...while their most prominent news columns and largest headlines went to the Woman of the Year (see col. 3). The President was more than ever the Man of the Year of the Americas, and his happy appearance on the Buenos Aires scene was enough to reap millions of responsive Latin smiles. After he sailed home, Secretary of State Cordell Hull, by his courtly modesty and winning character, achieved more than the State Department had expected or hoped, skillfully assisted by its Spanish-speaking Sumner Welles, among diplomats an ace professional. This week the Conference had to its credit not only...
...admiral's cabin he held a Uruguayan press conference for newshawks, Latin & U. S., each of whom had spent the day under the surveillance of an individually assigned detective. Before the President's departure, the able Montevideo police chief sent a delegation aboard to pay tribute at the coffin of dead U. S. Secret Servant Gus Gennerich.

Rosemary girls are divided into a lower school with 126 pupils, an upper school with 102. They work so hard at Latin under Miss Ruutz-Rees and English under Miss Lowndes that when they get to Smith or Vassar it is often with a sigh of relief. "Ten bar girls," who have served ten terms in the student government, are Duces, and the girl voted outstanding in each graduating class is an Optima. Both Optimae and Duces have their names carved in oak panels in the dining hall. Girls are subject to constant British roll calls to which they answer...
