Paramount Pep-O-Grams (1927)

P E P-O-G RAMS Page Seven ITEMS OF INTEREST FOR THOSE WHO THINK, AND WANT TO KNOW By IRENE F. SCOTT, Chairman of Educational Committee The Educational Committee desires to call attention to the Columbia University Extension notice posted on the various bulletin boards throughout the building. Bulletins of Fall prospectuses are coming in from the various schools which send us regularly their announcements. In the files of the Educational Committee there is a bulletin from the Newspaper . Institute of America, Inc. which purports for the sum of about $85.00 to be able to teach newspaper writing, journalism or preparation for short story writing. No one is enrolled in the course without having first passed a written examination and for any one interested it looks as if this might have something to it. Of course no one can promise absolutely to develop any one into a successful writer. This would be absolutely at the risk of and | on the judgment of the club members. The Building Management advises that the barber shop located in Room 309 in the Paramount Building was re-opened for patronage cn Tuesday morning, August 21st. It is under the management of the Ambassador Chain of Barber Shops, fully equipped to render first-class barber shop service, together with beauty parlor service for the benefit of women patrons.

The editor has received a number of very excellent contributions which are more of a general and less of a topical nature. These do not appear in the current issue, partly because of the reduction in size of this issue, and partly because the pick of these contributions are being held for the Fourth Anniversary Issue of Pep-O-Grams, published October 9th. DEEPEST SYMPATHY The Paramount-Pep Club offers deepest condolences to Helen ‘Winston, of Publix Theatres Corporation, who suffered the loss of her brother. CHANNEL SWIMMERS NOTE Just ten blocks north of the Paramount Building it is possible for you to take a glorious swim in the crystal pool of the Park Central Hotel, on 55th Street at Seventh Avenue. Special concessions to Paramount-Pep Club members are encompassed in the club rate tickets, which cost only 75 cents each and are available from Raymond V. Keenan, chairman of the Athletic Committee. That sounds like a pretty good and economical splash to us !
