FUTURAMA-CLASS UF '41 The members of the class of '41 have trod many and divers paths in their twenty years of progress QD since first they left St. Paul's, but they still retain certain characteristics which helped to dis or extinguish them at their Alma Mater. For instance, Herbie Giddings was just put on trial for polygamous polygamy when twenty-six women each claimed to be his one and only law- fully wedded wife. They were all proved to be wrong, however, when wife No. 27 appeared. Other St. Paulites have done quite well in other fields also. Ray Burkland made a million dollars two years ago when he cornered the bull market. After seventeen consecutive setbacks, jimmy Syverson finally managed to hobble around the court without tripping on his long white beard, to win the National Veterans Tennis Champion- ship in that beautiful little town of Forest Hills. But, let's take a look at the newspaper. On the sports page the headlines read jack Comerford passed two hundred yards for a double touchdown to enable Oleary's Oilers to beat C-insbergis Gar- agemen, 12f1O. We must hurry on, however, for I just can't wait to turn to Peeking Perryis gossip column. West Point lost a valuable secret-service man when it told George he ought to be a traffic light Cwhen he blushedD. Ah, there it is! I.et's see what he has to say: When we interviewed Mr. john McKeon, noted bug exterminator, about his business, he said, quote, 'It's a creepy'. Unfortunately your snooper has not been able to get anything on 'Tubby' Washburn, head of the Tubbs' Laundry, as he has been living a very clean life. But rumor hath it that the notorious city slicker, Ellery, will soon publish his own autobiography entitled 'Mann about town'. Furthermore, that juggling gigolo and entrancing entertainer, Bob Miles, was last seen Page Twenty-Six attired as a Tahitian, crooning in a Hawaiian Night Club. He explained, 'I always have wanted to go native'. But, enough of that drool! just listen! Canit you recognize the tune? She'll be comin' round the mountain when she comes. Well, if it isn't Granpappie Thompson, the hoary headed hill-billy! How's your Apple-jack? Purty corny, young feller, purty corny! Why, there's smiling Charlie, the Pullman por- ter, coming up the street. Charlie, what has hap- pened to you? Wal, it wuzz dis way. Ah stooded too long under de boss's sunlamp and it done turn'd me Brown. Horrors! But, Charlie, now that I think of it, what is your favorite orchestra? Fav-o-rite o-cas-trie? Dat's easy! Perry Wil- liams and his rubber band. Have you done heard Perry's latest derangement-Deep Vi-o-let? Yikes! He's still playing it after these twenty years. Six lessons from Madam Tourangeauf' Well, here we are at the dancing school of Al and his wife. There's Al himself teaching three of the most adorable little cherubs and-and Mon- sieur Mitchell, that famous hair dresser of the Kiss Me Sweet Beauty Salon. It has been his privilege to improvise that super swell swirl for Madam's Coiffure. And, goodness, of all places to meet Jud Cvoodspeed! What are you doing here, Jud? Practicing up my ballet dancing. One, two, three, pirouette!-It has become my favorite pas- time-two, three, pirouette!-It keeps me down to
