The ship’s stewardess, Dorothy Henderson and her assistant Bertha Frigon, should also be congratulated for their efficiency. In fact the zeppelin could be called the hotel of the air.

Higgins Junior High School, of the Town of Thompsonville, State of Connecticut, U. S. A., we, the members of the law firm of Walizki and Eomano, have called you together upon this solemn and serious occasion, to listen to her last will and testament, and to receive from her dying hand the few gifts she has to bestow. On the very verge of death, with so many things of such gigantic proportions to be attended to before the end should come upon her, she, the Class of 1936, collectively and individually, deem it best to distribute these gifts with her own hands to those friends to whose needs they seem best fitted. The Class of 1936 has tried to be just as well as generous, and to give wisely unto those who will make the best use of such gifts. The Class of 1936 begs us to state that, owing to the flighty condition of her brain and the haste and confusion of her dying hours, she may quite pos- sibly have been mistaken in her inven- tory; but such things as she thinks she has, she hereby gives into your posses- sion, praying that you will accept them as a sacred trust from one who has gone before. Listen, then, one and all, while I read the document, as duly drawn up and sworn to: “We, the Class of 1936, of the Alvin D. Higgins Junior High School, being about to pass from this sphere of edu- cation, make and publish this, our last will and testament. “And first we do direct that our funeral services shall be conducted by our principal and his all-wise and ever- competent faculty, who have been our guardians for so long, only asking, as the last request of the dying, that the funeral be carried on with all the dignitv and pomp that our worth, our merit, our attainments, and cur position must cer- tainly have deserved. “We make the following bequests: 1.

HIGGINS SCHOOL ORCHESTRA —Photo by Brown TATLER STAFF — Photo by Brown The Tatler ICnpl ' ' Valedictory Essay We graduates have chosen for our motto “Be Loyal ’ which, if faithfully put into practice, will surely help us to be successful in whatever vocation we may choose. It was evident, when the time came for us to vote for a motto, that almost all the members of our class, without any hesitation, selected “Be Loyal.” Why was this particular motto so popular? Our choice of these words shows that we as a class admire loyalty and, that as individuals, we wish to develop this quality in the years to come. In school we have seen and appreciated many evidences of loyalty. We have made loyal friends, and we have seen boys and girls who have unfailingly shown their loyalty to thq Higgins School by doing their best in the class- rooms, in athletics, in student council, and in all other school activities. This fine spirit of loyalty not only has helped our school but it has also made these loyal boys and girls the most useful and successful members of our class. As we begin to think what kind of work we would like to do, and what necessary training is required for that particular vocation, we should consider how our motto can help us to attain success in our future v erk. If we ex- amine the lives of many great men who, after years of hard work, reached high positions, we would find that loyalty was one of the outstanding characteristics which contributed to their success. The late Andrew Carnegie, one of America’s greatest philanthropists, showed by his example the importance of loyalty in a man’s work. Beginning as a weaver’s assistant in a cotton fac- tory, he was quickly advanced by pro- motions which _ were due largely to loyalty. He was often quoted as saying, “A person who is loyal to his work will go far.” Above all, Carnegie was loyal to his ideals. He believed in and worked for world peace, and when he became wealthy, he proved his loyalty to this ideal by contributing huge sums of money to promote friendship between nations. He believed in education, and because he was loyal to this ideal also, millions of people now enjoy the benefits of education through schools and libraries which he founded. Thus we see that Carnegie’s service to the world was prompted by this spirit of loyalty to what he believed to be right. As a result of our study of the various fields of work, the members of our class have become interested in many different vocations in which they hope to accom- plish much. Edgar Guest gives us some good practical advice on finding a job. He says,, “Look for a job with a future ahead. Seek a chance to grow greater and greater. Seek a place where you know as you work you will grow. And the money will come to you later.” Classmates, whatever field of work we choose, whether it be professional service, business, industry, agriculture, personal or public service, let us remember to “Be Loyal” in everything we do; let us show loyalty not only to our work, but also to our home, our friends, our church, and cur country. The time has come for us, the gradu- ating Class of 1936, to leave the A. D. Higgins School. It is my privilege to speak for the class, and in parting to express cur appreciation for all that our parents, our school principal, Mr. Davis, and our teachers have done for us. Even though our associations with the Higgins School must come to an end, we will long remember and cherish happy memories of our schooldays here. We knew that your interest will follow us, and we hope lhat whatever Ave do will bo an honor to the Higgins School. In say- ing farev ell, we pledge ourselves to be ever-loyal alumni. We v ill try to show our gratitude for the education received here by continuing to do our best in future years, so that you may always be proud of the Class of 1936. Robert Fay.

Here is our history — ah, listen and attend! Backward — forward — hear it all and boast of it, When you have come with us from the beginning through the end. Early in September, 1934, there en- tered A. D. Higgins Junior High, 181 be- wildered and timid pupils. The first part of the year was spent in becoming ac- quainted with each other and in over- coming our awe of so many different teachers and upper classmen. Our next step toward becoming worth- while members of the school was when we elected members of our various divi- sions to represent us in student council meetings. As we began to feel at home in the Junior High, many of us became ac- quainted with detention slips. A fe v of our classmates represented us on the school athletic teams and made us very proud of them. Most of us acquitted ourselves fairly well in our final examinations and looked forward to a pleasant year as upper classmen. With an air of sophistication, we re- turned to school to find new pupils groping about trying to accustom them- selves to their new environment. Our first official act as members of the graduating class was the election of stu- dent council officers: President, Helen Kot; Vice-President, Teddy Dojka; Sec- retary, Bertha Frigon. In our annual magazine drive, which was won by the Army under the leader- ship of Robert Fay, we helped the school treasury quite a bit. Incidentally, we proved our fine salesmanship. We had two ver y instructive lectures during the fall, one by Miss Julia Doyle, describing very vividly her experiences as a state representative, and the other by Dr. Carl Scavatto on the care of the teeth. Our civics and hygiene classes were aided in a large way by these in- teresting talks. Mr. I)avis spoke to us on the value of peace, as a part of an Armistice assembly. We enjoyed it immensely. Several other worthwhile and educat- ing programs were given during our assembly periods, including a story of Lincoln by Mr. Lee of the High School faculty, movies by Mr. Lyons, and sev- eral programs depicting the various holi- days which occurred during the year. We gave two successful public enter- tainments. An operetta, “And It Rained,’ which displayed our ability in a musical way, was given in the High School audi- torium before a large audience. A May Festival was an innovation which was greatly enjoyed. This con- sisted of a one-act play, a short concert by the Glee Club and a style show. This was the first time our new stage was used. The girls of the domestic science de- partment displayed their culinary ability by serving a delicious Valentine tea to the teachers’ association. We had fewer clubs than usual this year. There were clubs in photographv. ieathercraft, and music. Mrs. Magill gave very generously of her time to come to our school and help with the clubwork. Our athletic teams had a successful year. The boys’ basketball team was captained by George LaGrange, and the girls’ by Nellie Swiattowski. Harry Mangerian led the boys’ baseball team, and Norma Allen, the girls’ team. Miss Angelica coached the girls as usual. We were proud of all our teams. An interesting event was the spelling contest, which was won by Ida Porcello of 8B2. We hope that this match will become annual. The last part of the year was most exciting. We chose the following class officers: President, Robert Fay; Vice- President, Charles Misuraca; Secretary, Dorothea Gates; Treasurer, Gladys Garstka. As soon as our class was or- ganized we held a meeting and chose Mue and silver for our class colors, red rose for our flower, and “Be Loyal” for our motto. Various individual and group pictures were taken, we received our class pins, honor pupils were announced, and we received our graduation Tatlers. Excitement reached a still higher pitch during our last month as members of the school. We bade farewell to the seventh graders on Class Day. Then the goal for which we had been working for two long years arrived. Mr. Parkman presented us with our diplomas and wished us success. Last but not least, we went to Mt. Tom for our annual picnic. Needless to say, a good time was had by all. We are now staid, dignified persons, who naturally feel ourselves worthy ex- amples of ideal graduates. We are eager to leave school, but there is little doubt that in a few years, many of us will A. D.

Higgins Orchestra Marshalls: Barbara Magill, Gino Santan- dreau, Grade 7 This year the Higgins School entered teams, both boys and girls, in the North- ern Connecticut Grammar School Base- ball and Basketball Leagues. The basketball teams, under the coach- ing of Leo Nosal and Miss Angelica, came through a successful season. Although the boys were all new to the game, they all played well, but were not able to outpoint the more seasoned team of Poquonock, who won the cup. The boys’ baseball team has thus far played five games and lost one, which leaves them in the running for the league championship. The players num- ber sixth, seventh and eighth grade pupils. The players are Gizara, Man- gerian, Johnston, Scalia, DeMayo, Granger, Petersen, Ludwin, Dorescenza, Fede, Bania and King. Coach, Mr. Davis. Boy’s intra-mural baseball has started and so far 8A-8B have come out vic- torious. The girls’ team was one of the strong- est teams that Higgins has had. They played hard and lost only two games during the season. The players were Ernestine Albano, Emily Kalwa,. Nellie Swiattowski, Helen Kot, Malvina Polec, Jean Bartley, Norma Allen, Barbara Magill, Viola Typronsay, Lillian Zacaro, Marion Purdy and Amelia Duda. The girls’ baseball team is made up of the following players: Malvina Polec, Ernestine Albano, Nellie Swiattowski, Lillian Zacaro, Norma Allen, Bertha Ludwin, Evelyn O’Brien, Rose Zirolli, Jean Bartley, Ann Eagleson, Ernestine Olivier and Ruth Vivier. The Tatler Prizes The members of the graduating Class of 1936 are eligible for several prizes, generously given by individuals and or- ganizations. Two prizes will be given in memory of the late Alvin D. Higgins, for pupils attaining the highest rank in scholarship. One prize of fifteen dollars given to the highest and five dollars to the pupil ranking next. The highest honor pupil will have his name engraved on the scholarship plaque in the school corridor and will receive a key. Two prizes of five dollars each given by the Woman’s Club of Enfield to the pupils ranking highest in Mathematics and English. A citizenship medal, appropriately en- graved will be presented to the pupil who best exemplifies the characteristics of a good citizen. This medal is given through the generosity of the National Society Daughters of the American Rev- olution.
