In order that all may share in our generosity, we, the Senior Class, bestow on the trembling Freshmen our surplus knowledge, which they so tragically lack.

To the Juniors we leave our heartfelt sympathy and sincere appreciation. To the hard-working teachers, we most willingly leave our lead pencils, erasers, and threadbare books. To Pummy” and Kate” we bequeath all the candy and gum wrappers that they will find in our lockers. In witness whereof, we have hereto subscribed our names and affixed our seal, this first day of June, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and thirty-one. Mr. Lynn G.

Place: 348 State Street. Chicago, Illinois. A W.— Well, well, if it isn’t Stan!” S. H.—''Hello, Woody, how is business?” A. W I hear you have succeeded Walter Hagen as the world's gieatest Professional. Congratulations!” S. H.— Thanks. I hear you have become a butter and egg man. But how did it happen that you nevei married?” A. W.— Probably the same reason that you didn’t.” S. H.— Speaking of marriage, that reminds me that Marguerite Donovan has just taken Jack Flynn for her third husband.” A. W.— And speaking of old classmates, I understand that Alice Whiteis has become a hostess at the new Night Club near Sheridan.” S. H.— But the last scandal back home is that David Bernard was seen attending the show on Sunday night with Lillie Larson.” A. W.— Let’s walk on down the street. Maybe we’ll see some familiar names. There’s a sign on top of that building saying, 'Tooley for Mayor and keep the city well papered and painted . S. H.— That reminds me that on my way to Chicago last week I stopped at the old home town and bought the Free Press at Dick Datschefski’s News Stand and read of a hot campaign for city clerk, staged by Agnes Barker and Dorothy McBride. Things seem to look pretty good for our red-headed friend.” A. W.— Let’s drop in at one of Puhan’s great chain stores and see if he can convince us that his brand of pretzels is the best.” S. H.— Why, here is a poem in the Sandwich Free Press by Arthur Killey. That fellow always could write poetry back in the old school days. And here is a cartoon by Gletty on the duties of the city nurse, Anna Albrecht.” A. W.— Oh, let’s see what we can find in the Around Town column. ’On Friday, Margaret Hodgson entertained the Stitch and Chatter Club. Dorothy Fritsch and Bertha Wallis were high scorers in rummy.’ And note this ’ad’—'Infants' Rubber Pants, 10c per pair, at Lola Schumaker's Gift Shoppe’.” S. H.— And this, in the Lost and Found column: ’A purebred Cheese Hound. Please return in five days to Dorothy Kesslar.' ” A. W.— I see Russell Felder, the local fire chief, distinguished himself with bravery by saving two hens and a rooster when Agnes Bernhardt’s chicken house burned down.” S. H.— From that sign across the street it looks as if Florence Wilson and SeDelle Hanson are willing to demonstrate ’Austins’ at any time. A. W.— Let’s visit Lavone Higgins’ Chinese-American Restaurant, or would you prefer to go to Coakes’ famous ’Cooky’ shop?” S. H.— Speaking of shops. Alda Miller has just opened up a new antique shop in Millington, and Helen Johnson has opened up a lute fisk store next door.” A. W.— When 1 was in Cicero the other day, I heard that Agatha Lindner was doing a great work in the way of social uplift among the gangsters.” S. H.— Why, look across the street at the Star and Garter: ’Now Playing—George Carr and His Famous Wampus Babies,’ featuring Eleanor Stolp, in 'The Vamp’. A. W.— And down at the Grand Opera House, Wayne King’s successor, Charles Brower and his orchestra, is playing, featuring Clarence Massat, the greatest cornetist; Edna Nelson, the famous Blues Singer: and Leone Creasy, the fancy dancer.” S. H.— When you speak of dancing, it reminds me that Elsie Miller and Margaret Mall are giving dancing lessons at Hummel’s hall while you wait, and Arthur Martin has succeeded ’Pummy’ as janitor at S. T. H. S. on account of his height.” A. W.— And have you heard about our old friend? In this morning’s Tribune were the headlines: 'Leon Wood has accomplished the impossible by spanning the Pacific in his newly invented autogyroscope. S. H.— Why, that’s great. I always knew he would accomplish something worth while. There was also an article about Lester Claude and his new racing car. But to return to Sandwich, I suppose you know that Bob Gengler is the sole furnisher of poultry and eggs for the old home town, and it is said that babies cry for milk from Connolly’s contented cows. And speaking of infants, I hear that Helen Loeb is a kindergarten teacher. I guess she is making little things count.” A. W.— And Genevieve Lowry is now playing in her famous show, ’Paris Garters,’ in New York.” S. H.— Barbara Hartmann is still looking for a boy who can look East and West at the same time.” A. W.— And Dorothy Rohm and Charlotte Edgerton are owners of the largest guinea pig farm this side of Asbury.” S. H.— Well, so long. Woody, now that I’m the professional at the Sannauk Golf Course, I’m due back in an hour to give Mr. Haskin that golf lesson. A. W. Well, so long. Stan, and don’t forget to drop in for another chat when you come to the city. Alfred Woodward. Stanley Hagen. SSSSBSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS Page Twenty-nine
