Iranian Girl Finds
School Life Differs
Do you know Florence Aivezaddeh?
Well, you should! Florence, a sopho
more at Nilehi, recently arrived in the
United States from Iran. She is living
in Lincolnwood with her parents and her
brother and sister.
According to Florence, school life here
is a great deal different from that in
Iran. In the school in Iran, she was
accustomed to two rest periods a day.
She went to school on Saturday and
Sunday, with only Friday as a holiday.
The dating system here also puzzles
Florence. In Iran, a girl has to know
the boy very weli before she can go
out with him, and then a chaperone
must accompany.
Florence is 14 years old, and she has
had three years of geometry, chemistry,
and physics, not counting a little algebra
and zoology.
When asked what she thought of
American dancing, particularly jitterbugging, Florence said, “ I like it very
much— I want to learn it.” In her native
country South American dances are pop
ular. She modestly admitted that she
can do the tango.
According to Florence, Iranians dress
very much like us. They play football
and basketball, too. The girls marry
at 17 or 18, and they don’t wear make-up
until they are about 18.
Florence said that English is the most
difficult subject fo r her. She is doing
very well in French, and she has been
elected secretary of the French Club.
Although she misses her friends in
Iran, Florence said, “ I like it very much
here, and except for a visit, I don’t want
to go back.”
Conference Is Success
According to Hind
The Audio-Visual Conference held
here at Nilehi on October 24, was a com
plete success, according to Mrs. Dorothy
Hind, director of the visual aids depart
ment.
Four classroom demonstrations put on
by local teachers included two by Nilehi
teachers, Miss Grace Harbart, who con
ducted a social studies class; and Mr.
C. W. Hussey, who gave a biology class
demonstration. Mr. Van Arsdale gave
impersonations of the late President
Roosevelt and Lionel Barrymore for the
wire recording demonstration that was
held in the assemly room.
During the dinner Mrs. Fettketler
played a piano solo and the double quaitet sang two songs.

Interview Sherman Hayes Await Performance
.
By June Pence
Maybe you saw him in ‘Wonder Man,’
‘Up In Arms,’ or ‘The Kid From Brook
lyn,’ But I saw him in person, October
22, at the Chicago theater.
The Keen Teen reporters and Photog
raphers interviewed Danny Kaye, famed
comedian, at a special conference ar
ranged by Val Lauder, author o f the
Keen Teen column in the Chicago Daily

“ Old-timer” in Show Business
You mean you don’t know what the

next Thursday, Friday, or Saturday
night, presented by Nilehi’s dramatic
department under the supervision of
Miss Helen Hughes.
As a result of questioning we found
Danny Kaye to be an “ old timer” o f 19
years in show business. Contrary to the
old belief that political views i f revealed,
to the public can ruin an actor’s career,
Mr. Kaye claims stars are actually
human and have minds of their own.
Danny Kaye’s real name' is David
Daniel Kominski.
The cast includes John Canteret, Clay
Merrill; Dr. Owen Harding, Jim Todd;
Ellen, Shirley Hawkinson; Kathleen
His wife, Sylvia, writes his doubletalk.
When asked where she found
ideas he smiled and replied, “ She’s just
a smart girl.”
Teens Celebrate Theater s Anniversary
To complete the conference, a picec
of anniversary cake was given to us
for the celebration of the Chicago thea
ter’s birthday.
A t the Walnut Room at the Bismarck
Hotel, the Keen Teens met Sherman
Hayes, orchestra leader at the hotel,
last October 28.

Throughout the week of October 28,

disqualifying the votes,
According to Miss Harbert, 30 states
have adopted the use o f voting machines.
Illinois has not installed them as yet.
Certain officials claim that the cost of
the machines is too great and there is
no storage space to reveal, that in ten

be collecting profits.

Which One Are You?
By Pat Hanegan
So many people have come to me and
said, “ Oh, it must be wonderful to be
a tw in!” or “ I know I ’d just love to be
a tw in!”
Well, I know I ’m getting kinda’ sick
of all this, and I imagine all the fellow
twins are too, I decided to lend a helping
hand to some o f those in this school by
printing some o f their views on life as
a twin with the hope that we will hear
no more o f these annoying questions.
Jack McNeely has a twin brother, Jim.
Here’s what Jack hadi to say. “ Being a
twin isn’t any different to me than hav
ing just a plain brother. Jim and I have
always had a lot of fun together, though,
since we run around with the same gang
of kids and do a lot of the same things.”
Lillian and Marjorie Forbes: “ Well,
we fight just as much as regular sisters,
so I guess it isn’t very different to be
