Marie's quiet dignity and charm have gained for her many lasting friends dur- ing her four years at B. H. S.

THE DIALF 'S 2I new song hit based upon that favorite The Music Goes Round and Round. As it came around the second time, while he was playing it as a solo at the Cotton Club, the reed broke in his mouth, and he choked to death. Maurice Cobb isn't here tonight. He became a famous Arctic explorer. One day, while climbing over an ice cake, he slipped and broke his leg, so his Esquimo com- panions had to shoot him. He was given military honors by the Brattleboro Reformer. Lydia Harris rose to fame soon after graduating. She won the National Baking Contest prize! Miss Crisco, l936.,' Robert Stebbins starred in the million-dollar produc- tion of ujack in the Beanstalk. We all went to the show, but nary hide nor hair of him could we see, so we went backstage. We found that Stebbins was the beanstalk. Deacon Carlton Smith was quite shocked one day when he came upon the East Putney Nudist Colony headed by two of his old classmates, john and Marjorie Clark. Marjorie Fossey, who raises blue-ribbon Guernseys in West Chesterfield, tried to save money by feeding ground glass to the cows so that the milk would come out bottled. Several of the boarders in Rachel Wells, boarding house nearly starved to death, because, for several morn- ings, she absent-mindedly threw away the doughnuts and saved the holes. George Sprague, the truck driver, planned to be here tonight, but a few days ago he displayed his Herculean strength on a state trooper who told him that his truck was overloaded. He now is temporarily residing in jail. jean Barnard, who has just entered, looks rather wan and thin, but as she is a Spencer Corsetierre, we imagine that her looks are due to the fact that she is all wrapped up in her work. George Green and Gertrude Ingram, those two ro- manticists, have spent their idyllic married life in a Vene- tian houseboat, tied to a tree in back of the milk plant. The marriage nearly came to an end when Gertrude un- reasonably stated that she was sick of her twenty years' diet of fish and milk. After graduating from Katie Gibbs', Betsey Hall be- came secretary for some of Long Islands social leaders. Unknown to herself, her charming personality and beauty led every family for which she worked into the divorce courts. In despair, she came home and now does book- keeping for the newly established home for the deaf and blind. Stan juscen is tour conductor for the Cunard line. Dur- ing a short stay in the Fiji Islands, he showed the in- habitants how to play football. He became such a hero that now the immigration to the United States of feminine Fiji natives is becoming an international problem. Genevieve Palmer, the jane Adams of White River Junction, through her untiring diligence, has raised the social status of the community until it is nearly equal to that of Westminster West. Our favorite eight o'clock program on a Sunday night announced the appearance of the Major's own private secretary in person, Miss Sylvia Brockington. Everything was fine, until she went into her dance-then she found the Harwood floors were too much for her. William Ryan has an excellent position in the Kellog Company. Hels the chap who puts the shreds in Shredded Wheat. Bradshaw Crandall caught sight of Maxine Sargent's picture down in front of Lewis Brown's studio, and now she poses for his pastel cover designs. Her face turned out to be her fortune. Ruth Bolster still has the sweet tooth. She puts the bolts in Bolster chocolate bars. Emily and Madeline Birch have just entered with their twin husbands. They both fell in love with what they imagined was the same man. When they realized their mistake, they decided to compromise, so they flipped a coin. Speaking of sports, jack Emery is now head coach at Dartmouth of both skiing and tennis. His size, bronzed complexion and ability in the war dance have made him a tribal chief and mascot of the college. Betsey White's marriage dissolved while she was work- ing as a Dorothy Dix on the Boston Globe. Her husband sent her a letter written under an assumed name, telling how his wife henpecked him and domineered him. Her answer in the paper told him to show his wife who was boss, well-he took the advice. I guess theylre all accounted for folks, so we shall fold up our fountain pens, like the Arabs, and silently steal HWHY- --Dorff Heyer -Dnrward Chamberlain NG-Men!! fC0nlinued from page 61 illustrates what a vast amount of scientific data can be built up with painstaking effort. The Division does not base its campaign upon the personal courage and initiative of its men. Essentially, it is a coordinating agency for the law and order forces of the cities and states. It has no wish whatever to federalize the forces of law and order. As a particular part of its coordinating work, the Division publishes a monthly bulletin of Fugitives wanted by the Police, which is widely circulated. It also publishes crime statistics which show trends, and which indicate where effort must be exerted in the future. Figures show that more criminals are arrested at the age of 19 than at any other age. This means much. An encouraging fact is that the statistics do not show a crime wave going on at the present, except in the headlines. The job of holding off the gangster, the kidnapper and the thug is too big for any one group. Crime prevention calls for the services of many people: the lawyer, the doctor, the sociologist, the police ofi'icer, the welfare fC01ztinued on page 4.2!
