GRADUATION NUMBER iiuleed. Maybe it’s that much talked of Texas moon that has had such beneficial results? But I wonder! My vision is now following a train speeding northward. At Atlantic City I see a happy throng on the celebrated board walk. George Halpin and Marion Lovering are selling imported monkeys. The monkeys keep George busy, but usually he gets along finely with them. Jimmie and Tommie Roach have found- ed the Roach Squeezum Oil Corpora- tion. They are taking advantage of the money floating around at Atlantic City. The 3 claim they have oil to back up their project. However, Craige White, who is now a detective, is keeping a watchful eye on them. Craige’s dime- novel scowl would make Bulldog Drum- mond quiver! And lastly, your old partner in crime, Bob Sheehan, is this night in London. He has spent the last five years in Italy studying voice. At present he is in his dressing room at the Coventry Gardens Opera House getting ready to make his debut in “Aida” before London society. If you rush from here, take a taxi and drive there, you’ll arrive three or four minutes before the opening curtain.” I made no move to go. My brain was in a whirl. “Go, I tell you. Go,” she said. She waved away my thanks, and with a ges- ture urged me not to waste a moment to say, “Thank you.” To the rhythm of the taxi’s engine, I found myself saying, “I’m going to see one of my old classmates, Bobbie Shee- han. And now I’ll get the news first hand.” Prapt|ecy of prophet Robert As I was going to Boston on the ele- vated, I commenced to read the adver- tisements. There were many in number — from the advertisements of Sloan’s Liniment to Friend’s Baked Beans — Imt tlicre were one or two which hap- pened to catch my eye. One was a pic- ture of a young man dressed in a blue serge suit, carrying a cane. The title of the ad was “Picture Yourself in Blue.” I looked at the face of the mod- el and noticed that it was strangely familiar, but I could not recollect who Sheehan it was. The next ad was for Arrow Collars with the same model. “Could that be Laurie Buck?” I asked myself, j Then I looked again at a full-length ad- vertisement. This time I was sure. It 1 was published by the Tuberculosis j Health Association recommending 1 “Shorts” with silk waists and silk stock- ! ings, etc., for men’s summer wear. I glanced downward. “Yes, sir ! If I couldn’t remember Laurie’s face, no- body could fool me on those feet!” FOREIGN DEPARTMENT DOES IT PAY TO GUESS? J’aime une nuit de I’hiver Do toutes les nuits de tons Ics mois — Quand la neige brille toujours Ft la lune luit par la foret noire. Toutes les etoiles en haut Brillent comme cristal et bijouterie belle ; Et comme un petit mouton egare, IJn nuage inonde dans le vaste ciel. Le monde est calme et tranquille; Seulement les harmonies de la vielle eglise, Qui connent chaque heure Doucement, sent entendues sur la brise. Mary J. Hill ’31.

THE STONEHAM HIGH SCHOOL AUTHENTIC vantage on a beautiful hill. On draw- ing near, I see a domestic scene well worth painting. The sweet woman is the former Mary Hynes. A curly-head- ed chap sits in her lap and two more hang over the back of her chair. I see a young man in the doorway — Gene Brackley is the way I see the name. There is a well-worn path around the i house. It’s easy to see that Gene still keeps in training! Again I see open fields. This time it seems to be cultivated. I see a young farmer carefully hoeing dandelions. As he looks up, I can see Eddie Bugbee. He’s now cultivating dandelions for market in the city, to be used chiefly in the manufacture of complexion creme. Eddie is making money — dandelion over dandelion I Mrs. Eddie or Kay Hamill is happy as a lark. It was Kay who pulled Eddie through when the dande- lions were stringy. “The scene is again assuming differ- ent colors,” said my magician. “This time I see a large crowd on Boston Com- mon. Everyone’s attention is on a ro- bust woman who is wildly gesticulating and talking in a loud voice. The wom- an is Dorothy Tidd. She is speaking on ‘More Liberty For Women Divers’. Ev- ery five minutes Ethel Hume and Myr- tle Morrison rush to Miss Tidd with a glass of water. (I always thought Ethel was a fine diver — I wonder w’hy she needs liberty.) Joe Driscoll and Midge Markham are in the first row of seats. Both are munching apples and peanuts, enjoying themselves immensely. Arthur Knopp, Jim Donegan, and Sumner Thompson comprise a group of wise- crackers in the crowd — but Miss Tidd has wonderful courage ! Evidently Le- roy Card and Bernie Comer agree with Dot on more rights for women — they eye Knoppie, Jimmie, and Sumner with deep disgust. Up across the common I see the new Touraine Hotel. Two men are industriously washing windows on the top floor. They are your old classmates, Fran Scanlon and A1 Sher- man, the two most fearless steeple jacks this side of Walpole! At the junction of Boylston and Tremont streets, A1 (Stucco) Rotundi is directing traffic. A1 raises a white-gloved hand to stop a beautiful Packard touring car. Edna Daw is driving with A1 Meek taking up the rest of the front seat. Thelma Crandall and Emily Ritchie do the back seat driving with Bill French. Fran Yancey is now running a cigar store on Tremont Street. Some of Fran’s sto- gies would make your hair stand on end. Fran drew comic strips as a side line. Lester Young is clerk in Fran’s estab- lisliment. He was sick for the first day or two but he has grown used to each and every brand now! John Morrison is a floor walker in Raymond’s. He has held the position for the past five years. The management is well pleased with Johnnie’s ability to help (smart) young people in distress. “Again the vision travels,” said my in- formant. “This time I see the sunny beach at Miami, Florida. The Holts- berg sisters, A1 and Lil, teach swimming school at the fashionable resort. Their clients come in droves. Lil al- ways starts them off with the dog pad- dle. A1 takes care of the high diving. The Warren sisters. Hazel and Eliza- beth, have started another school a mile or so down the beach. Since the season opened Cal Thornburg and Art Tole have been advertising the Warren school as a safer all-around investment! Lil and A1 remain undisturbed, how- ever. They firmly believe that compe- tition is the life of business. The one hot-dog establishment at Miami is run bj ' Fred Brouillard and Loretta McDon- ough. They are practically swamped in business. Lettie spreads picallily and mustard by the gallon. George Ma- honey, star of the Boston Bruins, af- firms that the Brouilard-McDonough hot-dogs are the best on the market. Herb Brock and Bob Brown are life guards at Miami. Bob always was a brawny boy! Marjorie Pickhardt and Ruth Sutherland are long distance swimmers. Marj is extremely careful not to venture too far out. Herbie Brock rescued her once! Marj has de- cided to stay rescued. Bertha Wessell and Eloise Frost are traveling with the Southern Star Stock Company. Miss Wessell has also developed her voice. Ruth Newcomb is happily married and has lived for the past two years in Tex- as. I can see that she made the journey in a 1930 Ford coupe. Ed Perkins is a cow puncher on a Texas ranch. Ed cer- tainly can throw the rope. While we are in Texas, my vision shows me a lonely ranch just outside the city limits of Dallas. Mr. Earle Thom- as Thibodeau, valued friend of the Class of 1930, is the owner of this ranch. He cultivates onions from morning till night. It seems to me that he is ex- tremely happy. A strange happiness [ 12 ]
