The Senior Celebs QN hot summer days like this, they come dashing down the pathway, peeling off their overalls and sneakers as they run forward to the comfort of the old swimming hole. The afternoon is heavy, the bees lie sleepily on the bosoms of motionless flowers, and here our senior celebrities dangle their toes in the soothing water, grab for fleeting bullfrogs, and playfully drown each other. Then suddenly the foreign tread of your gloomy reporters freights the sullen breeze. Twenty hard heads disappear modestly under the waters of the creek. But who is this twenty-first, this swarthy youth with a moustache like a pencil stroke gone wrong, this valiant shepherd who rushes manfully to protect the gang's clothing? Ah! It is Joe Teperman, class president and most popular senior, the first defender of the holy Triangle Party. Joe snaps his suspenders, shifts his hickory gum to the starboard side of his jaw, and whistles twice over his shoulder. Your reporters peer around anxiously. - A head pops out of the liquid fastness of the swimming hole: Jerry Rumaner, henchman of the president and vice-president in his own right. Jerry dashes to the nearest spruce tree, pulls his clothes from a limb, and fumbles ener- getically in his breeches pocket. Your reporters look longingly at the path behind. Has he a gun, or- There! lt's an Ingersoll watch! Well, pipes Jerry, you weren't supposed to' be here any particular time, but I guess you're late. And thus Jerry proves-as who shouldn't on Squad B?-that the best kind of pop is Pop Freynick. The ear-splitting clatter of Jerry's ticking watch has aroused from the bottom of the friendly creek a dazzling golden vision which proves to be Omcer Dave Glasser's only dome, But the face of one of your reporters is too familiar to Dave, who invented that agonizing tale, De Wit of Clinton, and he soon falls back into the old swimming hole. NVary and well-trained though their eyes may be, your reporters cannot make out the features of a swift-stepping figure that blazes past them in nude glory toward the propriety of a great oak tree. But then a familiar face peers from behind two and a half acorns: Morty'Silverman, captain of the relay team that won the championship of the United States. Morty is about to explain his great success in terms of heredity Chis uncle always had runs in his stockingsj when Administrator Vincent O'Connor steps to the allegorical bar, officiating in this sylvan glade as class rabbi, chief drummer in the orchestra and band, and drummer-up of G. O. trade. And now they hop from the creek in bunches. VVait1 Three handsome athletes drip water onto the notes of the reporters: Jerry Weiss, the organizer, Lloyd Hirschhorn, varsity fullback, and Fred Holz, who Holz his own on ,.1f.y1s.4yLse.41,f1vfa-efflifeilfimfiifei-.nws.nws,41y-s ZOEEQ- TheCL1N'roN1AN
