JUNE 1948 CLASS ODE OF 1948 The muffled sound of the closing door — Shut forever on those carefree days. Then the pang of sorrow and regret amidst gladness. The years are slipping slowly by. But vanished not are the joys of youth, And other doors will open. Rays of sunshine through the clouds Memories — shadows on the wall of time All that remains. To dwell on these echoes of the past means failure; To embrace them and go on — success. —Natalie Litvich 29

T11E AC AI )EMY ST LT DENT William Smart and Jimmy Daniels are supplying the whole of the Western Hemisphere with fine skunk pelts; grown on their skunk farm in Lyndon Corners, just opposite the LaPoint and Dodge Brewery Company where the best and only the best beer is brewed, known internationally as Two Feathers and a Rose. Betty Bolton, Chief Problem Solver in two hemispheres, has been proclaimed by leading scientists the female Einstein. Not only has she time for problems in the organic world, but she also has time for problems in the inorganic world. Miss Bolton recently married William Rodd, the famous track star of today, who has found a way to run faster than anyone has ever run before. (It is our private opinion that for once he didn’t run fast enough.) Barbara Brewer recently won the Jitterbug Contest in the state of Vermont for her fine footwork. She has been running dance in Danville for the past six months, ably assisted by Dorothy Bruce, Waltz Queen of New York State. Bouncer Brodien keeps the Danville dances clean. Francis Boutett has perfected a way of dissecting animals without bisecting. For this achievement he has been awarded the Clay Hill Prize in biology from the Howard Eastman Foundation. The late Howard Eastman who established this fund gave his life with the French Foreign Legion during the battle over King Tut’s harem. Mac MacDonald, four years All-American Quarterback at Granby Tech, lias become a contortionist. This is due to his superior ability to run around his own end in good old Tech days. Patricia Hamilton Katherine Shores P.S. Any significance in these predictions is purely intentional. 28
