THE PARROT team now. January 7, 1933 Happy New Year Diary! After deciding that Pres. Roosevelt had chosen a woman to be in his cabinet, our strictly up-to-date class decided that we must have a woman president, so Annette Smith, the model girl of 1933 was elected to the class presidency. Oh I tell you, diary, women are gaining their rights in this world. February 3, 1933 Miss MacLeod invited a few of the girls in our class up to her cunning apartment for dinner to-night. We had a grand time gossiping and talking over the future and doing the dishes. She plans to have a few senior girls every now and then until we have all had an in- vitation. Isn't that nice of our teacher? April 21, 1933 Because we are such a loyal class and our love is so steadfast we could not bear to think of individual pic- tures for The Parrot . The depression has nothing to do with it. May 30, 1933 We are having a grand time getting ready for grad- uation and I guess we are just beginning to realize that our superb, most mighty class will in a few weeks, be split into as many pieces as a jig-saw puzzle and like a jig-saw puzzle we will be put back together again when we flike the class of '31J have a reunion. June 13, 1933 Tomorrow is Class'Day Diary and I am rather ex- cited about it all. Then Friday we graduate! Gosh Diary, I got so excited thinking about our graduation that I can't write so will say au revoir till after Class Day. Class Prophecy MAC: Two-thirty o'clock, courtesy of Bulova Watch Company. Ladies and gentlemen of the radio audience, this program is coming to you over the Columbia net- work. We have the honor this afternoon of broadcasting the formal opening if the Palais D'Or of the class of 1933. The opening of this club has aroused nation-wide inter- est, due not only to the magnificence of the club, but also to the number of celebrities who are to be present. ALICE: This club is the realization of a promise ten years ago when the class of 1933 of Lebanon High School set forth to take up their activities: Miss Annette Smith promised that in ten years from that date she would open a club if she could depend upon the appearance of all her classmates. Since her school days Miss Smith has coveted the beautiful rolling acreage beside the high school, known as The Basin , she has chosen this spot as the site for the club. The beautiful Spanish building was erected by Miss Katherine LaPlante, who has gained a wide reputa- tion as an architect, both in this country and in South America. Miss Edwidge Dessert has done the decorating in such a way that this ornate Spanish Hacienda is more than beautiful with its combination of Spanish and fu- turistic designs. MAC: The crowd is gathering. Among the first to arrive are Miss Iona Sheehe and Miss Louise Tuttle. A close intimacy between these two has been maintained through- out the past ten years, as most of their time has been spent in Europe. Miss Sheehe was a model in Patou's dressmaking establishment in Paris. Her phenomenal success was due to her beauty. She has made an unusually famous shop for Patou. Miss Louise Tuttle is doubtless familiar to you, as she gained notoriety from her international matrimonial adventures. A few years ago Peggy Joyce was the most frequently married woman but her record has long since been dimmed by Miss Tuttle. After each divorce she re- sumes her maiden name. ALICE: Mr. Edwin Cushman just arrived in his slow, easy manner. Soon after Ed. left school he made a tre- mendous amount of money as a second Babe Ruth on the eighth Yankee team. Then Ed. realized that his position wasn't worthy of him and he left baseball. He invested all his earnings in the Buick Motor Car Co. Charles Leonard is head designer of the Buick car. He has 12 different horns sold with each model. The smallest Buick has 24 cylinders but the most remarkable feature is the soda fountain between the front and back seats, where ice cream cones and sundaes with half pecans, are served at intervals. Now Ed. is growing tired of Buicks and there is a rumor to the effect that he will soon devote his life to higher mathematics and leave his share of the Buick Motor Co. to Charles Leonard. MAC: There seems to be something going on over near the doorway. Oh Wendall Coburn, Norman Townsend, and Lloyd Downes have just entered. They can't lay business aside for even one day. 'Oh, yes, they are in business. They have formed a Farm Loan Association in Lebanon. ALICE: We are pleased that Sargent Jealous has recover- ed enough to be present. He fell down the steps of his bungalow and broke his leg, a most deplorable accident as Shorty had been expected to carry off the prize for pole vaulting in the next Olympics. MAC: Miss Marion Sanders and Milton Richardson with their true class loyalty have paused in their busy careers so that they might be present. Since Miss Sanders is the first woman to be nominated for presidency of the U. S. and Milton Richardson is her campaign manager it looks as though our next four years will see a woman as pres- ident of U. S. Miss Gertrude Clark, looking very stunning, has just arrived. She has just returned from Europe where she has been traveling with her millionaire husband. Ger- trude's beautiful henna fair is envied by every woman both here and abroad. ALICE: A spirited argument has taken place between Miss Gracie who is now librarian in West Lebanon, and Mrs. Roger D. Smith formerly Blanche Herrin. Our Bee is so devoted to her five children that she felt it impossible to be separated .from them even for one day, so she has just arrived, accompanied by her five kiddies. Miss Gracie insists that this was to be a 100W class reunion, no hus- bands, no wives, no children, no dogs admitted. Being pressed by her classmates Bee has decided to leave her brood in the dressing room in care of their adoring papa. Miss Emma Fellows has arrived. Emma gives short hand lessons over the radio every Saturday. They are entitled Short Methods for Short Hand Writing. MAS: Miss Thelma Goodfellow has reddened her pen with many fictional murders but all in a good cause, being happily ensconced in a lovely home and using her pen and influence to further the aid of her pet charity The Refuge for Broken-Hearted Men. And now we have Miss Esther Crandall. She is rath'e1' late because her duties at Hotel Rogers are very ex- acting. She is maitress d'hotel and supervises that hos-

THE PARROT all over and we have graduated, I wonder what they will do. I wonder! GINNIE: fafter Hazel finishes Freshman and Sophomore yea1's.J That's great, Hazel, and what fun to recall those years. I only wish that I had kept a diary through my first two years of high school. Do you want me to read parts of mine now? HAZEL: Yes, do. GINNIE: September 8, 1931 Heigh-ho Diary, The great and honorable class of '33 entered the por- tals of L. H. S. this morning with a look of determi- nation on each face. I am anxious to find out just what that determination is. I noticed that our class has shrunk to fifty-three members, but we are still a larger class than the class of '32 and if we can all stick we'll have a huge graduating class. P. S. Diary, this is going to be a thrilling year. November 21, 1931 This year, diary, is the Hockey squad's turn to give the annual Football-Hockey banquetg consequently, we worked all day trying to find food enough for eighty a.thletes. Even so, we had a grand time. Dick Colby was elected captain of football and Annette Smith was elected captain of field hockey for the ensuing year. Hurrah for our class! Dead tired. December 21, 1931 Merry Christmas Diary! We've been at basketball for a month now and have had two games, and as yet I have never seen the ski-team come home from any com- petition with any less than twenty-five cups and at least a dozen medals apiece. Stan. Nelson seems to be our class out-door man and he knows his snow. January 2, 1932 Happy New Year. I hope that I have some grand things to tell you this year. We returned to school to-day and we started plan- ning our Junior Prom which is to occur on January 29. We are going to transform the gym into typical Hol- land with a multitude of tulips, a Dutch cottage, blue sky, wooden shoes, everything! Frank Jackson is our class President, there will be no grand march for Frank to lead. February 9, 1932 We have a new girl in our class 3 I think that her name is Alice Desmond. She looks as though she were going to be lots of fun and I don't imagine the boys will be too shy about wanting to meet her either. We also have a new boy in our honorable class. We call him L. L. from L., others call him Lefty' Leonard from Laconia. We've yet to learn his char- acteristics, but we have heard that he looks pretty good on a baseball diamond. March 18, 1932 Dear Diary, The girls' basketball squad ventured into the far off wilds of Windsor, Vt. for the New England Champion- ship tournament. We had bad luck in the preliminaries, but we didn't mind much because we had free meals and reserved seats at the rest of the tournament games. April 3, 1932 Were we surprised to see Lloyd Downes arrive at school in a brand new Ford roadster? Oh! Lucky boy, and will that car ever be used. April 10, 1932 Iona Sheehe came back to school to-day on crutches after being out of school because she broke her leg while playing field-hockey for L. H. S. Gee, we were so glad to see her back again that we all jumped for a chance to help her through the corridors or to carry her books. Iona adopted this motto, Anything for jolly old L. H. S. What a fine way to look at it. May 9, 1932 In assembly to-day the cutest play was given and Marian Sanders made the snappiest and most alert priv- ate secretary I've ever seen. A peach of a girl and her hair. Oh-Oh. June 14, 1932 Glorious day, but school. Oh, well, we are almost through three-fourths of our high school career and we are fulfilling our class motto, From Possibility to Ac- tuality, because we have the greatest, most magnifi- cent, most stupendous class ever to wend its way through L. H. S. From one who knows. Here's my Senior year, Hazel, and up to date too. September 10, 1932 With the beginning of school came the rumor that three brothers were coming to L. H. S. I pity those boys if they live up to the girls' expectations and if the girls do all they say they will. September 14, 1932 Into room 34 walked 6ft. 3in. of youth. Every girl's head popped up from her book and poor Sargent Jealous was in the lime-light for a time, probably, too long for him. We nick named him Shorty because of his 6ft. 3in. We were mighty glad to have Shorty in our class and we know that he must have had inside information on just what was the best class in L. H. S. October 3, 1932 We chose our class flower to-day and although some of the boys fmuch to our disgustj voted for pansies there were enough who wanted talisman roses to win the vote. Because of the cut in the school budget we might have had to do without our art club but such a drastic thing could not happen because our class sup- plied the very person to take the club in hand. The per- son being, our class artist, Thelma Goodfellow. I don't know what will happen to L. H. S. after our departure. October 20, 1932 We got report cards to-day and after looking at one another's cards, a few of us got in a corner and came to the conclusion that Ed. Cushman has decided to study this year. Of course, this can't last very long, but we shall eagerly await the outcome. November 8, 1932 Now that football and hockey are over Miss Doughty is going to take our spare time because we are going to present a Chinese operetta to Mr. and Mrs. Public. A new girl, in our class, Louise Tuttle, is going to take the lead. She seems to have all the pep and it inthe world. December 10, 1932 We have found a hidden genius in our class and it is none other than Norman Townsend who decided to go out for winter sports to win his letter or emblem his first year which he did. Stan Nelson and he are on the 1 L

THE' PARROT telry extremely well. ALICE: That loud noise outside the door announced the arrival of Sylvia Goodwin in her collapsible blimp. Syl- via's rise to fame has been watched by her former class- mates with much interest. She took to Hying after grad- uation and became thoroughly absorbed in her work. Blimps are her specialty. Ernest Guertin has just arrived. He was almost unable to come. It seems that he, being bored with life, entered a coast-to-coast peanut pushing marathon. The only rea- son that he was able to come today was that a worm got into his peanut nad was able to crawl off with the prize. MAC: Mr. Clarence Hood has just come in. During his senior year at L. H. S. he suffered from a chronic sleep- ing sickness. He has perfected a cure for the dreadful disease. The formula is called Early to Bed. The room is darkened and the guests fall silent. Their eyes turn eagerly to the door upon which a spotlight has been focused. Miss Virginia Hough is making her sen- sational appearance in her seaweed costume which has been substituted for the grass skirt in Honolulu, where she is a dancing teacher. Miss Hough is backing a move- ment to have the Honolulu dance replaced by her fav- orite dance step, to the tune of Mood Indigo. ALICE: Oh! here is Adrian Pauze. He became president of the Humane Society and he certainly has worked wonders with that organization. He bought the entire Whipple Block. Mr. Robert Farr is his personal overseer. He has built truly magnificent structures to house all the poor homeless animals that might come into their hands. There is a special section for abused fish, a de- partment which is managed by Elma Lemieux. The place is idealy located, overlooking the park. In such happy surroundings many downtrodden animals have taken a new lease on life. , MAC: Robert Jones, always anxious to make himself agreeable to his classmates, has submitted plans for a Senior Ball to the class of '44. The plans met with over- whelming enthusiasm from the student body but were confiscated by the faculty. ALICE: Miss Maxine Weston who has never been mar- ried has become a bit cynical about men, since an ex- perience she had soon after she left school. She has be- come a successful stock broker but found time each day to write a column for the newspaper entitled Care and Training of Children. MAC: Three of our girls have made names for them- selves in the theatrical world. Each has attained success in her line and has not infringed on the other. Miss Marion Boisvert started her career in Ziegfield's chorus. Her grace soon removed her from this low rank and she began creating dances more exotic than the once fam- ous Gilda Gray dances, thus giving America leadership of the dance world. Of Miss Stacia Marchewka little need be said. Her interpretations of Shakespeare have made her the greatest Juliet since Julia Marlow. The third member of the famous trio is Miss Ellen DeForge, the leading screen actress. Very soon aftr leav- ing L. H. S. Ellen yielded to sudden impulse and hastened to Hollywood where she became a disciple of Marie Dressler, whom she has now relieved of her screen duties. Miss DeForge is considered the most versatile actress of all times. ALICE: For years the Nelson Quick Lunch Counters were known all over the Western coast but they were not financially successful. The failure is attributed to Stan's unfortunate capacity for eating up the profits. He is now manager of the Park Plaza. Another member arrives: Only her ardent devotion to her class could persuade Miss Margaret Boyd to dessert the special clinic at which she is supervisor. MAC: The reminiscing ceases as the enchanted party listens to Miss Alice Desmond's rendition of several negro spirituals. Miss Hazel Paquin has just arrived in her same old smiling manner. Miss Paquin with her understanding of children has become supervisor of the Children's hospital in Boston. A noted arrival is that of Miss Eunice McCondack, who has just published twelve new volumes entitled, Bio- graphies of Vamps of all Ages. These books are Eunice's first work, magnificent originality of spelling is the pre- dominant feature. ALICE: A famous pilitician has just arrived, Mr. Stanley Tomkinson, Speaker of the House of Representatives. We expect Stanley to be our nxt vice-president. Miss Gertrude Griggs, soon after she left school made a tremendous amount of money on the first All Woman's Baseball Team. Then she went to Hollywood where she is now designing clothes for the movie actresses. MAC: Rena Lambert has just arrived. At present, she is private secretary to Mr. English at his new office on the Heater Road. Shirley Spaulding is now secretary of Agriculture. He rose to fame after planting beans and corn together which grew up as succotash. This method saves the canning companies a great deal. Arthur King is most successfuly coaching the sport teams of L. H. S. He had plenty of practice managing the basketball team of '33. ALICE: There has developed quite a tension among the class, as two of their number have failed to come, but happiness is now supreme. Mr. Frank Jackson and Mr. Fred Ruel have just arrived in fiying togs explaining that Jackson's plane ran out of gasoline while he was down at the South Pole. This accomplished aviator and hunts- man had Hown to the sparsely populated section to get a pet penguin for his niece. The White River Junction Air Service competently managed by Fred Ruel, came to his assistance hence the tardy but safe arrival of both MAC: Ruel certainly has made a great improvement in the air port. His biggest job is that of transporting the various sport teams of L. H. S. to towns in which they have games. ALICE: The entire class of '33 has now arrived for its first reunion since the day of graduation. The remainder of the afternoon will be spent in reminiscing and in en- tertainment furnished by various members of the class. MAC: This program has been coming to you over the Columbia network, courtesy of Bulova Watch Co. Signing off. Good afternoon. 4 --Alice Desmond, Maxine Weston. The Class Will We, the class of nineteen hundred and thirty-three of Lebanon High School in the Town of Lebanon, County of Grafton, State of New Hampshire, being of sound mind and memory, do hereby make, publish and declare this our last will and testament, and do hereby remake all previous testamentary dispositions. First: To the faculty the memory of our virtues with the hope that they have recorded our faults on the shift- ing sands of the desert which leave no trace behind.
