But being an old percussionist we
feel a kindredshlp for Miss Ball, the
marimba player. In the "Kindergar-
ten Symphony" of 1988 we played
a hemisemidemiquaver on the tri
angle during a rendition of "Jingle
Bells." Since then we watch the
percussion section more than the
conductor at a concert.

Information gives YOU the answers
... who gives them to HER?
A lot of people lake I lie Information Ser-
vice of the Bell Sy stem for granted. Little
do they realize what it lakes to answer
some two and a half million questions
during a normal day.
Of course it takes operators ; ; ; over
12,000 highly skilled "Information"
operators.
But, in addition, it takes a staff of
trained executive personnel.
They plan this service for cities and
towns across the country so that "Infor-
mation" can quickly find the latest
listings of the many telephones within
her area—from records that arc brought
up to date daily. And it is they who
study operating methods and equipment
in the never-ending search to make this
service ever faster, ever better.
Is it any wonder that today, more than
ever before, management is interested
in young men with imagination and am-
bition . . : men to develop with the
industry?

For his leadership of 400 men in '

I professor Girard was listed for de-
, puliation to Germany, However, the
j Americans liberated Burgandy be-
i fore Girard could be captured.
I Mr. Girard, having an acute
! sense of humor, said "The most
| ludicrous thing I have ever seen was
! the German retreat. The Nazis had
driven into France in armored cars'
and tanks; their uniforms were very
sharp and beribboned, and their'
I attitudes were overbearing and
i haughty. \
j "When the master race sneaked
j out of France, however, the soldiers 1
pushed baby carriages before them
filled with the things they had
looted like clocks, tapestries, books,
plates, and Bhoes."
Mr. Girard had very good rela-
tions with the Americans in France.
He met a Houstonian in Burgandy,
with whom he has been trying to
contact since his arrival.
The professor was born, reared,
and educated in Tours, a very fa-
mous old city which is the site of
several medieval castles and a t •
tracts many American tourists. Af-
ter attending the College of Louis
the Great at Tours, he studied at
Les Sorbonne in Paris, a school of
the University of Paris devoted to
letters and liberal arts. While there
he studied under Cazamion and
Chamard, two French professors
who had lectured at Rice in pre-
vious years.
According to Mr. Girard, the Rice
Institute was highly praised by the
French attache and the two men
mentioned above for its high schol-
astic standing and its cosmofjgll-
tan faculty.
Professor Girard has the French
equivalent of a M. A„ and Is a mem-
ber of the "Agrejacion", a scholarly
organisation resembling the Royal
Society of Fellows in England.
