Class of 1918

Joe McCune is now selling real estate in Columbus, Ohio. We have it on good authority that "half-pint Joe," as he was formerly known to his patrons in the erstwhile notorious Musgrove edifice, is now living in the fashionable East End section of Columbus. He is said to be married and to have a beautiful little girl to show for it.

Friends of the genial Jeff (Abe) Robinson will be shocked to learn that he is working eight hours a day in his glass house in Toledo, Ohio. The erstwhile Ward MacAllister of W. R. Junction has forsaken his Deke vests for a drab house robe, and is frequently found at home in the evening playing with his little daughter.

John Martinez tells this one on his roommate Ernest Earley, the tireless insurance agent:—"Coming home at 3 or 4 A.M., as is his custom during the height of the social season, John heard the distant ticking of the old Big Ben. Search revealed it hung to the picture molding in a far corner of the room with a huge exhorting sign just below it bearing the slogan 'DON'T BE WEAK!' " Editorial comment is superfluous; write your own words. The insidious influence of Doc Crane and Orison Swett Marden is at last beginning to make itself felt among certain types of our young manhood.

The portly sunburned buoy of a man who stepped off the gang plank of a Fruit Line boat on to the trembling rim of Manhattan Island a few weeks ago was none other than Blimp Morey. He attained the distinction of being the first bona fide clerk to go south in the winter time for a vacation. The Blimp was accompanied by his bride of a month, who informed our reporter that she had the time of her life,—keeping Syl from looking "that way" at the Cuban beauties. The former motor truck salesman bulged in several newplaces on his arrival and was a, walking series of musical clinkings at every step. He was met by a large delegation of friends and tomers.

Pop Opper is now practicing law in New York city with the firm of Griffiths and Content. He admits it requires much practice to steer one's self into the right elevator at the Equitable labyrinth where he hangs his shingle.

We leave it to the expectant audience to make its own guesses as to what he has to announce.
