JUNE 1934 THE S. H. S. AUTHENTIC 15 pigtails on Sunday and curled during the week — you see Aunt Mamie was that contrary. Just as the air was beginning to clear a little the door opened and in came Uncle Jake and Aunt Sa- die and Cousins Jeremiah, Josephine, Anastasia, Aloysius, Gonzaga, and Amelia. Upon being in- formed as to the reason why we seemed so upset, Uncle Jake, who is a furniture mover, made his sug- gestion. “Well, now, I’ll tell you what I would do if he was my son,” he said, with an air of profound wisdom. “I’d send him to one o’ them schools where they learn them to be barbers. They’s good money in that and it’s easy work too. I wish all I had to do was stand around with a pair o’ scissors in me mit all day. That’s what I call givin’ yer kids a break — learn ’em to be somethin’ better than you are.” “Well, I should think that was the craziest idea I ever heard of. Make them think they are better than you an’ there’s no telling what will happen. If you ask me, I should say that these kids is hard enough to handle as they are without making them any worse.” All this was added very generously by Aunt Sadie. Soon the entire family was engaged in another nice, quiet, peaceful little family dispute. Still, I sat in the bleachers waiting for a foul ball to come my way. The next morning I went to school greatly puz- zled — should I be a horse doctor, a Fuller Brush man, a cop, or a barber? My teachers had told me many times that they knew everything so I deter- mined to ask their advice. Miss Bonjour, the French teacher, suggested that I take a post-graduate course, but the Principal dis- agreed, saying that he had had enough trouble with me already and didn’t want to see me around any more. In fact, he even told me that he was only graduating me to get rid of me. Prof. Test-tube, my chemistry teacher, advised me to get a job I could find which had nothing to do with chemistry. The Latin teacher, Miss Cicero, didn’t feel capable of advising me one way or anoth- er. Miss Trigy Nometry, who teaches math, told me that her father needed someone to help him dig potatoes out in Idaho. The other suggestions were: errand boy, flagpole-sitter, bus driver, teacher, doc- tor, lawyer, Indian chief, etc. That afternoon I went home greatly puzzled — should I be a horse doctor, a Fuller Brush man, a cop, a barber, a post-graduate, a potato digger, an errand boy, a flagpole-sitter, a bus driver, a teacher, a doctor, a lawyer, or an Indian Chief? I tried using the elimination system all that after- noon but by suppertime my list had grown from thirteen to twenty-one possibilities. That night I went to the movies and saw a picture about the Old Homestead and that gave me the grand idea which solved my problem. I am starting tomorrow to hitch-hike around the world in order to get local color for a book I am going to write entitled, “Camping in the Fells,” or “Getting Back to Nature at Spot Pond.” The Three Mutzinteers. THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE CLASS OF 1934 We, the Class of 1934 of the Stoneham High School, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and thirty-four, being of a sound mind and body, do hereby proclaim this masterpiece to be our last will and testament and do part with our gifts, real and otherwise, as follows, namely in fun: Item I. It is our wish and desire that the Junior Class be given the shiny, unworn athletic equipment that they may be aided in carrying on the record breaking victories of dear old S. H. S. Item II. We present to the Senior Faculty a book of gags.” After having such an intelligent class of “gaggers,” like ours, life in school is going to be dull — but a whole lot easier to swallow. Item III. It is also our most sincere desire that a pencil with a musical top be willed to S. H. S. and be given to Miss Garland; this is to relieve the monotony of the incessant tapping noise and put a little rhythm into her favorite pastime of tapping desk covers with her pencil. Item IV. For ourselves we donate one row in Room 11, so we may, at any time, come back to school and laugh at, as well as pester, the unfortu- nate, suffering detention students. We also leave these helpful hints: 1. To future students of Room 15: Remember to laugh softly at anything that might happen in class — for, if you arouse the curiosity of Mr. Davis, and do not inform him of every detail — well, you will find out for yourselves that you’d better tell him and get it over with. 2. Remember, you lucky ones who are going to Room 18, that Mr. Hoyt sees all, knows all, and doesn’t hesitate in informing you of his knowledge. 3. And remember that report cards appear only four times a year— but — that’s enough to make any- body give up. In witness whereof we hereby set our hands and seal. Class of 1934. Witnesses: Earle Thomas Thibodeau. Rose K. Coy. Fannie M. Spinney.
