Class Gifts Each member of the class will come to the stage to receive a gift to remind him, in the years to come, of the class of ’ 52 . Here’s another girl for Delbert Alving. Next tim.e you go to a nightclub you’ll see Delbie flirting with the girls, instead of playing his accordion. I’m sure he won’t mind if he has just one more girl added to his collection. To Nancy Bain we leave this apron. It might come in handy if, during the summer, she continues her present employment. We leave a car to Ernest Barilone. We hope that now with this gift he’ll be able to get to work on time. To one of the finest boys in the school, Andre Beshta, we give this medal. We hope he continues his good work. To Naomi Boothroyd, one of the quietest girls in our class, we present this little bell so that her pa- tients at St. Elizabeth’s will know she’s around. To Ralph Cantino, we give these vitamin pills in hopes that when he gets them ' he’ll look at least half awake behind Ereddie’s counter. To Mary Cirino we leave this banana peel so that some day she can make use of her accident policy. We leave these two gas pumps to Leo Clark. We hope that this little gift will give him a start when he starts his own business. To Carolyn Cuttell and Elaine Lornetson, two of the quietest girls in the class, we give these noise makers. We hope that in years to come we will not only see their smiling faces but also hear a little more from them. This box of smelling salts is for Pat Dawson. We hope she won’t need them, but in case her first major operation isn’t a success it will come in handy for either her or her poor unfortunate patient. To Owen Duggan, we leave this miniature basket- ball. If he continues playing, we hope this gift will bring him lots of luck. To Dick Dunnigan, we present this baseball glove. We know that in the future he’ll be able to use it. To Thomas Eley, we leave this new truck so that when he delivers ice it w ' on’t melt before he gets to his destination. We give this little airplane to Ruth Garfield so that when she leaves good old Maynard she can make as many trips as she’d like back here to visit us. To the artists of our class, Miriam Salmi and Janet Gentsch, we leave these pallets and paint brushes in the hope that they can continue to develop their artis- tic ability. To Janet Gould we give this stool so that she can reach the top of the filing cabinet, although we hope that someday Janet will not need this gift. To Kay Higgins we give a pair of scissors so her patients at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital can go home in style with their new poodle cuts. (That is, if they can go home). We give this box of cough drops to Loretta lanna- relli hoping that all during her career her voice will stay as nice and dear as it has been these past four years. We give to Wanda Jasielonis this pair of binocu- lars so she can keep her eye on a certain someone when he’s away. We leave this blue Mercury to Helen Johnson. In case a certain somebody’s breaks down, we’re sure this will come in handy. We give this piece of sheet music to Peggy Jones. We know that she will master it as she has the others. We give this secret formula to Bob Kilkenney so that in the future he’ll be making the best frappes in town. We think that Dick King will like this little gift. It’s a joke book so he can stay well informed on the latest jokes. We leave John Korsman this little bottle of gaso- line so when he’s with this certain someone he’ll never get stuck. We think David Laskowsky will like this shoe polish so he can look all shined up when he takes the next trip to Sudbury. [ 31 ]
