''Senior Embry Larkin--
:11:09
''winner of the Leonard Bernstein
Award for Original Composition--
:11:13
''stood up before his
latest theatrical production
:11:16
Trip-Hop Inferno
:11:20
and lacerated the audience
for their attendance.''
:11:27
He flipped off 200 people
:11:29
and disappeared three weeks
before graduation.
:11:32
He was already
Summa Cum Laude
:11:34
and he says,
''Screw you and your degree.''
:11:37
lt was exceedingly theatrical
and standard Embry.
:11:41
What was standard about it?
:11:42
Dropped out twice--
:11:44
once to work on some
archeological dig in Cambodia...
:11:48
once to work in a factory.
:11:51
l expect him to pop up
running La Scala
:11:54
or the Berlin Opera.
:11:56
What a guy.

Thesis?
:12:03

We're actually looking
to beef up our Tech Practice
:12:11
but then you probably
already knew that.
:12:13
So...

''Katherine Burke...''
:12:17
who are you?
:12:18
Where do you come from?
:12:20
l grew up
in the middle of nowhere.
:12:22
The birthplace
of Wendell Willkie
:12:23
is 20 miles away,
and that's about it.
:12:25
My mom works in a bottling plant
and sells Nutra-Life products
:12:29
and my dad left
when l was little.
:12:31
l never really knew him.
:12:32
Hmm.
:12:37
Tell us about a problem
you've encountered.
:12:39
My guidance counselor tried
:12:41
to keep me from applying
to good schools.
:12:43
l thought she was my friend.
:12:45
She said she understood me
:12:46
and that l would be happier
staying close to home--
:12:49
junior college
or secretarial school.
:12:51
She hated me.
:12:52
What action did you take?
:12:54
l invited a senator
who attended college here
:12:56
to speak at our school.
:12:57
And what was the result?
:12:59
l got a strong letter
of recommendation
