RUTH ABBOTT CLASS GIFTS Rope In English class, Ruthie’s inclined, Someone’s place to take; This rope will tie her to her chair, So mixups she’ll not make. VALENTINA AGNOL1 This chair and table you can use, When noon time comes around; So when you go to our lunch room A place will soon be found. CHARLES ARDIZONI Every current event, Charlie seems to know; Here are more newspapers, To help his knowledge grow. NELLIE BARDEN On the Ag’wam River, Canoeing you do go; A row-boat would be safer, If stronger winds should blow. NORMA BEST We know you wait for someone, To bring you home each day; Here’s a jig-saw puzzle, To pass the time away. DOROTHY BROWN Dot, you’re always wearing, A letter from West Side; Take this letter “A”, As a token of Agawam’s pride. JOHN BUCKLEY The school days on this calendar, Are brightly marked in green; Absent excuses will be of no use, For the days can easily be seen. MARTHA BURNETT Martha enjoys all the sports, And follows Agawam around; Here’s a pass to all the games. In which your Malcolm’s found. ELMER CASCIO If you should lose your pretty curls, ’Twould really be a crime; A bottle of curling fluid. Will aid you anytime. ANITA CESAN If ever Anita’s hair were mussed, To her ’twould be a disgrace; A mirror will help to let her know, If any are out of place. Chair and Table Newspapers Row-boat Jig-saw Puzzle Letter “A” Calendar Pass Curling fluid Mirror Page Twenty-Six

Well, Eimer Cascio, the Studio Manager, and Elsie Schultz and Rose Pedulia, the program directors, are giving me the high sign. So after telling you that this program comes to you through the courtesy of the Parisienne Gown Shop run by Anita Cesan and Blanche Couture, I’ll say “Make the most of today,” and so long until tomorrow. Frank: Well, that’s over for another night. Say, what are you girls doing now? Mary: I’ve got an hour and a half until my plane leaves. Beaulah: I haven’t anything in particular to do. Joe: And I’ve got to get my interview for tomorrow’s edition. Frank: Then while Beulah and Mary wait in here, Josephine, 1 will give you the interview in my office, and then what do you say we go out to dinner? M ary Beaulah: Fine! But where? Joe Frank: Well, I understand Madge Haynes, the dietitian, and Barbara Halladay have opened a new restaurant. It sounds pretty good. Mary: Say, that’s the place where Alfred Davis is head waiter. Mr. Williams surely trained him right. Frank: Then we’ll meet in here in fifteen minutes. So long. Mary. Beulah: O. K. We’ll be there! Josephine (Frank and Josephine exit.) Mary: You know Beulah, I was over to Agawam High School last week and whom do you suppose I saw? Beulah: Well, I heard Marguerite Tatro has accepted a position in the Music Department to succeed Miss Perry. Mary: Yes, I saw her, and did you know Cecilia Grasso was there too in Mr. Hadley’s place as head of the Science Department? I guess they couldn’t get along without the class of ’33, because Dot Geoffrion and Rita Provost, refusing to break their long partnership, are back as teachers of French and Latin, respectively. Beulah: I saw Anna Piazzo last week. She’s head of the Art Department. She told me that Elsie Johnson and Barbara Grout had opened a kindergarten for children of Agawam graduates. Mary: 1 was on my way out of the school at 3:00 o’clock and a big school bus nearly hit me. Guess who it was?—It was Ralph D’Amato. He told me that he and Paul had taken Louis De Palma’s job away. Of course, you know that Miss Mclntire has accepted a position as instructor of Shorthand at Bay Path, and Lucille Danforth and Mary Kalinowski have replaced her at Agawam. Beulah: Gee, there certainly are a lot of our class back in school. Well, here’s Frank and Josephine. Frank: Well, here we are girls. All ready. Both: Sure we are. Frank: Well, come on, the taxi is waiting, and I’m famished.—(Exit.) Page Twenty-Five MARY TATRO, FRANK GOSS.
