Here we are on our way to the gateway. The horizon is just ahead of us. Just another year to travel and we, too, will be ready to pass through the gateway at the Skyline and on to the life that is ahead. We have had our pleasure and sorrows, but the best is just before us.

We have heard a rumor that our star fullback of past years, Connie Kurtz, is now playing in place of Lucille Sweeny at Yippahooty College. Alice Chandler has settled down with her beloved, Karl, but he still doesn’t know how to pin on baby diapers. Well, it has happened. Brandon Taylor is now modeling —for Pierre of Paris.
