CLASS PROP!-IECY THE YANKS have just captured their twenty-fourth pennant and world series in a row. They have shattered all records for all times. But speaking of records being shattered, reminds me that my own class, the class of '40 at Columbia Prep has shattered several records too. ' Cobb, the Englishman, saw his record for speed broken a few years after our graduation by a mere stripling, none other than Al Mickel, The car A1 used was a special job, the one and only Whiz 36, designed, assembled and repaired by our boy Wisner. Paul Allen, the scrappy skipper of the Salem Senators is going to have his try at the big leagues next year. He is a little old but you remember he waited until his last year to report for baseball at the Preps. He cracked out sixty-seven homers this past year and is signing testimonials for Sensation cigarettes. Paul says, 'It isn't so hard on the wind when I hit homers, because thenl take my time going around the bases. Lacey is back with the Beavers after ten years in big time baseball and several Port- land sports writers, including our own Paul Dueber, liken him to Dudley Lee, a former Portland shortstop. Emmett Doherty has just leased Yellowstone National Park as summer graze land for his sheep. Herb Faber, King of the Sax, has his own band and is making -quite a name playing at Hotel Astoria. He has created a new and delightful rhythm known as Fogging through with Fabef' John Carroll is now editor of the Oregonian and has equipped all his carriers with motor bikes. It was through his untiring writing that Oregon passed a state law fora- bidding schools to take up before nine-thirty A. M. Governor Shellworth of Oregon has just appointed Bob Major as head of all W. P. A. workers in the state. He had previously appointed Bernie Grimm as Safety Director and Bernie's first move was to make it compulsory for all cars to be equipped with Benz- springs. Fritz Hansen of Hansen Transfer has successfully sponsored a baseball team in the Spaulding League. This is his twenty-first try for a winning team. But Hansen always was a plugger and we are glad to see him succeed. George HD. A. Charters is now mayor of Camas and head of the paper mills there. He has just hired Bob Carter to coach the town basketball team. Up until this time Bob has been assistant to Coach', Fiene at Columbia Prep. Joe Mozena still holds the tennis crown of the U. S. and has his name on the special Monkey Ward's tennis racket. Ed Sinclair has just replaced Petty on one of the most famous magazines. Curley Pienovi is about to begin his sixth year with the Cleveland Rams, a pro- fessional football team that won its first championship. Curley is the pride of Cleve- land and has been voted most popular city athlete by Mayor Fellerl and his council. Dave Callahan has just completed his third film this year for M. G. M. Who ever thought that Sails would one day be America's great lover. Gordy Carlson has finally given up trying to get more than twenty-five miles per hour out of his model T. He is now midget racing at Jantzen Beach. The Portland Clinic, most famous in the world now, is under the capable care of Doc. Carlin. One of his foremost assistants is Doc Weiby the chiropodist. Bob Marson is still teaching trigonometry at Columbia Prep. Yes, indeed, the class of '40 has done itself proud. We are looking forward to our silver reunion to be held in 1965. We'll be seeing you then,
