7vzZ' aclfcha This is the story of a wayward donkey, who was attracted so much by Westtown's ivy-covered walls and friendly spirit, that he ran away from his master, who was on a mining trip to El Dorado. This donkey, whom we shall call 49 , loved us at first sight and decided to spend his loofh anniversary year with the 49ers. As a true member of the class he was given a schedule, attended classes, and received his monthly marks. 49 was ingenious but wrong with Cac, but broke test tubes in Chemistry, and took out half sheets of paper for Master Al. No phase of school life escaped his inquisitive gaze as he joined committee meetings, bull sessions, p.j. parties, and play rehearsals. Those long ears heard Westtown's 44 bells a day, the drone of recitations, the in- evitable 95O Club, and the vie in the Casino. His ungainly legs and long tail got in the way as he tried to waltz, to boot long kicks on the soccer field, and to sprint down the hall to dinner. Work Program welcomed -49 with open arms, for his long tail reached all the nooks and crannies overlooked by the hard-Work- ing students. Even his voice was a boon to our year. His raucous tenor could be clearly heard at all pep rallies, in hymn singing at vespers, and was a definite standout in the Operetta. A sentimentalist at heart, 49 religiously kept a diarv of the many little things that happen each day. And when he left, we took the liberty of publishing this, his scrapbook, because it de- picted our year-1949.
