of knowing it is the last year she will have to drive down that long wilderness trail to school. To Lavinia Robishaw, the right to play on the boys’ basketball team provided she promises not to be too rough. To William Rice, a set of vest- pocket editions of his school books so that he will not become round-shouldered carrying his bag home at night. To Frances Ross, some wire netting and a fly swatter to be used for protection if she is ever visited again by the bee that visited her in Room I and caused her so much worry and trouble. To Anthony Starsiak, a dozen bot- tles of growing compound to take until he grows large enough to make his voice seem natural. To Alex Szklarz, the right to feel assured of a position in the out- field next year for four seniors in the outfield positions graduate this year. To Emily Saunders, a position this summer where she may expand her lung surface about eight feet and be able to talk so clearly and loudly that when she spealcs in the basement you will be able to hear her in the hall. To Hilda Saunders, our suggestion she join the circus for she is quite adept at tieing the bow knots with the lace on the back of her dress which Wile prefers to see untied. To Catherine Sheehan, our advice that she walk to school, for it would be an easy way to gain a letter or emblem and would be good for her health. The only small difficulty would be that she would have to get up at three o’clock in the morning. To Chandler Todd, a trailer to at- tach to the back of the Rowley jitney for he might find it very helpful in performing the duty of carrying the other “fellers’ ” bags home. To Wilfred Poor, a rattle and a suit of babies clothes to be worn only when coaching on the baseball team and for the sole purpose of totally unnerving the opposing pitcher. We have found him quite effective without that equip- ment this year but we think he will be able to do far better with it. To Elizabeth Smith, a leather medal, for she has been seen to keep quiet, for two consecutive study periods. Who else in school could keep still for five minutes in a study period ? To Walter Waz, our advice to fasten his gloves to his coat with two pieces of raw hide that he may never carelessly lay them down again and walk off and leave them. To Dorothy Willcomb, a settee to be placed on her piazza that she and her boy friends will not have to run the risk of breaking their necks sitting in a precarious posi- tion on the railing. To Eleanor Sheppard, an old accor- dion with keys upon it so she may practice this summer and be able to write ninety words per minute when she comes back in the fall. To Grace Woodburn, a pair of box- ing gloves which she may use on her brother when he does not mind her and toe the line when they are coming over on the jit- ney. To David Williams, a night cap to wear when he retires at night that he may never be tardy on account of spending too much time trying to find that perfect part in his hair. To Stella Zlyka, a copy of the deaf and dumb language that she may converse freely with her friends even when the teacher has not turned her back upon her. To Helen Zervas, a translation of all the senior Latin books that she and her friends may be able to do something else during study pe- 26

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 Barbara Howe, since she is leav- ing us, we wish good luck and success in whatever she may be going to do. 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 Sophie Kobos, the right to sit in the corner seat in Room IV since she has managed to keep the cor- ner seat in Room II so long. To Joseph Lenehan, the privilege of graduating from a good high school. To Stanley Machaj, our hope that his football team will play more games than the team did this year without any interruptions, and whitewashes all the oppo- nents by a large score. 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
