vvv vvrwvvvv vvvwvv Advice to Juniors After a careful, detailed study of the limitations of the ,lunior Class, and also considering the important position they are soon to fill, We, the indefatigable Class of l932, wish to give these very small, choice bits of advice, and have them accepted with the same relish with which they are delivered. lt is fitting and proper that we should begin with the president of the class, a fascinating, responsible young man, Thomas R. Doyle. Come, Thomas, abandon the Happer droop and, when you walk, put determina- tion in every step-just as if you were going somewhere! Of course we realize the humiliation your public tumble at New Hartford must have cost you, but an inferior- ity complex must never be a part of a Senior's construction. Our next contribution falls to the lot of Pearle Roberts. Pearle, we would sug- gest that you sever all relations with a certain young Cook Academy male. Next year, he will be in N. Y. U., and you must necessarily become accustomed to his ab- sence before entering the Senior Class. Lovelorn ladies find no sympathy there. To Susie Vleck and Lloyd Smith. we would say, Snap out of it, Seniors have no time for rendezvous or love notes. We advise Marion Brennan, also, to alter her method of perambulation. A dig- nified senior doesnit slouchl Show by your outward demeanor that you are some- one! We are confident that Charlotte Terry will make an excellent Senior if only she will outgrow her giggles. Betty Lane, at present, is suffering from a very severe ease of puppy love, how- ever, by next September she will have forgotten her foolish fancy, and will occupy the Senior Class with grace befitting it. Maxine Rice, we would advise you to procure some awake up tonic. Act bored if you must, but you'll have no time for drowsing. We have little fault to find with Irene Berry. Perhaps, however, a little added austerity would be to her advantage. A Senior mustn't be too gracious. Thelma Hughes, you must abandon your Cleopatra-ish practices. Trifling with hearts and Senior work just won't mix. Joyce Randall, we beseech you to cease philandering among under-class men. You must consider the dignity of the position you are to fill. Frederick Brunner has all the outward earmarks of a successful Senior. .lust it wee bit more studying and a few less women, Freddy, and you'll have nothing to ear. To Carl Cook, we would say, ride your little cycle as much as possible this year. lt wilt be your last chance for quite awhile since, certainly, no Senior would aspire to suc a mount. Kenneth Lally, a blush is a very refreshing sight in this day and age, but next year, Ken, leave the blushes to the freshmen, it just isn't being done by the best of Seniors. i' N 1 -: Leland Kemp, a trifle more sophistication added to your present studiousness, and you'll go over big. George Fusek, we firmly believe, is on his way to stardom in the Senior Class. Therefore, we merely say, ulVlore power to you, Ceorgefi Vincent Evans is in need of a bit more individuality. We would suggest that HVinnie, however, be chosen to head all festive committees in tl1e'future. He's sure a fun lover. To June Draheim, we say, lay off that 'gl donit carew cloak, we all know you do and besides, to be a correct and successful Senior, you must care! -,,4,.--Yl:- --,,xx gA-x5,L,-:if:Y:VAlxxAA4A-,xx xxxxxxx A-

vvvvvvrvvwvvvvvrvvvv v'vv'vvvvv vvvvvvvv To Frank Gibbons, we would suggest that he make a great big attempt to over- come his shyness. A shy Senior is not one to be admired or envied. Olive Berry, your Msavoir faire is very distinguished, we grant you, but a trifle more interest in your fellow-mates will make you a more creditable Senior. I will now inscribe Hhnisn to my little epistle and close with sincere hopes for success of the Senior Class of '33, Perhaps you may hnd my advice a bit raw, but after all, isnit it best, at such critical occasions to be candid? Au Revoir et Bon Voyage! Theresa Westmoreland, 332.
