1 1 1 I. L I F E — 1 9 4 2 Senior Prophecy . . And it is a small world — for whom should I run into on a recent trip to the Big Cit ' but mv old class mate, Almonte C. Howell, who has won world wide fame as a historian. I was astonished at the number of our senior class with whom he had kept in touch and was interested to learn that: Margaret Hagood has worked her way into the editorship of the Flatljush Daily Mirror. In addition to the morning and evening six page magazine section entitled Notorious Moments — featuring Mag, written by Mag, copyrighted by Mag, and originated by Mag — ■ she runs a two page article on that witty vaudeville team — Monk and Romie. fames Blackwood is so convincingly disguised as a salesman for the Wc-niake- ' em You-break- ' cm T pewriter Compan) ' that you would never suspect him of wearing a shin}- detecti •c ' s badge on the lining of his coat. Our historian friend intimate]}- re xalcd that Sling Scotch Pattie ' s cabaret is the cur- rent hang-out for the elite of the Bowery district. Recently seen and heard thereabouts were: that baseball shark, Homer Lloyd with the well-known TORCHer singer, Theresa Speaks. Hoping to gather some local color, Walter Carroll has reserved a secluded table right across from that of Rosalind Rosemond, who is to have a part in his new play. Black-eyed Susie, the first woman cab-driver, waits outside in case the patrons get bored. Recently Black-jack Lasley and his gang, consisting of Andy Gutierrez and Bruce, the Martindale, gave her a scare when they leaped into her cab with drawn guns. However, she soon recovered, and took them for a ride. Miss Phyllis Ray ' s Female Seminary and Finishing School has the highest academic standing among Eastern Colleges for Women. Some outstanding members of the board are: Miss Pauline Gattis — Dean of Students, Miss Addie Lillian Campbell — Dean of Women, Miss Edna Wilson — Dean of Girls. Winfield Rose has made a big name for himself for his speed as a tobacco auctioneer. He is closely associated with Dallas Caldwell, who has won the Hog Calling Contest in three counties. The Rev. Richard Kenfield preaches peacefully from his pulpit, having taken up the ministry since the tire-rationing began. Last week Mayor Lemuel Carson of Long Run presented the key of the city to Roland Giduz, who in ' ented Ever Endurable Hose. The students of Miss Beth Raborg agree that she kurrrcs her Trench but still feel that her discipline is unnecessarily strict. Marie Neville is a favorite with old and young when she sings Little Songs of Long Ago on the Peter Hexner hour. Of course there ' s always the bad along with the good, and we find that some have gone astray. Gilmer Lasley, Henri Huse, Dwight Pendergraft, and Rob Wettach are serving lengthy terms on the road. And in solitary confinement at the woman ' s prison, Doris Brad- shaw, Emily Tufts and Marianne Browne are paying the penalty for horse thieving. Professor Howell made the astounding statement that these and other unusual facts about our former class mates are to appear in his new book, For Whom the Gongs Sounded, which will be published in 1962.

HILLIFE— 1942 Last Will and Testament In which the aforesaid class does hereby bequeath, donate, present, at such time as it shall be departed from the portals of the aforementioned place of education, the following pieces of property owned by its various members, to such remaining members of the aforesaid place of education whom it shall be seen ht to receive such: I. Bob Wettach gives his ability of leadership to Erie Peacock j and as an additional necessity, he leaves him his long legs. II. Margaret Carmichael lea ' es her glamour to Jean Hoganj we hope Jean can handle it. III. Ed Burks leaves his knavish roguery to Lewis Pendergraft. IV. Caroline House presents her sense of humor to Lois Groves, in hopes that it will be used to an advantage in her future plays and other writings, V. Billy Smith, hearing of the rubber shortage, quickly bought himself several years ' supply of chewing gum. This he leaves to be divided between Mr. Munch and Mr. Gicluz — to be used only during teaching hours. VI. Doris Bradshaw leaves her mischievous grin to Peggy Zimmer- mann. VII. Winfield Rose bestows his expressionless countenance upon Ned Linker. He also leaves him his clarinet-playing ability. VIII. Snooky Phipps leaves her sparkling vivacity to Marcella Harrer. IX. Monk Jennings leaves his slap-happy personality to James Dob- bins. X. Anne Holmes willingly bestows her athletic ability upon Winny Cheek. XI. The MacMillan twins leave their startling mutual resemblance to be used by another pair of boys, so that there will be some twins left in school in the future. They have chosen Donne Campbell and Lawrence Fore for this task. XII. Margaret Hagood leaves her well-disguised naivete to Beverly Bartlett. XIII. Last year Max Edney bequeathed away his dancing ability, but he decided to keep it, so he spent another year in school. He leaves this talent this year to Alfred Kirkland, but with no guarantee. XIV. Whitfield Lloyd gives her artless (we hope) ways to Lillian Durham. XV. Roland Giduz leaves his business ability to Sebastian Sommer. XVI. Harriet Sanders bestows her intellectualism upon Dutch Poe. XVII. Marianne Browne leaves her coy coquettishness to Helen Jane Wettach. XVIII. Tubby Sessoms leaves his stolid and um ' ufiled nature as well as his unobtrusiveness to Billy Carmichael. XIX. Dick Kenfield bequeathes his scatter-brainedness and his trumpet- playing to Billy Olsen. XX. Joyce Hinson can trace her ancestry to Pocahontas; she leaves this remarkable line-up to Frances Privette. Pdge Twentj-jour
