There was another reason for Aléman's poor marks in Beteta's course-a girl, Beatriz Velasco, a pupil in a nearby domestic science school. Aléman used to rush through his studies, meet Beatriz and carry her books home. In time Miguel's friends visited the Velascos and, in the ceremonial Mexican fashion, argued that he was a fine boy, with a good reputation and good prospects. After due investigation, he became her novio oficial, with the right to come to dinner occasionally, to sit in the sala afterwards with Beatriz (and parents...

Bornie's prize pupil is Miss Patricia Dadmun, Smith graduate who vetoed the 'Cliffe because "if you're interested in athletics, Radcliffe isn't the place for you," and whose father made All-American captaining the Crimson eleven...

His only concert of this year in Geneva consisted of a well-planned and well-played program of Beethoven and Liszt. Far more astonishing is a 16-year-old Austrian, Friedrich Gulda, who won last fall's International Music Contest in Geneva hands down over 150 other pianists.
