“ La-da-da,” a soft, husky voice floats softly across the smoke laden air of the Senior smoking room—no it isn’t Bing Crosby—that’s Madden—master of synco pation. On the billboard we are attracted by a clever poster. Who drew it?— None other than George, the man with the soft voice and talented pen! U p stairs in the class room a scholarly voice renders an exact, well worded, Latin translation—the boy can not only draw and dance— but also read Latin and French. Our hearts beat to the rhythm of his song, our eyes feast on his nimble feet, our brains register him as a friend and classmate— forever!
Step right this way, gents, and meet “ Prep’s bad boy” —jolly, boisterous, boyish “ Maggie” 4-C’s riot of fun and frolic. Never a dull moment, never a dull answer, never dull! T o our eyes “ Maggie” is just a boy growing up, but to his teachers he is more than that—he is an Ax student. On his serious side he has much in his favor, a steady application to study, a fine appreciation of himself and the world he lives in, and a true friend to all who know him well enough to be a member of that most select company. At this our graduation we must bid our jester farewell but we do so with confidence for we know he will succeed.
“ Vinnie” is by far the most silent member of 4-C. However, when called upon in any class his answers prove that the same silence is taken up by deep think ing. Nevertheless “ Vin” is an intricate part of the class and we would never have had such a happy, har monious year without his presence. His favorite sport is basketball in which he shows unusual speed, sure footedness, and accuracy, those things count both in sports and life, they make the winner, the champion. Your feet are firmly planted on the road to success; here’s to happy travelling. Such a beginning as yours spells the same thing in any language. Vale!
