As the mentor of the Back Bay Crackersf, Keane has Chuckin' Charlie Kettendorf, star broken-back, as the back-bone of his team. YVhen Keane has an urge to knit Maroon-and-Cold jerseys for his team tincidentally, he often has this urgel he hands the reins of the Crackers', over to Kallenburg, who smilingly passes, and passes, and passes, until a huge score has been rolled up . . . FOR the uCrackers, of course! XVhile endeavoring to pull aside a fine sort of net that obstructed our view, We glimpsed through its gauzy folds a beautifully equipped make-up studio, that of M.C.M., we believe, which is presided over by the world- renowned beauty culturist, May Kazaka, working in harmony with make-up artists Bertha Hanken and Cloria Tradd. Down in XVashington, We waded through millions before we were able to reveal Marcia Pinkham as secretary to Secretary Morgenthau. Miss Pinkham sat coolly amongst heaps of the greenery with which Mr. Morgenthau decorates the Treasury Building. Tightening a loosening ligament as best we could, we gazed enviously at a patient who blithely tripped into the Roslindale Ceneral Hospital, which has a nation-wide fame. Dr. Ruth Ivan is the noted chief-of-staff who recently received great acclaim on the efficiency of her staff. Jean Begley and Dorothy Van Bael are head nurses on the Medical and Surgical YVards respectively, and Frances Jackson is on the Admitting XVard. The Hospital has a dental ward over which Claire McDermott holds supreme command, and in the modern laboratory, technician Rene Dawson ponders many a weighty question which may shake the profession to its very foundations. And now, turbans under one arm, crystal balls under the other, and a huge horse-pistol labeled Senior Class at our temples, we withdraw. leaving good luck and a million dollars to each and every member of the class of '4-1.

After inquiring of an enthusiastic fan, who turned out to bc John Burke, a '44 alumnus, we discovered that this was a championship match between Bill Kearney and Fmil Holland. Holland, who is the manager of a local alphabet soup factory, recently gave the following statement to the press when questioned on a recent strike at the plant, 'Tm at a loss for words! NVQ- struggled through a cloud laden with the incense of exotic tropical flowers, recognizing the lovely face of Teeny Lennon, beckoning us into this .... this paradise. THIS is the almost legendary 'iSwaying Palms, the popular Boston night-club. Miss Lennon, who owns a large share of the stock in the Palms, has often out-shone the many Hollywood personalities who make it a habit to drop in there. Here, surrounded by many of the elite of Boston, we find Major Key Barlow, the famous ace, being toasted to the skies Cwhich he holds in the palm of his hand? amid great cheering. The Toastmaster, of course, is Al Tobin, and among the cheerers we discover Frank Keliher. Paul Murphy, and Leo fthe Lionl Bilodeau. The vocalizing at the club is ably handled by Betty Lou Matarazzo, who gets wonderful assist- ance from Dick Mullin and his unique all-sax orchestra. XVhile wiping off a smudge of printer's ink, we beheld the offices of the famous only hourly paper. the Oracle, which supplies Boston with news- oi1-the-hour-eyery-hour. Editor Marjorie t Stop the Pressul Riley has a super- duper staff, which, strangely enough, is composed almost entirely of '44 alumni. The renowned editorialist Betsy Rooney, who writes under the nom-de-plume of Torothy Dompson, astounds the English-speaking world with her editorials, which are masterpieces of wit. Peeking under an apple-green eyeshade, we saw petite Mary Foley ahnost submerged in piles of human interestv copy, for Mary edits the human side of the Oracle. Feeling a sudden gust of wind, we turned to a languid individual holding up the wall, but, before we could speak, he answered our unasked question with a laconic, That's 'Front Page' XVard . . . big gun battle down by th' Braves Field. . . Rossie and Southie are still at it! Peering through a blue haze, which had suddenly clouded the ball, we recognized the smoky, familiar Boston Carden, and looking deep into the future, we saw that many '44 alumni have realized their childhood ambitions. This was the BONVLEB and BABLONV 4-ring circus, with its widely renowned troupe of famous performers. Here we saw the talented trio of equestriennes: Gardner, Lord, and Moynahan performing wondrous feats, there, the trapeze artists. Creen, Zebal, Vance, and Company. twisting and turning in phosphorescent spangles high above the enraptured crowdg glancing towards the side-show, we saw Barbara Long, the exotic Brazilian snake-charmerg and Killer , Kolseth, who performs astounding feats of strength time and time again to the never- ending delight of peanut-vendor Norman Shea. After parting a particularly shaggy cloud, we saw a book -the book-of-the- month - a group of essays by the distinguished American authoress Marion E. Flaherty, and published by Barlow, Biggy, and Burbank. The book was re- ceived here with great applause by Miss Flaherty's classmates of i-14. A bit of mist came floating by, but we didnit need to yank it down because it was suddenly split asunder by an autogiro which flashed by . . . it was Claire Kern, and her co-pilot Jeanne Lynch, completing the first non-stop flight from VVest Boxbury to Boslindale. Peering through a filmy cobweb with our X-ray eyes, we happened to see page fll'!'Hflf
