BOLTS AND NUTS The Class of 47 chose for their annual play, Bolts and Nuts, by Jay Tobias. After much hard and faithful work, the Seniors presented their play before a capacity audience on the two consecutive evenings, November 21 and 22. The story took place in the dismal, old mansion which Rebecca Bolt had inherited from her brother. Because Miss Bolt s hobby was psychoanalysis, she turned the old house into a sanitarium. After the patients had arrived, they lost no time in starting to search for the hidden money of Benjamin Bolt, Do you remember the amazing situations this brought about I and Just before the last curtain went down how everything turned out the way we hoped it would?

— T 1 THE TROJAN 12. TZI 1 R n TZI T T TZ I- T T LI 1 JILL I Here we have a map of the Air Trail and Airports of the earth dated twenty years from now. An opportune find since our class expects of us these wise words of foretelling; let us spread it out here and see if we can find the landing place of everyone of the thirty-one seniors who are soon to take off on this flight out into the world. Here is the air trail that LLOYD KROUL took. Rather erratic, as is Lloyd s pitching , but he made a smooth landing right is the middle of a dairy farm in Wisconsin on which he is still living happily; and here is the trail that Betty SAPFORD made, she crashed right into a beauty shop on Fifth Avenue, gotouthar comb and curlers, and went to work. She now owns not only that beauty shop but a whole string of them from coast to coast--allwith a clientele of our very best people. We see that OPAL SMITH took over the Job of Mr. Rowland who had been the instructor of the Homer High School Band the past twenty years. CHESTER YOST? Where is he? Bud, who was to win fame with the fastest flight around the world-------must be somewhere away off----well, look at this I------Bud never got any farther than across the street, where he gives cut-rate haircuts. He has brushed up on his old gift of conversation. JOHN AND JOAN SMITH?-----Sure enough, made the first twin flight across the Atlantic and when they stepped from their twin planes in Amsterdam, the whole world took them to its fickle heart as its latest hero and heroine. We hear that Doctor ROYCE ADAMS cured a girl who hiccoughed fifty-nine days. He told her one of his favorite mystery stories. Where did MARGARET KING land? here she is I And here is DOROTHY CHAMBERLAIN. They must have taken back the inseparableness from Beulah and Bertha, for here they are gossiping over the back fence------married, of course, to a pair of bro- thers by the name of KENKETO AND VERNON KEMPTON. Oh, here is LOIS GRIDLEY teaching in the University of Michigan. Here are the trails of NORMAN MAUER, PAULINE MILLER, AND LAWRENCE DENSMORE crossing and recrossing. As they say, not words but deeds are to be their watchword after commencement--and so it appears. Norman invented agadget for controlling weather for fliers. Lawrence is president of the Airways Company that uses Norman’s invention, and he is responsible for the great fleets of mammoth passenger planes which go anywhere in the world. Pauline is a stewardess on one of Norman’s airliners and vouches for the workability of the Norman Weathermaker. We hear that umpire BILL AKINS is in the hospital from the effects of pop bottles he met while trying to umpire a big league ball game. JOANNE LEE landed in Washington D. C., to reform the world through all the ambassadors thereof and thereat, but it appears, Jo finally consented to constrain her reforming zeal to but one--the ambassador from Sweden who is big, blond, and VERY personable. Oh well, if the world loses in Joanne an A-l reformer, the white-haired boy from abroad gained a first-class wife. MADELINE HOLBROOK found a body in a morgue identified as MARIAN ESTELLE. Foul play is suspected as the victim carried a large sum of money. It seem after all CLARENCE WILSON couldn’t get away from the collecting mania and landed himself a Job collecting taxes. Where are you, FRANCIS AKINS? Where is good old generous Francis who gave his old watch away before he'd gotten a new one. Here you are-------squinting down at every courthouse you fly over to see tl e time of day, as you fly across the continent. I hear your company considers you their super-modem salesman. CHARLOTTE WESTBROOK AND BEVERLY EASTON are running a hamburger shop in the alum district of Chicago.
