14 PURPLE AND WHITE ECHO than any of the other phones I ' ve seen. It has candy in it, that you can nibble on while you are talking with that cer- tain Sophomore girl. Alexander Ciszewski — Toppy, you ought to be indebted to me for life. Here ' s a skeleton key that will fit any lock in the house, any time of the night. See? You won ' t have to wake up your kid brother now. After all, the kid needs his rest, too. Henry Kugler- — Henry, we tried to get you a trumpet, but you know how priorities are. The closest I could get for you is this bubble pipe. You can ' t play I ' m Forever Blowing Bubbles on it, but you can do something much better. You can forever blow bubbles. Frank Osciak — Please don ' t get angry. It ' s that dumb clerk again! We asked for a real fishing line, and she gave us a spool of thread, instead. Do you think you can use it? Robert Sawicki — Bob, we are leaving you a package of hair pins. Notice, I said hair pins, not bobby pins. In case you have to set that wave, you ' ll have to use these, for bobby pins are practically out for the duration — priorities again, you know! Leonard Toczko — Jazz bows are nice Leo, but v e know that this tie would make you even more handsome. You won ' t mind wear- ing it to look more handsome, will you? Paul Dickinson — You certainly did a good job of catching in baseball. And just in case you ever want to play again and don ' t have the equipment, here is a part of it. It ' s a mask, although there isn ' t too much to it. It will still help, even though it only keeps your face from getting sun- burned. Edward Remiszewski — Rummie, look here! A pretty red bow! And it ' s all your own. Now you won ' t have to snitch any of the Freshmen girls ' bows! After all, stealing doesn ' t take you on the road to heaven. Isn ' t this a salvation? PHYLLIS ZEMBISKI ' 43 DOROTHY MAJESKEY ' 43 Theyll Never Forget ANNA BURDA The good marks in United States History RICHARD BELDEN The hour-long conversation on the telephone LUANA EBERLEIN The dates with the Coast Guard PAUL DICKINSON The honor of being president of the senior class IRENE HARUBIN What she learned in United States History HELEN KACINSKI The thrill of being chosen valedictorian HENRY KUGLER His uses of big words DOROTHY MAJESKEY When she was chosen for prize speaking JULIA NIEWINSKI Playing the piano FRANK OSCIAK The charming freshmen girls ROBERT SAWICKI The thrill of wearing his new cream flannels STACIA SLOVIKOSKI The good times bicycle riding FRANCIS SKOCZYLAS His eagerness to join the U.

SMITH ACADEMY 13 Class Day Program ADDRESS OF WELCOME We, the class of 1943, bid you — our friends, parents, teachers, and classmates — a cordial welcome. In our seemingly short but pleasant journey through Smith Academy we have received the utmost of encouragement and cooperation from all of you. We are glad to have you with us tonight, which foreshadows a turning point in most of our lives. In school we have followed a straight road, which in the near future will branch into many new directions. So tonight this informal program will hold for us its share of both happiness and sorrow. We hope you will enjoy it as much as we have enjoyed preparing it for you. PAUL DICKINSON ' 43 CLASS GIFTS Mary Cybulski — To Mary we leave this roll ' ing pin. You know, Mary, it ' s very small, but it will give him the general idea. Irene Harubin — Irene, we tried to get you a load of lumber, but you know, prior- ities are priorities. So, instead, we got you a box of toothpicks. As it is, you can at least make a miniature house with them. Helen Kacinski — Helen, how can I ever face you? I know that you want to be a nurse, and I honestly instended to give you a good start by giving you some first-aid bandage. But that dumb store clerk gave me this cheesecloth for dust- ers! Please, will you forgive me? Luana Eberlein — Luana, you can keep up your writing for a long time. It ' s not my fault. That dumb clerk!!! I asked for some air mail stationery and she gave me this giant writing pad, instead. Oh well, think of quantity and not qual- ity!!! Julia Niewinski — Julie, you lucky thing. Guess what I have for you? A beach wagon!! A priceless gift! Four perfectly good tires, and no gas needed. Now you will be able to amuse yourself until that Marine comes back. Anna Burda — Ann, miracles do happen. Look what we have! A wrist watch for you. And it really goes, if you follow di- rections. Ail you have to do is let the cold water run on it, jump on it three times, and give it a vitamin pill before each meal. Jeanne Wickles — Aha,, Jeannie. Guess what? Uh-huh. It ' s a comb. This will at least make it one time less that you have to look for one. Stacia Slovikoski — Stacia, we have often heard that you want to be a secretary. Well, you know what a helpful soul I am. I was going to help you by out- fitting you in small way. Here is an eraser, a paper clip, a ruler, and a rub- ber elastic. Rubber is so scarce that I could not get more than one slimsy rubber band. Take good care of it! Dorothy Majeskey — I wanted to get you a typewriter, but you know there is a war going on. So, instead, I got you some typing paper and a pencil for the future use. Do you think you will be able to print as well? Phyllis Zembiski — I honestly didn ' t know what to get you. But, as I walked around the five-and-ten, I noticed those flags, so I thought I would ge you one. It will come in handy, won ' t it? Richard Belden — Look, Belden, what we have for you! A nice little phone and a private line, at that. It ' s much better

SMITHACADEMY 15 Statistics Who ' s the cause of all the neighbors complaining? Yes, to be a Harry James Henry Kugler is training! As an athlete in S. A. he surely did score, And as mechanic in his father ' s garage he did even more. Julia Niewinski, short, dark and zippy, In that black Oldsmobile looks rather kippy, As for a Marine, he ' s the center of attraction All in all, the Cadet is the bigger part of the fraction. Edward Remiszewski, known to us as Rummy. Tried hard in Business Arithmetic not to seem like a dummy. The Assembly hall with the Freshmen girls was his favorite spot, And as business manager on the school paper he surely did a lot. Helen Kacinski, our class valedictorian, Makes the rest of us feel similar to a moron, As Editor-in-chief she did her best, There was hardly a day she had left to rest. As an office helper she does very well, And Dot Majeskey ' s giggle from afar one can tell, Her illuminating smile is really killing, And getting heck from the Principal is what she calls thrilling. This short, jolly girl whom we all call Chubby, I ' m sure she thinks Bunny will make a good hubby. Her outburst of laughter can be heard from afar, And as captain on the basketball team Phyllis Zembiski was a star. Stacia Slovikoski, rather tall and quiet, When she gets going, she ' s quite a riot. As treasurer of our class, she always did well, Our gratitude to her is hard to tell. Paul Dickinson, whom you seldom find sad, Who dares say he isn ' t a good-looking lad? As an athlete on our team he certainly did score, And as president of our class he did even more. Alec Ciszewski, better known as Toppy On the dance floor is quite hoppy. In classes he couldn ' t wait for the bell to ring, And as for girls, he had many on a string. Who is this girl known as Steeks? Who on the phone each night for two hours speaks. A tan Studebaker is her greatest delight, It ' s Irene Harubin, who ' s on the go each Saturday night. Frank Osciak, the glamour boy of our class, On the basketball floor sure was fast. In Problems class he liked to debate, And to get into the Navy he cannot wait.
