14 PURPLE AND WHITE ECHO Class Statistics Charles Drake, the Romeo of our class, In the senior play, he caught the fancy of many a lass, On the baseball field he is 0. K. In Aeronautics class he shines as bright as day. Helen Serowick has been a clever school paper editor. For the honor students she has been a close competitor. In typing she has accuracy and speed, And in bookkeeping she also takes the lead. Vera Mielesko, who is always gay, Should not be teased so much by J. For school each morning she was usually late, In the D. R. Room faithfully she kept her date. Helen Kochan, the model of our class, Sets aside her homework until for the last She has always wanted to be a star But for walking, Hollywood is a little too far. Janet Moskowicz, our quiet little girl, On our trip to New York was always in a whirl. She ' s musical, for the piano she likes to play, And she leaves her studying for some other day. Verna Skorupski a stenographer would like to be As secretary of Student Council much practice had she, As a cheer leader of S. A. she did well, The smile of this third honor student everyone can tell. Edward Zima, a blond handsome lad, so tall, Played soccer and was Captain for basketball. Known in U. S. class for his debates, He is a guy with quite a few dates. Edward Malinowski, better known as Mai, Is quite a friend of a junior gal. In all sports he is a whiz And in Aggie he has never flunked a quiz. In Bookkeeping she does very well, And her giggle from afar one can tell. As a guard on the basketball team Clara Toczydlowski was certainly on the beam.

SMITH ACADEMY 13 Janet Moskowicz — For Janet we bought this address book and put all her classmates addresses in it. When Janet takes her position with the FBI in Washington, she won ' t have any excuses for not dropping us a line once in a while. Helen Serowick — To Helen, one of our book- keeping geniuses, we bought this bottle of ink, so if she goes further to school and takes an advanced course in Book- keeping, she won ' t have to be always borrowing someone else ' s. Charles Drake — This summer Charles will be at the top of his profession; that is, at the top of the telegraph poles, fixing wires. He ought to have an electric plant of his own, and we would like to set him up in business, but this is the best that can be done for him. Plant this seed in good soil, and in a few months you will have some electric plants of your own; at least plants that will produce more shocks to the acre than any electric plant on earth. Albert Vachula — We have for Albert this beautiful piece of ribbon .We thought it would be nice if Albert began returning to a few of his former girl friends the ribbons he has taken from them during his short stay at Smith Academy. Clara Toczydlowski — For Clara we have a little bottle of poison ivy medicine. This is to remind her to look before she rubs poison ivy on herself to prove that her beloved Smith has none growing along its walls. Edward Malinowski — Since rings for 12c are rather difficult to purchase nowadays, we decided to get Eddie a nice spool of white thread as a reminder of what he is going to get for his girl in years to come. Since we are naturally generous, we are providing thread for both of them, so that neither of them will forget. Sophie Pinkoski — This little box of matches will just suit its purpose for Sophie, be- because every time she takes driving lessons, she knocks down a few telephone poles and these will be wonderful sub- stitutes to replace them. Edith Filipek— For Edith I have a little box of mascara. This sweet looking girl is known both far and wide for her beauti- ful brown eyes. With this new enchant ' ment for your eyes, we hope you can cap- ture that Army flier who belongs to the silver wings you wear. Laura Bielecki — For Laura we have this Phillies cigar. Every time Laura goes to a wedding she helps herself to a few, and says they are for her father. Laura, how you talk!
