Twenty-six THE LAWRENCIAN — 1942 Arthur Medeiros — Art, after viewing that sign on your desk cover, we decided maybe you weren’t the gentle boy we thought you to be. We think that, in order to ob- serve its manners and customs, you merit this wolf. Arooo!!! Chester Paine — Chet, you’re getting to be quite the boy wonder in the physics laD. So that you won’t haunt Mr. Ballard to his grave ( the Boiler Room ) , we give you your own book of matches to light the Bunsen burner. Milton Servis — Milt, we were very glad to hear that you won that Eagle Palm, but we found in our physics book that metal con- tracts when cooled. So that that palm won’t disappear this winter we give you this glove to keep it warm! Warren Van Tol — Ever since Junior High School days, Warren, we have watched your avid interest in submarines with increasing alarm. Just in case you are ever foolhardy i enough to get stuck on one 250 feet below, d we deed you this balloon, with which to float to the surface. Antone Souza — Tony, we’re proud to say that you were a representative of our school in a speaking contest. For your future ease in orations, we give you this pitcher for water to wet your whistle. John Lawrence — John, we ' ve actually been worried about you. You’ve been in deep Waters ' for so long that we feel much better now that you have your feet on the good old terra firma. Take my advice, John, always keep this package of life savers with you so you will be able to rely on them to save your life when in rough waters. Dorothy Atkinson — Dot, maybe it’s a ’’Young” Man’s fancy, or maybe just the scarcity that makes you partial to Ford cars. In case he doesn’t show up some night, how about hunting him up in this one? (toy car) Louise Brown — Red, it’s a shame Oscar is so quiet. When you step on the starter it sounds like-er-er-er, well to be truthful, a riveting machine. These bolts and nuts might help to quiet possibly one or two of the rat- tles. Patricia Brown — Pat, you proved to us many times your excellence as a pianist. Why 4 not tickle the ivories on this little elephant, too? Ruth Bryers — Mouse, we deed to you this house to live in. If it isn’t big enough when you marry, we suggest you add a Wing” to it. Dorothy Burke — Dot, we know you’re a jitterbug in the larval stage. Always the helpful, we, the class of ’42, feel that this cactus applied to the right end will help you to attain your goal as a jive insect. Adeline Cardeiro — Chicky, we’ve heard all about your love for horseback riding and roller skating. We feel that this pillow applied in the right place would come in very handy. Mary Cavanaugh — Mary, as we understand it, you have made quite an impression on the sailors around Woods Hole. If you suc- ceed in marrving one, here’s something to feather your crow’s nest with. Harriet Cohen — Harriet, we are told that the big moment in your life lives in New York. We believe you’ll need this folder of matches to keep that light bright now that New York is dimmed out. Jean Collins — Does the stocking shortage affect you as much as it does the rest of the females? If so, here’s a lyle” stocking to help out in the Long” run. Jeanne Davis — Kitty, w f e don’t like to be catty about this, but we hear you have a new kitten named Little — Little. It seems odd — a cat with a human name. He must be just the cat’s meow. (China Cat) WlLLlNA DeChambeau — Billy, you’ve been having such trouble making” a Peck of — well, you know what. Try making” a peck with this measuring cup. Dorothy Densmore — When we first heard about Peter Michael Lawrence Jones, we couldn’t understand how one as bashful as you could be keeping company with a per- son with such a distinguished-sounding name. If you ever lack dignity to go with it, just stand on this box. Mary Dickson — Dicksy, that yellow sweater you knitted for extra-special Bob certainly was bright. For kindness sake we think it only fair to give him these sun glasses to go with it, in case it dazzles his eyes. Janet Dwight — Jed, since you’ve been go- ing around with a Tufts boy for so Long”, we believe this talcum powder will soften him up in case he gets too tough”. Virginia Fernandes — Virginia, is it true that the thing you like best to do is sleep? Yes? Well, here’s a little horse to keep your nightmares company. Hazel Howell — Hazel, we know you felt so-o bad when you lost your heart”, but we notice that you found it again lately with this Brackett” holding it up.

Malcolm Barnes — Mac, due to the priori- ties we couldn’t buy you that airplane that you wanted in time, but we sincerely hope you will enjoy yourself with this kite. Charles Botelho — Charlie, we feel rather sorry for you, having to cariy bundles for everyone. We really got worried when we thought of you this summer, tramping up and down the sidewalks. We decided you should have this bottle of liniment to rub on your feet. Bernard Cassidy — Bernie, you have made all of us realize the charms of Sweet Adeline, but once in a while it isn’t so Sweet ! We think you might do better with aid of this pitch pipe. John DeRose — John, anyone who has ever seen you at a dance must have recognized your passion for the light fantastic, but the way you whirl them around!!! We think you merit a defense stamp — to keep ’em flying! Donald Graham — Don, everyone, includ- ing Beethoven, is going to rest easier when he is not greeted every noontime by Moon- light Sonata”. Just so you ' ll recognize one, if anyone should ever throw one at you, we give you this tomato. Gordon Greene — Gordon, you have justly been termed one of the best athletes Fal- mouth has ever seen.

Therefore, we give you this funny book so that you may amuse yourself on your jaunts. Robert Lehy — Bob, we notice that you haven’t been hitting it off with Jeanne quite so well lately.

But just so you’ll rule her and keep her guessing, We give you this war club, with our blessing. Frank Marks — Pudgy, no one ever got into more scraps on the gridiron for the sake of dear old L.H.S. than you, but a temper like that may get you into trouble. We suggest that the next time you get vexed at Bernard, or anyone, you take this nickel buy an ice cream cone, and cool off. Harold Marks — Ponzi, it seems that it ' s always up to you tcT settle those famous arguments between Henry and Bernie. To save wear and tear on your vocal cords, we give you this gavel to keep law and order.

So that you can keep ’em rolling and so that you can spend your time profitably, we present you with this pair of dice.

(No ped- dlers allowed ) Marguerite Lumbert — Geet, we feel that you ' ll never rate your wings as an angel, so we hired this angel to guide you to Shep faster. Be careful of air pockets, (cardboard angel ) : Dorothy Maceda — It has always amazed us, Dot, how such a big voice comes from such a small person. Maybe this yeast cake will make you rise to match the size of your voice. Mary Martin — Mary, your ability to dance your cares away has been told to us by re- liable people. They say when you dance with Harold your head is in the clouds. To keeo you from gaining too much altitude, here is . a bag of sand to weight you down. Eleanor McLaughlin — Eleanor, we should think you would have a hard job finding a companion as quiet as you are. We think you and this mouse would get along just fine.

We feel if you would conceal your head in this paper bag, Gordon could keep his eyes on the road. Madalyn Hathaway — Maddy, every sum- mer for years on end we ' ve seen those giddy bug-hunters from the M.B.L. with dark ' glasses on. Now you fotTl around with in- sects, etc., and we could think of nothing better to put you really in the uppity-up than this pair of sun glasses.
