...girls were from the Coffee House Theater troupe of Clarke College in Dubuque, Iowa. TIME gets into the book because our EDUCATION section used the occasion of that tour three years ago (Sept. 4, 1964) to tell the story of Clarke, a small but remarkable girls' college that aims to educate its students for a fulfilled and rewarding life as wives and mothers in a modern world. Following a well-established pattern in such cases, Clarke found that a story in TIME was quite a landmark in its life. It got inquiries from prospective students and interested parents...
Last week Sister Xavier, now an honorary colonel in the U.S. Army, and the girls of Clarke's Coffee House Theater were back on U.S.O. tour, this time a six-weeks-long foray through armed-forces camps in Greenland, Labrador, Newfoundland and Iceland. The troupe is doing folk singing, modern-jazz dancing, sing-alongs, satirical skits and, our reporting indicates, living up to the way we described the girls of three years ago: "Vigorous and venturesome."

The boys in the tight trousers roll their eyes, tear at their hair and practically levitate from their seats, particularly when Judy sings: If happy little bluebirds...
...fond of uniforms and noisy parades, generous with sapphire bracelets for a ballerina in St. Petersburg. There was nothing to warn him of the gruesome shape of things to come but a swipe on the scalp by a sword-swinging Japanese madman at the end of a leisurely grand tour. Alicky was Princess Alexandra of Hesse-Darmstadt, favorite granddaughter of Queen Victoria-the matchmaking old matriarch of half the reigning families of Europe...
