RTAINMENT ON THE GO with DORIS I visited the PARISCENE the other afternoon. This is a beautiful, new night spot in Orange. When you walk in, you're immediately transported to Paris (a sidewalk cafe, to be exact). The waitresses look like French cuties (the apache type). Luscious hors d'oeuvres are served from 5 to 7. Really out of this world. In fact, if you stop here during the cocktail hour, you probably won't want dinner. The handsome bartenders are Don Keil, Vince Monahan, and Gene Von Oder. They are top notch fellows. Don has worked at the CAPTAIN'S TABLE, PERINO'S, BEEF EATERS, etc. Vince worked at STORK. Top groups are featured every evening. Your host is Jack Schwartz. I tried that Thursday Evening Special at the GYPSY CELLAR in Balboa. This is a delightful spot (so attractive and cozy). The steak dinner which was featured for $1.95 is ordinarily priced at $3.95. This complete dinner included relish dish, soup, salad, baked potato, dessert and coffee. Really superb. We were royally entertained by Pat O'Dare at the organ. She was featured at the PAGO PAGO in Tu while appearing at the SAHARA in Las Vegas. The Sabres include Jerry Wright, 24, pianist and lead tenor; Fritz Weybright, 23, drummer and low baritone; Dick Henson, 26, top tenor and bass player. This act was formed while the boys were in the U.S. Air Force special service. They entered the world-wide Air Force talent contest and emerged with the first two prizes (Jerry as single vocalist and the three as a group). Catch this act. They're the most.

Don has worked at the CAPTAIN'S TABLE, PERINO'S, BEEF EATERS, etc. Vince worked at STORK CLUB, 21, and WALDORF ASTORIA in New York. Gene was at the BLACK KNIGHT and RACQUET CLUB in Palm Springs. The PARISCENE has a fabulous French menu. Their continental food is a gourmet's delight with Keith as your maître d'. You'll be entertained nightly by Larry Foy at the plano and Bobby Adano, vocalist. This talented twosome is just in from Palm Springs. The Russo Brothers are back and Stan's got them (Stan Rossi of ANSTAY'S STEAK HOUSE). This is the fabulous group, headed by Carmen, who packed them in at ANSTAY'S a few months ago. I guess they missed us in Orange County as they are back from their Eagle Rock stint. ANSTAY'S is a great spot for a terrific steak dinner and sensational entertainment and dancing. Stan has added another attraction for our enjoyment... tea dancing every afternoon from 2:30. Be sure to stop. You'll have fun. Stopped for lunch at a wonderful restaurant in Long Beach—the FRANCOIS MÑHATTAN at 1909 E. 4th Street. This is a fabulous restaurant that has continental and American cuisine. One of their specialties is the Francois turkey sandwich glace. This is a turkey sandwich like you've never had before. The luscious meat is served open face on toast and covered with glaced cheese sauce. Truly magnifi- I tried that Thursday Evening Special at the GYPSY CELLAR in Balboa.

This complete dinner included relish dish, soup, salad, baked potato, dessert and coffee. Really superb. We were royally entertained by Pat O'Dare at the organ. She was featured at the PAGO PAGO in Tucson for fifteen months. Pat has also played Sun Valley and Reno. She's a real talented musician. She does a couple of specialty numbers that are breath taking. One is done in the dark with luminous nail polish. The other number is "Stormy Weather" with flashing lights. Be sure to catch this act. Your hosts are Carl and Ann Mathlas. While on the go the other afternoon, I ran into that attractive gentleman, Ralph Anderson, special representative for the Masson Company, distributors famous for their champagnes and fine wines. Ralph wants me to remind you to ask for Paul Masson when you want the best in wines. Had dinner on Mother's Day at VICTOR HUGO in Long Beach. Tried the roast duckling with all the trimmings. Really wonderful. It included soup, salad, relish dish, candied sweet potatoes, and green beans. All this for $2.85. Also included were rolls, dessert, and coffee. VICTOR HUGO is an elegant restaurant with relaxing atmosphere... My host was Lou Furst. Linda Jones called to tell me of the FIREFLY artist club that has recently been formed. Headquarters are at the attractive restaurant bar, the FIREFLY on Stanton Ave. Their first pre-formed while the boys were in the U.S. Air Force special service. They entered the world-wide Air Force talent contest and emerged with the first two prizes (Jerry as single vocalist and the three as a group). Catch this act. They're the most... One of the most beautiful restaurants in Long Beach is BROWERS. This elegant spot has an elaborate menu featuring 28 continental and American specialties. For that night on the town remember BROWERS at Pacific Avenue and 23rd Street in Long Beach. The SOHO RESTAURANT in Buena Park is one of the nicest in the area. The food and service are terrific. One of my favorite entrees is broiled South African lobster tail (18 to 20 ozs.) Served with drawn butter and stuffed baked potato... Another favorite is the boneless squab chicken with wild rice... The SOHO has a fabulous cuisine to choose from... Stop in for luncheon, dinner, or a cocktail. You'll be greeted by that friendly and handsome gentleman, Lennie Lombardo. One of the most popular family restaurants in Anaheim is the CHALET near Disneyland. The steaks here are outstanding and the CHALET is noted for its 27 varieties of pancakes. Bring the whole family as the kids love it here. Your friendly host is Bob Stewart... DINING OUT TONITE? Italian Food Stopped for lunch at a wonderful restaurant in Long Beach—the FRANCOIS MANHATTAN at 1909 E. 4th Street. This is a fabulous restaurant that has continental and American cuisine. One of their specialties is the Francois turkey sandwich glace. This is a turkey sandwich like you've never had before. The luscious meat is served open face on toast and covered with glaced cheese sauce. Truly magnificent. A similar entree on the dinner is Marco Polo (sliced turkey served on broccoli and covered with the same cheese sauce. Served with soup, salad, and a variety of breads). I was expertly served by Elva. The FRANCOIS MANHATTAN is a lovely dining spot with quiet, plush atmosphere. French paintings surround the walls. This is one of the top places in Long Beach for people who like the best. Your host is Robert Boyle. Linda Jones called to tell me of the FIREFLY artist club that has recently been formed. Headquarters are at the attractive restaurant bar, the FIREFLY. On Stanton Ave. Their first preview art showing was on May 8 at their gallery. If any of you would like to view these paintings or join the club, contact Linda at the FIREFLY. Featured at the Charlot Room in the ANAHEIM BOWL are the Sabres. These youthful RCA recording artists, with their sparkling vocal and instrumental arrangements, received star billing Had lunch at the JESTER STEAK HOUSE the other afternoon. Patrick, the chef, is one of the best in this area. I had the 95c special. Creamed Tuna on toast with all the trimmings. Real great. I was expertly served by Dean. The JESTER also features charcoal broiled steaks. Organ music has been added for your afternoon pleasure.

Scholarships for graduates of district high schools are being sought from service clubs, industries, and individuals. Lay-members and educators will administer the program. Plans for the association were discussed at a recent meeting of the steering committee in the school district board room. Incorporation was suggested and plans made to check the organization status for tax deductible contributions. The fact that many local organizations are scheduling next year's budgets was mentioned. Information will be disseminated soon. Groups will be invited to send representatives to the next meeting of the group, scheduled for 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 17, in the board room. In recent years many national scholarships have been made available. Perhaps best known is the national merit program and ten district students were in the final running for national merit awards. High School juniors have taken their first tests for next year's awards. In addition there are many California sponsored awards under the state scholarship to about 1800 in 1961 and 2100 or more in 1962. Magnolia and Savanna High Schools will increase the number further with their first graduating classes in 1963 if current plans are realized. The following year, 1964, will probably find the district's 5th and 6th high schools graduating seniors with more high schools to follow. The need for a stronger area scholarship program has been mentioned by many groups lately. Increasing honors for academically talented and encouraging students with college potential are joint goals. A spokesman for the program stated, "the Anaheim Union High School District is so located that any student who wants a college education should be able to receive one. Three junior colleges, two state colleges, and a great university are or soon will be available within ten miles of our borders. Within 50 miles an even greater array of outstanding public and private colleges and universities may be found. One hundred dollars above room and board will carry a student through a year of college although much more could be expended." A few students are perhaps overly selective and discriminating beyond need and opportunity. In recent years many national scholarships have been made available. Perhaps best known is the national merit program and ten district students were in the final running for national merit awards. High School juniors have taken their first tests for next year's awards. In addition there are many California sponsored awards under the state scholarship program. The Bank of America has also generated a strong state program. Locally a certain number of scholarships have been made available to graduates of our two high schools. It is believed that many others can be provided for capable local students. Specific requirements for the awards will be made by sponsoring groups. Included might be such considerations as sex, race, career choice, community area, financial need, academic ability, school choice and leadership qualities. Normally scholarships are given only upon proof of college entry. If a student receives an award of higher value, the scholarship is given to an alternate. This encourages a greater distribution of awards. The approximately 1400 graduates of Western and Anaheim High Schools in 1960 will be raised Horace Mann PTA Awards Given There was standing room only when the Horace Mann Parent-Teacher Association met in the school auditorium for their April meeting. Mrs. Stanley Smith presided at the meeting and presented the award certificates from the Anaheim Council of PTA, fourth district, and California Congress of PTA. Accepting the awards were Mrs. Maxwell Doyle, second vice president, a blue ribbon for outstanding work on the program book; Mrs. Frederick Rusch, membership chairman, a certificated university or soon will be available within ten miles of our borders. Within 50 miles an even greater array of outstanding public and private colleges and universities may be found. One hundred dollars above room and board will carry a student through a year of college although much more could be expended." A few students are perhaps overly selective and discriminating beyond need and opportunity. A one hundred dollar district scholarship not only might financially assist a student, but would also dramatically encourage a student to go on to higher education. What finer living memorial or service project could an individual or group give than an investment in our most prized possession—tomorrow's educated citizen and leader." Members of the Steering Committee include David Baarstad, Mrs. Dick Bakker, Paul W. Cook, Bud Coulson, Mrs. B. E. Coupland, Clyde Cramer, Mrs. Norma Lee Elliott, Dick Gay, J. Mason Henry, Mrs. Gladys Langson, Howard Loudon, John F. McGrew, Mrs. Merle Mossman, Mowry Smith. Further information on the projected program may be obtained by contacting Western High School. Muckenthaler Named Catholic Clubs Prexy Ron Muckenthaler of Anaheim, descendant of one of Orange County's early families, is new president of the National Catholic Alumni Clubs. Muckenthaler was selected by the National Committee to move up from the National Treasurer post when outgoing president Joe Strauss of Inglewood took the marriage vows April 30th. John Delury of San Francisco, present Bay City president, was elected to fill the Treasurer post left vacant by Muckenthaler. Muckenthaler will direct activities of the Association at the National Convention at Colorado Springs, Colo., August 26-30 when hundreds of delegates from coast to coast will assembly at the Antioch University. Mrs. Stanley Smith presided at the meeting and presented the award certificates from the Anaheim Council of PTA, fourth district, and California Congress of PTA. Accepting the awards were Mrs. Maxwell Doyle, second vice president, a blue ribbon for outstanding work on the program book; Mrs. Frederick Rusch, membership chairman, a certificate for 100% family participation and an over-all increase in membership; and Mrs. Donald Langlois, record book chairman, a certificate for fine work in compiling of the record book, and also a state award for outstanding achievement in fulfilling state requirements for the publicity record book. Dr. Olsen of the First Baptist Church of Anaheim gave the inspirational thought for the evening. Guest speaker was Jack Bowne, administrative assistant with the Anaheim Elementary Schools. Bowne commended the people of Anaheim for keeping ahead of the growth and providing funds for adequate schools; thus eliminating double sessions. Since the opening of school last year, there has been an enrollment of approximately 20 children per week which is almost equivalent to one classroom. At present there are three new schools under construction for opening in the fall. These will help to accommodate the students that are expected to move into the district during the summer months, stated Bowne. He also said that television will be extended to the third through sixth grades in the 12 schools which are now receiving it, and in the three new schools under construction. Strauss of Inglewood took the marriage vows April 30th. John Delury of San Francisco, present Bay City president, was elected to fill the Treasurer post left vacant by Muckenthaler. Muckenthaler will direct activities of the Association at the National Convention at Colorado Springs, Colo., August 26-30 when hundreds of delegates from coast to coast will assembly at the Antlers Hotel. The National Catholic Alumni Association is made up of single, Catholic, University graduates. Dr. Laubach Talk To Feature 'Africa' The Champion of the Silent Millions, Dr. Frank Laubach, will speak at a special Fullerton Junior College assembly on Thursday, May 12. The public is invited to attend. Dr. Laubach, often compared with Dr. Albert Sweltzer as one of the age's greatest humanitarians, has spent a life-time traveling through 97 countries in the cause of world literacy. Through his method of picture-association charts and the lessons and books he has translated into 274 languages and dialects, he has played a hand in teaching an estimated 60 million people to read and write their own languages. His "Each One, Teach One" theme has become known throughout the world. He works with missionary groups of all faiths, foreign government, the United States government and UNESCO. At the May 12 assembly, Dr. Laubach will talk on "Africa—Turmoil, Transition and Hope."
