He sat at a table leisurely eating a
light breakfast of oatmeal, honey and
coffee. Dressed neatly In a durk blue
suit, white shirt, and black-and-white
lie, there was nothing, until he spoke,
two boats, a 48-foot fishing boat and
an 85-foot yacht. At this time he is
planning a trip to Bermuda during
the Christmas holidays.
"The only thing wrong with this trip
is that 1 won't be able to make it in
to reveal that he was the famous, my yacht; that's impossible because of

Metropolitan Opera Company baritone,
John Charles Thomas.
His decision to become a singer was
a hard one to make, for he was torn
between two loves, music and medi-
cine, but he makes light of it.
t"I tossed a nickel up; heads for
; music and tails for medicine. Heads
turned up, so 1 started singing for an
operatic career,'' he said, with a
twinkle in his eyes and a careless ges-
ture.
Mr, Thomas came to New Orleans
| to appear in n conceit sponsored by
the uncertainty of weather conditions
around this time," he said regretful-
Jy-
Just before the conclusion of this in-
terview, a call came to him from New
York. When he returned he was
asked by his manager if the call was
important. "The most important call
I could ever receive," he replied,
smiling.
That call was from Mrs. John
Charles Thomas,, the chief reason for
the singer's ambitions, and his main
inspiration and help in the achieve-
ment of them

Farewell To Rice ;
Ah Rice, the time draws near for me, j
While in a spell, to bid farewell
Te the joyous days that soon will lie j
Forever gone, as time rolls on, j
Goodbye to ol I the things adored,
The campus green, the profs, the dean.
Your beloved books with wisdom
■' 'Stored, ' 1
The skies above, the clouds I love
The Campanile, each building great
Will last for me in memory, j
1 pass in life through a jeweled gate,
As with tear-dimmed eye, I say good-
bve.
