2544 DIPLOMAS
TO BE AWARDED
SCHOOLjENIORS
Commencement Rites Set
for June 1 to 4 by
Public Groups.
In commencement ceremonies,
June 1 to 4, 2544 seniors are to be
awarded diplomas by the six local
public high schools. The number of
graduates is the largest in the his
tory of Indianapolis schools.
Between 25 and 35 per cent of
the graduates are to attend college,
according to school officials. High
school principals say that for those
exp cting to go to work the pros
pects are brighter now than they
have been for several years. The
number of pupils who will return in
September to do post-graduate
work is consequently expected to be
much smaller than in recent years.
About 25 more boys and girls are
to receive diplomas this year than
last, and the group is five times as
large as the graduating classes of
25 years ago, when only 498 were
graduated.
Tech to Graduate 1050
Technical High School alone is to
graduate 1050, as many as all of
the high schools graduated 15 years
ago.
More than 250 graduates are on
the high honor roll. They have
made outstanding records in schol
arship and stand among the high
est 10 per cent. Scholarships to
colleges and universities are to be
awarded to about 165. Others are
to receive special awards.
The dates and places of the com
mencements and the approximate
number of graduates for each school
are: June 1, Manual Training
High School, Cadle Tabernacle, 279,
and Broad Ripple, Butler University
gymnasium, 58; June 2, Technical,
Butler Fieldhousc, 1050, and Crispus
Attucks, Cadle Tabernacle, 210;
June 3. Shortridge, Cadle Taber
nacle. 680, and June 4, Washington,
Butler Fieldhouse, 267.

GIAMCRCUS ArVFNTIJRE

BEGIN HERE TODAY
GAIL EVERETT, winner of the John
8. Larne costume design prize, comet to
New York to find work. Gtil’t parents
are both dead. She hat spent the past
three years at MISS CRANSTON’S fash
ionable school for girls—due to Miss
Cranston's generosity and friendship for
Gail's mother.
Armed with a letter from Larne. Gall
toes to his office end Is told he is out
of town. DEREK HARGREAVES, an
artist, overhears this conversation and
offer* to help Gall. He advises her to
to to MADAME LIZETTE’S shop to ap
ply for a Job.
Gall arrives there Just after tempera
mental Madame Lizette has learned her
designer has tone to Hollywood. Gail pets
the Job and toes to work next morn-
Int. On the way to the shop after lunch
she encounters DICK SEARLES whose
sister, ROSEMARY, was Gail’s room
mate at school. The Searles’ are very
wealthy. Dick tries to make a date
with Gail, but she postpones It.
Rack at the shop Madame Lizette sends
for some sketches Gail has made.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY.
CHAPTER VI
"TvEJECTEDLY Gail flung her
self on her bed when she en
tered her room. How quickly her
rosy dreams had been shattered!
Only this morning she had started
off, thrilled at the prospect of work
ing at Madame’s.
She’d make a name for herself
and it wouldn’t be long till she
would be recognized in the world of
fashion!
Now she thought bitterly of those
dreams. Why had Madame deliber
ately declared she wanted designs
suitable for older women, when
Gail’s instructions had been to pre
pare youthful models? Surely Miss
Carolie wouldn’t have changed the
instructions. Miss Carolie had been
enthusiastic about Gail’s work.
Something was wrong, though
—very wrong. And this was only
Gail’s first day at the shop!
u n a
PERHAPS Madame had resented
the fact that Gail had returned
late after lunch; though, if she
had looked at the time cards, she
would have seen that Gail had not
been gone even an hour.
Then her thoughts flew to Dick.
She liked him. He was a good com
panion. Never having had a brother
of her own, Gail had looked upon
him as one ever since Rosemary
had invited her to spend a summer
vacation at their home the year
Gail’s father had died.
Os course they were older now.
Gail was 19 and Dick was 23—going
into his father’s office in the fall.
Well,, the girl who married him
would have a good time, and never
a single worry about making both
ends meet.
Gail rose from the bed. Things
hadn’t come quite to such a stage
with her that she would grasp the
first chance to seek security—marry
a man whom she did not love.
Then she laughed softly. She
knew suddenly what was wrong. She
was hungry! Things would look
different after she had eaten dinner.
PULLING off her frock, the’
opened her wardrobe trunk
(she hadn’t unpacked it, for the
future still seemed rather uncer
tain) and selected a lovely green
dress of featherweight wool. Then,
as she started to run the water for
her bath, the telephone tinkled in
sistently.
Gail hastened to pick up the re
ceiver. It must be Dick —but as she
answered the call a sudden thrill of
happiness rose in her heart. Derek’s
voice came over the wire.
“Tonight,” she repeated, and her
eyes were shining ... “to cele
brate. . . . But I don’t know yet if
I’ve made good! Madame ... all
right ... in half an hour . . . yes
. . . delighted.” and she replaced the
receiver gently in its cradle.
She danced across to the bath
room. Derek Hargreaves was
coming to take her to dinner. She
was in and out of the bath tub in
almost no time at all.
She brushed her red-gold curls till
every solitary hair seemed like a
thread of burnished gold. She out
lined the delicate curve of her lips
with a rosy lipstick, dusted her
cheeks with powder and touched
the pink lobes of her dainty ears
with a delicate, fragrant perfume.
Then she slipped into her clothes
and perched a smart little hat on
her sunny hair.
a a a
GLANCING in the mirror, she
whispered softly to herself,
“You've done your best, chile!” She
felt extraordinarily happy.
Again the telephone tinkled to
inform her that Derek was down
stairs. Picking up her handbag, Gail
walked along the corridor to the
elevator, trying to still the ecstatic
beating of her heart, trying to wear
a casual look, to make herself feel
that this date was of no special im
portance.
There was admiration in Derek’s
blue eyes as he took Gail’s out
stretched hand. “Well, here you
are!” he said. “Once more let me
offer my congratulations.”
“But I told you I didn’t know if
they were in order. Madame acted
so queerly today I don’t know what
my fate may be tomorrow!”
“Oh, I don’t think you need to
worry. Besides, we can always have
another celebration if need be. Any
special place where you’d like to
dine?”
a a a
“'VTO. I haven’t lived in New
In York since I was a youngster,
so every place is new.”
“Well, I think you’ll like the place
I have in mind. It’s in the Village,
and if you’re interested in seeing
some of the celebrities about town
as well as some of the Park-av set
we’ll go to Ivan’s.
“That sounds intriguing.”
“The food’s very good—lots of
Russian dishes. And now, let’s take
a taxi. You see, I don’t have a car.”
“Why not the subway?” asked
Gail, who had already learned the
THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
various modes of transportation in
New York. “It’s quick—”
“And cheap,” added Derek. “But
that doesn’t count tonight because
I’ve just had a check for an illus
tration I did months ago. I’d quite
forgotten it. The firm went broke
and the advertising agent refused to
pay until he knew what was coming
to him ... so you see we re cele
brating on ‘Found Money’!”
a a a
IN spite of Derek’s remon
strances—for he felt a taxi was a
necessity, not a luxury according
to the present state of his finances —
they went downtown in the sub
way, walking the short block to
Ivan’s.
The three rooms in the basement
of the old brownstone house were
crowded, but Derek and Gail were
seated at a small table in the
glassed-in room which had been
added at the rear. Part of the
glass roof had been removed and
bright-hued awnings formed a ceil
ing for now that summer was with
in hail, this room would become an
outdoor dining room.
Gail looked around eagerly, her
bright eyes noting the precisely
trimmed orange trees in their green
wooden stands, the rough, hand
woven linen tablecloths and the
peasant ware on the tables.
Her toes tapped the floor impa
tiently in harmony with the wild
music of the Russian peasant or
chestra.
a a a
“’TTTHAT a gorgeous place!” she
W exclaimed softly, as though
afraid of breaking the spell woven
about her.
“I thought It might appeal to
you. It’s very popular just now.
Do you lik-? the music?”
“I love it, and the costumes of
the orchestra —typsically moujik,
aren’t they?”
“Yes, but they say the leader
and one or two of the others are
really members of the old Rus
sian nobility.”
“Oh, how interesting! Have you
ever spoken to them?” Gail’s am
ber eyes glowed as she turned
again in the direction of the mu
sicians.
ally when the leader has passed
any table at close range. Well, how
about ordering dinner now?” Derek
offered her one of the menus that
the waiter had placed on the table.
“While they’ve lots of Russian
dishes, they also serve honest-to
goodness American food, too, if
you’d rather have that.”
a a a
OUICKLY Gail glanced at the
list before her. Then, raising
her sunny head—for she had taken

ORCHESTRA
PEARSON’S
off her small green hat—she said,
"Won’t you please order for me?
There Isn’t a thing in the world I
can’t eat, for you see I knocked
around with Dad so much when I
was a kid I learned to eat every
thing.”
“Well, that’s easy. How about a
nice steak and vegetables and then
some Russian dessert, with all the
fixings—salad, coffee and so on?"
“Lovely!” exclaimed Gail, and
once more her eyes roved around
the room. What a lot of interesting
looking people!
Would she ever belong with them,
she wondered. Then, looking across
at Derek, she realized that he was
gazing intently at her.
“Aren’t you going to tell me about
your skirmish with Madame?” he
asked, his eyes twinkling.
“Oh, but that sounds so paltry in
a crowd like this. I don’t want to
bore you.”
a a a
you say will ever
X n me,” Derek answered gallant
ly, and Gail knew there was more
significance to his reply than ap
peared on the surface.
Immediately she told him about
her work at Madame’s, quickly
skipping over the real reason she
had been late at noon. “Now that’s
the history of my first working day.
Do you think I’ll ever have an
other?”
“Another? Why, Madame won’t
let you go. I've been hearing some
things about her, and her former
designer who’s on his way to Hol
lywood. You may not enjoy your
surroundings much at Lizette’s, but
when you leave you’ll have some
reputation! That’s what every one
says. And now that we’ve settled
that, let’s begin to get acquainted
with each other.”
The waiter brought the food and
hovered about with becoming
solicitude while Derek and Gail ex
changed many a confidence.
a a a
“QO your mother’s home was in
|J Arizona?” Derek remarked,
lighting a cigaret. “I’ve always
wanted to go there and paint, but
now that I’ve got a start at por
traits I don’t suppose I’ll take up
landscape work again except for
my own enjoyment.”
“I’ve never been there, although
