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,”
