26 THE CRIMSON AND GRAY The Prophecy of the Class of igj2 Since, in the course of the passing years, it has become necessary for the class of 1932 to dissolve the bonds of equality which have con- nected its members with their former fellow- students and to assume the position of super- iority and individuality which the experience and successes of its members have entitled it to, a decent respect to the opinion of the afore mentioned students requires that the class should declare the causes and reasons which impels it to assume such a position. We hold the following to be a precise and accurate ac- count of the aforementioned causes of and reasons for the superiority of the Class of 1932. Whds Who Charron, Lavigueur, J. Wilson and Clark are broadcasting every Saturday night over Station NERTS as the Bills Brothers Quartet. Louie Dani and Phil Colognesi are now Dani and Colognesi Inc. They have made their future secure by directing sceneiy effects for Paramount. Richard Muller is the velvet- voiced an- nouncer so loved by female America who an- nounces the popular Val Wilson and his orches- tra from the night club owned and operated by Johnson, Mason, and Cullen Inc. (Incidently, this club is the favorite haunt of Tully, famous Broadway columnist who out-winchelled Win- chel.) Albert Dufault is Physical director at the Boston Y . George Fitts is a landscape gardener follow- ing in the footsteps of his pater . Marie Dodd is an instructor in a school of poise. Louise Gabree has announced that she will be the U. S. Representative swimmer at the Olympics at Turkey. So far she has won 100 and 440 meter events. The depression makes it impossible for the U. S. to send more than one representative to the Olympics. John Harman is the leading contender for wrestling championship of the world. His latest victory was over The Texas Terror. Chester Gates has accepted a position as field supervisor of Allied Chicken Incorporated. William Hofstra divides his time between his plumbing business and directing the affairs of the local orders of Rotarians and Kiwanians. Bernice Hunt is a second Pavlowa managed by her sister Dot.

Her campaign is being managed by Dorothy Cox and Louise Hall. Herman Lamothe is Treasurer of the Amos- Andy and Lamothe Taxi Co. Dot Labelle has blossomed forth as one of America ' s leading equestrians. Rafeala Lenti is a style sleuth for the Houde Howard Dress Co. The styles that she doesn ' t create in America, she discovers in Europe. Tony Roy, Jane Lemoine, Helen Thomas, and Ruth Farley are Parisienne mannequins tra- veling with Miss Lenti. Annette Mathieu conducts an Advice to the Lovelorn column in the Bridgeport Herald. John Weaver is editor of this nation- ally known paper. Doris Olney is married to Charles Clark, he who produces those rhythmic basso effects in the Bills Bros. Quartet.
