THE CHATTERBOX 15 is her inability to be heard in class. So for the benefit of the general public and her future teachers, we present this mega- phone. We hope, Dot, you will use it to the best advantage, and be sure to have it handy when you say the fatal “Yes”. Sarah— It was hard to choose an appropriate gift for a classmate as loyal and devoted as Sarah. We know her hobby is horses. This little image will keep her company on any journey she may wish to take, always bringing with it the memory of the friend- ship and good wishes of her classmates. Herman— We all know Pud by the rattle of his Ford, and we know he makes the most of Senior Privileges; so it is with the great- est of pleasure that we present this stop-light. And be it under- stood, Herman, that it is for the benefit of pedestrians and other Ford owners as well as for your own personal protection. And it means “Stop”,with a capital S. Gladys— We are sure none of the graduates will ever forget Gladys and her never-failing ability to answer in class. Her smile is worth remembering. During spare moments she carries on correspondence with some one in a far-away state. We know these stamps will come in handy, Gladys. If there are any left over, please remember us. Robert— Bob’s fame is already established in Wells River High School. He is master of anything he turns his hand to. From all appearances he might be a United States Senator,.or Judge of the Supreme Court. We are presenting this book of debates with the hope that what ever occupation he turns to, he will not forget his talent for debating, which we all remember. Helen— It is hard to choose a worthy gift for Helen and do her justice. We all know her chief delight and capability is talking

14 THE CHATTERBOX ton is Grand Isle County, a miniature Isle of Man in the waters of Lake Champlain. One reaches it by Sand-Bar Bridge and may drive for hours over hills that roll to the water's edge. One of Vermont's greatest natural resources, and one which should be treated with due consideration, is her forests. Without these forests there would be no trout streams, no game for the hunter, and few attractive places for the camper and summer tourist. What would the Green Mountain Trail be without the forest cover, or who would care for Lake Willough- by without the surrounding trees? Our many beautiful drives, our numerous streams and towering mountains would present no lure if it were not for the forests. Vermont, with her lakes and streams, her mountains and valleys, and healthful climate, presents an unsurpassed playground to its visitors from other states, not because of the lakes, streams, mountains and valleys, but because these mountains are covered with trees, the roads are shaded, the streams in the valleys are clear, and the lakes are surrounded by forests. These place her among the foremost recreational centers of the east and advertise the state as a com- fortable place in which to live, and make it above all. a delight- ful haven for all. KATHERINE BAILEY. CLASS GIFTS It is the custom of each graduating class to give some little remembrance to each of its members. We all have some hobby or peculiarity by which we will be remembered fondly in the future. In presenting these gifts in behalf of the class I wish to say that they are given in a spirit of humor, mingled with the siadness of parting for an indefinite time. When you look at them, later in life, please think of the class with the assurance that you will never be forgotten. Dorothy— There is no disputing the value gained from whatever Dot says—if you are able to hear her. Bu.t the biggest drawback

16 THE CHATTERBOX and using big words. This little dictionary will come in handy. Helen, and we hope it will help you in becoming master of the entire English language. Carrie— We suspect that Carrie plans to be a home-maker in the near future and we hope this little chest will be useful and or- namental in her new home. It cannot hold all the good wishes of her classmates, but it will be a reminder of happy high-school days spent together. James— It is hard to realize that James is a Senior, though he is a thoroughly good sport and always ready to take the girls for a ride. We want him to remember his school days, and are sure this little doll will keep him company when he is lonely; per- haps it will remind him of a thrilling school-day romance. Katherine— K” has a faculty of collecting rings of all styles and sizes; -maybe tho, it’s just a hobby. Anyway, we know she will find this little ball of twine useful. It will help hold the rings on, until she gets one that fits, and then it will be easy to “string” them along. Here’s hoping she ties to the right one. Donald— The only cloud on the horizon of Donald’s life is the fact that it is necessary for him to carry the pictures of all his girl friends in his pocket where they get sadly crumpled and crushed. This album will hold only a limited number, we are sorry that there is not more space, but we hope by the time this is filled. Donald, there will be a permanent enlargement in your heart. Evelyn— Henry Ford has made many a humble person happy, but when he made a brand new Ford Coupe that was guaranteed to run from here to Tilton, N. H.. he probably didn’t realize the pleasure he was giving Evelyn. This car is only a small replica
