Other bequests on the team are pitching ability to Der- rick Dunn from Charles QChuckJ Richartz, and fielding to Phil Dorner from Marty Herbst. Barbara Davis bequeaths her sparkling per- sonality to Jeanne Champion. Ann Van Dyke bestows her loud guffaw on Bob Bailey. Hee haw. The Cartooning ability of VVillard Conley is left to Rosalind Murray. Bill Spragins endows Sharon Moody with his enormous popularity. LCOIl211'Cl B. Monheimer, that sparkling A9 who is always ready to get up and go, leaves his fine ability to do nothing to Jack XlV211'1'C11. Elizabeth Hartley pauses gracefully after hn- ishing a hgure eight to bequeath her ice skates to Georgia Shattuck, who can be seen on the other side of the ice doing a Charlotte Stop. Jim Flemming leaves his excelling sportsman- ship to any B9 worthy of it. To any B9 good enough to take it, Jim Neville bequeaths the stage of the A9 homeroom.

It's too bad, or is it, that there is no one to step into the shoes of that illustrious trio known as Kautz, McClair and Simon. We wonder. Speaking of shoes, Bob McFall gladly leaves his shoes to any B9 able to get in them without using a life preservcr. The super-magnificent athletic skill of the Gibney sisters, Jackie and Speedy, is left to Mary CButchj Fandel and Jean Caprine.

THE A9 CLASS-TWELVE YEARS HENCE By MARION HENRY As I stepped gay with anticipation from my cab in front of the Grand Theatre, ablaze with lights on its first premiere night, I stood trans- hxed at what a beautiful sight lay before me. Actors and actresses many, and personages of renown could be seen clotting the foyer. As I stood thinking over my school days and remembering never-to-be-forgotten faces that were stamped on my memory, I beheld a tall young man whose face and manner seemed' somehow familiar, endeavoring to hold back masses of expectant autograph seekers and ferociously waving a policeman's club at a mis- behaving youngster. In an instant his name flashed across my mind . . . I-Iarrison Lobdell . . . and all dressed up in a policeman's uniform. just recovering from this shock my attention was caught by a handsome blond gentleman posi- tively surrounded by female admirers. None other than Jerry McClair, realizing his ambition of a retired fplayboy. His butler, Bob McFall, was wildly running to and fro searching for Mr. McClair's S1000 hat which had been lost in the shuffle. - He was being closely watched for further de- velopments by the prominent brain specialist, Miss Mary Lou McVey, who was also keeping and eye on the professional football hero, Bob Ridgeway. Mr. Ridgeway was vainly trying to kick a held goal, using his left shoe for the ball. Between the two of them Miss McVey was hav- ing a hard time iiguring out which was the more mentally deficient. - Roma Merryman, the most noted aviatrix of the year, was off in a corner discussing the newest types of planes to Doctors Bob Berkeley and Elizabeth I-Iartley, the latter a dentist. just as Mr. Ridgeway completed his held goal over the top of a passing auto. the winner of the recent six-day-bike-race, Mary Levengood, pedaled' up to the crowd onher newest bicycle invention, lacking handlebars and run with electricity. Nearby, a group of sport enthusiasts stood listening to Coach of Athletics at U.C.L.A., Marty Herbst, and the recent Olympic swimmer, Rose Coffin. Ed Meyer was there, too, swinging a new type baseball bat made of rubber, guar- anteed not to knock the catcher out. Also causing a commotion was the world fa- mous I-Iindu snake charmer,VVillard Conley, who was blissfully standing talking to Misses Jeanne I-Iowden and Ma1'i1yn Dunton C Hl1UClO1T1,S stand- ins for Norma Shearer and Alice Faye, respec- tivelyj, while the snakes wound around his neck. Ruth Baker, talented cartoonist, strolled up and immediately uttered a loud gutfaw when she spied Mr. Conley and his snakes. The multi-millionaire, Bob Brown, stood near- by, completely spellbound by Miss Betty Ver- steeg's Swiss yodeling. To one side was Miss Marilyn Manatt Csecretly Mrs. B. BJ who was getting some advice from Advice to the Love- lorn Betts VVilson, on how to hold your man. QLooks like Miss Manatt doesn't need much coachingj Suddenly a death-like silence spread over the crowd as a lovely car with a chauffeur drove up in front of the theatre. Looking closely I spied a number of noted actresses stepping from the car. Simply dripping with orchids and ermine, Maryly Goodwin was ushered into the theatre, followed by Misses Barbara Nicols and Barbara Davis, two of iilmdom's most promising actresses. Miss Mildred Jones was giving a lecture on how to make biscuits fluffy to Mr. jim Flem- ming, noted engineer, when up walked Messrs. jim Neville, Gordon Van Cleave, and George VVestern, prominent lawyers, who go by the name of Neville. Van Cleave and VVestern, Inc. As the crowd began to file into the theatre for the awaited production of She Loved But Once, starring Maryly Goodwin, I hastily put away my notes and pencil and proceeded to my seat, to enjoy my most thrilling premiere. - AQ CLASS MARQUEE' Thanks for the Memories -VV hen A9's leave IB.
