lN'IcLEOD-Mac was always either doing little things for the Junior-League, such as throw- ing together five-story houses, or Hitting back and forth for War Council Meet- ings. Of course he was always careful that his knee didn't take off and roll down the hall without him. MOREHOUSE-Everyone thought Wade was a nice, quiet lad until malicious stories began to dribble in from the outlying districts of Waterford. An investigation forced the Morehouses to move to Albany. After that, Wade was identihed by that devilish little red hat in the better spots in town. l'Old Automatic was the only student in the history of the school to pass Solid Geometry on the basis of one statement. NIORRIS- Hey listen, you guys, I've got an idea! Gordon was always hatching brain- storms or campaigning for changes in the school. In his own little way Gordy', got to know quite a few of the younger set around town. He met them in the funniest places, such as in the ferris wheel at the carnival, or at one of his ubarn dancesfl OLCOTT-Bob has been busy all year in organizing the Albany Chapter of the League To Defend England No Matter What Happens. In addition he has been waging ,pitched battles daily with Mr. Holmes on the interpretation of physics and home- work included therein. REES-Dave kept Mrs. Munson on the Sixth Form map with his regular attendance and also represented the ultra-ultra in manners and living-room technique. Every once in a while, however, he would come out with a statement that set the boys back on their heels. ROSE-Artie didn't creep out of Chapel for nothing when the F.B.I. agent visited school this winter. He thought Coach was investigating whether that arm he had bandaged to the hilt before every basketball game was in one or two pieces. - RYAN-Such a nice, quiet, unassuming lad--this Ryan boy. Queried recently as to the secret of his success with the opposite sex, Don promptly replied, I have always maintained that lots of sleep and lots of studying Csometimes in books, sometimes notj work wonders for every enterprising Don Juanf' And then he added, Always wash your face with warm water before you go outg it produces a lovely blush and is marvelous for your complexion? Say fella! SMITH---The crowd at the Prize Speaking Contest was hushed, the next speaker was about to be announced. But where was the next speaker? Just as the final words of the introduction were completed, there was a slight disturbance, and down the aisle strode Oney. Learning that he was due on the platform, he was assisted to the stage and, to quote Socrates, He done noblyf' Thus was completed another tense drama, with the unknowing world as an audience. SWIRE-Here, ladies and gentlemen, you may see for one dime, one tenth of a dollar, the authentic, the original Snookums Swire, the only man with the bulbous nose. Poor Umbriago was the most misinformed fellow in school. They say . . . some one told me . . . I heard . . . one of the fellows was saying . . .H -he never got any further, Hawn always laughed him down. TOWNSEND-Nobody has yet figured out what happened to Glen in the A.H.S. basketball game when he put in three in a row from way out. Whatever it was, he wasn't the same man afterwards. The town of Ravena has presented him with the key to his own back door, you know, you know, you know. TRUCHIO-The Times Union had more writeups during the football season on Truch's educated toe than on the war situation. They gave the size of his foot, what color shoes he was wearing, and the name of the girl he was taking out on Sat- urday night. Mr. Midgley has finally convinced him not only that the Monroe Doctrine was not passed by a vote of 51-48, but that it was not passed at all by any body. Of course, it's all in the way you look at it. VALLEY-It isn't widely known that Mort is a close friend of a native Cohoesite who stars as Z1 monster in the horror thrillers. Incidentally, everyone at school thinks that Mortls classic beauty and deep bass voice will make him a sure hit in the cinema. After all, some one has to take Crosby's place. WOOSTER-Roy is the unchallenged master of the triple deal. He has plunged in and out of more tight spots in his time than that amazing little imp, Bolivar Shagnasty. Royls stirring pep talks were instrumental in holding up thc high standards of the color guard. How far up no one will say, but up they were. Editorls Note: As has previously been announced, the names of the members of the board of three which is responsible for the above Humoresque must for reasons of security, remain anonymous. Incidentally-and let me emphasize this point-the rumor that our Miami cor- respondent had a major hand in the effort is wholly without foundation. 44 22 77
