------1------M CLASS OF 1940 --------------- Clair Projbbeey On Wednesday, the 29th day of November in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and thirty nine, lifting up my voice, I proclaimed that Waltham would upset Brockton by one touch- down. From this, my initial adventure in prog- nostication, I arise with my head bloody but un- bowed, and with an optimism which will not be downed I am leading with my chin again. I ask you, therefore, to visualize your prophet as a radio broadcaster, which role he has chosen more from plot necessity than from aptitude, bringing you a description of an Inaugural Parade from Washington sometime in the distant future. This is David Fitzgerald speaking from a bal- cony above Pennsylvania Avenue where I will at- tempt to describe to you the Inaugural Parade and at the same time keep in touch with the rest of the country by means of news flashes. Contrary to the usual custom the Inaugural Parade is being held without the President. President fobnflone'r social secretary, Eleanor Betty, thought it would be nice if the President received everyone who had his High School picture at the Victory Ball last night. At last reports the President's arm is still paralyzed but physicians were beginning to hope. Today the Chief Executive's place is being taken by his bodyguard, Willie Riebardf. Since the President is a bachelor, his campaign manager, Al Ganrbier, conducted a Nation-wide contest for the position of First Lady. Riding in the Presi- dential Car are the twelve Hnalists: Riilb Belli- vean, Elaine Cabill, Marjorie Dow, Fay Cbapin, Marjorie Farnfworlb, Genevieve Cbiaffon, Mari- lynne Collofnb, Marjorie Freeman, Marion fonef, Mary Keefe, Dorofby Lawfon, and faniee Loving. Closely following the President's car is cam- paign manager Al Gauthier and those famous political bosses: Albert Bnrbe, Hal Neelon, IWaller Foote, Ben Algeri, Walter' Carfidy, Ronny Mae- Arlbar, Gerald Bnrgerr, Panl Trornbley and Ed. Flannery, accompanied by their official hostesses: Wilfrza Greenlaiv, Rila Dnbe, Anne Drnry, Regine Hanna, Belly Morber, Madeline O'Hare, Dorozfby Peterfon, Erzfelle Sbieldr, and Mary Malone. Gauthier was always a good politician and could put anyone in office except himself. Next comes General Robert Collinf, Army Chief of Staff, and his staff generals, Rigoli, Beffo, Bzitrber, fanef, McClellan, and Mehlngb. Ellen Maefilpine, Barbara Page and Denife Rollo are in charge of the women's battalions. Following the Army is the Diplomatic Corps led by the newly appointed Ambassador to the Irish Free State, Mr. Pbilip Vincello fWhen asking for the appoint- ment, Mr. Vincello told the President that he simply had to get back to the Old Countryj. With Ambassador Vincello are Consuls William Connelly, Don Morriyon, fobn Arcbdeacon, Clar- ence Arrenanll, Lawrenee Eden, Arnold Sarnzan- ian, Pbil fonef, Panl Mnlvibill and Paiil Mnire, delegates to the newly-formed German Provinces. The next group is the Presidentls Cabinet which seems to be built around Mr. Edwin Briggr, Secretary of Education. Mr. Briggs intends to make the study of Astronomy a required subject. Ted always spent a lot of time gazing at the moon. Accompanying Briggs are Sec. of the Treasury Bob Slevenr falways good at high finance-re member the buses to Reverej, Sec. of War Belly Andrewf fwhen it comes to fighting Betty knows the answersj and Secretaries Prireilla Grey, Er- 7 lelle Derrell, Irene Derrnond, Mary Dolan, Eliz- abelb Crane, Belly Crook, Marjorie Melanron and Irene Millar. In the corner of the car is Sec. of Labor Conrad Teele asleep. Questioned on his views concerning labor, Mr. Teele replied 'I'm agin it. Miss Rlllb Hogan, Mr. Gauthier's secretary has asked me to acknowledge over the air these tele- grams of congratulation. The first one is from the Waltham Mother's Club and is signed by President Dorolbea Barniele, feanne Berggren, Barbara Boyd, Helen Brady, Barbara Brewrler,

All signed their maiden names lest the Presi- dent fail to recognize them. Pinned to this tele- gram is one from the Mother's Club Auxiliary signed by Roy Leaf, Peter Mnire, Edward Millen, john Neil, Gerald Richardf, Charler Blanchard, Rirhard Danielr, Ererett Hainer, llyilliain Petrie and Richard Larron.

Also in the band are our famous musicians: Rnth Dahlin, Marjorie Daley, Loniie Hirhie, Rita Hainel, Eleanor Magazn, Belly McDongall, Florence Lelierre, Rita MrGongh, Irabelle Marlinrha and lfore Soltile. Here's a news flash, Bob Connor, the Boston Bruins center has just been arrested for murder. It seems that when Hector Ronrrean shot the win- ning goal of the Stanley Cup finals, IZn.r.r Broien. the ofhcial scorer, gave the assist to Perley Grant--- ijuite naturally Connor shot him. Nathan Kane. Connor's lawyer, has pleaded justifiable homicide. District Attorney, Marlin Coleman, has sum- moned john Fallo, Rudolph Fiorelli, Marjorie fohnron Pearl LeBlanc, Eleanor Meirner, Marie Le Fort, Carinello Caniiniti, Edith Maher, Erna Smith and Angela Niofe as witnesses. Now back to the parade, the members of the Senate are passing in review. In the first car is Senator jazner LaCazfa, leader of the minority bloc.
