Harold Benson, having tired of his many feminine admirers, has organized a large and peaceful Bachelors' Club in New York. Among the regular members and patrons of the club are Albert Dobbins, candidate for the presidency from the Arguers' Party, Charles Morris and joe Mac Wilson, Mr. Dobbins' campaign mana- gers, Doyle Thomas, retired speed demon, Albert Davis, holder of the World's Heavy- weight Championship, Clifton Moor, disdainer of women, Lewe Sessions, champion long distance runner, Bill Manning, football hero, Cordon Hawkins, grower of better vegetables, Earl Benson, ambassador from the United States to France, limmie Bar- field, famous scientist, Clifton Farmer, astronomer who discovered a new planet, Thomas Austin, African explorer, and j. C. Crook, owner of a large dairy Allene Guess, Carrie Lee Marler, and Dorothy Echols have set up a matrimonial bureau directly across the street from the Benson Bachelor Club. The agency has a triple plan of operation: Miss Guess attracts them, Miss Marler talks them into the venture, and Miss Echols signs them up. M. l-l. S. sent several good products from the class of '36 into the field of higher education in various lines. Stella Mae'Chandler, first honor graduate of '36, is now a renowned music teacher whose chief pupil is Cordelia Brumby. Although Miss Chandler is an excellent teacher, she seems unable to present a recital in which Miss Brumby does not forget her piece. Sara l-lamby is known as the best woman basket- ball coach in the United States. Barbara l-loward is a Spanish teacher in a famous womans' college and Margaret Willis is the dean of the same college. Lillian Sams and lrene Morgan are competent trained nurses, each being the head nurse at a large hospital. At this point I quit copying the speech, as my fate was related last, and it is not particularly important to anyone but me. l enjoy very much the rest of the Class Day Exercises and rather regretfully board the train to return to my paper which will have to pursue its course without the story of the seedless watermelon.
