Helen Paskus. and The Glass Pro-

President McGrath Speaks.
President Frank McGrath gave the
most interesting OF the student talks:
His speech follows:
Ever since one OF our football
public speaking. l was called upon
unprepared to give a few words on
our successful season. When l had
finished found had used about 10
words. l sat down kind of pleased,
thinking l had established new
worlds record for short speech
making. ! held this reco.d only un-
til Red Matulis was called upon.
What will l say?' was his speech
and he sat down. OF course l felt
badly about it because l no longer
held the record. but upon looking
the matter over I found that every
member in our class had it in him to
do a thing and do it snappily.
LAS brevity is the soul OF wit and
l know you are all anxious to dance.
l will take just a minute to sum
Marie the senior year OF the Class
June 1927.
I'VE came back to these buildings
last fall with the idea Of sweeping
everything before us. from the Car
negie Medal for bravery to the
Orteig prize for the transatlantic
flight, and we came pretty close to
doing it.
"Our class went out strong for
football. OF the first elevoa six men,
bers Of our class were representa-
tiyes. don't say these men were the
whole team, but the brains were
from our class. All will remebber the
lovely Let's 60 when We were in the
huddle.
History repeats itself in basket
ball. Four out of the regular five
came from this class. We also claim
the captain. OF course we had a lit
tie hard luck, being called outlaws
and all sorts of things, pCt we won
the games we were allowed to play
I wish to take a second while I'm
here to tell the real reason for most
of us not being eligible. Havllck
taught us to eat pretzels and We
didn't have time to do anything else
but eat them and dring that famous
bottled sOda-'NOby.'
"Of course, the members OF our
class are not merely athletic. but
number Of our members had many
parts in the Amphion CLUB plays. Re-
member Gunny Carlson at the play
where he forgot his liae-wel. !
don't.
Most of the brilliant feminine
members OF our class Joined the
Junior College club. 1t must feel
great to be smart.
GLASS day came and our class
showed up best with the arm bands.
Blue was a noticeable color that day.
In that play given. 'Johnnie's New
Suit, pinned on John Demmlng.
John, why don't you let your hair
grow? Then buy violin.
In the gymnasium our class
started everything. We went big with
the cones and pies. Why? 1t was the
Iretty booth. I think about Is helped
to build that booth. One worked and
II directed. No, NORM wasn't the
one. He was in the II.
The spring athletic season came
and we turned out for both the
sports. Matulis captainad the ball
team and had six or seven OF his
classmates as advisers. That's all
right though. Zaleski can still throw
beautiful flies to second. AS for the
track team, somebody else had better
ride them. We can't stand much
more. We were brave though. we
often chased four or five down the
go stretch. The members OF both
these teams have learned to take
a licking and smile.
"Our class banquet is now being
held in this room. Too me 1t seems
it is the best banquet that has ever
been held. Dancing viii be enjoyed
after this mental feast.
"Our promenade will be held Fri
Gay OF this week and it sure will go
over big socially as we'll as financial
w. OF course we will all enjoy 1t.
Don't forget. the Prom is held to
dance.
another great occasion will be
our class night. There will be a real
show that night. l suppose % For
Fifty Sakes' will always be remem-
bered.
1--WE will graduate June "A. with
a very impressive ceremony.
THE June Class OF 1927 Is one
class of which every member should
be proud.
I'VE have made a great success OF
our three years, and let us all hope
we will make as great Il success OF
the rest of our lives. We will never
forget the help that We have re-
ceived from our principal and fac
ulty. Let us hope they will always
us and some day be
proud TO say that they taught that
class
