MONMOUTH HIGH By Margaret Boerger Despite t h loud cheering from the fans last Friday evening, the Mon- jM® mouth Eagles went down to de- J feat at the hands of Adams Central. The reserve team also wasWi® "•■W defeated. We are confident that the remainder of the season will have a brighter outlook now that the first game is over. -M.H.S.— Black and gold, the MHS colors, have been used by the varsity cheerleaders for their outfits. The girls, Joyce Busick and Rosie Bultemeyer, have chosen black twill skirts with gold inverted pleats, black shaggy sweaters with cowl collars, black shoes, and gold socks. The other cheerleader, Jim Fuhrman, has chosen an outfit similar in color to that of the girls. All have gold “M’s" and “Eagles” on their sweaters. —M.H.S.— Gladys Busick, Kay Stevens, and Ruth Ann Berry make up one set of reserve team cheerleaders. For their outfits they chose black sweaters, short gold box-pleated skirts with matching middy tops. To complete their costumes they selected white shoes jpith black pompoms. —M.H.S.— Friday evening also, the bands of Adams Central and Monmouth combined to present the half-time program. This unusual performance proved to be very enjoyable to the many fans present. —M.H.S.— The speech students have started one of their biggest projects of the year; that of writing their constitution orations. Each student must write a 10-12 minute discussion on some phase of the constitution. This means many long hours of research at the library. -M.H.S.Any person who wishes to purchase a 3960 Monmouth yearbook may do so by sending his name

Says Super-Colossal Savior For Movies By VERNON SCOTT UPI Hollywood Correspondent HOLLYWOOD (UPD — King Vidor, who has the distinction of twice refusing to direct “BenHur,” says the future of motion pictures lies in the multi-mUlion-dollar super-colossals if films are to survive at all. Vidor’s paradoxical point of view stems from his own particular objection to the “Ben-Hur scripts. He first rejected the picture in 1924, and again two years ago in the modern version. “My reasons were • personal,” he said, “and I’d rather not discuss them. I think it will be a very fine film.” “It is exactly the type of movie that must be made to combat television. We have to produce movies that are spectacles, entertainment that cannot possibly be seen on television.” To entice televiewers from the hearthside, Vidor prescribes widescreen color epics filled with masses of people and spectacular sceneryfits Spectacular Label His own newest picture, “Solomon and Sheba,” fits the desscription. Costing six million dollars, the epic is made in “Super Techni-rama-70,” a new large - screen process that dwarfs present bigscreen operations. “The ‘drop-in’ movie is a thing of the past,” Vidor went on. “The cost of going out to a theater has made movie-going a special event that must be planned in advance. It usually means dinner out, a baby sitter and a group of friends.” “There are so many old and wonderful films on TV, people won’t go out to see new ones.” Vidor pointed out spectacles are as old as movies. “D. W. Griffith began the epic film with ‘Birth of a Nation.’ Cecil B. DeMille carried on the tradition of giving motion pictures the symphonc treatment — themes and movements within the scope of a story.

SECTION TWO

Vidor Supports Thesis “I never want to make a picture with only two or three people up on the big screen. You must fill it with thousands of performers and action.” In support of his thesis, Vidor said the biggest box office hits to history were jumbo productions —“Gone With the Wind,” "Ten Commandments,” "The Robe.” "Duel in the Sun,” "Covered Wagon” and “The Big Parade.” "Once it was possible to fill the big screen in Hollywood,” he said. “Not now. You must go on location to be able to afford the extras- And shoot at actual sites. It is too expensive to reproduce them in Hollywood. “The demands of TV and movies are absolutely different,” he concluded. “And movie-makers must discover this before it Is too late.”
