PHUPHEEY UF THE CLASS UP 48 Whenever some class graduates from any school someone always wants to know what wtll become of hts classmates We have here at De La Salle a magtc ptnball machtne whtch ts legal that forecasts the future of our tllus trtous graduates Lets see what happens We pull back the lever of our machtne and let Hy a ball whtch goes up the slot and htts the first ptn whtch ltghts up jack Carolan Good old J C ts the horse s best frtend He now owns a stable whtch he calls home of horses all of whtch pull yunk carts and mtlk wagons Jack ts a good breeder of horses but does ltttle breathtng whtle worktng Next the ball bounces off the cushton marked Gtllen Ken was referred to tn one of the coptes of the Record as Golden votced Kenny I hts bustness he sttll uses hts votce to promote the sale of fish at the Fulton Ftsh Market There ts a dull ltght as the ball strtkes another ptn No wonder tt ts the name of Ed Donnelly that ts tnscrtbed on tt I came upon htm one day tn 1967 weartng a candle on hts head because someone called htm ltght headed Now Ed has bought up all the salt water tn the world and ts renttng tt to the beaches for swtmmtng purposes joe Btssell ts ltt up next joe always loved untforms thats why he jotned the Nattonal Guard Wtth every advance tn rank he got a new untform He was so far advanced that for falltng asleep at hts post one day the army got htm a spectal untform wtth strtpes all around and P W marked on the back The ball caroons off the ptn wtth Ben Man daros name on tt Ben was always a btg gun at D L S and, tf you wtll pardon the expresston played the accordtan Ltttle ts known of Ben the tub where he made hts cheese and was never heard of agatn As the ball thunders down the machtne tt ts knocked for a loop as tt htts the ptn of Alessto Matera He was the ptcture taktng gentus of 4A tn hts prtme but was never sued by us for defamation of character but we could have a case In fact we could have two cases, one a case agatnst Tess and the other a case of brew for 4A The only way he makes money ts by selltng the negattves for sttnk bombs Joe Smtth opened an anttque shop at the age of 99 but soon closed because he was the oldest thtng tn the shop He now has a job of holdtng up the Brooklyn Brtdge but dont tell the cops As the word Spumont ltghts up on a ptn tt can only mean Larry Marchtony He has revoluttontzed the tce cream lndustry by getttng tt dtrect from the cows The only trouble ts where can you put the money? George Kreeses ltght goes on next Last we heard of George he was wrtttng a Chemtstry book for tdtots He ts sendtng me hts first copy personally autographed George got loose tn the lab one day when tt was on the first floor now the lab ts on the top floor and we finally got a gym james OHara the machtne tells us grew up to be publtc enemy No 1 unttl he was told by the men tn whtte coats not to around put ttng hts ptcture on Post Offtce walls All ktddtng astde James was made a general tn the Nattonal Guard a general nutsance Another james ltghts up james Hannon jtm got a job tn a bank and probably would have been prestdent and rtchest man tn the world but he qutt when he had to brtng back the trtnkets he had taken home The trtnkets happened to be 15 mtllton dollar btlls whtch he thought were no good because all of them had the same ptcture on them When Hannon ltghts up Ronald Podesta ltghts up rtght after htm The two of them are ltke one but when they only put one ntckel tn the subway slot thats gotng too far A long ttme ago Ron fell asleep at the beach and was eventually washed out to sea and across the ocean to Russta When he awoke the people were talktng tn Russtan so thtnktng the Untted States was tnvaded he ran to the nearest recrutt tng office and ts now a part of the five year plan Charlte Pou ts another magnate accordtng to our machtne Recently he astounded the world by buytng every cane tn the vsorld for hts sugar factory The only thtng wrong was tnstead of buytng sugar cane he bought walktng canes Oh well' have a ntce trtp The ball rolls along unttl tt htts Ken Hughey s ptn Ken used to work for the under ground but was ftred and accused of betng a spy when he lost the subway he operated for the Seventh Avenue Transtt Co between 72nd and 73rd Sts It seems he worked for the Thtrd Avenue El Gerald Harwood brtngs a happy note when he ts ltt Gerry the man of btg words and a frame to match had a problem and so went to Mr Anthony Seetng a large audtence he forgot hts problem and dtd a scene from Macbeth before anyone got wtse He was thrown off the atr but not before Mr Anthony solved Mac beth s problem The ball htts Edward Kraus ptn and so another forecast Ed, tn my optnton had one of the greatest bratns that we ever graduated from DLS He would have gone far tf he graduated the same year hts bratn dtd Ramon joseph ts a senator now the machtne states Recently he debated tn congress the btll about baby Sltters rtghts The old btll satd that they must stt wtth babtes unttl they are asleep but joe clatms tt ts too crowded for both of them tn the crtb Hts colleagues say both the btll and the baby wtll be changed The machtne says that James Broedell could have become a great lawyer tf he had only gone to the rtght bar to take hts examtnattons From what I hear jtms sttll at the wrong bar but sttll gotng strong The ball strtkes the ltght of Tom Kenny who ts not concetted but tn 1946 protested vtolently because Rosaltnd Russell played the lead tn Stster Kenny He ts now on the moon work tng at Moonogram Stqdtos He ts dtrector pro ducer and cast of the new verston of Stster Kenny jack Doolan ts another dtsttngutshed graduate who ts coyly cornertng the market tn Denttstry He has bought every comb he could find tn order to sell the teeth He says Now Mtrtam can go around wtthout ustng Irtum The ball momentartly stops at the ptn of Robert Wtlltamson Whtle at DLS Bob was an outstandtng runner Today he ts sttll runntng It seems he forgot to turn tn hts track sutt when he was told and now they are after htm No matter how fast he goes he wtll never replace the automobtle The ball, whtch 15 ttred from rolltng strtkes the ptn of Robert Whealan Back tn 1959 Bob dectded New jersey had nothtng to offer htm so he came to New York to make some money The only trouble was Bobs was not as good as the money made by the treasury so he ts havtng a vacatton up the rtver courtesy of the government 1948 37 9 , I, g . . . , i . g , ' , 1 I v A y I . . . , . . .
