I believe comments in the Forum don’t allow users to post images so I will link to a scan here: Epilogue.

And here is the text:

Epilogue

I won’t say they were good boys after that. But, come to think of it, they had never really been bad boys. Just mischievous ones. They did maintain their good grades from then on, and they did behave well—sometimes.

However, I have no doubts as to the identity of the boys who put overalls on the statue of Sir John A. Macdonald that stands in front of Macdonald Hall. And I have strong suspicions that they were the same two who replaced my tuxedo with a judo suit on Founder’s Day. I am even inclined to believe that they were the ones who entered my name and photograph in the “Sexiest Man in Toronto” contest. (I shouldn’t complain: I won third prize and enjoyed a free dinner at the Royal York.)

Walton and O’Neal left Macdonald Hall three years ago—but I always know when they return for Founder’s Day. Each year the judo suit in my closet undergoes a slight change (which leads me to believe that my wife is their accomplice). I am happy to report that I have recently been promoted to Black Belt.
