Prayer for Peace I thank Thee, Lord, for all I own, A happy home, a land that's free. And all I ask is strength to bear The strife across the sea. I've felt no part of war's black hell, I have experienced no pain, But oh, for those who fight and fall Dear Lord, let Peace again soon reign. Irma Klas '46 Dreaming of May I dream of May, with singing birds and flowers And all its beauty rare, and cooling showers. For through the winters' dark, drab, dreary days We look ahead to May with sunshine's rays Upon the grass that glistens with the dew, 'Neath early morning skies of bluish hue. I dream of inlets, streams and shallow brooks Where beavers build their dams and cozy nooks, The grassy hills, the meadows and the plains, These are the spots where Mother Nature reigns. This is a month of joy and merriment Where every person's heart should be content. And though it is but three short months away I still can dream and wish it now were May.

lass Brnpbenp The Year: 1976. The Place: Ed's Restaurant, owned and operated by Edward Arthur Goff Jr. located at Hollywood and Vine. l Ed is at-:present busily engaged in preparing one of his well-known delicacies Hamlets and Eggs, when who should walk in but Rudolph Anthony Hazuka, sales: man for the Kick-a-poo Drug Co. Inc. Say, aren't you Eddie Goff? he blundered. Yes, and who might you be? he queried. Don't you remember Rudy Hazuka? Well, I'll be darned! How'd you recognize me? Oh, by the proportions, I guess. What do you hear about the mob and Mrs. Ely? Well, I hear Mrs. Ely resigned a year after we left and she is now raising a fine herd of goats, at the ripe old age of 81. Gee, we didn't get her goat that much, or did we? Where is Goldie, Ray and 'Nevada?' Well, Goldie is an executive of the Espaniole Rubber Company and is mar- ried to a Spanish senorita. He bounces up once in awhile for a visit. And Ray, after 20 successful seasons in baseball, is now manager of the Brooklyn Yankees. He's married and has a family, more or less of bambinos. What about 'Nevada?' He's writing jokes for Bob Hope, who broadcasts from his bed. His jokes are killers! They always were. What do you hear from the girls? Well, Daisy is running a beauty salon on Broadway. She specializes in perma- nent waves, and has reached the top. Libby is an interior decorator for somebody we don't know-it's an inside job. Ethel is a stenographer for the gas company of the same name. I always knew they'd come out O.K. How's business, Ed? The chickens don't kick. What about a ham on rye? One pigskin with sideboards, Umbriago! Oh, where's Nib these days? Oh, him! He is short circuiting the works for General Electric. 'Where is Charlie? He's a textile magnate in Deep River. In the under world, they call him The Face wit da Lace. Fred is living in Little Peoria. He is the artist for the Peoria Gazette and the news critic for the 'Peek.' He hangs around now and then, and drops in for a 'Look.' I see Elinor finally got her man. 14
