-5 if if SENIOR CLASS flu which Jack Nelson writes to Robert Rosenbaum following the reunion of the class of '-13.1 l Robert Rosenbaum, D.D.S. New York City, N. Y. The Vatican June 10, 1973. cfo Pope Pius XXXIII , Rome, Italy, V. C.: My Dear Doctor Rosenbaum: I have just returned from the rbunion of R. M. A.'s class of '43-all of the boys missed you and we were sincerely sorry that your dental engagement with the Pope prevented your being in attendance, I trust that your mission was successful and that you have added one more victory to your growing reputation as the world's most renowned false-jobberf' l Now to the reunion- We met on June 6, exactly thirty years after the day of our entrance into the outside world. You were informed that we were to meet at R. M. A.-How it has changed! The campus is now composed bf 22 acres and 7 beautiful buildings. As the group, composed of 21 of our old membets, toured the campus there was not a dry eye among us, especially as we gazed at Castor and Pollux now vine covered and looking a little worse for age. The sight of these sturdy fireplaces brought back many mem- ories of gay times back in the 40's. Our reunion dinner was scheduled for 6:30 on the athletic field and it was de- cided that each returning member would briefly review the happenings of his life dur- ing the intervening 30 years since we had last met. Willis Taylor, who has succeeded Mr. Anthony as the international adviser love- lorn, served as toastmaster. He informed us that he had been married and divorced 12 times and felt that all his advice', came from first-hand experience. He has also pub- lished a handbook entitled, Lure 'Em, Love 'Em and Leave 'Em -it is considered a best seller. All speeches were to be limited to five minutes. Senator William Thomas put on a filibuster and talked for well over an hour. I gathered from his remarks that he had been most instrumental in the new federal bill which provides for the building and maintaining of an insane institution at Belle Fourche, South Dakota. The senator was succeeded by William Pearson who, rather than talking, dem- onstrated some of his popular strong ma acts which have won him an enviable bill- ing with the Bingling Brothers One Ring Circus. In a recent poll, he was voted the man whose chin was most likely to recede. Robert Martiny held us spell-bound as he discussed inflation, deflation, and other pertinent information which he had gathered during his seven years as minister of finance in Dypsomania. Imagine how stlrprised I was to hear that he had reserved a room at the Mercer County Poor Farm -t the scene of his first financial success. Juck Bones, or as you will remember him, William Martin, credits all his suc- cess to his movie horse, Sliver, which he had ridden from Hollywood. The Honorable Stewart B. Koppel etitertained our gathering with the account of Eighteen 1
