iM morabtUa By the work one knows the workman HOWARD JOSEPH ALZAPIEDI “Al” “Howie” College Course Inter-Class Football 1, 2, 3; Inter-Class Track Meet 2, 3 “Howie” is a very likeable chap, not only among his fellow students but also among the fair sex. Of course many of you have been into Battista’s Barber Shop and have seen the good looking fellow there, well that’s “Howie.” There isn’t a dull moment when he is around because he’s just the kind who is always starting something. The fact that he works does not hinder him in his school work, because he walks home with a bunch of testimonials every quarter. Did you ever hear of sharpshooter Alzapiedi? Here “Howie” is again in the first rank. Although our hero has seen quite a few pheasants, he most generally is very kind-hearted and lets them fly off. “Howie’s” chief big game is rabbits and rats. Without doubt we will soon read in the “Daily Item” about Howard Alza- piedi spending his vacation in Africa or some of our wild suburbs among big- game. “But there is one thing,’’ says “Howie,” “chat makes my life unpleasant and that’s the fact that my mother won’t let me read ‘Love Sories’!” Can you believe that ? We understand that “Al” is going to continue his education and we know that he will succeed. Moreover the sincerest wish for success in the future is given to him by his classmates.

mi ' uuinihilui ODppurtuuity With doubt and dismay you are smitten You think there’s no chance for you, son? Why, the best books haven’t been written. The best race hasn’t been run. The best score hasn’t been made yet. The best song hasn’t been sung. The best tune hasn’t been played yet. Cheer up, for the world is young! No chance? Why the world is just eager For things that you ought to create: Its store of true wealth is still meager Its needs are incessant and great; It yearns for more power and beauty. More laughter and love and romance. More loyalty, labor and duty; No chance? Why there’s nothing but chance! For the best verse hasn’t been rhymed yet. The best house hasn’t been planned. The highest peak hasn’t been climbed yet, ' Phe mightiest rivers aren’t spanned. Don’t worry and fret, faint-hearted The chances have just begun. For the Best jobs haven’t been Started The Best work hasn’t been done! — BERTON BRALEY C 2 17

A. 2, 3, 4 Our next attraction is Florence Anastas. “Flossie” was not known to us in our Freshman year as she had attended the High School of Manchester, New Hampshire, but she quickly acquired many friends (of both sexes). We wonder if that is where she got her “Manchesteronian” ideas of study? Have you heard her “wobble” off History? Well, you certainly missed something, for all records are certainly broken as regards to speed and knowledge of what she is talking about; and she certainly knows her “dates.” “Flo” is always ready to give a helping hand to her classmates, especially jii H istory. She is particularly fond of Stenography. “Flossie” is always careful to get to her classes on time and she is often seen urging her chums to hurry along. As a result of her hurrying, a few free trips down some stairs was the outcome. “Flossie” is the only “doughnut girl” in C. H. S. Now we know why the “Doughnut Shop” is patronized by so many customers who are always greeted with a cheery smile. “Flo” is quite an athlete and never misses any athletic games if she can help it (but we know why!) Another of Florence’s hobbies is to ride around the town in her “Lizzie.” Florence has been taking up a business course and she intends to continue her studies at a business school. We sincerely hope that a position worthy of her abilities will await her when she starts her career. 1929 19
