Hut after all, Seniors, you are so dumb. if all of you come back and take a postgrad- uate course you may acquire half of the knowledge that we already possess. Once in a while you get down to work and accomplish something. After you graduate, if you work hard you may become efficient ditch-diggers or mill-workers. But you have all our good wishes for success and shall always have our help. May you win fortune and fame, Class of '31, you deserve it. TOML lVQRY Who's Who in 1941 According to the will of Fate, the Class of 1931 is destined to become one of the most remarkable ones in the history of Norwich High. Below are the names of those who have acquired niches in the Hall of Fame. Misses Hill, Case, Simmons and Thompson are running the Pancake Palace for Palpitating Palates. Eva Barnes is owner of a chain of Soda-fountains which are scattered throughout the country. Clifford Lawton, author of the best seller, Advantages of Being Single, is resting as comfortably as can be expected after the attack made on him by his wife. formerly Elean- or Stager. Charles Lyons is Tanner in the E. J. Shoe Factory. Annabell Brennan owns a beauty shop in New York. She recently invented a face- lifter. guaranteed to lift any map on the market. Joseph lJougherty's rubber bullets are used extensively in gang warfare. He was re- cently awarded a medal by the Prevention of Cruelty to Dumb Gangsters Society. A Margaret Kelly and Alura Holliday have started a tea-room. lt is called Ve Squirm- ing Lizard. Marian Rourke is successfully running a kangaroo farm in Australia.

Marian Redmond and Mary llrooks are telling of their thrilling encounter with a bar- racuda. lt seems that when they were attacked Mary stalled the monster by trying to per- suade him that he should buy on the installment plan.

Yo squad l would suggest the following for the tirst team: lfrederick McMullen, Captaing I'ete Anderson, Mutt Yarrington, Lester Burchard, Carp Rowe, Ralph Browning, Lena Irving, and Lillian Fuller, and as substitutes the rising young lovers, Grant llacon and Mar- jorie lloyd. Witli this line-up you should at least win the third prize. Snap out of it, all you unconscious Undnrgracls! llonlt give up, have a little pity for Norwich Hi. Vyhenever you feel down and out, as you often do, just Lie a Little String Around Your lfinger So You'll Remember .the Senior Class of 1931 I lf you follow this advice of the senior class, we guarantee that you will be successful. VINCENT SMITH Undergraduates Reply After four years of bedlam and disorder, this school will soon be back to normal. As soon as the class of 1931 has graduated, the efficient undergraduates will strive to right the mistakes and follies that the class of l93l has committed. Norwich High School is emerging from a period of ignorance and disorder to one of knowledge and success. WU: shall be able to accomplish many great things when the study halls are quiet. This term we have been constantly disturbed by the foolish antics of such prominent Seniors as Mar- garet Russell, Hayes Steinhauser and Robert Rafferty. Seniors cannot even bear the members of their own class. Ask Vincent Smith why he doesn't stop into the house next door any more on his way to school. Wlhy even john llyrne picks his girls from the undergraduates. Jean Paquette knows quite a bit about john. lfVe undergraduates usually choose our friends from our own group but occasionally a Senior such as Red Rourke succeeds in leading astray a light-headed Sophomore. W'e constantly hear that Rosemary Griliin, Mary Byrne and liac Simmons are trying to cast their spell over certain Colgate boys but so far they have not met with a great meas- ure of success. VVe would suggest that when any Senior contemplates making a journey to the NENV KENMORE in Albany, as two Seniors did, that they make their date with local boys. And now to the perfect lovers, Ron and Margaret. If this 11ew cream gives you the skin you love to touch, then that accounts for Ron being seen up on North Broad Street at such late hours. From a well-known authority on Piano Street it is learned that Cliff 1-5 doing as well as can be expected of a broken down athlete of the Senior class. We under-- stand that lletty Williams and Ed Gabler are trying to double for Greta Garbo and john Gilbert. Joe lloughtery has Dunne some-thing that most boys haven't. Some of the Seniors have tried to ensnare a prominent Sophomore, namely, Betsy Hartigan, with their charms but let us undergraduates give you a tip, lletsy reserves her-- self solely for postgraduates. Janet certainly is in a tix. She doesn't know whether to be or not to be. 'llhat is, Whether to be Cookie's girl or not to be. Hut then perhaps some of the Oneonta girls might have something to say about that, eh! Larry. Rumor has it that unless Marian steps on it a ce1'tain lane of the Juniors will have her star of the baseball team. XYe hope that Mary Hartigan gets her Lily from Fulton this summer and Kay 'l'hompson learns to write poetry about Spring.
