Charlotte Mallard, a paint brush to help her artist friend paint pic- tures. Edna McGregor, this picture in which the “Cliff” may be seen very easily. Barbara Schofield, our prettiest girl, this modern fountain of youth, (compact) ??? ?? Sophie Sikora, this airplane with which to race Charlotte to New- bury port. Barbara Wood, a book on radio so that she may converse intelli- gently with an expert on the sub- ject. Somewhat dazed, I turned to thank the old boy, but he had re- sumed his rigid pose. I grabbed his gifts, however, and crammed them into this basket and have thus ful- filled my obligations. Henceforth 1 shall always entertain a friendly feeling for the Jack of ' Hearts. , Gifts to Boys A SHORT while ago I was busily engaged in the seasonal game of spring house cleaning. While I was devoting myself to the particu- larly detested task of cleaning our drawers and closets, I was search- ing the dusty corners of my brain for some ideas of what I could give my, classmates for parting gifts. As I looked into the back of a deep, dark closet, I saw a bag bulging with many odd looking shapes. Up- on looking inside the bag, I was greeted by numerous forgotten rel- ics of my lost childhood. Suddenly 1 thought, — why not use my old keepsakes for presents? The more I thought of the idea the better I liked it, and the less inclined I felt to go on a tiresome tour through Woolworth’s. Consequently the boys should feel doubly honored to know their gifts have stood the test of time and represent a treasured collection. To Charlie Bailey I give this booklet on “Billy the Boy Artist” which should furnish him with some new artistic ideas. To Frankie Ciolek and Marshall Rogers go these boxes of Wheaties to make them grow with the sincere hope that their effect will not be the same as in “Alice in Wonder- land.” To David Claxton, this alarm clock to awaken him from his dreams. To Wayne Eustace, this candy cigar to remind him of how grown up he looked in the Senior Play. To Thomas Gauld, this package of safety pins to add to his sweater collection. To George and Nicholas George- opoulos, these identification brace- lets. To James Karabelos, these shoes to replenish the supply of shoe leather he wears out on his paper route. To Francis Kent, this speedy means of conveyance from the country. 30

Gifts to Girls By William Poor O NE day while worrying over what to give the girls of my class, I sought a brief respite in a game of solitaire. I got out all the cards but the Jack of Hearts and in vexation began to call him names. Whereupon I thought I saw him wink. I picked him up and started to examine his features a little more closely when suddenly I heard a voice say, “Are you the man that has to give gifts to the girls of 1935?” Somewhat startled I replied in the affirmative and glanced a- round, but I was quite alone. Then I stole another look at the Jack. He scowled at me and said, “If you want me to help you, you’ll have to pay attention. Start off by giving to : Ernestine Austin, our class blush- er, this little mask to hide her blushes. Anna Buturla, this dust pan and brush to keep her domestic. Helen Frederick, this little auto to make bill collecting easier than she found it on the ice cream sales. June Claxton, a package of gum to replace the many sticks she has lost. Ruth McCormack, this little note- book to keep track of her dances. Mildred Day, this little bicycle to bring her into town. Bessie Galanis, this badge to re- mind her of the Chief of Police’s son. Janet Gillis, this bundle of tick- ets to sell. Ruth Greene, this little Ham (n). Stella Kuconis, a hiker, this com- pass to help her find her way back. Norma Jewett, the ice pick to protect herself when her ice man calls. Angie Johnson, this laurel to crown the studious efforts of her senior year. Margaret Witham, this picture which shows a beautiful “Green field.” Charlotte Machaj, this automo- bile to take her to Newburyport. Eleanor MacDonald, this box of paints with which to exercise her talents. Phyllis Phelan, this little horse to indulge her love of riding. Lillian MacLean, this “sax” so that she may play duets with Dick. Sophie Merga, this book mark so that she may always be able to find her “Page.” Florence McPhail, a medicine dropper to use in training for a nurse. Mary Minichiello, the class baby, her bottle. Ethel Robicheau, a little cart to help Raymond deliver groceries. 29

To Raymond Klinger, one half of our class lovers, I give this roadster and advise him to fill it up with ‘‘Ethyl.” To Stephen Lampropoulos, this banana so that he will never be homesick. To Arnold LeClair, this cane to support him so that he won’t fall down when he has to make a speech. To Charles Machaj and George Pechillis, these modern trucks to replace the old ones. To Howdie Merry, these roller skates to facilitate his walking trips from Rowley to Hamilton. To Theodore Mavroides, one of our women haters, this club to drive off any female admirers. To Joe Player, this little “Austin” to accompany him on his trips about the country side. To William Poor, our whimsical jester, a nutcracker. To Stanley Mason, a tool kit for the handy man of Manning High. To Charles Sayward, this aero- plane equipped with a parachute. It will be safer than his Ford when it collapses. To Russell Sheppard, this mega- phone so that he can be heard if not seen. To Kendall Tilton, this weight (Waite) in remembrance of the Chemistry lab. Scales and his little freshman friend. To Joseph Weltchek, this mouse trap as a step toward trapping for bigger game. To Richard Garrett, these kilties so that he may be properly attired when he goes out with his Scotch lassie. To John Bokron, this football to use to keep in trim for further pig- skin glory. To Julian Warner, who would have been our class pest if we had elected one, this can of Flit. To John MacKerron, who has shown such capable leadership as our president this year, this gavel to restore order in future meetings he may have to conduct. To Henry Cowles, a bag of vigoro so that he may grow a mustache as speedily as he has been known to remove one. Having parted with my child- hood treasures, my only hope is that the new owners will receive as much enjoyment from them as I did. 31
