There seems to be a slight confusion at the door. VVell, guess who just arrived. Those athletic figures of today and yester- day, Gerald Dixon, Hammond Livingston and John Ledden. They seem to have trou- ble in obtaining the seats they desire. Now they have been seated and are nodding to all their old friends. They are owners of the G re at We-Show-You-How-But-God- Bless-You-If-You-Get-It organization, but donit let the name baffle you because I as- sure you all the leading pool, crap, and ping- pong owners have huge investments in this thriving organization. Making my way through the crowd I next greet Gordon Spooner accompanied by a slender, stylish and successful-looking Woman. Why it's Marmete Corliss! For a moment I didn't recognize her. She must have at last found a diet which has had the desired effect. Gor- don is looking as natural as ever but his voice is high pitched. He tells me that he is a professor of Chemistry at B. F. A. now. That strain on his vocal chords no doubt is caused by the extreme effort which he must make in getting his subject across. On the side he has been inventing many labor-sav- ing devices. His latest product has just been sold to the Lux Tub Co. It is only for the busy business man. In the morning when he awakes, he pushes a button at the top of his bed, and from beneath his bed out pops a bath tub filled with steaming hot water. Another push of a button brings his break- fast and he soaks while he eats. Marmete is editor of the largest daily paper in the City of St. Albans and is very active politically. The ladies in the front row are all so stylishly and becomingly dressed that they arouse my curiosity and I go up to greet them. They are Jean MacArthur, Monica Lareau, Loretta Vincelette, and Joyce Mur- ray. Jean designs gowns for all the best dressed women in the country and also owns several exquisite, not to say expensive, dress shops in the city. She herself looks the glass of fashion and the mold of form. Joyce, Monica and Loretta seem well and happy. Joyce smiles and asks me how I like their column which is run in Marmeteis city news called Technique For Those Who Lack It. YVho wouldn't like helpful suggestions in that course? Three outstanding and stylishly garbed women have just entered the audi- torium. They are Pauline Bessette, Frances Fiske and Celia Constantine. These three girls are food specialists and have been do- ing work in Nova Zembla, the island of frozen Words and foods. They have intro- I 16 duced to the natives the latest method for defrosting foods and the use of dehydrated products. Now the entertainment is to begin. The lights in the auditorium fade and the foot lights flash on. Before the packed house ap- pears Hugh Gorton who receives a rising ovasion. He is now Chief Justice of the Su- preme Court of Nations. As master of cere- monies he makes an excellent speech of wel- come. Then on the darkened stage in the spotlight appears a dainty figure kissing her hand to the audience. My goodness, it is Marguerite Bliss, the Russian ballet and U. S. toe dancer. She delights the audience with her sparkling dances. The spotlight is then shifted to the great organ and the judge introduces Barbara Atkins now or- ganist in a city church and a teacher in an institute of organ music. She plays beau- tifully and looks not a day older than when she played in the high school orchestra. Next, two lovely ladies appear on the stage and are introduced as Jean Buck and Merna Darby. Jean speaks first and seems to hav: acquired a foreign accent. Now she drops the accent and is talking the way she used to talk. She is telling all about Hollywood and how she became famous. It is no surprise to us that she is such a success in the pic- tures. That girl could play any part, from Juliet to Mother Goose. Now Merna makes a friendly speech. She is a writer of plays and has two successful ones now running on Broadway. The curtain is drawn and the all-girl orchestra, directed by Betty Jane Tuscany plays the old time melodies for a brief in- termission. I notice that Carolyn Brooks is playing the 'cello. She is a famous 'cellist and has just returned from a concert tour in Europe. In fact she returned a week ear- lier in order to attend the Old Home Week celebration. Then the judge announces that after the movie The Miller's Daughter has been shown, the audience is invited to adjourn for refreshments at the Old Home Tea Room operated by Carol White and Catherine Reynolds. For the next hour we are fully entertained by the movie. Then all the performers appear on the stageg our or-- ganist and violinist play, and led by Betty Jane Tuscany, we all sing Auld Lang Sync. It has been a real delight to see all my old friends so young and yet so prosperous. so generous of their money and talent. It has truly been an Old Home VVeek to be proud of and one the home folks will never forget. l

dvice to Under raduates E By Hammond Livingston We, the Class of 194-3, having lived and learned, worked and played, laugh- ed and cried, and showed a brilliance of mind far surpassing that of any other class that has passed through the portals of B. F. A. in many a moon, have neverthe- less made a few mistakes. As a result, we feel that you, the un- derclassman would reap a rich harvest if you would listen carefully to the council of members of a class that have spent four years at this institution of knowledge, and that you might profit by our mistakes. We advise the Class of 194-4 to get out their chemistry books early, if they intend to pass that subject of Hulls and Barkers and a few other geniuses. Also let them be mindful of the fact that they are to help Mr. Dickinson keep the school running in as dignified a manner as the Class of '43 did. YVe advise the Class of 194-5 to get as much as they can from their school books, athletics, and social functions, because years later they will in all probability proclaim their junior year of high school the happiest of their lives. The Class of 194-6 should keep a strict- er eye on the incoming fresllmen. We regret to say that last yearis freshman class had little or no restraining hand placed upon them. It is the duty of the sophomores to make next yearys freshmen toe the mark. The Class of 19417 has a long row to hoe, but they should start early to make their high school career a success and we are sure it will be. To the students of B. F. A. as individ- uals we advise: That Herbie Brault regain his self-com- posure within the next eleven months. He's been blue because Leola doesn't live here any more. That fisherman Herbie Kenyon find out whether he's got that mermaid hooked or whether she's just toying with the bait. That VVarren McGowan get some in- surance quick before it's too late on that motor-driven resemblance to a Rolls Royce he has in his possession. That Dick Shepard and Johnny May- nard continue their watchful guarding of the Misses Chaffee and McKillop. I 20 That all candidates for baseball have due respect for Ralph Fortin's pitching pow- ers. If they don't they're apt to get a bump for their doubts. That Doc Bronson see the city officials about removing that annoying street light, which lights up No. 7 High Street like a torch on dark nights. That Betty Kelley shoo all Burlington Boys away from her front door and save her charms for the Green and Gold. We advise Dorothy Lawton to see Mr. Dexter for a fitting solution, if she ever gets stuck in the middle of one of her his- tory yarns. We advise Jeff Griffin to fix the press on his right pant leg, eight inches from the bottom, it is 1-11th of an inch out of press. Please remedy this, Jeff, and see to it that it does not happen again during your high school career. That Hitler, Tojo, and Mussolini keep a respectable distance from George Benham and that steel bladed bolo knife he made at B. F. A.'s own production plant-the Shop Room. That Roger Jette get a patent on his laugh so Gildersleeve won't sue him for impersonating him. That Winfield Boardman and Robert Unwin buy Aldis Hill so that they'll have a good supply of botany specimens. That Robert Brooks employ a personal secretary to see that he gets to music and art classes on the right day. That Gwen Stanley lend one of her horses to her boy friends so they won't get lost returning from her home in the country. That all girls get in a good supply of stationery and ink so that they can write to the boys who are leaving shortly to help Uncle Sam win the war, not to mention those that have already gone. And last but not least, that all under- graduate girls get an autographed picture of Johnny Ledden in his baseball uniform. Although we realize that points are ra- tioned this year, the above advice is not ra- tioned, and we hope that you have received many points which will help you'in future years. l
