WE'l.L MISS YUU The pupils always have all the fun! But now the faculty casts a superlative vote, too. Not to be outdone by your best this and most that, we have some opinions on the Class of 1942. Champion Gum Chewer of 1942: Who but joe Minnon, with Lewis Mayo as runner-up fto the basketj. The lady-like girls had a widely scattered field, but Barabara VVells chewed out a bit of a lead. VVhistler! Oh, what a gay, carefree lot of lads! lllike Griffin, Lionel Farlardeau, and Edgar lVIerrill led all the happy crew. How silent our halls will be with them away! VVhistling girls? - VVell, Irma Cutting - occasionally. Pest in Study Hall: Perley Harriman and Harold Richardson out ahead in the home stretch - and talkative Lucille Sheehan right there, too. Oh! ebullient youth! No more boards for you to clean eighth period! Biggest Bluffer: Did you really think we couldn't tell that lesson wasn't done? Did you, Perley? Did you really think so, Keith? lwaybe, Irma, we tried it once ourselves! Greatest Talker: In class - corridor - class meeting - Lucille Sheehan's name led all the rest. But there echo still the voices of Edward Hoey, taking exception to everything, of Elie Piche, explaining things, of Arline Labranche, breaking all speed records. Chief Helper-Outer: Rudy Cate had little competition, though Elie Piche, Pauline Nault, and Nellie Neal have done many a helpful deed for many a harassed pedagogue, too. Corridor Romeos and Juliets: Never more to separate the twain as the corridors they stroll, shepherding her this way and sending him that! Line them up, two by two. Robert and Lucille leadthe promenade, Elie and Virginia, Gerard and Marjorie, Bill and Genieve, Alton and Dorothy, Charlie and Geraldine - and more follow after. VVhich one will we remember longest? The ballot said Hugh Dinwoodie, Rudolph Cate, Geraldine Weed, and Lois Nadon. That's what we think now. Only the years will really tell. AND NUW, EUUIlBYE From Miss O'SHEA: 'Here is life's secret: Keep the upward glance.' From MR. HoBsoN: 'The steam that blows the whistle won't turn the wheels.' From Mks. EDMANDS: In making plans for next year, remember that the present crisis will not last forever. Do some long-range planning. From COACH KINNEY: Don't sell your umbrella because you heard some one sing, 'It ain't gonna rain Y I! no more . From Miss K1NcsBURY: Cl Put one cup of Susan Colby's earnestness and l T of Pauline Kassner's neat- ness into the world. Stir well. Then add M tsp. lVIarion ,Ioslyn's willingness to serve, 24 tsp. Pauline Nault's laughter. Sift 3 times one cup of Virginia Hay- ward's experiences and one cup Edna Doherty's talking ability. Flavor with Catherine Freo's sense of humor. Bake in Barbara Watts' slow oven. Frost with Lorraine Simmons' efficiency. Serve anybody.

From MR. Govn : 'However dark the outlook - wear a smiley Hold fast your sense of humor all the while. Be true to self, scorn hate, stoop not to guile, Keep looking upward, forward, mile by mile.' l' From Miss NUMELIN: ' 'Tis TRULY said that words and actions make history, but 'tis FALSELY quoted that words speak more loudly than actions.' From COACH LEH: 'It is later than you thinkl' As a freshman, you thought of school as eternityg yet now graduation rushes upon you. Use this quotation as a guide to proper use of time. From Miss LICCRILLISI QCW' u .t qs'jZ W From Miss KENDRICK: 'Be kind to all dumb animals, And give each bird a crumb. Be kind to human beings, toog They're sometimes pretty dumbl' From MR. MAHONEY: Don't let these teachers kid you with too much solemn advice. They're supposed to caution you against the world's trials and tribulations. The world still isn't too hard-boiled to be thrown for a loss - if you have what it takes. ' ALL-UUT' ' EFFURT Real personal worth results from the development of desirable characteristics. Such growth results from sincere effort from within the individual. Sincerity is at a premium. Teachers can not give courses in sincerity, but they are in a strategic position to recognize, encourage, and cultivate sincerity. VVhether at work, study, or play - be not only yourself -- but also be your WILLIS B. GIFFORD H eadmaster whole self, giving sincere all-out effort.
