he Joseph Qase High School her the right at any time to enter the Third National Bank of Swansea and lock up her securities. 10. Edna Daniels —There are few people who possess the poise that Edna does. However, there is one thing that I feel would be an asset to her when she becomes Superintendent of nurses in Winchendon. Let me present you, Edna, with this lorgnette. 11. Rolande Dionne —One day Rolande decided to write some blank verse. It went like this: In the spring blank—blank—blank—, Birds are blank—blank—blank.” In order that she may have sufficient space in which to write her blank verse when she becomes a teacher, I present her with this blank notebook. 12. Eleanor Emery —When the subject of women folks comes up, many small towns (like Swansea) are ridiculed by such a metropolis as Fall River. This is because the women are supposed to be such gossipers. I find that our Class has but very few such people. Eleanor is certainly not like a small town girl when it comes to talking. I think that this paint brush, to be dipped in Nancy Baker s can of paint, will help Swansea to know that Eleanor is around. 13. Harold Emery —We have with us one who has great promises of becoming Swansea’s best carpenter. Harold excels in our wood-working depart¬ ment. It is a pleasure for me to present him with this spike, the first one to be driven in the bridge which will be erected under his super¬ vision across the Swansea dam in order that high school pupils coming from Swazey’s Corner will have a short cut to school. 14. Ruth Fisk —We now complete the trio of quiet girls in the class. In order that Ruth may be notorious some day, I present her with this box of safety matches in order that she may set the world on fire. 15. Alice Frenette —Alice is one of our star soloists. In order that she will be in condition at all times I present her with this box of Smith Brothers cough drops—for as you know, they are indispensable to opera singers. 16. Edna Hayes —Edna is in the habit of tooting her automobile horn every time she goes by a certain house in the village. I advise that in the future she give said horn a rest and try out this fish horn. 17. Barbara Hunt —As a thermometer is indispensable to one entering the nursing profession, I take this opportunity to give you this one—thus saving your purchasing one. 18. Esther Kingsley —When matters come to a head as they did when Robert Lawton accused Esther (during their presentation of the dialogue Page Twenty-nine

Record ook - Qlass of 1930 class (jifts 1. Eugene Adam—O ur first attempt to stage a play was in March, 1928. At that time Eugene played an important role. He had to be weighed as he entered a certain restaurant and weighed as he left—his bill was figured out on the basis of his gain in weight. In order to fool the waiter in regard to his weight he filled his pockets full of stones upon entering, and as he ate, he took a stone out of his pocket now and then and put it under the table. May I present you, Eugene, with these scales so that in the future you may weigh yourself as you finish each course ? 2. Nancy Baker —During the three years that Nancy has been in our school we have found her unlike most women’’. (For those who do not know Nancy I shall explain that she is very quiet and reserved.) I therefore deem it fitting to give her this can of red paint with the hope that some day she will step forth and paint the town red. 3. Augusta Barney —Augusta was one of our stars in the Glee Club operetta last year. While taking the part of Bridget O’Harrigan she said she could cook if she had a good cook book. I now take this opportunity to gratify that wish. 4. Constance Bell —Constance intends to become a dancing teacher — and judging from her act with Augusta Barney in last year’s operetta, she ought to be a success. There may be times, however, when a partner will be needed when she is trying out some new steps. Consequently I am glad to give her this dancing Sambo. 5. William Brindle — William is one of the artists in our class. Readers of our school paper have had many opportunities to see samples of his handiwork. He claims he would like to become a draftsman some dav. This T square may be of assistance to him when he draws up plans for a subway which will connect the high school with the library. 6. Sidney Callis —All great surgeons are called upon at times to perform very delicate operations. With such prospects in view, accept this little instrument in order to insure your success. 7. Elva Chace —At the Christmas party and dance Elva was seen dancing with a young man—oh, I guess, about ten feet high. In order that she may dance on an equal footing with this or any other young man of about the same height, I think this pair of stilts an appropriate present. 8. Russell Chace —Russell claims he would like to be a machinist. Before he begins tinkering with any new automobiles, I advise him to practice taking apart and putting together this one, until he masters the art. 9. Irma Cole—J udging from the number of organizations in Swansea of which Irma is treasurer, I feel that she should have this key to give Page Tiventy-eight

Edwin Krohn —As Edwin may some time survey the land to be used for the erection of the Swansea football stadium, I present him with this plumb line. 20. Hilma Lindberg —When riding along in the street car, one’s attention is often attracted to the numerous advertisements displayed therein. Hilma reminds us of one of those ads. I therefore give her this cake of Palmolive soap to keep that school girl complexion’’. 21. William Lindsey —William has a habit of saluting the other boys with a beautiful wallop . I am going to recommend that in the future he practice on this punching bag. 22. Loretta Lynch —It often happens that when a grammar school teacher loans her pencil to one of the pupils she never gets it back. In order to solve this difficulty—that is, so Loretta will always remember to whom she loaned her pencil—I am glad to let her have this one. 23 . Ruth Manchester—As Ruth is to enter Sargent’s School for Physical Education in September, she will probably get some kinks in her muscles at first. Therefore, accept this bottle of Sloan’s Liniment to relieve the situation. 24. Katherine Murphy— During the past three years there has been a great race going on in our school. It has been the subject of great discussion as to the outcome. Katherine wins by a slight margin over Connie Bell in our talking marathon. I therefore present her with this loving cup in token of her victory. 25. Elizabeth Peters —When Elizabeth becomes a nurse it will be necessary for her to have a reliable time-piece in order that she may take the pulse accurately. It is with pleasure I give her this wrist watch. 26. Harold Thompson —Some day Harold hopes to become a son of the sea. This compass may help him to pilot his ship unerringly on the bleachery pond. 27. Undergraduates—R epresenting the Class of 1930 I give you the task of carrying on and keeping the name of the Joseph Case High School ever honorable. 28. Faculty Members —I have been appointed by the class of 1930 to be sure to express to you our sincerest gratitude for your never failing assistance in helping us to solve our many problems. Classmates, I trust that you will all cherish these valuable presents which I have bestowed upon you, and that you will always remember the first Santa Claus in Joseph Case High School. Hamilton M.
