ALBERT COATES ' 18 Organization and service are overworked words but they have genuine meaning in Albert Coates ' dreams and designs. This University law teacher has founded and fostered the Institute of Government, which this year moved into its own building, as a laboratory organized to serve govern- mental units in North Carolina from constable to governor. GEORGE V. DENNY ' 22 The stage and platform have been George V. Denny, Jr. ' s career. With the Carolina Playmakers here he gained and developed technique that enabled him later to extend via radio in America ' s Town Meetings of the Air the freedom of discussion which has distinguished New York ' s Town Hall platforms. THESE HAVE FDUND A WAY T. HE four alumni pictured on this page represent more than twenty thousand living students. They are chosen from among grad- uates of the University in the period since the World War. Each of them has created a career that places him in a leading role on the stage of current happenings. As younger men they saw dreams which now they are realizing. The contributions of good example these men are making mark them for the present student generation. They have created from the mental pictures drawn by them- selves careers which are original and pioneer- ing in nature. The 1940 Yackety Yack is privileged for that reason to have them repre- sent University alumni on this page. PAUL GREEN ' 21 A Pulitzer prize winner on Broad- way who also spent a spell in Hollywood scenario writing, Paul Green deliberately has chosen to teach and work in Chapel Hill. Here he remains in the stream of dramatic trends with such no- table pioneering contributions as The Lost Colony and The Highland Call. KAY KYSER ' 28 Probably no other University alumnus is so widely known as Kay Kyser — whose name on his ' 28 diploma reads James Kern Kyser. Law gave way to the entertainment business he began in college, and Kyser since has created a career in dance music, radio entertainment, and motion pictures.
