13. F. A. Mercury 13 I Advice to the nder raduates CAROL CATLIN AND DAVID BELL In past years, it has been customary that the outgoing seniors leave with the undergrads morsels of advice. The class of 1955 has set superior examples which we believe the under- graduates are worthy enough to pursue. It is with deep regret that we leave you underclass- men, but know you regret even more the event of our parting. To the in-coming freshmen, we have just two words of advice: Gain Altitude. We ask the freshmen to please refrain from boldness. It doesnlt suit their stature as under- classmen. Sophomores, next year you will have passed the point of 110 return. You will be upperclass- men. Shed your foolish ways and conduct your- self like the Juniors this year havenit. Seniors-to-be, donlt lose hope. Your sentence is up next year and you will become free men. Since high school students are supposed to he worldly-wise and sophisticated, we advise all underclassmen to do away with their sticky lollipops and assume a more dignified pastime. Now a word from the wise to students whom we think could profit from some good unsound advice and our advice is: That Kay Ready and Mary Ellen Gillespie stay away from sun lamps. Cherry red comple- xions a1'en't the style this year. That Judy Gregg control her emotions when she gets excited in front of certain people. That B.F.A. install a lost and found depart- ment for such articles as money, books, clothing, boyfriends and freshmen. That B. F. A. boys purchase a new compass that doesn,t point north all the time. That Rita Ploof keep at the right of the hall in passing so she won't get trampled on. That Lynn Wood buy some good warm clothes-it's cold in Eskimo land. That Tom Cummings take a few Casanova lessons from John Bushey. That Gail Montgomery throw out an extra big net, Dave Reirdon is quite a catch. That Mary Lou Burnor and Mary Ellen Gillespie strengthen their writing hands-theylll need them next year. That Sandy Rath take a few hints from ltsy Hogan on how to hold a man. That some trustworthy underclassmen keep promoting good will between B. F. A. and B. H. S. as Bob VVheelock alld Jimmy Steinhour have done. That Greg Pierce follow Bruce in his superior driving skill. That Linda Soule set her clocks hack to standard time so that she will be sure to get to school on time. That Bobby Pierce keep his stories about girls at Stowe to himself. That Buzz Sylvester find a girl. We have offered this advice with malice toward none, but we hope it will not be entirely unacknowledged.

1:2 B. F. A. Mercury had the receptionist, Nancy Ouellet, call the lieadquarters of the New York police for help. 'We knew that we were dealing with desperate crimnals and we could not atlord to take chances. 8:30 p.m.-Lt. Gaylord Boucher arrived with his riot squadv and they threw a dragnet around the area. 8:45 p.m.-Head ushers at the studio, W'illiam Crocker and Robert Bombardier, quiet- ly asked the people sitting around the suspects to move. We were taking every precaution for the personal safety of everyone involved. 9:00 p.m.-Now that the area around the suspects was cleared, we had the television broadcast stopped just as Stanley Lareau was making his debut in the most dramatic sensation of the season- Shake, Rattle and Rollv. Our suspects quickly caught on to what we were doing and tried to make a break for it. They were quickly apprehended, with not too much trouble. 9:45 p.m.-Our suspects were booked at headquarters on suspicion of robbery. Their prints were taken, and were sent down-stairs to the iile room to be checked by Roddy Vallee, the expert in this field. 10:45 After an hour of in- terrogation the suspects still had not confessed to having taken the file. 11:15 They broke, They confessed to having taken the folders. But they still would not tell us why. 11:30 Madeline .,. .Afi- jones, Mr. Valleeis secretary, brought in his re- port on the suspects. They had been identified as ..... Pat Kalahari and Averill Moore. Now the big question was, WHY? Why had they taken the files from the office of their Alma Mater? Finally they broke down and told us that they had applied for a job at the Mayhew Sanitorium for the Mentally lncurable. Miss Nlayhew wanted only employees of the highest mentality, and she had told them she would have to examine their high school marks before she could hire them. Not wanting Miss Mayhew to see their terrible marks, Miss Kalahari and Miss Moore had stolen them. Then when Miss May- hew sent for their marks there wouldnit be any tell-tale marks against them. That way they had a better chance of getting the positions at the sanitorium. They were put under guard of policewoman janet Messier, until the time of the trial. Now the results af the private hearing held in the Police Chiefis office: Since it was their first oitense, the judge dismissed the two with a mild reprimand. And thus ended the case of the missing files. This has been a Hiram Bellows production. The Director was George Wood, jr. The part of the judge was played by E. Sunderland.
