Try to make it last the year out. Generally speaking, Robert San- Souci is — well, you know he is gen- erally speaking. Such constant use of the voice is very bad on the throat; so we should like to leave j with you, Robert, these throat loz- enges. Now you may talk all you like without any fear of injuring [ your throat. Teddy Czepiel likes wild animals, j He is thinking about having a fur J farm after he leaves school. The thing he will need most is inform- j ation about animals; so we give ! him this volume of natural history, j One of our boys has a great many j interests. Harry Handy is inter- ested in football. He is interested in basketball. He is interested in baseball. He is interested in boats. We wondered whether to give him a football, a basketball, or a base- ball, but we decided to give him a boat because we thought he could name his boat “Betty”, and you know, Buck, it would be absurd to call a football or a baseball “Bet- ty.” The hoe is for Frank Perry to use in his garden. “No weeds may grow Where the hoe doth go.” In the days of the wild and woolly West one of our number would have made an excellent desperado. In his career as “Two-Gun Billy” Donald Hatch cut quite a dash on the senior Freak Day, May 4. In these days of peace, however, Don- ald has to content himself with printing, an occupation much to his liking. The thing he likes best is Printer’s Pi. We give you this rosy apple, Donald, to put in your next pie. This sport roadster is for John Martin, We know it is rather a long walk to Woods Hole from John’s home, and this roadster will save much time when he and his girl friends go to play golf. Notice the rumble seat, John. We have in our class one who hopes to become a movie actor. Felice Franco hopes to become a second Valentino. We offer as our parting gift, Felice, this “make-up box” which we hope you will find very useful in Hollywood. We understand that on his long Sunday afternoon rides Gilbert gets lonely and chilly. We give him this hot water bag so he won’t be cold and chilly on any more Sun- day rides. Nate Issokson is always blowing his horn, but here is one you can’t blow, Nate, a shoe horn. By no means forgotten is How- ard Pease. For a swelled head we give him this hat in hopes that he’ll use it instead of that thing he brought home from Florida three years ago. Frances Freeman CLASS FAVORS FOR GIRLS We wish to present each member of the class of 1931 with a little favor to remind him in later life of the jolly days spent in Lawrence High School. Ah! here I have an autographed baseball with the signature of that great diamond star, Buck Handy. This I present to Betty Henry. The second young lady to re- ceive a token is one of the best dressed girls in this class of 1931, Irene Norris. To her I present this fashion doll, a miniature souvenir of herself. “They laughed as she strolled over to the piano ” but when she

So we present him with this cake of Palmolive Soap to keep his “School-Girl Complexion.” Joseph Sheehan, our famous car- toonist, has other interests besides his art. Joe has been going regu- larly to Doc. Wiswall’s house for the past few months. What for? We judge “Doc. Wizzy” is unable to bring about your recovery, Joe. We give you, therefore, this bottle of medicine. We hope it will cure you so you won’t need to go any more to the doctor’s house. John Barry never looked at a girl while he was in high school. He has even been called a woman hater. But he is going away to Worcester Tech, next year, where he will be lost in the mazes of a great city. So, the class wishes to present you, John, with this “girl,” who will try to teach you the art ‘Of getting on with the opposite sex. All through the year we have been watching the many tender glances one of our boys has sent to the other side of the room, and now, Joseph Goodreau, we know where your heart lies. Joe likes flowers very much, and his favorite is sweet Pease. So, we give him this dove to bring Peac (s)e in the fam- ily. There is a saying that “some things come in opposites.” For in- stance, Jack Nichols is small but has a big voice. Likewise, Roger Tobey is large and he has a wee small voice, which can never be heard across the room. So to Roger we give this megaphone, which he can use to magnify even his faint- est whisper so that it can be heard. To Jack we give this reducti- phone, which he should use to tame his voice down. They still depend on Wells to put our fires on Cape Cod. We have an excellent water system, but we like to have Wells around just the same. Where there are wells there are usually buckets. Dean, here is an old oaken bucket. With this you can join the bucket bri- gade and be a real help to our fire department. One of our members is very bash- ful. Milton Studley can never see any girl because he would have to look down so far. Neither can any girl see him, because he is so tall. So we give you this French doll. She is tall enough for even you. Dick McLane is a little fellow who should be seen and not heard. Everywhere you go, you are likely to hear: “Did you ever hear this one about — ?” And the usual ans- wer is: “Sure, Dick McLane told me that one.” So, Dick, we give you this Joke Book. Keep up your re- putation. Karl Bohaker is one of our good- natured boys. He is certainly a shining light in the class. Karl likes golf, his only trouble is that he loses His clubs. So, Karl, the next time you lose a club — in a tree, for instance — you can use this one to improve your game. Bert Haddon certainly needs a telephone. It would save much gasoline and much wear on auto- mobile tires between here and West Falmouth. So, the Class thinks that this telephone will help you to “Gaynor.” It isn’t nearly so cozy as a Ford runabout, is it Bert? This engagem ent book is for none other than our Class Sheik, Ells- worth Head. He is to keep in this book all the dates he makes with those of the opposite sex while he is down in Maine next year. Now, Ellsworth, don’t use it up too fast.

picked, it up and threw it out of the window they were astonished. Delscena Mills admits that this type of playing is too strenuous therefore we wish to present her with these tiddly winks. This time I hold in my hand a small package of pills. “One pill after each giggling spell will re- store to normal.” Pauline Sylvia, our class “giggle-O.” To Alice Perry this small book finds its way. It is entitled, “Bash- ful-tis and Its Cure.” Since it’s true the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, I pre- sent Exilda Gouldreau with this little can-opener to pave her way to popularity among the opposite sex. I have here for Daurice Boyatt a correspondence course on, “How to Become a Big Time Reporter on the Home Town Gazette.” To a certain languid lady of our class, Ethel Simmons, we present something that will endow her with “Pepp”, “Vim”, and “Vigor”, name- ly, Tasty Yeast. I have here a pair of dancing slippers which we present to “Peggy” Ward, “hoping she won’t be danc- ing with tears in her eyes because the boy in her arms isn’t you.” Now to Ellen Barstow, who shows signs of being a matrimonial pros- pect, we present this rolling pin. She may not have to use it, for what wouldn’t Jimmy Du-fur her? To Betty Wiswall we present this rose, for between three thorns she grows, namely Joe, Jack, and Arthur. I have here a book entitled, “Love’s Philosophy,” by Sheehan. To Eleanor James we give ' this book, for she is the one who in- spired the author. “Why Children Cry for Castoria,” can better be explained when we give Virginia Leatherbee, our class baby, this bottle. Ah! here we have a picture of Rudy Vallee, which Christine Wright will please come forward, and claim. Now we know why she has sat gazing into space in history class. An old love affair, I guess. To Ellen Hamblin we give this jumping jack, which is typical of Ellen’s biggest and best jumps made on the basket-ball team. To Loraine Pease, the. class book worm, we present this pocket dic- tionary, hoping it will help her to digest the contents of the many books she has to read. For Florence Landers we have this little novelty, a Teddy bear that hugs, and High School girls he just seems to love. Here we have a present for our French horn artist, Irene White. As a tribute to her sweetest play- ing, we present her with this lem- on. Ah! here we have something for a lover of penmanship, Madeline Roderick, a magnifying glass for that little wee writing of hers. Here I find a parasol, which we present to Lillian Hazelton, to hide behind when she gets flustered and blushes. The Pilgrims landed at Plymouth in 1620, and Anna Rogers has been visiting there continually ever since; therefore we present her with this book entitled “The Court- ship of Walter — ,” no, it must be “Myles Standish.” Anyhow we hope she will learn the Puritan be- liefs, and traditions quickly. To Margaret Papp, the girl who claims to have broken more than a million hearts, we present this little
