Ya, thrills countless old maids, and his graceful gestures are the envy and inspira- tion of all the big traffic cops.. Chick McCann has chosen a theatrical career. He is now a great magician, and daily performs marvelous disappearing stunts, making chicken dinner disappear in UQ minutes. Oscar Cane has benefited mankind greatly by following the footsteps of Luther Burbank. After many years of experimenting in the butcher shop, Henry has finally invented and ,patented a cow that is all sirloin steaks. Leatha Rielly has capitalized her love of dancing by opening a select school for aesthetic dancing. Mary Flynn, who was so constantly annoying her teacher by manipulat- ing chewing gum into various shapes, has found an outlet for artistic tastes, and is now a famous sculptress. Her latest creation The Lonesome Clam is now attracting great attention in the Freer Art Museum, on Riverside Drive. Della Riggio has become a great athlete, and is now touring the country giving courses in physical culture to high schools. Her name works magic in any school where she has been, which is a tribute to her ability t-o handle children. Joe Connolly has become a big game hunter. He absent-mindedly shot his neighbor's cow down in Hampton, and departed for Africa post-haste. His monocle once saved his life, when he threw it down the throat of a charg- ing lion and the lion died of glass poisoning. Larry Walsh got a job with a bald man as a Before and After ad- vertisement for Ed Pinaud's Hair tonic. He has worked his way to a high position with the company and now can drink all the Hair Tonic he wants, free of charge. I thanked Stone, who was disguised as an airplane, and walked away, musing on the reason why all of my classmates were so successful, but could think of none, except the tremendous amount of hard work and study they did during their Senior year. - Richard Davall, '28. 5 23 'u 2 DE' Q 3 Q.
