Dissecting Hearts
On St. Valentine's
By JOHNNIE LEE WORD
You may attribute it to the fact
that Valentino's Day is just around
the corner ... or to the spring wea-
ther that we have been having . . .
but there's an awful lot of romance
in the air these days. From the
birds who run Dr. Watts' chem lec-
tures stiff competition on up. And
hearts are Just the thing for in-
stance the biology classes spend
their lecture periods learning all
about the circulatory system and
that little item included that runs
things. It might bo interesting if
they spent their lab periods dissect-
ing a few of the hearts around the
campus. Just IF . . . but . . . IF here
Is a guess on what we'd find.
If our first victim were Darnell
Gibbs we'd probably find no you're
wrong not a convertible but a little
Ford with a fancy horn . . . and the
guy that chauffeurs it around. And
when we opened Grace Crump's
heart we might pull out a fiddle . . .
or even a whole symphony orches-
tra. Norma Collins' heart would
probably be jammed full of gold and
silver bars ... as would the heart
of June Reed and Frances Ubbcn.
In the heart of Jessie Holder we find
. . . well well and where have wo
seen that before? . . . rightl A little
Ford with a fancy horn. Somebody
has their wires crossed!
And if wc have the opportunity
to open up Wilson Ross' heart . . .
well disillusionment of disillusion-
ments nothing but a basketball!
Nuts! And in Garland Findley's
ticker . . . yep! Some things that
suspiciously resemble Cowgirl uni-
forms. Ruthie West's heart looked
like something carved on a tree . . .
BILL. A dissection of Mickey
Matney's heart revealed an unusual
object resembling Ralph Hardy's leg.
Tskl Tsk!
Dot Grammar's heart contained an
Abilene High School pin. And out
of Kay Johnson's . . . yep a book!
We looked in Jake Weir's heart but
couldn't figure it all out ... so! And
anyway this is beginning to sound
like something somebody pulled out
of someone's old hat!

ampton. . . . discouraged.
He landed a job singing with a
dance orchestra but that soon
paled in the face of his serious
ambitions . . . and back he went
to Philadelphia and Curtis In-
stitute. After singing for a local
radio station he was given a
chance to sing minor roles with
the Philadelphia Grand Opera
Company "just for experience."
And as he says he sang secon-
dary parts "ad nauseum" until
the leading baritone of the com-
pany fell ilL With only an hour
to go to curtain time the man-
agement cast about frantically
for someone to sing the bari-
tone's song but without success.

the role and with some misgiv-
ing they let him have it. They
weren't sorry. After this other
important roles followed of
course.
Since that time Conrad Thlbault's
upward climb has been strong and
steady and today he is the best
known most-heard baritone in radio
