Mr. Chairman, Honored Guests, and Fellow Classmates We come Tonight to this class reunion from all walks of life to reminisce and to rekindle friendships in abeyance only because of long separation, and to compare our achievements of today with our dreams of yesterday Before we have a few words from the members present, let me introduce each with a short sentence or so to the many guests in the audience On my left is Dr. Donald Frank Kern, D.D.S. lDoggone, Doggone, Shucksl. Donnie seems to have attained his desired status in life. Instead of putting those big hands of his into the face of some lonely line-backer, he is putting them into the mouths of his patients, many of them former football opponents.. .lDon, would you mind taking your teeth out of my water glass, . .thanks. . .I As many of us know, it is quite the rage of the young Ivy League College Set to buy their clothes at the Brooks Brothers of the South, which, under the brilliant manag ment of its owner, Thomas lvlansbach, has risen from an obscure local store to the largest chain south of the Mason-Dixon Line. On my right then, Tom Mansbach, popu Ill ll ll l lll ll l l 4 1 4 Iarizer of the'famous tweed burlap with the moth-hole pattern You all remember Richard NeIson...Would you take oft your dark glasses, please, Richard. . ,as the small one with the dry, dry wit land one olive, pleasel so typical of the Academy graduate, who has, along with Mr. Benjamin Iviargolius, built Imperial Classics, Ltd., into the importer of foreign cars. Richard is the genius behind the locating of those valuable classics so desired by those who can aFford them... Richard, you and Boo would like to introduce the guest sitting between you?. . .Gentle- men, Mr. Olie Trask of Mad Glie's Auto Junk Yard.. .Not a business associate, iust a friend, you say?. .. We ought to tell you that, to Boo, this is only a sideline, as is real estate, the stock market, imports, exports, and so forth. At the moment, his central interest is his position as critic and reviewer for both the Surly Review of Literature and The New Joker. And we here refute the charge that there is any connection between his fine work and the recent alarming decline in American belles-Iettres. In the literary field, we also have Page Newton, B.A., IvI.A., Phd, B.V.D, R.S.V.P., V.l.P.-and holder of numerous other degrees both academic and honorary, winner of three Pulitzer Prizes and two Nobel awards in literature-just to mention o few of the many honors that have been heaped upon him. I know that you are all as glad as I am to hear that he has recently recovered from a serious back iniury. I believe that he is going to tell us of his latest book, A Literary Synopsis of the Sandscrit Seminar, 'I89 Nineteen-Eighty-Seven 3 3 i I .ll sd-'

D DORSEY FENDER l think you're wrong, sir. Tell me why you think I'm wrong? l don't know why you're wrong, but l still think you're wrong, This would be what you would probably hear if you happened to sit in on one of the Sixth Form's moth classes. The student discussing the teucher's mistakes would be Dorsey Pender, Though he may be o math genius, we are not sure, and only time will tell. But we do know that Dorsey is on oll-around boy ot the Acodemy. He hos entered into olmost every sport at School ond was o three-letter mon lost yeor. Dorsey is o very copoble boy ond shows this, not only on the athletic field, but in the excellent work he often does ocodemicolly. If he has one weakness it would be girls. We might odd thot, if there is one weolrness girls ho-fe, it is Dorsey. Dorsey is quite a mon with the ladies ond is never likely to be clone anywhere he is seen. He plons to motriculote ot the Virginia Military lnstitute, where we are sure he will compile on excellent record. -RS fi 5 of 7 auf - 5 lx -' g.x 'sF 4 r -f fi. .1 1 .l l r.:1111 t 1 49:1 'lvl' v.: ' ll 1 Z 'l,,'1l'L?.l 11 1' l SNI1- ll' ' -'wt t'l lit-:H ' r.1 lx' -:lw l r ,wi-1 with 11 ft111 1f' l ' ' s' l r' 1' l' :ml l,,' li- 1 11- ': :tl l'1i'- l l V: .t-- t 1.1-ft'r11l1,'.tz1.: llrff :H-:turf vwtnrt ll.w l. -, A-' 1' t flw' f 'ln-t 'ifi Ai- l hiv tl 1.-:T:l.'1s Jw lil-1 :Nl 11l lfwtzvt 1, l' wlfitt will 1 '1lr Cl' l11f 'fls l': 'ft :nil ' s ' 'wt 't-'t:', -' 4 t ,'- lwrl, llwf-fl, lit'-tl S 1, .1,,, ny L1 ,: , A ,.

An Address by George Orwell Powell B.C. l'm sure everyone will want to read all ten volumes, and share in his triumphant and scholarly refutation of the work of Professor Schedlespit-A Literary Synopsis of the Sandscrit Seminar, 188 B.C. And now we come to Dr. Ashby Brook Taylor, the international specialist and chief of staff in New York's largest hospital. Top man in his field, Ashby does a lot of traveling all over the world. We venture to say that no one knows more about left-ear-lobe surgery than he. At his right is Jerry Baydush, and at his right is Jerry.. .Oh, I see, you're sitting in two chairs.. .He is the Goodman, Segar, Hogan of our youth. Jerry, we wish you all the luck in the world in your defense against that pending federal suit for monopoly. After the federal government, Jerry is the largest land-owner in the United States, and we understand that Washington wants to get back Nevada and most of Northern California from Jerry's concern. Now would you six girls move away for a moment? Thanks a lot, Kim, Marilyn.. . Heres Dorsey who once set out to become an engineer when he was sidetracked by was . IIIIIIIIIIIIIII the lure of Hollywood. Today our children still storm the cinema to see Marlon Pender and his three-wheeled motorcycle. Girls, please stay back iust a moment longer. . .Next to Dorsey is a classmate who did become an engineer, Richard Byron Stone, builder of some of the most formi- dable structures to be seen across this broad land and former star of the Cleveland Browns. This very building was constructed by...Gentlemen, no panic, pleasel... Stone, Stone, Stone, and Pebble, Inc. On the other side of the table there behind the gold braid and the scrambled- egg hat. . .Really are scrambled eggs, you say?. . .is Admiral Julian Picot Cassada, recently retired as Chief of Staff. We all realize it was merely the result of a silly misunderstanding that the entire Atlantic fleet ran aground last Tuesday in Cheas- peake Bay. That about winds up everybody, except to remind you that I was recently ap- pointed to the British Court by the president to act as Chief Artificer of Verbiage for the United States. Along with the all-too-numerous duties of this office comes also the title of ambassador-at-large. And despite Scotland Yard's best efforts, I am still at large. This group of men has certainly made its impression on the world. But now I know that you want to hear a few words from each member of the Class of 1957. Mr. Chairman.. .
