Foreword The preparation of a Year Book is both interesting and trying, and it is impossible to produce a volume that will meet with the approval of all the parties concerned. We have, nevertheless, put forth all possible effort in editing a book that will be truly representative of the Momence Community High School and reveal in a way the high school activities during the 1922-23 school year. No individual or organization has been mentioned or omitted in a spirit of malice and spite. We sincerely hope that the MONESSE 1923 will serve as a worthy record of the year’s events and inspire our under classmen with an ambition for the realization of a greater M. C. H. S.

Fm sure you’ve all heard of our Superintendent With qualifications so high and resplendent; With a voice like the sound of the murmuring breeze. It quaileth the heart and trembleth the knees. In discipline strong, his tall giant like form Brings sinners to justice, shields virtue from harm. Here’s to Witty the wise who maketh good pies, But that is not all by a half She can sew, she can bake, and you’ve tasted her cake, I’m so full that I hardly can laugh. And now for the “King of the Laboratory,” He also lives in the upper-most story. Kilburne, the athletic coach of the school, And as you all know he tries hard to keep cool. Miss Miller comes next with her wars and her dates, But they’re all forgotten when out on her skates; Wt games or at parties sh§ laughs all the while, But inside her class room she cracks not a smile. But there is Schmitt with his musical lore, He sings with a voice which the girls all adore; And really you cannot blame them a bit, For all of us like much to listen to it. Our teacher in English to toast we’d not fail, She’s a neighboring Hoosier, her name is Miss Dale; She’s taught us the stories of Hawthorne and Poe, From Captain John Smith down to Henry Thor eau. Miss Dahlquist, the teacher of French, I’ll admit In Algebra also is not a misfit; With French conjugation and x, y’s and z’s Her pupils are always kept busy as bees. Miss Melby, instructor of Latin, we’d name, Her pupils in Caesar have always won fame; Though in Latin alone her students excel, In English the most of them do very well. “I can’t even write about the Faculty.”—Dewey Line. 12 The Mon esse As we look o’er the roll, we next come to Miss Hardy, As instructor of business she’s not the least tardy; She teaches Type-writing, Shorthand and Bookkeeping, And woe to the student whom she catches sleeping. “Oh! What Webb we often weave when first we practice to deceive!” So thot Arthur, Bill and Clyde as to the office they are hied, The Music teacher on their trail, And none there to go their bail. And now we’ll descend to the lower domain, Where only in this place does Liberty reign; ’Mid devices electric, and saws buzzing ’round, He produces the best that can ever be found. Then there’s to our teacher of Ag. Hungerford, Quite high in the ranks of the singers he’s scored; Of course as to eats he has plenty in store, But the queer thing about it, he always wants Moore. So Here’s to the Faculty, long may you thrive To punish the pranks which your pupils contrive. As now I’ve completed my effort to toast you, You’ll have to admit that I did not once roast you. “All my teachers love me.”—Arthur Nusbaum. The Monesse 13 Monesse 1923 Staff Hallie-M. Kennedy. . .

Phebe Carr, our illustrious class president, who had made good in writing plays for the stage, had written a small play which was to be acted out in the high school auditorium. So Wednesday evening, June 6, 1953, found me in Momence which was now sl thriving little city. I hurried to the auditorium and found Phebe talking to the actors. Barbara King, the creator of Paris gowns, had given up a vacation at Deauville, France, in order to design the gowns for the heroine, and Lulu Jones her chum, who had fallen heir to a large sum of money, was with her. Esther Nelson, the poet, was reciting love lyrics to Elroy Sergeant, who was be¬ moaning the fact that he had had to leave his little red haired wife at home. Merle Gardner, the Salvation Army worker, and Theresa Wheeler were talking over “ old times,” while Theresa was taking notes for the Chicago Tribune. “Abe” Martin was giving the girls an invitation to buy at his exclusive “Ladies’- Ready-to-Wear-Shop” on Fifth Avenue, New York. Viola Burns was explaining to Hilma Johnson how to make tea as she was man¬ aging a Tea House in Kankakee while Hilma was giving out “Beauty Hints” as she had been recently chosen as “The Most Beautiful Blonde in America.” Finally after everybody had said “Hello” to everybody else, the curtain went up and all was quiet. The scene opened with the villain, who was represented by Austin Truitt? carry¬ ing away the heroine, Anna Pinsak, while the hero, Edmond Hess, was frantically fol¬ lowing in pursuit. After many escapades the heroine was safe in the hero’s arms. The curtain fell with much applause, after which a short program was given. Anna Muehleisen gave a ballet dance. She had studied under the Russian dancer Pavlowa. Next came a solo by Grace Hardy, who is claimed to rival Galli-CureL She was accompanied on the piano by Janet Smith, who has played before many distinguished audiences. She wore a rope of pearls, which was a gift from the King of Portugal. John Butterfield explained his invention on “Noiseless Sneezes” and “Bill” Julian who is a dancing master, demonstrated the latest steps. John Vandenberg gave a speech on “Why I Took up Law.” His speech revealed to us that he had done so because of a disappointed love affair. After this there was a general reception. “Mitch” arrived late with his wife, who was a little Junior blonde in our high school days. Clyde Bishop was trying to influence Gladys DuMontelle to buy vegetables which his Agricultural Class had raised. Gladys was a toe dancer and a favorite with everybody. Ed Franklin drew several cartoons which explains why Bud Fisher is looking for a job. Anna Pinsak, the heroine in the play, was an actress and greatly resembled “America’s Sweetheart.” Finally Julie Paradis, the artist from Greenwich Village, announced the banquet would be served whereby everybody scrambled and left the Auditorium echoing their fame! LEILA INSLEE. “Oh, I wish I was tall.”-—Helen Ward. 22 The Monesse.

The Days of Captivity The day was hot and sultry. Heavy black clouds hung threateningly over the horizon. A storm, which was gathering, seemed to concentrate around the old stone castle. Within the castle walls four captives, who had spent many long years in bond¬ age, were tremb lingly awaiting the decision of the terrible judge who was to decide their fate. Some were pale and emanciaJtel, while others seemed to be thriving. They had spent the previous night in agony, tossing to and fro on the bed. The atmosphere was too sultry for them to sleep; but would the weather cause these victims to murmur, to groan and to quiver continually during the long dreary hours of the night? No, tomorrow would be the worst of their many days in captivity. Various visions of primitive punishments loomed before the miserable beings. When they dozed, they imagined, first they were struggling with horrible monsters; then they were frantically beating the walls, of the dungeon; now they were being lashed with a strap. Trerrific sounds entered their ears as they pulled the covers over their heads. Tomorrow !The day of all days! Tomorrow they would know their fates. “Oh! Deliver us from tomorrow !” prayed one victim. But no one heard these faint trem¬ bling wails. Their unmerciful captor demanded their presence the next morning in the dark dungeon. How they dreaded to face this great an powerful man. His name alone was a terror to all his prisoners; his presence made them turn pale and tremble. With daylight came more mental agony. Their torture increased as they stood along the dungeon wall. Why didn’t the giant come to devour them? Why didn’t he put them out of their misery? The sky grew darker; the thunder began to roll; then the rain came down in torrents. Each time the lightning flashed the unhappy victims quivered as if they had blows on their heads from the master. Each time the thunder rolled they thought it was his voice. The heat and dampness combined with the fear of the captives made them faint and weak. They sa id nothing to each other, but stared through the doorway into the storm. What had they done to deserve? such punishment? What crimes had they com¬ mitted to arouse the wrath of this mighty giant who held their lives in his hand? At last they heard a faint thud which was followed by others, each growing louder and clearer as they came nearer and nearer. “Oh-h have mercy and let me die!” groaned one as his alert ear caught the sound of the approaching giant. The others straightened up, not from added “Sometimes I like ’em and then again T chJm’V know !’’—Mr. Hungerford. 35 The Monesse. strength, but merely from an unconscious reaction of the muscles. A cold perspir¬ ation burst forth; their faces whitened to a sickly pallor; their hands and feet seemed numb; and their knees smote together. The terrifying sound of the footsteps grew louder and louder until the big door, blown shut, flew open from mighty shove and closed again with a LOUD bang. The giant quickly strode to his table and slowly unlocked some boxes. How quiet it was! No, it was not so quiet because the rain made considerable noise as it beat against the walls of the old castle, but their sense of hearing had been so dulled by their terror, they could scarcely hear. Why didn’t he speak? Had he forgotten that they were to come to him that morning? Oh! if they only hadn’t come. The four trembling captives were not held in suspense very long, for suddenly the giant turned fiercely upon them and roared, “I’m through. I’m through with you! You’re fine looking specimens—the biggest ones I have.” Wh at would he do next? Oh, mercy. Two of the captives could stand no more; they began to cry as if their hearts would break. “I’m through,” again roared the giant as he beat his fist upon the table, “get to your classes, or you’ll play truant the rest of this semester.” The boys needed no further explanation. Having received their permit, they were gone—gone until the next time. “I have a little wit, but I ? m very free in using it.”—Miss Miller. The Monesse 37 Sophmore Class Alvin Cantway. .

Not even Miss Witty and Mr. Kilburne were there. This was very rare; I hung up hay hat and coat, then went into the assembly over which Miss Dale reigned. Everyone was studying diligently! Studying mind you, actually study¬ ing, and not one looked up as I entered the room, which event was very rare also. I stood for a moment as if I were petrified, and looked around the room to see if the deep silence was due to Mr. Munson’s presence. Mr. Munson was not there! Then, I happened to catch sight of a red sweater in one corner of the room. It was Miss Dale ! She was showing one of the interested pupils, Nusbaum I think, how to work an algebra problem. I wondered when I was going to wake up. I slipped noiselessly out of the room into the main assembly. Wonder of won¬ ders! There was the Grant Park brigade all studying deeply! I counted each one to make sure. Suddenly the period bell rang, and classes passed to their respective rooms. The most amazing thing was that there wasn’t a sound of shuffling feet or talking. What I missed most was the deep, stentorian voice of Julian, who passed by me without a word. His face was buried deeply in an English book in which he seemed to be interested. Then came a few pairs strolling silentty along, but looking deeply into each other’s eyes. I could make out “Doc” Carr and Virginia Adams, “Mitch” and Beulah Rasmussen, “Alec” Hess and Leila Inslee and Andrew Peterson and Ruby Gray. It seemed very strange to see everything so very quiet so I went over to the office to see how Mr. Munson was taking all this good behaviour. Of course I had to pass through the English room again but not one looked up as I passed. I was deeply puzzled at this wonderful behaviour. I opened the door, descended the three steps and walked over to Mr. Munson’s desk. He looked up and said, “What is it?” I said, “Mr. Munson, why is everything so quiet in the halls and rooms? It looked like a funeral procession when the classes passed.” “Well of all the impertinence,” came the familiar deep bass voice. “Why aren’t you in your class? Promenading around the building as if you owned it. What class do you belong in?” “English,” said I. “Come with me,” said he, grabbing me by the shoulder, and as he grabbed me, I woke up. “I wish they’d get the seats to fit a fellow.”—Roland Legg.

The Monesse 44 The Monesse. A Daily Occurrence The last bell had rung 1 five minutes ago. Mr. Munson was having an assembly. He had just finished informing one late comer that school took up at 8:45, when the front door slammed. It seemed that a minature Cox’s army was coming up the stairs. Now what is the matter?” asked Mr. Munson. The speaker for the group stepped out. He weighed about two hundred pounds and his favorite hobby was breaking seats in the assembly. “W-w-well, Mr. Munson, you see it was this way. The man that runs the bus had to play two or three games of pool before he left Grant Park, and he was so long at it that we were late.” “Oh ! I thought that you were held up by a snowslide from the telephone wires,” said Mr. Munson sarcastically. “Well,” we will let it go this time. But where is the VanZant tribe?” “I don’t know,” answered the fat boy, “but I guess they will be here after while.” “Well, that will be all, and don’t let it happen again.” With this parting advice Mr. Munson went back to the office. Everything went well until 10 :30. Miss ' Dale was assigning the English lesson when four boys and three girls marched through the room. The largest girl com¬ menced to giggle. Miss Dale said, “Anna, when you come back I want to see you at the desk.” At these words Anna became silent. They finally reached the door and started to cross the bridge. As they reached the door, Mr. Munson glanced up. “Well, finally got here, did you?” lie asked. “What’s the trouble now?” “Flat tire,’ said one of the boys. “Got stuck,” said another. “Froze our radiator,” chimed in a third. “Couldn’t start the car,” said the fourth. “Had to wait for Nusbaum,” said the girls. “Well, I guess that the last excuse is about right,” said Mr. Munson. “Nusbaum, where were you last night?” “Home in bed,” answered Nusbaum. “But where were before you went to bed?” “I helped Ma dry the dishes,” said Nusbaum. “Well, that accounts for your over-sleeping this morning then,” said Mr. Mun¬ son. “Now go on to your classes, all of you, and don’t come in an hour and a half late again.” After faithfully promising, they departed from the office, and kept their prom¬ ise unF! the next day.

Freshman Party No. 1 The Freshies held their first party the night of November 18, 1922 in Philo HalL Under the skillful guidance of Miss Miller and Mr. Hungerford, they had a good time playing tag, streets and alleys, and other games. The following lunch was served : Cocoa, pickles, sandwiches, doughnuts, gooseberries and milk. All escaped the hos¬ pital. Sophomore Party No. 1 It was held the night of November 18, the same night as that of the Freshmen party. They all met at the school house and proceeded to Hertz’s without delay for they were out for a good time. They had a perfectly thrilling time playing such games as “Winkum Slyly” “buy and sell,” “telephone,” etc. About twelve o’clock a delicious lunch was served consisting of sandwiches, marshmallows and hot chocolate, after which they all left for home. Domestic Science Guest Dinner The Cooking Class of the High School Domestic Science Department had a guest dinner the night of February 19. There were about twenty-eight in attendance, Mr. and Mrs. Munson being the guests of honor. After attending the Kankakee Basketball game in a body, they proceeded to the high school building. An enjoyable time was spent in talking, singing and exploring the dark passageways of the building. Some of the girls told of a hair-raising es¬ capade but it was never told around the school because it might have caused some teasing. After a lunch of sandwiches, pickles, hot chocolate and fruit jello with whipped cream, all started for home. Just think, one of the girls ate six sandwiches and took three along to eat on the way home. Foot Ball Banquet - The annual football banquet was held on the night of January 19, 1923, at Park’s Restaurant. An exellent three-course dinner was served consisting of can¬ died yams, backed chicken, combination salad, hot rolls, coffee and pie. Immediately after the banquet the boys, Mr. Munson, Mr. Kilburne, Mr. Schmitt, Mr. Liberty and Mr. Hungerford proceeded to the American Legion rooms where Warren Davis was elected Captain for the coming year. During the rest of the evening they entertained themselves and had a jolly good time. Basket Ball Banquet The basket ball team was entertained on March 19, 1923, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Munson. A delicious three-course dinner was served which consisted of cocktail, salad, roast veal, mashed potatoes, coffee, ice-cream and cake. It is also said that they had nuts! After dinner they were entertained in a social manner. he Mones e 48 The Monesse. Year Book Banquet The annual Year Book Banquet was held in Philo Hall, January 27, at 6:30 P. M.

The team was a repetition of last year’s ma¬ chine. It began the season by defeating Bradley and went through the entire schedule with only one defeat, being beaten by Onarga Military Acadmy at Onarga. We de¬ feated Bradley, Morgan Park, Blue Island, Watseka, Lowell and tied Kankakee on a slippery field. The game with Bradley was a gift. Bradley did not have heavy enough men. The next game was with Lowell, who was defeated easily. We won from Morgan Park in the last few minutes of play. The game with Blue Island was a little more interesting, but we had no trouble in winning. We played Kankakee on Armistice Day in a pouring down rain, the field being so slippery that both teams had difficulty in keeping their feet. The game was very tight, neither team being able to score. Momence’s goal line was never in ral danger. Everyone had been looking forward to this game and was satisfied with the result. We won from Watseka on Thanks¬ giving in another pouring down rain. The backfield was composed of the Cantway brothers, Hess, Davis, Sherwood, M. Ward, V. Brassard, A. Ward and Carr, the regular backs being the Cantway brothers, Sherwood, Davis, Hess and M. Ward. The line was composed of Coffel, Julian and A. Cantway, ends; Wiltse and Fox tackles; J. Higgins, W. Brassard and Paradis guards and Bennison center. We will lose Clyde “Mitch” Cantway, Coffel, Julian and Hess by graduation, Elmer Cantway having quit school and gone to work. We should have a good team next year although we will feel the loss of the graduating players. We will get some material from the grade school. Capt. Elmer Cant way: Half-back. Fats played up to his usual game, always ready to carry the ball and when it was given to him was never thrown for a loss. He was a sure man on the defensive. None ever went clear through his side of the defense. Clyde Cantway: Half-back. Mitch was the star of our team again this year. We all like to see him tear down the field for a touch-down, and lie surely can tear. Say, he surely can pick the runners. He was the surest tackfer on the team. Willard Sherwood: Full-back. Shorty certainly could rip up the line. He could always be depended on for a few yards through the line. Ask him about the time he made a ninety-yard touch-down on a line plunge. Shorty will be back next year and will be one of the mainstays of the team. Edmund Hess: Quarter-back. Hess was a good steady man at the pilot posi¬ tion. He worked fine with the other backs. He handled the ball surely and ‘accurately, never fumbling, a quality every quarter-back must have. Capt.-Elect, Warren Davis : Full-back. Davie was one of our fastest men and a hard worker. He was ready to carry the ball and when they tackled him they knew it. Davis is Captain next year, and he will fill the bill. Maxwell Ward: Quarter-back. Alternated with Hess. Possessing speed, nerve and wiry physique, he was a great asset to the backfield. Ward should develop The Monesse 52 The Monesse. into one of the trickiest quarterbacks that Momence High ever possessed, and also into a dangerous “Triple threat” man. Clyde Coffel: End. Clyde was one of the best ends Momence ever had. He could grab passes from almost anywhere. He always defended his end very well and a man very seldom came around his end for very many yards. William Julian: End. All that has been said about Coffel can be said of Bill. He was a tine end and deserves very much credit for the showing of the team this year. He knew his position and played it. Bill will not be back next year. Alvin Cantway: End. Snipes was a good end and also was used to pass. He alterated with Coffel and Julian. Next year Snipes will probably get a regular berth. John Wiltse : Tackle. This was John’s first year, but he played the game like a veteran. He smashed the opponent’s line and was one of the hardest players on the team. John has two more years at M. C. H. S., and we will hear more af him. Joseph Higgins: Guard. This was Joe’s first year too, and lie certainly had the fight. He played the game hard and square. The opponents never went through Joe’s position and when they had tried it once they weren’t so anxious to try again. Warren Bennison : Center. Bennison is one of the best centers Momence has ever produced. He was a steady and accurate passer and could always be depended upon to stop our opponents coming through the line. Bennison has two more years. Wesley Brassard : Guard. Boone didn’t want to play guard but finally did and made a good one. Although he tackled ra ther high, it;always stopped them and they wa tehed for him next time. Edward Fox: Tackle. Ed was a consistent man at the tackle position. Ed also is a runner. Ask him or anyone about the way he recovered that blocked punt in the Kankakee game. Ed has two more years at M. C. H. S. Culver Paradis: Sub-guard. This was Cully’s first year of football and no previous experience. Cully was a hard worker and a clean tackier and by next year he should be a first class guard. He has one more year. Verne Brassard ;Sub Half-back. Bus didn’t get to play very much this year be¬ cause of his lack of experience. He was speedy and hit the line with a vim that beginners usually do not have. Bus has three more years and ought to be a first class back next year, Richard Hamann: Sub-guard. Bushel didn’t get to play in very many games, but he was always ready to go in. He was always out to practice and worked hard. Bushel is a Junior and has another year. Alvious Ward: Sub Half-back. Alvious could be a good player. He wouldn’t train and report for practice. Harold Price: Sub-guard. Price reported out for practice and although he didn’t get to play much stuck the whole season. In another year Price will be a good line man. Mark Hobart, Horace Carr and Elroy Sergeant came out to practice every night and worked hard but lack of experience and weight kept them from playing. Coach Kilburne certainly deserves a great deal of credit for the splendid record of the team. Without his hard work and knowledge of football the fine showing of the team would have been impossible.

After the cut was made the following men were left: Julian, Cantway, Nus- baum, Truitt, Hess, Hamann, Brown, Mussman, Park, Howard, and Ward. Hess was Captain of the team and filled the position well. Although we lost a majority of our games, I feel that we had as good a team as last year. The team was broken up the middle of the season by sickness and injuries but ended up very creditably at the District Tournament; going to the finals and being defeated by Watseka for the championship of the district. I believe that this is the first time Momence has ever made such a good showing at a District Tournament, and we feel proud that they did make such a fine showing. The team had rather a hard time getting started, but Coach Kilburne, by making some changes, soon developed a team that worked well together. We will lose Julian, Hess, Cantway and Truitt by graduation, but by the train¬ ing of some of the second string men and return of Howard, Park, Mussman, Brown, Hamann and Ward, we should have a good team next year. Coach Kilburne deserves very much credit for his patience and hard work with the team and especially when we’re losing and we hope that he will be back next year.

Captain Edmond Hess: Forward. Hess was one of the best scorers on the team. He could usually be depended upon for a good showing of points in every game. William Julian: Center. Bill was our mainstay in scoring. He was a fine cen¬ ter and very few men ever got the jump on him. Clyde Cantway: Guard. Mitch played up to his usual good form. He made the All-Star District Team at Watseka. We will miss him next year. Walter Howard: Forward. This was Howard’s first year at M. C. IT. S. Al¬ though he had had previous experience, he was a hard working floor man and a good forward. Harry Park: Forward. Park played at forward and center. He was a good floor man and worked well with his team mates. Maxwell Ward: Guard. The opposing team always had a difficult time when Max was under the basket fighting from the beginning until the whistle blew. He will be one of the best of next year’s team. He is the Captain-elect. Austin Truitt: Guard. Austin was a good guard and usually managed to cage some baskets. He co-operated nicely with his team mates. He will not be back next year. Arthur Nusbaum : Forward. Art didn’t show up so very well at the first of the season, but, after he got stared, he was one of the best players we had. Richard Hamann: Sub-guard. Dick was a hard-working (?) floor man and worked well at either guard or forward positions. Dick will be back again i ext year. Francis Brown: Sub-forward. Brown was rather small but was speedy and a good shot. He will be back next year. Harold Mussman : Sub-guard. Mussman lacked experience but in another y ear will make a good back guard. He had the fight and was always in the game. BASKETBALL SCHEDULE 1922-23 M. C. H. S. . . ......... .. ; o St. Anne .. 18 M. C. H. S. . .....12 Alumni ... ........... 19 M. C. II.

X had not ppepared my lessons, and well did I know what a torrent of wrath would descend upon me from my teachers. And no doubt I would he sent to the office before the day was over. Is it any wonder that we students hate to go to school on some days? I slowly climbed the stairway, taking my time, for, of course, the minute I en¬ tered the building I would have to study, or at least make a pretense of studying. How heart-breaking to a teacher to see an idle student! How strangely silent the building seemed! I wondered if the teachers weren’t there, because they do make so much noise! Mr. Kilburne stood in the hall-way, surrounded, as usual, by Miss Miller and the boys. Instead of the usual laughter and excitement, which always goes with our merry little history teacher, it was quiet! I stood and stared at them. Something was decidedly wrong, I thought, but they were acting perfectly natural. All were talking and laughing, but not a sound did I hear! I entered the cloak-room and listened expectantly for the usual chatter about the dance or party last night. But the same happy silence was here as was in the hall. All seemed to be talking, but it was quiet! How I wished Mr. Munson was here to see how still it was, for nothing would have pleased him more. I went into the assembly, the one place in th is school where it is never quiet. Mr. Schmitt sat at the desk reading peacefully with a happy smile on his face. He looked up occasionally to glance over the room with a satisfied smile. This was what he had been working for all year, and now he had got it. He was in the seventh heaven of bliss. I left the assembly to investigate further, for I was not acquainted with this school. I glanced into the Freshman room, and there I really got the surprise of my life. Miss Dale, that well-meaning, little person, who is so abused by her innocent little tribe of Freshmen, was actually sitting down, taking life easy. Never before have I gone in her room and not found her chasing someone where he belongs. She was so happy! How little it does take to make some people happy! As I returned to my assembly, I met Mr. Munson in the hall. Mr. Munson, that person who the students have never seen in the hall without the accompanying “get into your assembly” or “you girls look all right—get away from that mirror”—(you will note that he evidently didn’t see that the boys were crowded three deep in front of the mirror, and that the girls were merely waiting for a turn they would never get) —Mr. Munson was not saying a word—not a word! I simply stood and stared with my mouth open. Oh, I knew it was too good to be true! I had taken my seat, and was waiting for class time when: “Get your books out and get busy,” someone said, “You can sleep when you get home; and before you go home, Fd like to ee you in the office.” I wonder if dreams ever come true!
