The Lawrencian our class, so Bunny, with Peggie’s compliments we give you this all- day sucker. Edmund DeMello, falling to sleep on the job will never do for you. In case you are not sure whether you are asleep or awake, just ring this bell. Every new girl who comes to town thinks that Mertie Baker has the most beautiful blue eyes. In order that you can keep in trim, Mertie, we give you this eyelash curler. Tony Martin wants to be county sheriff some day. As the first step to your goal, Tony, we have the honor of presenting to you this chicken inspector’s badge. Rodney Turner wants to be great. You are interested in Halls, we know, Rodney. You may be able to reach the Hall of Fame with this ladder. Poor Roy Garcia is always out of luck. Roy, when you feel dis- contented about any thing, just hit yourself over the head three times with this lucky horseshoe. If you are still conscious, then you’ll know how lucky you really are. Why do girls go mad? All on account of Teddy Sheehan. He’s a woman hater. Since you are not interested in dates, Teddy, we give you this package of figs. Armand Parent wishes to join the “House of David”, but we won’t let that happen. We give you free of charge, Armand, this razor. Something terrible happened to Francis Mclnnis the other night. He forgot his line. Never mind, Mac; in case of sudden danger use the old telephone line (toy tele- phone) . Poor Wicky McDonald! He’s al- ways getting in Dutch with the teachers. Why not try the old fashioned custom, Wicky? Here is a nice juicy red apple, and, re- member, it’s for the teacher. What would happen if Lester Davis came down with a bad case of laryngitis? Let’s hope that such a case would never be. So, to this silver voiced crooner of ours we offer this package of glycerine tab- lets. Johnny Wayman never laughs un- less there is something really funny to laugh about. You will keep in hysterics, John, when you read this Mickey Mouse book. Felix Barboza just can’t get “Saint Louis Blues” off his mind. Your trumpet needs a change, Felix. Try this old favorite, Juanita. It ought to be advertised practi- cally everywhere how Reignford Lyon keeps his handsome schoolboy complexion. Perhaps we do not know the secret, Reignford, but in case you run out of it, here is a cake of Woodbury’s Facial Soap. George Morin wants to be a banker. Opportunity is at your door, George. Remember, we gave you your start with this penny sav- ings bank. Phil Wilde should remind us of the ocean, not because he is salty but because of his wavy hair. So, Phil, in order to keep those dash- ing waves of yours calm for a while, we give you this bottle of “Jocur” wave set. Leonard Rogers, knowing that you like baseball so well, we managed to get you this baseball with “Babe Ruth’s” signature on it. As the real Babe was busy at the time, we gave Ruth Cowen the pleasure of signing it in his stead. Henry Peters is quite a chemist. He claims that he can make any

Lawrence High School ropolitan opera star, Ruth Cowen, slipped by the reporters today and locked herself up in a suite of rooms in the Copley Plaza. All efforts to reach her for an interview failed. The only reporter to reach Madam Cowen was the versatile representa- tive of the Falmouth Enterprise, Miss Christine Fernandes, whose persuasive force and endurance has made front-page stories a weekly event in Falmouth. Flash from Pittsburgh, the smoky city. Alice Gifford left town today in a terrible rush and gave no rea- son why. But my guess is that the mirrors were smoky. Here is a choice bit of gossip that we chanced to overhear. They say that Mary Moniz is that way about a big strong he-man down Fal- mouth way. We just found out what made the three little pigs’ giggle sound so real. Behind the scenes was Jean Densmcre, who at last is getting real American Dollars for her abil- ity to giggle any time at anything. Selena Edwards is the talk of Har- lem since her night club singing, “Am I blue?” You just tune in on Madam Edwards if you are. She drives the blues away. She has turned blue Monday into a day of sunshine. Selena’s success is due to the young lady star who has the ability to put her feet just where they ain’t, who can dance the blues away. Yeozah! Margaret Peris is the little lady with the dancing feet. Flash from Labrador! Anthony Martin has succeeded in harvesting an unusual amount of ice this win- ter. The story has it that it was a long cold winter. And Anthony was able to sneak on the ice without making a sound, thus catching it before it melted. Flash from Woods Hole! Coins are getting more and mere scarce since the organ grinder, Francis Mclnnis, has been in that vicinity. Francis is one of the few who has made his way in the world. Flash from Paris! The clerk at the Reno Divorce Bureau, Eleanor Stevens, reports that L. H. S. gradu- ates hold the highest rate of di- vorces granted since 1934. And with this choice bit of gos- sip I come to a close, trusting that you all gathered in the news, news that won’t happen for days to come. This broadcast has been made possible by the makers of Scannell’s Hair Tonic. Anything that is good for the hair should be good on the air. JACINA LOUISE COSTA. GIFTS TO THE BOYS Our class is never gloomy; in fact, the whole school is never gloomy. So, Alva, in order that you may keep your bright blushing tem- perature down, we give you this thermometer. Bob Leighton, knowing that you love to blow quite a bit, we’re go- ing to give you something that will stand plenty of hot air. So, Bob, we take time to present to you this horn. In exchange for your own high hat, Ross, we present you with this derby. David, knowing your fondness for the Scotch, we take great pleasure in giving you this booklet of Scotch jokes. It’s t rue that good things come in small packages. Anyone can be a witness to that when he sees Her- bert Gardner play baseball. Take this little bat, Herbert, and soon you’ll be shaking hands with “Babe Ruth” himself. Bunny Hauston is the baby of

Lawrence High School chemical change in any solution. Now we have a problem for you, Henry. When you can change this small bottle of water into a quart of milk, then you’ll realize your skill as a chemist. John Figuerido, from all we can learn from the boys who have taken printing, you take the cake for mak- ing pi’s. If anyone should see a speck fly- ing swiftly by him, he ought to know that it is Joe Towers trying out his father’s car. Maybe you can make 300 miles your limit, Joe, so try practicing with this toy racer. Ernie, you’ve just got to stop making those awful faces at every- one. Now we’re going to give you a dose of your own medicine. Prom- ise not to use it right away, Ernie, because we do not want to witness any fainting scenes. So, we give you this mirror. Marjorie Simmons. GIFTS TO THE GIRLS In years gone by it has been the custom to present each member of the senior class with a gift. This year is no exception. Will Franny Knight please step forward? Franny, you are forever playing around “Wells”, and what is a well without a bucket? Franny, so that you won’t forget the gcod times you ' had in L. H. S., please accept this bucket. Every year the class votes on dif- ferent titles for different people. This year Eleanor Stevens was voted the best looking, in order for you to keep up the gcod work, Eleanor, we give you this compact. Our class baby is Claire Sylvia. Here, Claire, come and get your bottle. There is one girl in our class who is forever fixing her hair. So we give to Esther Borden this wave set. Whenever Selena Edwards played for the morning assembly we had to wait for her to climb up and get seated on the . piano. To avoid any further trouble, Selena, we give you this ladder. We have among us one known as “Tubby”. Please come forth, Ruth. So you won’t ever forget your nick- name, please accept this tub. We have one girl in cur class who is older than the rest. In case in later years there is ever a class reunion, to keep you from being bored, Alice, please accept these knitting needles. We all know Anne is going away. Well, I guess you will be missed a lot by one in our town anyway. You can keep in close touch with him, Anne, if ycu please accept these stamps. Everyone has heard about the million dollar baby from the five- and-ten-cent store. Well, we have one in our class. Will Sara Marks please come up and get a price list from Newberry’s. “Alice, put down your desk cover.” These are familiar words coming from the teachers. Alice, please ac- cept this mirror, so you can carry it in your hand, and when you steal a look at yourself you won’t be so noticeable. Will Genevra Carpenter, our prima donna, please step up. Genev- ra, I know you will get far on the opera stage. Just in case you start to float off when you hit high E, please accept this anchor. Everyone knows about the Haus- ton-Lawrence affair. Well, we think it would be a shame for Peggy to be without Bunny. So, will you please accept this Bunny. On almost any good weekend the town will be minus two of its fair ladies. These two are Marion Smith
