THE SNUFF BOX ADVICE TO THE JUNIORS We, the Seniors, having attained our goal for which we have been judiciously studying for four long years, wish to confer this profound and sagacious advice on those generally termed Juniors in order that they may, in a far lesser degree, achieve our undisputed perfection : Emma, you aren’t the only one who knows anything. By the way, other people are always the only ones who are conceited. Gordon, if you spent your time in studying instead of carrying on these library romances, you might he more sure of graduating. Becky, show some of your executive ability; we know you have it. Don’t let your class walk over you! Let. even though you are quite massive, you don’t have to be the whole show. How about a new car next year? Lydia, fewer flirtations and more studying is the only tonic for your case. If you would burn more “midnight oil” instead of saving it for “the lamps of China,” we are sure that you would be a successful Senior. Polly, when in class, speak more and when out of school speak less. Also remember that boys aren’t everything. Joe K.. we advise you to pick someone nearer home. Imagine all the money you are wasting to send money to France. Margaret, you’ve been so quiet that we haven’t noticed many of your faults, hut we would like to remind you that there are five days of school each week. Eddie, speak up. You aren’t fooling us—we know you can talk. Oh. we almost forgot—don’t always be “hope”less. Mary and Anna A., remember the old proverb. “All work and no play—,” and give your textbooks a rest. Bob, keep in mind that a piano doesn’t make the whole orchestra and that Aquebogue isn’t the only place on the map. Studying is also prescribed for a Senior. Carol, there is a certain amount of work to he done in order to obtain the necessary fifteen units, so a little less “time out” would assist you in living up to the perfect ideals of a Senior. Waldemar, really, Waldv, your athletic ability astounds us. However, we advise you to set a few scholastic records, too. Jean, you seem to think chewing gum is a “buil”ding up exercise. Before you enter the dignified portals of the Senior Class, please modify your giggle. Mary S., how we envy your persistence! If you keep up your good work, you are sure to succeed. Bill, please change your humorous ways, because they are becoming very tiresome. Remember the “Morrell”, “Variety is the spice of life.” Al, what’s the matter? Are you afraid that something may 24

THE SNUFF BOX happen to Bill unless you are there to protect him? Ruth )., we advise you to turn your car north instead of west after dismissal in the afternoon. “Mac,” spinach is supposed to he very good for the constitution, but too much of one thing is as bad as none at all. Mary A., how about giving the boys a break instead of your school books? Walter K.. spend more time in getting your scholastic average above your batting average, instead of vice versa. Ruth O., you have shown us how well you navigate your “ship ’. Suppose next year you show us how to sail through the year with living colors. Bertha, it’s too bad you have only two thumbs because you can have them in only two pies at once. Surprise everyone next year and stick both of them in your studies. John C., “breezes” are very refreshing, but watch out for whirlwinds. We suggest that you give the local girls a break instead of traveling so far. Clem, chauffeuring is a good job but don’t do all your practising in a “Graham.” Madlyn, between bringing people to school and keeping people’s minds off school, there ought to be a happy medium. Thus, dear Juniors, it behooves you to follow this well-meaning and friendly advice if you wish to shine as brilliantly as your illustrious predecessors. LITTLE ANTARTICA Admiral Byrd and Peary, too, traveled far, I’m told. Each to find a spot on earth that was very, very cold. Never was I an explorer, nor journeys did I take, But I have found a local spot that should receive the cake. ’Tis the music room of Southold High that 1 am speaking of; Antartica compared with it is as hot as Mae est's love. When other rooms are nice and warm, with heat enough to spare, We pupils in the music room shake in the icy air. Every plan of warmth’s been tried, but nothing helps at all; There’ll be one consolation, though, for in the early fall September comes, a stifling month, whether we like it or not; Then we’ll delight in the cool music room, one place that isn’t hot! 25
