"Singing Nun'' Is Rich
in Melody And Story
"The Singing-Nun", beautifully creates a combination of folk-style
sung- by Soeur Sout'ire ("The Srnil- , songs and the old-fashioned idea
of a beautiful melody.
ing Sister") is a touching album
designed for listeners who are
ready for something different and
melodious.
While "Dominique" is the most
popular of the twelve selections in
the album, the others are equally
good. The simplicity of a single
voice accompanied by a guitar,

THE SLOW RUSH
'illustrated below is the membership pin of a brand-new? na-
tional fraternity called Signa Plii Nothing. To join Signa Phi
Nothing and get this hideous membership pin absolutely free,"
simply take a pair of scissors, cut out the illustration, and paste
it on your cheat;
Let me hasten to state that I do not recommend your joining
Signa Phi Nothing. The only thing I recommend in this column
is Marlboro Cigarettes, as any honest man would who likes
'good tobacco and a good filter, whose heart is quickened by a
choice of soft pack or Flip-Top Box, and who gets paid every
week for writing this column.
I am frankly hard put to think of any reason why you should
join Signa Plu Nothing, Some people, of course, are joiners by
nature; if you are one such, I am bound to toll you there are
any number of better organizations for you to join—the Cosa
Nostra, for ;example, or the Society for the Placing of Water
Troughs in Front of Equestrian Statues).
But if you insist on joining Signa Phi Nothing, let me give
you several warnings. First off, it is the only fraternity which
admits girls. Second, there is 110 pledge period; each new mem-
ber immediately goes active. Perhaps "inactive" is a more ac-
curate word: there are no meetings, no drives, no campaigns,
ao sports, $o games, no dues, no grip, and no house.
The only thing Signa Phi Nothing has in common with othef
fraternities? is a fraternity hymn. In fact, two hymns were sub-
mitted to a recent meeting of the national board of directors
(none of whom attended). The first hymn goes;
~ Signa Phi Nothing,
Shining star,
How we wonder
If you are.
The second hymn, rather more poetic m content, is to b®
gung to tU« tune of Also Syrach Zarathmtra}
A Guernsey's a cow,
A road is a lane,
When you're eating chowl
Remember the mein.
Pending the next meeting of the national board of directors
(which /will never be held) members are authorized to sing
either hymn. Or, for that matter, Frenesi.
Perhaps you are wondering why there should be such a fra-
ternity as Signa Phi Nothing. I can give you an answer—an
answer with which you cannot possibly disagree; Signa Phi
Nothing fills a well-needed gap.
Are you suffering from mental health? Is logic distorting
your thinking? Is ambition encroaching on your native sloth?
Is your long-cherished misinformation retreating before a sea
of facts? la short, has education caught up with you?
■ If so, congratulations. But spring is'upon us and the sap is
rising, and the mind looks back with poignant longing to the
days when it was a puddle of unreason.
If—just for a moment—you want to recapture those care-
less vaporings, that warm, squishy confusion, then join Signa
Phi Nothing and renew your acquaintance with fecklestmess.
We promise nothing, and, by George, we deliver it!

We, the makers of Marlboro Cigarettes,promise smoking en

The story of Soeur Sourire is it-
self as interesting and enjoyable
as the recordings. Along with the
record, Soeur Sourire includes
many of her watercolor sketches
of convent life.
This unlikely release came about
by a long series of events. It be-
gins when a young girl joins Fich-
ermont, the Belgian convent of
missionary nuns of the Dominican,
order, with only a guitar named
Adele for her companion.
The story of the amazing dis-
covery, as related in the album fol-
der, goes something like this —
At special times of the year,
groups of young' girls come to
Fichermont to make their retreat.
:In the evenings, their spiritual
'studies and contemplation over,
they gather on the garden grounds
to laugh and play with the sis-
ters. One evening1 Soeur Sourire
began to sing and strum her gui-
tar. One. by one the girls became
silent and drew closer, A magic
spell held sway.
The vibrant voice of the young
novice, the pulsing chords of the
- guitar, drifted into the night.
When song and music ceased, each
girl sat mute in her reverie.
The girls begged for an encore.
"Could wo have a recording made
to take homo with us?" they
pleaded. Soeur Sourire was aston-
ished; the other nuns were intri-
gued. Why not share this gift of
song and music? With Reverend
Mother's permission, the decision
was made.
The recording session in Brus-
sels over, the clamor and clatter" of
the city was soon forgotten as
Soeur Sourire returned to the
tranquil life of Fichermont.
But the world will not soon for-
get the "Smiling Sister", for her
messages live on in son*1.
