2G THE S. H. S. AUTHENTIC JUNE 1034 on his absent slip, I was at a wedding.” Ilasty research, however, proved that he was merely a witness. — x — That eminent wizard of radio, Donald Grundbcrg, was a recent martyr to his own genius. Just as he had one of the pocket radios going at a fine rate in a certain study period he was told quite firmly that his broadcasting for that day had come to a close. Sweet music it was, too. Pete Savelo lost a fine chance to get the last ball at the Maynard game simply because he feared to tread on the toes of a fair spectator. Hi, there, Sir Galahad ! — x — Edmund Blood can give you any popular tune to the accompaniment of a glass of Moxie. They say it sounds like Grandpa drinking soup.

JUNE 1934 THE S. H. S. AUTHENTIC 25 (Soaaip Who is that nice young fellow C. W. knows ? She certainly has pulled the wool of innocence over our eyes. — x — We wonder what H. R. (Alumnus) was doing at our best-looking girl’s house recently? Coming to see Mr. White? Oh, no! — x — EXTRA! EXTRA! EXTRA! Big Eat-a-thon staged at Salisbury Beach, May 28th, or was it May 29th? “Pete” and Ben” were the participants performing before an audience of twelve. With breathless admiration and speechless wonder we witnessed the exciting procedure and after a most gruelling contest we have to confess “Groucho,” the winner, by a piece of pie and an ex- tra bottle of pop. However, Pete did hold his own. Nice work, boys! — x — A big blue ribbon goes to the batter for first prize in auto driving. After crawling along at the pace of 25 miles he fooled us all by his alarming speed record of 55 miles an hour. He didn’t even heed the poor little protesting sparks from the exhause to the despair of Bernard, Jr. — x — A big, purple scallion to the one who let the air out of the left rear tire of R. A.’s Hudson. — x — Who are the “Three Mutts-in-Tears” ? — x — It was funny that all of us didn’t get a chance to read that literature that was being passed around at the last Commercial Club meeting. — x — What a sight for sore eyes! You should have seen Miss Smith chasing Stilts” Kaulback down the corridor the other day. What was the attraction we wonder? Although all the girls in the Commercial Club have bought one of the club pins, not many of them are wearing them now. It seems that they look better on the lapels of dark suits or even gray ones. Who was the Don Juan that Viola La Pierre met after the banquet? Not so bad for such a bashful girl! — x — That quartet which rendered “Sweet Adaline” on the veranda of the Andover Country Club was cer- tainly in high gear. Its sweet strains were broken up by the intrusion of some unknown character who quoted, Silence is Golden.” — x — Then there was the confused Senior who entered the Andover Country Club a little late. Seeing what he thought was a head waiter he went up to the man and inquired, “Could you tell me where the main dining room is?” Surely,” replied Mr. Var- ney, “right around to your right.” — x — ■ Bread Crumbs from the Banquet! Of course, the Senior Banquet, on May 28th, sup- plied the Gossipper with some juicy tidbits. We re- gret to say that we must hold certain stories locked forever in our heart (we really have one) but a few choice morsels follow. “Bob” Arnold was getting along fine with his chicken, compared to the rest of us, when he dis- covered a juicy piece of dressing with the wrapper off a loaf of Hathaway’s bread obligingly tossed in. Bob was still laughing at the memory of that when he discovered that he had, of all things, a flat tire (and we don’t mean in the front seat). After waiting for what seemed like hours watch- ing Bemie Scully eating two sandwiches, an ice cream, two bottles of tonic and a piece of pie, Pete Savelo caught the fever and tore off a few turn- overs on his own account. The result was the ulti- mate purchase of a bottle of soda. Somebody who thought George Magrath was try- ing to swallow a burning telegraph pole was ad- vised that it was merely a cigar. Whereupon that person quoted, “Give him enough rope and he’ll smoke it.” We delighted in watching beautiful blushes ap- pear on the countenance of each victim of Toast- master Eddie Breagy’s jokes. There were some pips! — x — Colin Roberts startled the office with this excuse
