “The Damn Fish” alone. Those on hand for the cere mony, but who unfortunately had to stay in bed, were Carolyn Romt veldt, Naomie Washburn, Donna Scott, Della Martin, Jo Ann Fisher, Cleone “Toby’ West, Jean Scott, - Beverly Rew, Arthur MacNamara, Ed Evans, Stephen Marx, and Jerry Miller.

OREGON TO HEAR (Continued from hai/e one) A quick decision was necessary. Thomas says that he let a coin determine the issue. Music won, the scholarship was accepted and under the guidance of Adelin Fer min he undertook to become a si nger. Opportunity came the following year when he was given an audi tion by Henry W. Savage in New York. As a result he was maue a definite part of the Savage forces. Appearing in light operas he pro gressed to opera companies and grand opera. After a succession of European triumphs, he return ed to the United States. Here he became the baritone star of the Metropolitan opera. Like most Americans he sings in the shower. Not to practice— just for enjoyment. Golfing is his favorite sport, and he is an ardent baseball fan. There is al ways his portable rowing machine for exercise when there's nothing else to do. “I Love Life" is the favorite song of Thomas, who, at present, has a repertoire of 500 songs. Some of the songs recorded by Thomas for RCA Victor company include “All the Things You Are,” Order Now Cakes Appropriate for Every Occasion HOME BAKERY AND DELICATESSEN 86 E.
