ODDS AND ENDS DOT DREW—We know it’s mean that sisters have to be in the class with “your” boy friend but never mind, Dot, Marjorie really took awfully good care of him; in fact, we hardly saw them apart once while we were away. However, accept this little piece of rope to be sure he’s firmly “tied” while in Southampton. JAMES ROBINSON—We really don’t know why you went south, Jim. Could it have been to gather more sunshine? If so please accept this little watering can and sprinkle some along the path of some one of our fair “misses”. We know it wouldn’t be in vain. ALICE DRUMM—To Alice we leave a file so that she may file all those letters that she gets so that she and Phyllis can have an easier way of talk- ing and arguing over who has received the more. FOSTER WELLS—To Foster we leave a very attractive young lady. We really do admire your haughtiness but have you never considered the thrill you are depriving some young lady of by being so “exclusive” and “distant”? CATHERINE ELLISTON—A loyal Junior, a most loyal one, may we present you with an electric dishwasher then the next time you are the only Junior who shows up to wash dishes after a Prom you can make more progress. FRANK PHILLIPS—A hook on “How to behave oneself while at Wash- ington” so you won’t be cutting up any such capers as Clarence and have to spend your time in bed as a result of “eating your breakfast too fast”. ROSEMARY LOADER—We admire your sweet shy and girlish effect Rosemary but why not try a little foolishness like the rest. So here’s a book entitled “The Modern Flapper”.

HALSEY HOWELL—A little courage so that next year you will be able to talk up to Miss Blythe. CONISTANCE LISBON—A pair of red stockings to match your coat. MAY MOORE—A Virgil Pony so that you won’t have to work so hard next year. JOHN WARDE—A little more heighth so that you won’t disgrace the Senior Class next year. LAURA CALLAGHAN—A muffler so that while attending the movies you won’t disturb “Dutch” Wickapogue’s faithful movie attendant with your continuous chatter. BILLY CHEESNICK—We will you Griffin’s Patented Line, including his walk, conversation and that soulful expression. GEORGE BUCHHEIT—To George we give a thorough knowledge of American history so that he may enjoy a pleasurable year with our amni- gerent and omniscient professor, Mr. R. Carlton Steinmetz. VIRGINIA HERMAN—A book on “The Appreciation of Black Shirts”. VIOLA HERMAN—A steady beau in S. H. S. HELEN KOSKI—A yard more material so that you may lengthen your skirts. BOB LIND—The philosophy of love on which you may ponder on your many and diverse travels. Note well and take action. LILLIAN STRONG—A deed for a permanent home in Bridgehampton so that you may be near your friends and Claire.

ODDS AND ENDS Oh! Where Oh! Where has my Bowser gone Oh! Where Oh! Where can he be. He’s been away so long, so long. Will he ever come back to me? P. S. Perhaps when roses grow on Lilac trees. HULLA FRANKENBACH. We congratulate you, fairest and modest little “Sparrow,” on your success so far in your endurance race with the boy friend. Lots of luck for the future and may your home be a happy one. HELEN SCHWENK. We enjoyed hearing “Steaky talk about aow nice the liberty fellows were and how glad she was to be back to her History again. Can you imagine “Hefty” not talking? “Hel” did have a tendency to desire the love of more than one and to have more than one date a night but now that she is a senior and considers herself much older she has given up these thoughts and is writing a book entitled “How to Make Love tor the benefit of Bob Peck and “Passion” Phillips. , RULIF VAN BRUNT. We advise this brainy individual to pick tor himself, a blonde or brunette which ever he desires and venture down to “Lover’s Hop” some night so as to get his mind off his studies for a change. Remember, Rulif, a thought killed a man once. . „ CAROLINE WILDE. Tony seems to think “life is just a path of Roses by the times he takes in getting to her class after gym. She’s sure fast when she takes it in her mind to be, but we think she either has spring fever or else she’s dreaming about the “Bunny” who didn’t come on Eastei. LETTY WOOD. Well well Blondes or Brunettes? Seems to us that someone prefers a nice quiet sedate blonde. Now Letty we adivse you to beware of the high Spots and to get in at ten sharp, every night so as not to lose your beauty sleep. . ., JULIA SAKOWICZ. A girl with high ideals such as regular on the basketball team and a nice tall blonde, with blue eyes. BEATRICE LINDBERG.

A girl who is studying very hard to win for herself the honor of being the only one to say “Peter Piper” without stuttering. CLARKE SMITH. To this bright young heartbreaker we advise a portable carriage for an emergency in case “Sciueak” should get tired of walking. As usual he’s up to his old trick of robbing the cradle. RUTH RAYNOR. We advise you to be very careful and not lose your heart as you have your voice. We understand you are interested in a certain dark young man, who drives a “Star” Don’t fall too hard Ruthie.

I was walking along Long Island Avenue, looking at the sky- scrapers as they towered up into the azure sky. I came to the corner and 1 noticed a very strange happening. Two men, having passed each other, looked back and expressed their recognition by a fond handshake and I over- heard the ensuing conversation. Eddie—Hello, Bob. Gee, it’s good to see you again after all these years. How have you been? . Bob—Fine. You’re looking rather well yourself. You know, I was just wishing I’d see someone of my old classmates of S.H.S. and here you come along. What have you been doing for the last 15 years ? Eddie—Well, after graduating from Notre Dame as an electrical engi- neer, I played baseball for the N. Y. Hankees for seven years and now I own the electrical plant that supplies this city. I am hanpily married 'to a Liberty girl and have two children. What have you been doing?
