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

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

Cupid whose laws she has so re- lentlessly disobeyed. Ah! for Dorothy Barboza, the author of “The Women’s Place in the Home,” we have this useful household weapon to back up her beliefs. The artistic ability of Jennie Baker makes it only logical to pre- sent her with this little set of paints. Don’t use the Red, Jennie! For Kathryn Overy, the vamp of North Falmouth, we give this “Kissproof” lip stick. “When oth- ers smudge, this stays even through the hours after twelve.” To the girl who knows that “sil- ence is golden,” Olivia Roderick, we present a pair of ear muffs, which may help her to avoid our idle chatter. The last favor is for the girl with the million-dollar personality, Frances Freeman. To her we pre- sent this little “Ragamuffin Romeo,” whom she may hold and sing to “C, Lover Come Back to Me.” Howard Pease CLASS WILL Be it remembered that we, the class of 1931, of Lawrence High School, of Falmouth, in the Com- monwealth of Massachusetts, being of sound mind and memory, but knowing the uncertainty of this life, do make this our last will and testament. After the payment of our just debts and funeral charges we be- queath and devise as follows: Our most coveted back seats we devise and bequeath to the worthy Juniors, hoping that they will en- joy them as much as we have. We also leave the Juniors our large, red, English book, known as “Liter- ature and Life.” These books, we must admit, contain a great amount of knowledge, but the job of carry- ing them around is much too stren- uous for us. Our prestige as Seniors and our reputation as a very brilliant Senior class we also leave to the Juniors, j challenging them to break more re- cords than we have. To Mr. Craig we leave a mechan- ical robot especially equipped to correct history notebooks and also able to detect last minute scribbl- ing. To each and every member of the faculty we bequeath one framed picture of the Senior class of ’31 so that, during the course of the next year, when they become dis- couraged they may glance at these pictures and remember that they should not expect the same effici- ency from other classes as from ours. To each and every member of L. H. S. we leave a “carte blanche” which they may present when late for class, especially English class, without bothering to go to the of- fice for a slip. To the students of L. H. S. we devise and bequeath as follows: Joseph Sheehan, our cartoonist, bequeaths his ability to entertain the feminine sex to William Nor- ton, although we doubt if “Bill” is in very great need of it. Nathan Issokson leaves his knack of throwing spitballs and other harmless objects around when the teachers aren’t looking to the high- est bidder in either the Junior or Sophomore class. John Barry leaves his privilege of utterly ignoring the feminine sex to Minot Tripp. If this gift is
