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

HAROLD ATKINSON BRONEK ALHOWIK Under the various titles of “Alek,” “Alhoozik,” and “Pest,” this little fellow is very much in the public eye. Like a little kitten, he gets mixed up in everything, and sometimes exasperates us, with his inquisitiveness. However, we are always patient with him, because he is very loveable. Bronek has shown his school spirit by his mem- bership in school organizations and his interest in athletics. He has his full share of brains, too, as you would realize if you could see the results he and Morong can get in the physics laboratory. We are very sure that, last year, he knew how to produce the most putrid effluviums in the chemistry class. Baseball letter. “Happy” has been rather incon- spicuous except on the ball field. His obscure position is due to the fact that he married quite early in life. He might have won the boys’ beauty contest, but why waste such an honor on a married man? Lots of other girls might cast sheeps’ eyes in his direction but they have a sense of fairness to the wife, or else they think it hopeless. His name, “Happy,” is most appropri- ate, for a quiet, sunny smile is al- ways on his face, except on the in- frequent occasions when a rather uncertain temper clouds his face, for the moment. This happens on- ly often enough for us to realize what a friendly disposition he really has. 28
