Jfarehjell I could turn very eloquent, But I’ll only say a word or two To show that I appreciate And that you’ve earned my gratitude. How can I thank my teachers? And my professors too? They’ve done so much for my own good. It was they who put me through. I’ll remember, always their kind help, How they prepared us with their knowledge; They studied with us, and played some too, But then that’s the way—in college. I’ll miss you all, I know that well, After what we’ve been through together, I’ll miss my books and college fun, Those ties cannot be severed. I’ll do justice to my college years, I’ll work hard till I succeed, My one regret is that the years are done But my knowledge shall be my creed. But all good things come to an end And my heart aches to leave For my school has come to be my friend And inwardly I grieve. This old school I’ve called my home, My teachers were my brothers, The boys in class have been my pals, Now I must leave them for others. All I can say is a fond farewell. What shall the next line be? But good luck, God bless you, and as I go I leave a tear drop behind me. Sac Guida, ’32 Twenty-six

We shall strive to maintain those ideals preached by you in real life. Sal Guida, Historian t Twenty-five

Once more, Who would not be a boy?” “Frenchy” thought it fit to take up pharmacy after graduating from Joliette College in Canada. One is in- clined to believe that the reason for the change is a certain blonde nurse at the Albany Hospital. George E. Auger “Speed,” “Doc” Cohoes, New York Handball, Cross Country (1), Baseball. “Example is always more Efficacious than precept.” Here is a youngster whose speed mania is in perfect accordance with the proverbial Tempus Fugit. How- ever, “Speed changes to a turtle gait when confronted with Botanical Origins. Hyman Avnet “I-Ty” Kingston, New York Basketball (1, 2, 3), Baseball, Captain Track (1, 2), Cross Country. “Silence is deep as Eternity, Speech is shallow as Time.” “Hy,” a silent, meek, unassuming son of Kingston, is one of our outstanding basketball stars as well as a backgammon fan.
