THE VAN OF 1932 J Clyde is a boy who has little to say, To those Who come about. But his friendship will sure repay If only you'll try him out. Twinkle, twinkle, little star, Oh, how cute you think you are! There are no Y's in Tommie's name But the T's Cteasej are there just the same. Bill is like Aeneas of old Who was always determined to win. In the coming years, it can be truthfully told That he's fighting the battles of lifej with a grin We know Edna as a tease, This particular lass, She is always at ease, When teasing some one of her class. How sweet is love the poets sing When it pierces the tender heart! And Morris will not foret the ring When he takes his love who shall not depart. Good luck to Mr. Johnson! With him we have had lots of fun. He thinks a lot of his basketball team, Next year we hope many games will be won. We shall never forget Mr. Erwin, Who always says something real funny, Just by looking at him one can see His disposition will always be sunny. With happy memories lingering In the region of our mind With grateful thoughts we bid adieu To the school we must leave behind. More dishes, Millyf'-Della Page fifty-four

THE VAN OF 1932 A pal whom we shall never forget Is Helen-a sweet lass so gay She is always full of mischief and fun, Good fortune will surely come her way. A handsome lad is Thomas Haughee And has quite a case with Dorothy Jane. His love is clinging as a vine to a stump, We hope that his efforts won't be in vain. Maude Marian is truly a friend, And if one is really wise- He will find many good qualities Revealed in her dreamy blue eyes. Freddie's the truth-loving type of a lad, Whose hair is a mass of curls. Although he's had many chances He doesn't care much for girls. Florence Ruark is a jolly good sport, With hazel eyes and chestnut hair. Greencastle seems to be her favorite town And they may end up by living there. Did you e'er see pals so inseparable As our boys-Charley and Joe? They will always be found together No matter where they may go. Amy Sawyer is very demure And she is modest, too. To all those who know her, She is a friend always true. Another set of Siamese twins Is Charley Heacox and Jack. They have friends and girls galore And for mischief they do not lack. Matrimony doesn't interest Thelma so much As it does so many people, But Wib, a diamond, a Dodge, and such Bring visions of a tall church steeple. Thelma and Woodrow, you just act like primer kids.

THE VAN OF 1932 J OF' .Tw NlADANl THE BOSS , CLASS PLAY '32 If you were private secretary to a crooked political boss, and he se- cured your election as mayor for his own private ends, would you do his bidding, or would you defy him and serve the city honestly? This is the dilemma that confronts Gilda Wakefield, and she meets it by sending the politician about his business and becoming her own boss. Thencefor- ward, their meetings are about as affectionate as an encounter between two strange bull-dogs. Throughout this free-for-all fracas, the girl may- or has the backing of her ex-fiance, a young attorney, who has refused to be the boss' rubber-stamp. Other valuable allies are Sammy, the foxy publicity man, and his ladylove, the slangy, gum-chewing stenographer, who, in a mix-up with the boss, is equal to tackling the latter's snobbish wife single-handed.
