Six feet of fun in any atmosphere — that’s Hans. Whether flunking an exam, attending a funeral, or rendering advice to the lovelorn, he exemplified humor in typical Wagnerian style.

A rabid sports fan, Johnny did a fine job as Sports Editor of the News. Quiet and sympathetic—that is how we. will always remember him. ‘‘Undeveloped Ability” is his middle name. So ' Long, Pal! It is hard to take it now After you have gone, No friends are left with me To encourage me along. I’m saying so-long, Not good-bye, It wouldn’t be right — We’ll meet again sometime, swell guy. Life’s roadway now ' s unpleasant, I cannot help but say; l loved you best I could. We’ll meet again some day. Out on the wide and tortuous plains Of life; I cannot see How I’ll get along without you, How unhappy I’ll be. I see no more your cheerful eyes, Your voice l can’t recall. But I’d rather be in hell, Cause I miss you most of all. But just for now, So-long, Pal! How long again before we meet? No matter, Pal, it’s just been swell, Those years with you were all so sweet. fflarmtljiatt [ 28 ] Uatuiarg
