REVIEWS OF RECENT INTERVIEWS Assignment: Look over, interview and write up some of the outstanding members of the January '32 Class of Grant High School. ■ Well, now here is an assignment I don’t mind. It is always interesting to interview a celebrity. ■ I picked on JACK PATRICK first. He is president of the Class, and an outstanding one too. But I understand he was president of his grammar school class also. They must believe in the divine right of presidents here at Grant. Well, Mr. Patrick, will you tell me about your class? Do you find it difficult to head successfully such a group of students? ■ Oh, no, it's the easiest thing in the world. You know, I think our class must be remarkably able. I haven't had the slightest trouble in putting anything across. I just appoint the committees, and leave it up to them. Every committee has done more than its share, and has proved to be very dependable. ■ Do you think you'd rather be president of high school Seniors than of a grammar school graduating class? ■ There's no comparison. In grammar school the teachers did everything — here the students have their own organization. But the faculty has been very kind to us, and helped us in every possible way. They have helped make our class one of the best ever to graduate from Grant, or so I think. ■ And then I accosted JIM LUDLAM in his lair, to find him surrounded by piles of pennies, nickels, quarters, and shiny, bright dollars. There came a faint muttering of seven million, eight million, ten million, and I knew that Jim was somewhere in the immediate vicinity. Mr. Ludlam is head of the banking system at Grant; and Miss Young, the faculty adviser for banking, says that Jim is her joy and light. 'MMM, nice. Oh! Mr. Ludlam, when you finish negotiating that loan with those two nickels, would you tell me how, and if, the present depression has hit Grant's banking system? ■ Well, the number of pennies has increased greatly. If all the pennies were placed end to end, they would go around Grant High three and one-half times, and maybe there would be a few left over for the Bowl. But the depression, or panic as it has now become, has hit our banking. The graphs have gone down, compared to last year's, though some rooms have kept up a good average. But if it doesn't get any worse, I think we shall be able to stand the strain. I only hope that some day Grant will have a trust fund of pennies for those who forget their money on banking day. You never can tell, perhaps such a thing will come to be — but there would probably be more cases of absentmindedness then than there are now. ■ And next is JEAN BURNETT. I understand Jean has practically made a record of something or other for representing the students of Grant and of her class. She has a remarkable ability for leadership, and a faculty for making and keeping friends. I wonder if she would tell me what office she enjoyed the most during her school career. Would you, Jean?
