Advice to Undergraduates 5 By Hammond Livingston VVe, the Class of 19-1-3, 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. VVe advise the Class of 1944 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. lVc advise the Class of 1945 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 19-1-6 should keep a strict- er eye on the incoming freshmen. 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 year's 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 heis 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 Johnnv Mav- nard continue their watchful guarding of the Misses Chaffee and McKillop. 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 ofiicials 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. VVe 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. Afs 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. l20l
