He is making a nation-wid- e tour of high schools and universities for this purpose. April 10 has been set as the date. ranK got nis big start singing with Tommy Dorsey's orchestra. He was, according to Downbeat's poll, the top singer for 1943. Mr. Sinatra also has to his credit the breaking of all attendance records at New York's Paramount Thea-ter. Now, after a successful start of a radio career, this wonder singer is rising fast to fame as a motion picture star. His first starring film was the RKO pro-duction, "Higher and Higher," which aioused a great deal of en-thusiasm from his thousands of fans. He js very grateful to all his fans, is at all times willing to sign autographs, and anxious to please them in every way. Frank is slim, five feet ten and one half inches tall, with a broad grin and touseled hair. He is an earnest young- - fellow of twenty-si- x and his boyish sincerity is largely responsible for the ease with which he wins the respect and adoration of so many girls. Frank Sinatra is most comfor-table in sport clothes. Bow ties, sport jackets, and sweaters are always connected with his already famous name. It has been report-ed that a number of such of his belongings will be auctioned off at the big bond rally. Mr. Sina-tra will also sing and put on a skit using some students chosen from the South high audience. His favorite person is his wife Nancy. His favorite food is spa-ghetti. His favorite position for sleeping is on his face, and his favorite song is "Night and Day." Hundreds of fan clubs have been organized throughout the entire' country. It has recently been found true that the average age of Sinatra fans is nineteen years, but the ages of his fans are anything from six to sixty. Frank Sinatra's fans are faithful and devoted to him, setting him up as an ideal. Many of the songs he has sung have become very popular, and it has been said that if Sinatra sings a song it will become pop-ular, so great is his power over the modern music lovers of to-day. Examples of this statement are the following songs: "A Love-ly Way to Spend an Eeyening," "I Couldn't Sleep a Wink Last Night," "All or Nothing at All." Frank has made a number of rec-ords and each one has proven to be a best-sellin- g recording. Mr. Sinatra has been married four years to his childhood sweet-heart and is the father of two children, a girl and a boy. Mrs. Sinatra will not accompany him on this tour. Harry James and Betty Grable are their closest , friends in Hollywood. Frank Sinatra is a very inter-esting and likable person, and the bond-- rally on April 10 will surely be one of the biggest and most appreciated events in the history of South high school. So, stu-dents, don't forget your money on that red-lett- er day, because if you do, you will surely miss one of the greatest opportunities to own something of an outstanding American idol. (And one more thing if you believe he's coming you're a big-ger fool than I thought you were.
