THE GREEN AND WHITE 27 As the Green White goes to press the Alumni Editor is happy to note the recent re-organization of the Colt Memorial High School Alumni Association, held at the reception and supper given by the Green White staff May 21st. Due to the efforts of the board, and especially the untiring interest and zeal of Miss Sara C.

Sheldon: “That’s the height of pro- crastination.” Hobbs: “Sav, Beans, where were vou last—” (Enter Serbst, Kenney and Makowskv, late to class as usual.) Makowskv: HOBBS!” (imitating Mr. Strong’s reproachful tone.) The class quiets down and then starts to swear because it was not Mr. Strong (not through sorrow, but joy.) Hobbs: “I got California on mv set last night.” Class in unison : “That’s the oil.” (Makowskv, Serbst, and Kenney, during this confusion are in perfect order doing their class work for the next day.)
