Pete is surprisingly answered, as in gropes Sleepy Lien with a deck of bridge cards in his left hand and a Longfellow cigarette dangling from his lips. Just then, as if a cyclone had struck, four green-liveried attendants are rolling Walt Mahn, bed and all, while he is flipping cards across the room, right through the guest entrance of the dining room. Securing their places, quiet is established, as if all had recovered from shock. The silence did not last. The southern drawl of Money Block was heard chanting, How to Dance, Showing Your Buttons, and for encore, the Brotherhood of White Men. Hunger overtook the host and guests, and they became absorbed in the gastro- nomic art, despite the absence of two members. The long silence was finally broken by the arrival of two telegrams. Pete Basilion, the exhausted host, whispered the contents to the terrified guests. Sorry can't be with you. My Long Island University team is smashing Tingle's outfit. Signed, Tony D'Apolito. Couldn't make it. My New York University team is destroying D'Apolito's squad in the Polo Grounds. Signed, Ted Tingle. Every guest arose as a man. Prof. Turner exclaimed: Classmates, let us hurry to the Polo Grounds and stop the slaughter. As each one sought his outdoor clothes, the sonorous voice of Doctor of Philosophy Block could be heard: Alas! Now, I do believe in the subconscious. The night air engulfed the unique class of 1950.
