OUR FIRST GRADE PRIMER-Continued LESSON TWO See the bum? ' Yes. p Why is he a bum? Because he bums things from other people. I don't do that. Why should he? It is beyond your understanding. But I really want to know. Well, you remember the Senior in Lesson One? Yes, he was going to rule the world. He finally got a job counting people seeking relief. Why do people need relief? Because they lost all their money in the last Hood. I get it-flood-relief. No, more relief and fewer floods. What does he do now that he got promoted to a bum? He just travels and travels. Where does he go? In the direction of the crowd. What will he see when he gets there? The filthy streets of another burg. But why does he like to visit smelly places? Because the artist so truthfully pictured him as starting at the bottom and rising to the top. But he didn't rise to the top. Exceptions to every rule--Class dismissed. MODERN MODE A hundred years ago today With wilderness here, With powder in his gun, the man Went hunting for the deer. But now the sport is somewhat changed, And on the ultra-modern plan, With powder on her cheeks, the dear Goes out to get her man. l25l

OUR FIRST GRADE 'PRIMER LESSON. ONE Who is that? That is a Senior. What is a Senior? - He is a nitwit who thinks the world is waiting for him to graduate. Why does he think that? Because some dizzy artist pictured a graduate holding the destiny of the world in his hands. , Will he run the world by himself? He who thinketh he will, won't. Why does he wear that silly-looking cap? 'Cause the fellow named Dunce had his cap patented. But why does he look so tired? He got home in time to bring the milk in. Why did he bring the milk in? Just a daily habit he can't break. What if he dropped a bottle one morning? He'd probably get his neck broken for waking the dog. What does he have a dog for? To keep strangers from entering the house to find out when he arrives. What does he do before he brings the milk in? He generally attends some dance. What is a dance? A dance is where people hold each other and go 'round and 'round. Is that a burning stick in his mouth? No, that is a pipe with tobacco burning. I thought they fed tobacco to hogs. 'Sall the same. You should see the way he drives. What do autoists call him? A :? 8z! fcensoredj road-hog. Why does he drive like this? 'Cause he has a wee blond damsel in his possession. And what does he have her for? Class dismissed for today. E241

CLASS PROPHECY I nIIeHo! Iiovv are you, dear? I've just arrived frorn rny motor trip to the 1939 World's Fair in New York. And have I found out things! Yes, about our old friends away back in 1936 at Tech High. I'm just dying to tell you about the mar- riage of W. B. Dempsey. And really you won't believe it. Vir- ginia Boren is the wife of a traveling salesman. Poor kid! You remember Dorothy Bailey? She was voted the most pop- ular co-ed in Dlorthvvestern Ilniversity for 1939. Jessie Ruth Hare is a nurse in one of New York's hospitals. And is she crazy about her patients, Mike Burch and Jack Broom, who are recovering from bruises received when John Robinson took the Fifth Avenue and 64th Street corner fifty miles an hour! Jack Cox is delivery boy for Thomas Coyne's flower shop at 34th and Broadway. The Follies have captured the personalities of Doris Eddy, Virginia Lee Tenney, Hannah Sobel, Margaret Henderson, Viola Puckett, and Anna Frances Kos. James Shurett and Edna Earle Stovall are ably directing the Follies Standing at the corner of 76th and Broadway the stately figure of Sam Murphy is seen directing traffic. After visiting the famous gown shop of Edmona Helmke and Norma Long, I hailed a taxicab. Lo and behold! Mack Philbrick was my driver. The latest from him was that Anna Frances Metcalf was now keeping house for Andrew Smith atop the Empire State Building. Andrew is the cheapest law- yer in the city. That's the reason Casper Ramey, George Han- lon, and James Ford hired him to clear them for invading their income tax. After eating a most delicious meal in Earl Barrett's deli- catessan, prepared by the excellent chef, Harold Goodman, I strolled toward the subway. On the way I nearly ran over Elinor Falder, the self-made stylist. She said that George Ewing was now coach at Stanford University, and was quite comfortable with Alice Ellis as his sparring partner. Jack Jones and Melba Robbins are now Mr. and Mrs. They seem to be giving Mrs. Dionne some competition. Charles Spencer, Sam Wortham, Don White, and Garvin Tulley are dancers for the Hot Dog Nite Club. Lois Louviere has it on them-she is a fan dancer. Gazing overhead I realized that the tiny figures on the skyscraper washing windows were none other than the famous foursome, Clifford Hodge, A. C. Hall, James Warren, and Sydnie Smith. When I attempted to run through a red light I met my old friend, Dorothy Preston. She is now a clerk in the Pressure Salesman Co., owned and founded by Horace Haygood and Charles Paschall. She was going to see the latest picture, Cut Up, starring John Roesch and Mary Louise Starleigh. I went E261
