Building for To-morrow BUSINESS STAFF ln order to conceive a yearbook worthy to carry out the gigantic theme of the New York World's Fair, sufficient financial returns were needed to secure the finest material possible. Our business manager, Robert Galvin, with the aid of Marjorie Keenan and Mary Slocum, made a thorough survey of the city, using their high-powered salesmanship and personality to secure the good will and cooperation of our merchants. Everywhere they went they were met with kindness and consideration, and with the desired result, our book was financially safe and well on the way to completion. Since we are giving honor where honor is due, we should extend our thanks to the typists: Yvonne Burns and Mary McAuliff, who spent untiring hours typing and retyping captions and salu- tations. To all other members of the business staff we extend our heartfelt thanks. The Worldfs Fair to be a success needed the cooperation of the countries of the world, the Per Annes likewise needed- the cooperation of the staffs and the merchants. Through the com- bined efforts of the staff and of the merchants of Cortland the yearbook was completed, and we hope successfully!

These unmistakable sounds heralded the opening scene of the child wonder of the century, 'lMama's Baby Boy . . . the farce of the season . . . exceeding the speed limit in laughs and ludicrous situations-fun, laughs and roars as the dignified Seniors strutted across the stage in roles of the attractive widow, adolescent youth, impoverished widower, eccentric grandmother and comic color tication went literally out the window . . . merry prattle, poured forth as the Qrson Welles of our Alma Mater dropped from the world of today, assumed a babyish sgueak and turned back the clock four years to become . . . HMama's baby boy. ed maid-tittering, snickering from the audience-sophis I-ls complications arose, characters, as well as audience, became hilarious . . . Mama's boy occasionally found difficulty with his rnasgueraded vox . . . a slight pause when a difficult line eluded the fancy of the player's excited mind . . . suspended action . . . aguaking moment when the curtain fell too soonea sigh of relief came forth as the last words were spoken . . . l'All's well that ends well . . . These incidents linger on . . . stored in our memories of St. Mary's and are a part of the romance of the stage-behind the scenes.
