14 B. F.A.Mercury 0 A DVI C E T CD UIXIDERGRADUATES During the past four years, the members of the graduating class of 1956, through attention to duty and application of untiring and diligent efforts, have acquired learning, knowledge, and sophistication. Now, as we are about to leave, we are happy to comply with the long established custom of passing on to you the benefits of our many pleasant experiences, with the hope and expectation that you may derive some help from our suggestions. So we advise the following: To the Freshmen-You came to us last fall from various sources, wide-eyed, wide-mouthed, naive and gullible, yet we had hope for you and our faith in you has been justified, and if you will continue to emulate the class of 1956, as we strongly advise you to do, you may hope one day to reach the pinnacle to which you should aspire. To the Sophomores-We suggest that time has now arrived in your life when childish excuses for your strange and animal like actions, can no longer be accepted. You are entering the group known as upper-classmen, and therefore we advise you to conform to the accepted standards of behavior. To the juniors-The time has finally come for you to do away with your bubble gum and giddy ways, so that you may take on the dignity of Seniors. We also wish to advise certain individuals as follows: 1. Peanut McFeeters and Norman Duquet-te, et some elevator shoes so ou won't et 8 Y S trampled on next year. 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Judy Wood and Bob Streeter, keep on being a lovely duet. Paul Bilodeau, even though you have dated a queen, please don't forget B.F.A.'s poor peasant girls. Mary Ellen Gillespie, come out of the fog. Brian Wilson, stop charming the girls with your Hirting glances. Linda. Soule, prepare for a dull activity period next year. Sandra. Rath, confine your acting to the stage. Greg Pierce, please waiting any longer, give'm a break. donit keep the girls Deanie Paquette, in nomic distress on the opening day of foot- ball practice in the past, we advise you this year to take utums for your tummy . View of your gastro- Syloia Leduc, get a good alarm clock next year to get you to school on time. You wonit have your sister, Lorry. And now a bit of poetry: Oh, please Dick Ready, donit stay home, Get out with the girls and start to roam. writers-BEVERLY CLARK AND ALAN SYLVESTER class night presentation- Sn'm1.1f:Y Co1'A AND ALAN Sxmvnsrnn
