THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1935 The Senior Class of 1935 has the honor of being the first to receive degrees from the University of Houston. Many of them work during the day and attend classes in the evenings, and they have set a fine example of persistence and perseverance that will be hard for undergraduates to follow. Mr. Henderson was the advisor of the class this year and many social events were planned under his direction. To you Seniors we offer our heartiest congratulations and hopes for a successful future. We believe that you are equal to any obstacles that you will encounter. GRADUATES WITHOUT PICTURES AGEE. MRS. MAMIE BASSINGER. MRS. FRANK BLACK, MRS. I. L.

AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A DIME I have had some rather peculiar experi- ences since I left the mint, said the dime to the penny. My first experience was that of being placed in a snuff box, which belonged to a dark complexioned dame. When I was removed from that dusty cell, I was given to a butcher for some doq meat.

MY next adventure was most exciting. I was piCked up by a small boy who almost swal- lowed me. Later, I was given in exchange to a merchant who seemed very glad to get me. My last journey was to the office of the Dean of the University of Houston. I have been here for years now, and there are no signs of my getting any farther! i a t i Prof. Kerbow Ito Ed. classI: Here is a verY instructive reference that I want the entire class to look up.

VlRQiE-IBE'LERM u .x Suppose Charley Giraud proposed to Ava Dee Jackson and she said no. Then, Charley, to get even, married Ava Dee's mother, and his father married Ava Dee. When Charley married Ava Dee's mother, Ava Dee became his daughter; and when Charley's father married Ava Dee, he be- came Charley's son. But when Charley's father married Ava Dee, Ava Dee became Charley's mother. Then Charley's father is his son, and his daughter is his mother. Charley's mother's mother is his grand- mother and he is her husband. So, if Charley is his grandmother's husband -he must be his own grandfather. Mr. Iermings: I must study that young man of yours, daughter. I want to see how he takes hold of things that interest him. Jane: 0.
