GRADUATION NUMBER Class Statistics Gordon Marston Hear ye ! Hear ye ! All those who wish to enter the sacred sanctum of the mi hty oracle of statistics will be grant- ed an audience. Searching through the records of the statistics the all know- ing one gave me the following reports. He said that these statistics were not compiled with any injurious intent, but rather in a mirth provoking spirit. All senior mentioned herein are kindly re- quested not to feel hurt. The class total height is 500 feet which would feed 427 hungry dogs if a string of frankfurts were placed end to end for the entire 500 feet. Barnum’s 14 best elephants only weigh two and one-quarter pounds more than the total weight of our class which is 17,442 pounds. The total age of the class equals 1,620 years which accounts for the swanky beards and trim moustaches that some of the senior boys wear, es- pecially Mr. Arthur Theroux. Now, on with the bad news!
