Judith Szekeres,
who helped. spark the Hungarian
revolt, is today the proud posses
sor of a 1957 Merit Award from
Mademoiselle magazine.
For the fifteenth successive
year these awards were pre

whose ages range from the late
teens to the early thirties.

Betsy Talbot Blackwell, editor-in-chief
of Mademoiselle, cited
the part this young Hungarian
jpjayed in "formulating the six-leen-point
petition for govern
ment reform. This petition,
drawn up by Budapest students,
Sparked the revolt of the Hun
garian people, and the memory
of their fight will remain an in
spiration to freedom-lovers eve
rywhere." After fleeing Hun
gary, Judy, with the help of an
English language course at Wel
lesley, won a scholarship to the
University of Alabama, where
she is majoring in chemistry.

"Frantic Fifties" Brings
Changes for World's Women
By SHERI GILES
United Press Staff Correspondent
Chicago BPl They call this the "Frantic Fifties." Maybe
they're right. , Certainly the year 1957 was frantic. Hydrogen
bombs replaced atom bombs. Satelittes outspaced inter-continental
missiles. Dictators replaced dictators. And the sack replaced the
shape in women's fashions.
Looking back, it was a year of many accomplishments in many
fields for women. In Morocco, a woman wrought a change which
shocked the Moslem world. No more veils, announced Princess
Lalla Aisha to her countrywomen, breaking a tradition that had
stood for centuries.
Eleanor Roosevelt, former First Lady, pushed aside the Iron
Curtain to report on social work, health and welfare programs
inside Russia.
The Queen of Britain came,
saw and conquered the hearts of
many Americans in October. She
brought her handsome husband,
Prince Philip, along and many a
housewife wished for a mo
ment that her man were as
dapper.
In September, a young girl
named Dorothy walked into a
high school in Montgomery, Ala.,
her head held high. But she was
beaten down. She left school, but
others in other parts of the coun
try followed her lead. Thus be
gan the process of integration in
1957.
Mrs. Dorothy Le Masiurer, Du
luth, Minn., proved the endur
ance of womankind. She emerg
ed from 19 grueling days on a
mountainside, starving, sun
whipped, but still alive. A plane
crash had claimed her husband
and left her stranded.
A woman doctor in Philadel
phia claimed to have isolated the
multple sclerosis virus.
Sports Gains
The women made big strides
in the world of sports.
Althea ' Gibson, who first
learned tennis on Harlem streets,
smashed her way to the singles
tennis championship of the
United States and to the top of
the heap at Wimbledon, England.
Florence Chadwick, America's
long-distance swimmer, ploughed
through the Bristol Channel
from England to Wales.
Women did more than dabble
in politics.
Irene Dunne of the movies
made a new kind of debut, as a
delegate to the UN general as
sembly. Golda Meir, Israeli for
eign minister and native of Mil
waukee, traveled the world as
her country celebrated its 10th
year of independence. The wo
men in Switzerland won the
right to vote. And Jessie Wilson
did what few wives of cabinet
officers would dream of doing
she stood up to the President of
the United States. This came
about because her husband, then
secretary of defense Charles E.
Wilson charged that the National
Guard had been a haven for
draft-dodgers during the Korean
war. Well, the protests were long
and loud, and at his news con
ference, President Eisenhower
called the statement unwise. He
then coupled it with praise for

TOSHIKO AKIYOSHI of To
kyo, jazz pianist. Now here on a
scholarship at Boston's Berkelee
School of Music, she studies mu
sical composition by day and
does her "homework" in a jazz
spot at night. A sensation at the
1957 Newport Jazz Festival and
at N. Y.'s Hickory House, she
was the first jazz artist to com
pose swing for strings. With two
of her records already released
and a jazz symphony on paper,
fellow musicians say "she's push
ing the wall with the greatest."
CAROL LAWRENCE of Mel
rose Park, Illinois, actress. After
studying dance, voice and drama
at Northwestern U., she went on
to the Chicago Opera Ballet,
summer musicals and then the
chorus line in N. Y. Last fall she
landed the lead in Broadway's
West Side Story. The day after
the opening this twenty-three-year-old
was hailed for excelling
as a dancer, singer, actress. In
the words of the critics, "she can
do everything . . . star stuff fell
last night."
Said Mrs. Wilson later:
"I think the President should
have stood back of Mr. Wilson
instead of spending his time com
menting on how wonderful Fos
ter Dulles is ... I think you
need a pat on the back once in
awhile."
It was a busy year for Dan Cu
pid, although one of his famous
earlier works fell apart. Actress
Ingrid Bergman announced her
separation from the Italian mov
ie director, Roberto Rossellini.
Married were two of the Di
onne quintuplets; Elizabeth Tay
lor and Mike Todd; New Jersey's
governor Robert Meyner and
Helen Stevenson; crooner Bing
Crosby and starlet Kathy Grant;
actor Marlon Brando and a
Welsh-Indian beauty.
The stork brought heirs to the
throne of Monaco and Todd-A-O.
He also visited Margaret Truman
and her husband, newspaperman
Clifton Daniels.
The women established some
firsts in '57.
