10 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD ACCEPTANCE OF CLASS GIFT. Members of the Class of 1922: In behalf of the teachers and undergrad¬ uates of the W. L. H. S., I wish to express to you, our gratitude for your parting gift. We feel sure that in presenting us with two of the best magazines, the “World’s Work,” and the “Literary Digest” you have our in¬ terests at heart. While your gift is not a large one, it is one that will be of great help to us all anu should prove invaluable to the English De¬ partment as well as the History Depart¬ ment and the Current Events Class. We shall make the very best use of this gift when it comes to the discussion of the topics of the day. Again we thank you and wish you all suc¬ cess in the years to come. Nathaniel Pastore, ’23. -(o)- CLASS POEM. Every class must have its poet, But in a class of twenty, Why should they pick on a person like me W’hen there is talent a-plenty? But alas, since the great and good powers that be Have given this difficult task to me, It’s not for me to question why But rather for me to do or die. And if the critics with instinct unerring, Call it—“neither flesh, fowl nor good red herring,” It certainly would grieve me sore But I’ve done my best, and could you do more? Now, to our Principal, tried and true, And staff of teachers, faithful few, Who have spared no effort to pull us through, Our most heartfelt thanks are due. Classmates, we have stood together Through both fair and stormy weather, Brimming with laughter or swimming with tears; This is the end of our High School years. We cry with deep grief, “Alas, and alack! We go forth from this school never more to come back.” Some may cling to the old home-lot “The world forgetting—by the world forgot.” While others, venturing more, Seek their fortune on some faraway shore, And then - God rest you, merry girls and gentle-men!

12 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD PRESENTATION OF GIFTS. THE PRESENTATION. A Visit to Grandmother’s Attic. After many unsuccessful shopping tours and many thoughtful hours spent in trying to find appropriate gifts for our worthy classmates, we became discouraged and blue. We knew that graduation was near at hand and we just had to have some little token for each one of you. At last an idea came to me. We would go over and see what Grandmother could do for us. She had helped me out of lots of difficulties and I was sure that she wouldn’t fail us in this one. It didn’t take Dot, Doris and me long to reach her cottage, as it is but a short walk from my home. We found her sitting by the hearth with her knitting in her lap. We immediately related our difficulties, but all the encouragement she gave us was “don’t be discouraged, it’s always darkest just be¬ fore dawn, you know, and you still have a few days left before graduation. That cheered me up a great deal even though the Twin’s faces were long and pessimistic, be¬ cause you see I had great faith in Grand¬ mother. I knew that if she thought there yet was hope that we would find it there un¬ der the roof of that dear little cottage. She told us that she had been busy all morning cleaning the attic, “looking over her traps’’ as she called it, and that she ex¬ pected to finish cleaning that afternoon. Being anxious to see the old attic we at once offered to stay and lend a hand. She was awfully glad of help and immediately consented to let us stay. As we ascended the stairs there was an air of mystery about the place. Now as I look back on that trip I think I was almost afraid, my fear being that something might happen before we saw this wonderful room. The attic itself was similar to all attics, but the things in it were rare. It contained everything, we thought. There were swords, a spinning wheel, cradles, books covered with dust and cobwebs, and trunks, all sizes and shapes. We decided to explore in as many of these trunks as possible, each of us to take a different one. Silence reigned over the old attic. For Classmates, will you believe it, right there in those very trunks, one of which we have here to-night, we found just the things we wanted, and from it we have selected a gift for each of you. (Cornelius O’Leary Box of Grit.) “What in the world is this? Oh, I see, its ‘Grit.’ Surely it was put here for our Worthy President; and so:’’ To Cornelius, better known as “Con,” We’ll give this Box of Grit And only hope its constant use Will stir him up a bit. (Raymond Leary Hair Net.) “I am quite sure that this will be appre¬ ciated by Leary.” Now come forward, good friend Raymond, Here’s a nice Hair Net for you, Since those golden locks so wavy, Just refuse to hide from view. (Edward McCullough A Dress.) A Dress I find for Eddie, It’s cut on Paris Lines In this he’ll ere be ready To join the girls’ good times. (Mary Kirk A Parrot.) A Parrot now comes into view With quite a fund of slangy talk And Mary Kirk, it’s meant for you To speak for you on “Life’s Long Walk.” (Eleanor Root Dark Glasses.) “Oh, here’s just the thing for you Ellie.” We know your eyes will not behave, They flirt with boys in classes, But boys, from ruin we must save So I’ll give you these Dark Glasses. (Juliet Morehouse Charm.) “And this is most fitting for Juliet.” The boys all fall for Judy ’Cause she works her charms so well; But here’s a lasting Charm for life She may need it.—Who can tell ? (Mary Carroll Book on “Liberty”.) “This reminds me of Mary Carroll.” We know you love to whisper, And in school to ere be free, But most of all we know you’ll like This Book on “Liberty.” (Dorothy Parsons Rules for Marcel.) “Dot, I’ll give this to you.” We know you do not need it You do your hair so well But in this book you’ll surely find Rules for a new Marcel.
