school and be no longer looked down on as the most insignificant students in school. Item: The right to feel happy for they will no longer have to stay up late at night trying to imitate the ovals and letters of the Palm- er and Zaner Methods. Item : The right to be proud since after a year’s practice they can surpass some of the present sen- iors in the art of penmanship. Item : The privilege of seeing their names more often in the “Cub” joke department for their poor attemps at translating foreign languages. Item : The advantage of having cov- ers on their desks to protect them from stray blackboard erasers and also the eyes of the teacher. To the Sophomores : Item : The right to supply class rings to the rest of the school and cause disturbances by dropping them on the floor. Item : Our sincere wish they do not have to take seniors to fill out the places of the bashful junior boys in the Grand March, at their Junior Prom. Item : The honor of decorating the town hall for the graduation ex- ercises. Item : The right to become more dignified and have chapel with with the seniors. To the Juniors: Item : The right to be seniors and find they have but one more bar to break away to escape from their prison and be free to travel on the road to success.

To William Angelos, the right to be instrumental in reducing the amount of tardiness by devising some method of waking the stu- dents on his early morning rounds. To Jarvis Appleton, the right to torture others after having been tortured and tormented for three years himself. To Barbara Bickerton, our advice that she write a book on “The Dangers of a Chemistry Labora- tory” since she has had a great many narrow escapes there. To Elizabeth Boynton, two stop signs to be placed at each end of a short street where she may learn to drive without endanger- ing the lives of the public.

To Fred Casali, a seat beneath the ventilator and we hope that he will not hereafter have to take his collar and necktie off in mid- winter.

was another I met in New York. A slim, stylish figure came up to me in a restaurant whom I had diffi- culty in recognizing. She is an in- structor in a new gymnasium where all modern methods in reducing and ways to preserve beauty are taught. We ate together and talked of old acquaintances. To my great surprise Trafford Morong is a penmanship teacher. That is something I could never believe. She told me Thelma Bailey is a fashion designer in Paris. She is very much interested in her work but why shouldn’t she be when it takes her to Paris where she can see all the bright lights and fash- ions she always liked so well ? Irene Woleyko is in New York, too. We went down to see her in her candy shoppe. There she entertains her friends and treats them all as naturally as she used to in Room IV. We went to the theatre in the evening and on the program I saw John Goodhue’s name. I remem- bered he was something of a come- dian in school but never thought he could make such a good appearance in vaudeville. He has the reputa- tion Will Rogers once had. I haven’t seen any daily articles by him yet, but I have seen one column “Confidential Chats,’’ by our own classmate, Evelyne Johnson. She used to hold them in her corner in Room IV. Ciolek — You seem to have heard from many of our old friends. Do you know anything about Bob Cole and Bob Elwell- The last time I saw them they were traveling sales- men like myself. Here’s hoping they’re doing as much selling as they are traveling. Of course you have heard of Francis Connor. He’s back in old Erin and has won a big name for himself in the Irish School of Drama. Emerson — There. I guess your nails are finished. Don’t they shine ? Ciolek — They surely do. You’ve become quite a manicurist and I’ve enjoyed our meeting a lot. I hope you’re here when I come again. It’s time I was on my way. Emerson — I have enjoyed it too. Don’t forget me when you’re down this way again. Goodbye. Ciolek — Goodbye. — Maude Emerson — Theodore Ciolek. CLASS WILL Be it remembered that we, the class of 1928 of Ipswich in the Com- monwealth of Massachusetts being of sound mind and memory, but knowing the uncertainty of this life, do make this our last will and testa- ment, hereby revoking all former wills by us at any time heretofore made. After the payment of our just debts and funeral charges, we be- queath and devise as follows: To the Pupils of M. H. S. : Item : The necessary automatic blinkers, traffic lights, and traffic officers to relieve the traffic con- gestion going to and coming from chapel. Item : To the Physics Class, the necessary apparatus to count the number of vibrations the school building makes on a windy day. Item : The right to buy the neces- sary materials and build a new school building. If you don’t the students will be still hoping for one in 1940. Item : To the chemistry and physics students a set of new thermom- eters to replace those that certain members of the present senior class blew up to the ceiling when, carelessly, they forgot to anchor one end. Item: The privilege of having an elaborate police system with Mrs. Lord as captain who is to be aided by Sergeant Conary. To the Freshmen : Item : The right to mix with upper classmen in the affairs of the 23

in his class and continue pester- ing her as it has been noticeable for the past year. May this be a warning to the teachers. To Camille Comeau, the privilege of wearing long pants to school without being laughed at. To John Comeau, our advice to moderate his rate of talking for then when he speaks French the rest of the class may have time to translate what he has said. To Elizabeth Curran, a set of for- eign language grammars so here- after she may converse freely with her friends without any fear of the other students understand- ing what she says. To Barbara Damon, the right to play the piano in the Boys’ Glee Club if the boys continue to be shy and will not play the accom- paniment themselves. To Dorothy Dunn, our hopes that she will be able, this coming year, to represent truthfully the “Cub” as being no longer a little weak- ling. To Evelyn and Mrytle Hebb, the right to conduct music in chapel and continue the example set by the Ciolek sisters. (We hope they don’t play “Work for the night is coming” the first day.) To Joseph Gaffney, a book called “Witticisms and Wise Sayings for All Occasions,” to be used to in- crease his present store of “Wise Cracks.” To Louis Galanis, the right to keep the dogs off the football field dur- ing the Manchester game and al- so help to defeat them with a de- cisive score so they will have no alibi whatsoever. To William Gianakakis, the warn- ing to keep out of Rowley and prevent himself from having any more heart-breaking ventures and disappointments in love there. To Christos Georgoplos, the honor of being ' ' Class Collegian.” To William Karchonas, the joy in 25 knowing he has already com- pleted his four years in English.

To Doris Jedrey and Mae Levesque, a step-ladder and a yeast cake that they may rise up and be seen as well as heard. To Marion Kinnear, the right to feel happy for it is the last year that she has to get up at five and ride in jitnies until she arrives at school at eight o’clock.

To Alliston Mansfield, the privilege of becoming one of Miss Allen’s industrious “house cleaners” since he has kept Room II so tidy for Miss Blodgett. To William Marr, a pair of curling irons to be used if he ever loses those natural curls. To Warren McGregor, a box of patent medicines to be used in case of indigestion which no doubt will soon be caused by bor- rowing so many different courses of his school lunch from his friends. To Margaret Lord, a book of An- swers so that she will not have to check over her Math, problems so many times to see if they are right. To Mildred Mansfield, the privilege of using the U. S. Air Mail at re- duced rates to start a correspon- dence with a senior who will be at a distinct college next year. To Gertrude Phelan, the privilege
