ADVICE TO THE JUNIORS Well, Juniors, we have finished our work in M. H. S. and must turn the Seniorship over to you. We have done our best to uphold the class spirit; but our numbers were few. So if we have failed to come up to your idea of Seniors, we advise you to profit by our mistakes and do better; and as a result of experience and observation we beg of you: Be true to M. H. S. and keep up Class Spirit in both school work and athletics. Remember it is never wise to cheer for the opposing team even if they are your friends. And. dear Juniors, remember it is most important that you set a good example for the rest of the school. The cherub Freshman, the sophisticated Sophomores and next year’s bragging Juniors will all look up to you as their model. As the Seniors go, so goes the entire High School. Among those to succeed us there may be some who would like individual advice, and to them we now speak: To Vivian Seymour—giggling does not befit the dignity of a Senior. To Alice Silkworth—A Senior must never stay out late except on Friday and Saturday evenings. To Alice Case—It is a good plan to feed your horse the first part of the noon hour lest you forget it till the bell rings. To Anita McNulty—All work and no play will make ’Nita fade away. And to Lyndon, the only man in the class—Take good care of the girls and do not try any fancy driving on the way to school.

19 IT REPLY TO THE SENIORS As recipients of the Seniorship of M. H. S. we Juniors feel the great responsibility which will be placed upon us. But the dignity which we have been steadily acquiring during our high school course, will, we are sure, stand any test. We shall profit by your mistakes, O Seniors, you may be sure, for they are very plain to us. We will always be true to M. H. S. and uphold our school in every way possible. At least, dear Seniors, we will hold our class rings as treasures to be worn only by ourselves. What we always hope to be is an example to which all future M. H. S. classes may look up. The time will soon come when we can no longer give you any of our good advice so, as opportunity offers, we advise: Hazel Tuthill: Don’t talk to yourself: it’s a sign you’re getting old. Hope Duryee: In regard to stocks and bonds— ‘‘Watch your step”. Millicent Tuthill: School teachers should never “giggle”. Flora Binns: Keep up your singing, we are sure you will some day equal Alma Gluck. Anita McNulty. As it’s done in Mattituck: A glance, a smile. Blush! A walk, a talk. Crush!
