Faculty disengages itself from the drapes . . . Everyone is looking at the statue in breathless silence.
FATHER GONZALEZ: “Mother of God!”
THE MAN from TIME :” I don’t believe it.”
Daily news:”It’s nothing but fruity:”
Chorus of whistles from the boys.
A monumental creation in shiny pink stone stands revealed as the dust settles. A naked boy is bending over a sleeping comrade with evident intention to waken him with a flute. One hand is holding the flute, the other reaching for a piece of cloth draped over the sleeper’s middle. The cloth bulges suggestively. Both boys wear a flower behind the ear, identical expressions, dreamy and brutal, depraved and innocent. This creations tops a limestone pyramid on which is inscribed in letters of porcelain mosaic-pink and blue and gold- the school motto “With it and for it.”
A.J. lurches forward and breaks a champagne bottle across the boy’s taut buttocks.
“And remember,boys that’s where champagne comes from.”

Manhattan Serenade.A.J. and entourage start into New York night club. A.J. is leading a purple-assed baboon on a gold chain. A.J. is dressed in checked linen plus fours with a cashmere jacket.
MANAGER:” Wait a minute. Wait a minute. What’s that?”
A.J. :”It’s an Illyrian poodle. Choicest beast a man can latch onto. It’ll raise the tone of your trap.”
MANAGER: “I suspect it to be a purple-assed baboon and it stands outside.”
