ADDRESS OF WELCOME. Members of the School Board, Superintend¬ ent, Teachers, Undergraduates, Parents and Friends:— It is with pleasure that I, in behalf of the Class of 1924, welcome you here this even¬ ing. Every class that enters High Scfool has for its goal the day when it will graduate, when each member will receive a diploma t signifv his successful completion of the work laid out by the school. This was true of our class, and now that we are about to attain that object, one expects to find us all very happy. But this is not. entirely true. Graduation, besides the feeline of triumph, brings wicn it the realizaton that the happiest day of our lives are at an end. People c ay thst work in High School is a forerunner of one’s labors in later life, but let the pupil remem¬ ber that in life’s school he does rot have the knowledee and experience of teachers at hand to help with some problems that seems too difficult for him o solve. Then he will have but his own knowledge, ob¬ tained from these teachers, at the lowest o prices—attention. But this change has to come and we be¬ lieve we are prepared for it. The program to-night is an example of the bright side of our school life whereas the graduation ex¬ ercises to-morrow night will endeavor to present the more serious side. Let me assure you once more, dear friends, that we are glad you have come here to-night and we hope our program will repay you for your effort. Joseph Conrry, ’24. -(o)- CLASS SONG.

We’ll remember you taught us to always do right. In our chain of school memories there are links you know That are losing their grasp, and we’ll soon have to go.

S. we have had the co-operation of our teachers and schoolmates in all our activities and undertakings. As the time is near at hand to bid them farewell, we wish 16 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD to leave some token to show our apprecia¬ tion of their interest in us and of our affec¬ tion for the school. This year a Debatimr Club has been or¬ ganized. composed of members of the three upper classes. Its purpose is to practice speaking and parliamentary law. As the years pro by this dub will grow in size and power. The members will grain training in clear thinking: as well as in speaking before an audience and thorougrh information on many subjects. Class spirit will be in¬ creased through +he who’esome rivalry of the debators. Therefore in behalf of the Class of 1924, T present this silver cup to the W. L. H. S., honin ' to encourage the minds to take grreater interest in debating. Each year this cun is to be enerraved wi h the name and class of the best debator in the school. We hope that all members of the school will derive an incentive to noble school spirit and always remember the class of 1924 Nellie Connolly, ’24. - fo) - ACCEPTANCE OF THE GIFT. In behalf of the School and the Debatin ' Societv T wish to evnress our thanks and. apnreciation for this beautiful g’ft. We all feel that the Class of 1924 has used good judgment in selecting this grift. It will always be before us to inspire us to do our verv best in debating and will pro¬ mote our class and school spirit. A Debating: Society is of great value to a school. It encourages the pupils to take an interest in outside affairs and by debatin ' with other High Schools it helps to raise the standard of the school. A Debatin ' Soc : ety trains the members in public speaking: and enables them to discuss inte ' ligrently the important affairs of the day. Whenever we look at this cun we shall be reminded of this class. We shall be in¬ terested in their welfare and hope that they wMt always be loyal to Windsor Locks Higrh School. Arlene Hancock, ' 25. - (o)- “LISTENING IN. Well, since we’ve installed one of the latest radio sets, we can even hear about our old classmates, in carrying on the work of the world. Here goes. W. G. Y.. Schenectady—Joseph Conroy, president of the New York National Bank, wi’l talk on “How to hold a meeting in Parliamentary order. That ' s a good sub- mot for Joe to talk on, as back in 1924 our ’ass meetings were held in any kind but Parliamentary order. W. E. A. F., New York—Results of Candy Fatin ' Contest, held bv Kibbe Bros. Kat.h- rvn Sweeney leads by a majority of two pounds. We know you will win Kathrvn. as you could outdo any of your friends when it c«me to eating candy. Kav was fond of all kinds of candy, even a lollypop, and we always predicted a sweet future. W. O. R.. Newark, N. J.—Lister Davies was elected supervisor of the “Kellogg Corn Flake” nlant in New Jersey at the meeting this afternoon. Good luck. Les. We a 1 know vou would some day be at the head of the Kelloggs.” W. B. Z.. Springfield—Miss Agnes Flana- e-an. one of Connecticut ' s best politicians. wil 1 talk on “Why we should have better roads between Windsor Looks and Spring- field.” We always knew. Aggie, that you looked out for the convenience of the mo- tor : sts. W. N. A. C.. Boston, Mass.—Charles Ken¬ nedy formerly of Windsor Locks. Connecti¬ cut. broke all records for adding long col¬ umns of figures in a very short time. We always knew you would succeed in account¬ ing. as in our Commercial Arithmetic Class you were very clever in addition. W. J Z . New York—Mrs. Olds, formerly Mary Caffrev, private secretary of John Wanamaker. will speak on “Wasting time.” Frank, do you remember when Mary worked at Olds Whinples,’ the president of the comnanv saw her primping, up and re¬ marked. “You are wasting too much time fixing up.” and she answered, “Indeed I don’t think I’m wasting time. I’ve been bo r e nn ' v six months and I’m engaged to the Junior partner already.” W. J. A. R.. Providence, Farm Reports— George Lashway. one of the leading farmers in New England, is now manager of the largest plantations in Warehouse Point, Conn. He has two hundred women and fifty men under his charge. I bet George is happy among so many ladies. Don’t vou think so? He was always in his glory when there were girls around him. W. A. A. M., Newark—Nellie Connolly THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 17 has opened a hairdressing parlor at the Biltmore Hotel, New York. Miss Connolly went abroad and studied hairdressing for two years. She is one of the best marcellers in New York. Well, Nellie, you have reach¬ ed your goal. In those happy school days you could tell any girl how she should wear her hair to make her look attractive. You were always right, too, in your prophecy. W. A. M., New York—James O’Leary, one of the world’s famous fancy dancers, has just signed a contract with the Metropolitan Company of New York to dance for them. Mr. O’Leary has been with “A1 Jolson” for the past three years and has made a hit with the public. Well, Jimmie, we never thought that your demonstrations of your light steps would some day make you fa¬ mous. We hope you get as much applause as you did from your classmates back in your High School days. W. W. J., Detroit—Gertrude Cone has just returned from Paris, where she has completed a picture of Louis I, which has brought her world fame. She will live in Suffield upon her return where she will con¬ duct an art school. You were always draw¬ ing pictures in school every chance you got. But why did you select Louis I for a sub¬ ject? Oh! of course, I know, you once knew Louis whose picture you used to draw. Was it he who gave you your inspiration ? W. O. O., Philadelphia—Raymond Hancock, alias Bobby Strength, takes one of his fa¬ mous dives. He has out-swum all athletes, and has now become the long-distance swim¬ mer of the world. Well Ray, you have made a name for yourself in the athletic world. You were always going swimming, you and Jimmie, up to the Upper Basin. I suppose you were practicing your famous dives. K. S. R., Buffalo—Ethel Goldfarb has pur¬ chased the Woolworth building. She in¬ tends to add more to it and make it the largest department store in the world. Miss Goldfarb is one of New York’s most efficient business women. Why Ethel, you surprise us. We remember when you were going to school how you would hustle home and work in your father’s store. The towns¬ people all thought you a good saleslady, and predicted a future of that sort for you. Well, seeing I’ve heard about the careers of half of the class I think I’ll let you listen in and hear the rest. P. S. T., Holyoke—James Pickles runs from W indsor Locks to Holyoke in ninety minutes. He was one of the fastest Marathon runners in the Olympic races held in Eng¬ land. We knew Jimmie was a fast runner, but wonder why he chose to run to Holyoke. Oh! I know, there must be some attraction up there. W. .J. Z., New York—There were over five hundred people in front of Child’s bakery window to-day. The big attraction was the demonstration of the new electric stove. Miss Mary Titus cooked several things, among was a loaf of Johnny cake that was baked in fifteen minutes. Mary was very fond of baking Johnny cake. I wonder why. Do you think she liked one Johnny? W. Q. A. O., New York—Robert Jackson purchased to-day the interest of all the stockholders in the “New York Times.” This is one of the largest deals in real estate in the history of New York. Just think our old classmate Jack belongs to the business world. Well, do you remember when he used to open up King’s newspaper stand every morning, and peddle papers at night ? B. A. U., Buffalo—Clara Blodgett, head buyer at Tiffany’s has gone abroad. When she returns she will bring with her the latest things in beads and necklaces. So Clara is in the jewelry business at last. She had a passion for jewelry, especially beads. Remember the day Clara came in with the long string of wooden beads. We all laughed, because we were ignorant of the latest styles in necklaces. P. D. A. Q., New Haven—Mildred Orvis has broken two records in Tango Dancing, but also has worn out shoes after shoes. She has now started a tour of our country. Throngs of many thousands greet her everywhere. For those living near Hartford and New Haven there will be, no doubt, pleasure to hear of her coming visit next June. She is now exhibiting a new step which she has designed. Can that be the Mildred Orvis we knew? She is stepping now. I ' ll any. Well keep it up, Millie—I’ll open a shoe-shop—I can see my future fur¬ nishing shoes for Mildred Orvis. W. E. A. F., New York—Robert Pickles has won the lasso throwing contest at the Rodeo in Madison Square Garden. Don’t you think he will hold the championship for a good number of years ? Bob always had a good line. Sh! Sh! K. D. K. A., Pittsburg—Miss Byrne, whose well-known stage name is “Myrtle Root,” is honoring Windsor Locks with a visit ' . It is rumored that she is giv¬ ing a ball in her new home. Oh! May, how 18 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD we envy you with your talent and fame. Well in our Senior play you certainly did wrell. Good luck. N. Q. A. S.„ Windsor Locks—The Wind¬ sor Locks Hiph School has increased so largely that it was necessary to employ an assistant stenoeraphy teacher. Out of one hundred applicants, Miss Marparet Chesnalevich, a former student of the school, was piven the position. Well, I’m plad Map- pie pot it. She was very pood in shorthand and she has such a pleasinp disposition, I’m sure all the pupils will like her. E. O. S., Broad Brook—Miss Mary Ches¬ nalevich has opened a tea room in Scantic. All the country clubs motor there Sundays for their outinps. It is a very pretty place, situated on a hill overlookinp the valley. Well, I’m plad Mary is in business fo� her¬ self. She was always independent. When I pet a Ford I’ll motor over to see her. Josephine Wallace, ’24. Frank Boyle, ' 24. -to)- PROPHECY ON THE PROPHETS. It was in the year of the presidential election in 1940 that I visited Washinpton. D. C. All Washinpton was aplow with ex¬ citement about the eominp election for pres¬ ident. As soon as I arrived, I went di’-e tW to the Senate, to hear the campaipn issues discussed. Suddenly a man arose to speak. When I saw him I reoopnized him at once. He was the Honorable Frank Boyle, now senator from Connecticut. I was not surprised to find him there because while he was in my class in Windsor Locks Hiph School he was considered one of the best speakers. After the session had closed I pained an interview with him and we talked over old times, when we were students at the same school. He invited me to dine with him at his home in Washinpton and after dinner to attend the Washinpton Opera House, for which he had two box seats. About midway in the propram that eve n- inp. a little sinerer came out on the stape and was met with a preat applause. I asked my friend who she was, but the only satisfaction T om him w � s to wait until after h° concert, so I sat back in my chair and listened to her sonp. Her voic« sounded familiar to me and I tried to think where I had heard it before. After the opera, Frank introduced me to this little artist, and who do you think she was? Why it was no other than Miss Josephine Wallace, the Prima Donna of 1940. We three had a very happy reunion that nipht and reviewed our school days in the Windsor Locks Hiph School. James Pickles, ’24. -(o)- CLASS HISTORY. Robert—Well, Kathryn, now that our days as classmates are at an end. let us think of the happy memories that will alw-ays be cherished of our four years in the Windsor Locks Hiph School. Kathryn—That will be fun. Let’s review our class history in detail. Robert—In the fall of 1920 thirty-three happy children entered the “little red school- house” on the hill with an importance that cannot be expressed. That feelinp, however, was quicklv diminished by the scornful elances of the bip kids, otherwise the Seniors. Kathryn—They were the Class of 1921 who threw the cold water on all our wild pranks. They considered us babies until after our successful appearance in rhetori- cals. In February we had a sleiphride, chaperoned by the Misses Eastman and Hef- ferman. All enjoyed a pleasant eveninp. Then, we, the bold little Freshies, were piven an opportunity to prove our stability. Some seemed weak in the knees but we overcame that difficulty when we saw the eyes of the upner classmen fixed upon us. We weren’t poinp to let them phase us. Robert—Then came the second year in which we exerted the ereatest effort to be silly and noisy. Miss Gardner, our Enplish teacher, varied the routine of the Enplish class occasionally bv sendinp a few mem¬ bers to Mr. Jackson’s office, a variation we quite enjoyed. Kathryn—The second time we appeared before the school was in a scene from “Showbound,” under the direction of Miss Hildreth. In April, that year, our room teacher wished to pive us a real treat from her native state, so she surprised us with a maple supar party held in the Laboratory at recess. That’s all I can remember for the Sophomore year. Now let’s see, what happened last year? Robert—Well, when we entered as Juniors we were plad to welcome as one of our num¬ ber, Lester Davies, a former member of the THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 19 Enfield High School. Our first interest was to exercise the usual privileges allowed the Juniors. Yes, in December, we gave a whist party and were very much pleased with the outcome as we were able to deposit in the bank the munificent sum of $22.00. Kathryn—On Washington’s birthday we gave a successful program. In March one girl from our class had to leave us because of poor health. This made our number twenty-four. Then what did we do ? Robert—Oh! I remember. In April there was the party at your house. Gee! We sure love parties and that was one we all enjoyed. Everyone seemed to “Linger Awhile” and the party broke up quite late, perhaps to be truthful, quite early. Kathryn—Thirteen members took part in the Junior Prize Essay Contest in May. It was a hard task for the judges to decide just who the winners were. Joseph Conroy received first prize, and Josephine Wallace received the second prize. We wish Mr. Conroy and Miss Wallace success as orators in the future. Robert—In September we entered our last year with regret that two of our members had left us. A few weeks later we wel¬ comed Frank Boyle, who came to us from Loomis Institute. This made us twenty- three in all. Kathryn—Oh! yes, it was then that we began to settle down to work. We came out of a trance and showed real signs of life. On the second day of school a salesman from the Peters Company visited the class and exhibited some rings. We had two or three visits from salesmen representing other jewelers, but at last decided upon a ring from the first company and all were satis¬ fied with the selection. Robert—Then one day you lassies of the class tried to go back to your kindergarten days and came to school with hair ribbons and gingham dresses. Some of us boys be¬ gan to get envious and made paper ribbons of our own invention. Kathryn—Well, now for a serious event. Then came our first program as Seniors. On Patriotism Day during “Education Week,” ten of our number took part and were a credit to the class. Later in the year cer¬ tain members participated in the programs given by the English, French, Commercial and Science Departments. Robert—Oh! Then another party. What a good time we had at Mr. and Mrs. Jack- son’s just before Christmas. We exchanged joke presents which were distributed from a real Christmas tree and by a real Santa, alias our advisor, Mr. Jackson. We all en¬ joyed the music from the talented members of the class and faculty. Well, how did we start the New Year? Kathryn—By discussing an appropriate time for our Mid-Winter Dance. Some wanted it to be held January 18th; others preferred February 8th. At last, Miss Baker suggested the 25th and of course that was O. K. What a good time we had that night end what splendid returns. We c’eared over $50.00. the largest amount ever made by any of our predecessors. Robert—The next event in our Senior year was quite a contrast to this. It was the Mid-Year Examination Time. Oh! How we welcomed them. After three days the painful thinking was over and we soon for¬ got our cares at a Valentine Party, given by Nellie Connolly. As usual the Seniors were in their glory. Kathryn—Then came excitement again, the Play. On February 9th, we were assigned parts in the Musical comedy, en¬ titled, “Once In a Blue Moon.” Fifteen of our number developed skill as actors and actresses. We are grateful to the Glee Clubs and Orchestra for assist ' ng us in the production of this play. And to think we are here now discussing our past when only a few weeks ago we were having such a lark. Robert—You just bet it was and nothing would satisfy me better than to be able to meet in 1928 and discuss as happy events as we have to-night. Kathryn Sweeney, ’24. Robert Pickles, ’24. -(o)- ADVICE TO UNDERGRADUATES. Undergraduates of the Windsor Locks High School, Dear Boys and Girls:— After our four years’ association together we have noticed that many of you have at¬ tained a very bad habit, and that is forget¬ fulness. You forget that school starts at 8.30 and when Mr. Jackson tells you to re¬ main one hour for tardiness you “forget” to stay. If you would follow the good example of the Seniors you would not cause Mr. Jack- son so much trouble in writing “passes” and reminding you at 3.00 to stay after school. To you, Juniors, we, the Class of 1924, 20 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD feel that it is our duty to offer you several words of advice on this occasion. Juniors, you will have the “honor” of sit¬ ting in Room 10 next year. The Room 10 seats are wonderful and very comfortable for the talcing of tests. Juniors, our room is at your disposal; he good to it for we shall return some day to visit you as some of our Alumni have visited us or to teach your younger sisters and brothers. Before we go we must give certain mem¬ bers a little “special” advice. August Midden, known to all as “Speed” would make a fine manager for Peter Cerri (alias Bull Smith) and during the coming term could increase his class funds by hav¬ ing wrestling bouts every recess. Arlene Hancock, try my invention on “How to grow tall.” If vou do not row this summer I fear you will be caught by a fifth or sixth grade teacher, instead of be¬ ing taken by the Senior class teacher. I am sure my invention will prove successful in your case. Kenneth Burwood, known to us as the school “chemist” and “poet,” we find you need a pair of colored glasses so that you can look at the school “vamps” without blushing. Natalie Klemas, we have heard it whis¬ pered that you may leave us. Take our ad¬ vice and don’t do it. You are missing the best time of your life, if you “quit” at the end of your Junior year. Just imagine how grand it will he to be a Senior and have all the classes look up to your class and see the “Freshies” in awe of you. Juniors, my last word of advice to you. before my classmate gives the much needed advice to the Sophomores, is to strive, to reach that goal which comes to all high school students after four years of hard study. Lester Davies, ’24. SOPHOMORES. The Sophomores are often called the silli¬ est class in High School, and this name surely applies to the Class of 1926. You laugh at 8’lly remarks, which remind us o f the Kinderf c en days. Why don’t you lis¬ ten to the wisdom of the upper classes? We would advise Sophie Markman to get over her childish talking. Even though Edward Sluzinski is expect¬ ing to become a truck driver, we wish he would stop playing automobile in school, for people surely will think he is nervous. We are sure that Agnes Connolly would get along better if she would stay at home and study her lessons instead of going out to pick flowers for her teachers. We would suggest that Shrimp Compaine and Jeff Micha have a race to see which one will be the taller at the end of the Sen’o- year. The winner will receive a tin medal. Poor Freshies, we have so much advice fo” you that it is hard to commence. First rf all. we advise the little boys to comb their hair and wear long trousers when they be¬ gin their Sophomore year. The girls must leave behind their childish sayings and stop their foolish giggling. Otherwise you will be mistaken for Freshmen next year. Every morning at 8.32 we have seen a streak of “green” rush into the Main Room. Boom! Bang! and Tate the Freshie has arrived in school two minutes late. I should advise you Tate to get a five-day alarm clock so that you can get to school on timr Douglas Barberi, we would suggest that vou find out before next term that Algebra is in the Physics Room and not in the Main Room. John Pohorylo, if you ever expect to be¬ come a Sophomore, you must leave you spit-balls and all other toys behind, and begin to acouire some of the wisdom of the present Senior Class. Crowley, you should get a muffler to shut off that cackling laugh of yours. We wish to congratulate the members of the Glee Clubs and the Debating Team on their splendid work during the past year. We have enjoyed our association with you, undergraduates, and wish you every succes in your studies and we hope that you wi” keep high the standard of the Wind - Locks High School. Margaret Chesnalevich, ’24. -(o)- RESPONSE FROM THE SCHOOL. After listening to your kind words of advice we shall try to return some of it Although we appreciate your thoughtful words we do not wish to be considered sel¬ fish so here are a few suggestions. How we wish we might say to you “You have been the most dignified and hard work- ng class this school has ever known!” But THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 21 alas! You have proved to us how little dignity a Senior Class can show and how- much disturbance you can occasionally make. You have been fond of bluffing, bui, sad to say, your bluffs were usually dis¬ covered. Many of you should improve your manners for they are far from being perfect. Your idea of a class meeting seems to be that the one who yells the loudest gets much attention. In all four years at High School you have not yet learned at what time the last bell rings, for you come straggling in forming a long line to get a pass. You are extremely fond of using slang. We are glad you have had the opportun¬ ity of associating with the Sophomores this year for from them you may have gaineu some idea of how one should act in the classroom. As for the Freshmen, they may be child¬ ish, but remember you were Freshmen not so long ago, and some of you have even be mistaken for Freshmen this year. We wish to congratulate you on your excellent showing at the musical comedy, in rhetoricals, and in athletics. The athletic teams will feel the loss of your valued assistance next year. The singers of your class will be greatly missed by the Glee Clubs. We wish to assure you that in spite of all your faults we shall sincerely miss v. next fall. August Midden, ’25. - (o) - INFORMATION Kathryn Sweeney whom we have always known as “Kay is the fanciest skater in the class. She is sporty in appearance and is often heard singing “Mama Loves Papa, Papa Loves Mama.” Her favorite sweets are Kisses. Robert Jackson, better known as “Jack, 18 P 8868801 a very serious disposition His favorite sweets are “anything that burns, and he has a habit of lifting hia voice to the tune of “Oh, what a pal waa Mary. His favorite saying is “Rap it up.’ Raymond Hancock, who answers to the name of “Handy” has a very agreeable dis- position and shows it in his mode of singing Washee All Day.” His favorite saying is You Make me sick. Agnes Flanagan, who is called “Aggie,” boasts of a very cheerful disposition. Her favorite song is “Toot Your Horn Kid, You’re in a Fog,” and she thinks “Oh Hen- rys are the nicest ever. If anyone re¬ proaches her, she answers “You may be a goo d kidder, but you can’t kid me.” Lester Davies or “Les” as we all know him is the most willing boy in the class. He always greets the girls with his cheerful Hello, Girls.” He thinks Kellogg’s Corn Flakes are the berries. “Linger Awhile” is his favorite song. I rank Boyle, who has been known as Judge since childhood, which wasn t so long ago, sports a very satisfied appear¬ ance. He is very fond of dates, and enjoys singing “If the rest of the world don’t want you. He has a habit of saying, “Got any- tning on for to-night?” Margaret Chesnalevich, most graceful of girls. “Aw Heck” seems to be a habitual saying of hers. She loves pineapples anu the oid song, “Kiss me first and then I’ll tell you,” is her favorite. Byrne, who bears the nick-name of ‘ Cleo, certainly enjoys herself when sne has a box of “Big Bobbies.” Her favorite expression is “I’ll never speak to you again and “Minding my Business” is a fami.u.r song of hers. Believe me, she sings it. Robert Pickles, better known as “Bob,” appears to be James. He has a very ninu disposition and doesn’t believe in the saying that “Time waits for no man.” His favorite song is, “If I can’t get the girl I want, I pity the girl I get,” which seems to be very appropriate for him. “Aw, go on,” is his favorite saying, and he uses it on every occasion possible. It has been noticed that “Bob is very fond of peanuts and the con¬ fectionery stores of the town have all they can do to supply him. Robert is a wonder¬ ful Latin student and hopes to be a Latin professor some day. Mary Titus has been nicknamed “Johnny ” because she is continually talking aboiL Johnny somebody. Her appearance is coun¬ trified, but like most country girls she has a very mischievous disposition. Mary never goes to the city without stopping in a res- cauant where she can get all the Chop Suey she wants. Her favorite song is “When Johnny come marching home,” and her � vorite saying is “Yea.” We all know that Mary s greatest desire is to be a real Maud Muller farmer girl, and not one of those terrible city flappers. James O Leary though always called 22 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD “Jimmie” has the appearance of being a very important young man. He has a jolly disposition and is the height of amusement for most of his classmates. He must have kissed a girl sometime or other by mistake or he wouldn’t be singing “Why did 1 kiss that girl?” all the time. His favorite ex¬ pression is “Can a duck swim?” but we do not know why he asks this question. James likes to eat anything that is sweet. He is the best dancer in our class and expects to be a fancy dancer in the near future. Nellie Connolly, though often called “Nell” for short, just delights in eating musk mellons. She appears to be very se¬ rious, but when you know her she isn’t hail as serious as she looks. We often hear Ne� - lie say “I wonder why,” when something out of the ordinary occurrs. When Nellie is in a musical mood we have noticed that she always sings a song entitled, “The lanu where the green shamrock grows.” She has a very generous disposition which we all appreciate. Having had some experience as an assistant bookkeeper last summer she wishes to continue the work when she leaves school. Mary Chesnalevich, who was nicknamed “Patsy,” is the most dignified girl in the ciass although “hot dogs” are her favorite eats. Mary has a very curious disposit .011 and is always wondering how things aie . ing to be a year from now. When it seems as though the sun would never shine we ' hear Mary singing “Oh! it ain’t going to rain no more.” When the bell for dismissal rings at three-six,. Mary is always calling “Come on girls, let’s beat it.” She has always enjoyed stenography and expects to make that her vocation in the future. George Lashway, called by some “Uncle Thithy,” would rather eat pencils than any¬ thing else. His appearance is sw’aggerish and his disposition is of “the easy-going-I- should-worry-type.” When something has gone just the opposite from his wishes we hear George saying, “Oh, Gosh.” Whenever he see’s a girl coming his way he always sings “I love you,” his favorite song. His greatest desire is to become a traveling salesman for a Chewing Gum Factory. Ethel Goldfarb has been given the name “Suzanne” which seems to be just the name for her. There is nothing that appeals to her more strongly than a big dish of ice cream, no matter what time or what kind. Because of her petite appearance she ha a very charming disposition toward the boys. It is no unusual thing to hear Ethel singing “Go home, little boy, go home,” fo it is her favorite song. When things are going wrong with Ethel we always hear her say “Oh Shucks.” Her greatest ambition 1 to be tall and slender. “Calamity Jane” is Mildred’s most com¬ mon nickname. You remember we christen¬ ed her that when the rehearsals for our play started. She went in for “sob stuff.” Her disposition is obstinate and her ap- parance is lonesome. Milly is very fond of saying, “Oh Dear!” to which one of the boys would usually ask, “W’hich one does she mean?” She has developed a taste lately for “Chicky” bars. Her highest ambition is to be a “Tango” dancer, and her favorite song is—“It’s a Man Every Time, It’s a Man.” “Joe” has a good many nicknames. We used to call her “Pete” or “Pinky” usually. “Pete” is a happy-go-lucky sort of a girl in school and she appears to be very mis¬ chievous, and appearances are not deceiving in her case. “Joe” is often heard saying “No Kiddin’ ” and she supplied the class with her favorite “eats,” fudge. “Pete’s highest ambition is to be a Prima Don., and her favorite song is “Whose Izzy is he?” “Gert” is more often called “Googou than anything else. “Googoo” never indulges in language any stronger than “By Ginger. ' Her appearance is “Lean and Lanky a.i u her favorite food is bananas. Nothing w., please “Googoo” better than to be Private Secretary to the Shipping Clerks in tn Bigelow-Hartford. Her favorite song is “Louis-ville-Lou.” Mary is called “Mike” but she might well have been known as “Mary, Quite Con¬ trary.” No matter what you say to Mary she will say “Hot Tama lie.” I haven’t the slightest idea what her favorite food is but I think it must be string beans. Mary is tali and stately and her highest aspiration is to be a model. “Jimmy” Pickles is sometimes called “Tubby.” He is what may be called a “jolly good fellow.” You may ask “Tubby” any question but you’ll always get the same answer unless you are more fortunate thu.. we. “You got me.” We decided that James’ appearance is like Robert’s. James ' highest ambition at present is to be a res¬ ident of Holyoke—well—it would be con¬ venient James. James is always singing, “It ain’t going to rain no more.” As long as I can remember “Stew” is all that he has ever been called—but perhaps my memory is weak. In spite of all of his THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 23 good traits “Stew” is inclined to be “crabby.” Classes and study periods are often interrupted long enough for “Stew” to indulge in his favorite expression, “Pull down the curtain, there’ll be no show to¬ night.” “Stew’s” favorite food is gum, and we decided that his appearance is not to be described by our poor words. “Stew” wants a girl, preferably a little French maid. h. favorite song is “Nobody Knows and No¬ body Seems to Care.” Clara, or “Clarissa,” as she is known— for short—is a good natured girl of veiy fair appearance. Her favorite food is apples—the source of her rosy cheeks, i guess. Clara is easily satisfied in life anu all she wants is a few more strings ot beads. “Joe” Conroy is often called “Cupid ’ because of the peculiar style of his han dress. “Joe” is rather dreamy looking but he has such a bright disposition that his mother calls him “Sonny.” His favorite expression is “Let’s go over the river boys and his favorite occupation is taking u walk down some shady “Knowle.” His fa¬ vorite song is “Gee! How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning.” Janies O’Leary, ’24. Clara Blodgett, ’24. Agnes Flanagan, ’24. - (O) - CLASS WILL. Know all men by these presents, that I the Spirit of the Class of 1924, of tht Windsor Locks High School, Town ol Windsor Locks, County of Hartford, Statt ot Connecticut, United States of America being of sound and disposing mind, dc make, declare and publish this, my last will and testament and all former instruments made by me are hereby revoked. As by the Grace of God, I like others who a?lnft£? n f- before have been allowed my allotted time and full enjoyment thereof and as my principles have been above re¬ proach, and being absolutely and undoubt¬ edly sane, as the combined medical force of W mdsor Locks can testify, I feel the keen necessity of placing some conditions upon the requests about to be made. H 1 give, devise, and bequeath to the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-five the honor of occupying the seats left vacant by our class, and hope that you will hold them as did the present Senior Class. If by any chance any members of your class find any lost, strayed or stolen books they should be returned to our president, Joseph Conroy, for he has often had to go to classes with¬ out his books, and usually claimed that someone had taken them without his per¬ mission. I give, devise and bequeath to the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-six a florist’s shop. Hereafter when you wish to bring the teacher a bunch of flowers you won’t have to go out after school looking for them. I give, devise and bequeath to the Class of Ninteen Hundred and Twenty-seven a bottle of “Sanford’s Glue” to keep you fixed in one place and to keep you from roaming around the building at your leisure. To the various members of undergradu¬ ates, we, as Seniors, do bequeath the follow¬ ing articles and items of inestimable value, to our heirs and assignees, to have and to hold forever. Josephine Wallace bequeaths to Marie Midden a small table and a dictionary. Marie, Joe hopes that hereafter when you are sent to look up a word in the dictionary you will not have to climb on the table and sit there, thus making the other members of your class laugh at you. Always keep this book near you. Raymond Hancock leaves to Joseph Lo- dola his great knowledge of golf, also his favorite “mashie.” These, Joe, he hopes you will make good use of and make the eighteen holes in less than one hundred and ninetten strokes. Kathryn Sweeney leaves to Helene Leary her ambition to get to school on time. You have been seen making Chestnut street hill on high many mornings. Upon arriving in the dressing room, while still rubbing your eyes, you have been heard to say, “Gee! I hated to get up this morning.” Helene, make use of this ambition as you know that Kathryn was always on time and would not like to have her reputation lessened in that respect. Frank Boyle leaves to Edna Mocklis his knowledge as a walking dictionary. Now Edna, with your intelligence he thinks you will be able to master every word which is brought before you, as he has in the past year. Margaret Chesnalevich leaves to Francis Draghi two bottles of ink and two pens for his own personal use. She hopes Francis that in the future you will not be running around looking for your. 24 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD Robert Pickles wills to Natalie Klemas a book on “How to curl hair.” Now Nat, with Robert as a teacher, surely you may be able to master the “Three Mile Limit,” easily. Look at his waves, aren’t they limited ? Mildred Orvis leaves to Sophie Markman a Dream Book. Every morning she says, “Oh! I just dreamt and dreamt all night.” Sophie if you ever dream of a fellow’, and you become so excited over his looks, just refer to the dream Book and there I hope it says—“You will meet your fate within a month.” George Lashway leaves to Edward Micha his old pencils. Now, Jeff, you may find these pencils pretty well chewed up, but there is still a little lead in them. Mary Byrne leaves to John Pohorylo a ten-cent diamond ring. This she leaves to you, John, so that you may have something to hold your attention during the study periods. The only thing is, you will have to be careful not to get it wet because it might turn green. Robert Jackson leaves to William Crowley a stick of gum and a large pillow in re¬ membrance of your chief occupations dur¬ ing school hours. Desks are too hard to put your little head on when you want to take a snooze. Agnes Flanagan leaves to Florence Mig- liora a large box of pow’der and a puff. Keep this in your pocket and don’t be run¬ ning around asking the girls to lend you some powder to put on your shining nose. James Pickles wills to Louis Oliva the privilege to w ' alk about the Main Room at any time hs wishes to. Thus the teacher in charge of the study hall may know where you are at all times. Nellie Connolly bequeaths to Everett Tate a pair of rubber heels to be worn when com¬ ing or going through the halls. Remem¬ ber, Tate, to wear them especially when you are late and don’t disturb the whole assem¬ bly as you have formerly done. Clara Blodgett leaves to Anna Rooney some Barberi shrubs to beautify her home. Clara hopes that when you are lonesome you can look upon them and perhaps they will bring back fond recollections. James O’Leary leaves to Henry O’Leary a piece of twine to be tied around his finger. Henry, this is to remind you that school starts at 8.30 and not 8.32. Gertrude Cone leaves to Francis Orvis her free passage on the Windsor Locks bus to Springfield—that is if she can vamp the driver as Gertie did (?) Ethel Goldfarb leaves to Sidney Horton a code so he may converse with Josephine without being caught by his teachers. Joseph Conroy bequeaths to Edo Donati his store of “Barn Yard Calls.” When you learn his many cat, dog, and rooster yells you may easily attract attention. Joe did, why can’t you ? He would hate to have his talent go to waste entirely. Mary Chesnalevich leaves to Mary Poloski a two-pound box of rice. Mary hopes that when you have been disappointed in seeing Johnny Rice you will gaze upon this other variety. Mary Caffrey leaves a book on “Law and Order” to Eddie Sluniski. With this book, Eddie, if you study it carefully you will please Mary very much, for she hates to have her Dad offended in any way. I do nominate and appoint Mr. J. D. Out- erson to be executor of this, my last will and testament. In testimony whereof I have set my hand and seal and publish and decree this my last will and testament in the presence of the witnesses named below, this eighteenth day of June in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-four. Spirit of the Class of 1924. Signed, sealed, declared and published by the said Spirit of the Class of 1924, as for his last will and testament, in the presence of each other, have subscribed our names as witnesses hereto: Hilda Rego, Henry O’Leary, Sylvia Burbank, Marcus Lawson, Mary Kane. Charles Kennedy, ’24. -(o)- GRADUATION GIFTS. Time—Graduation. Place—Gift Counter. Characters—Ethel Goldfarb, Mary Ches¬ nalevich, Mary Titus. Enter Mary C. and Mary T.

Mary T.—I want to buy some gifts, too. Ethel—Oh! I’ve got mine already but I will try to help you select yours. Mary C.—What are you going to give Kathryn Sweeney? THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 25 Ethel—I’m going to give her a Buick filled with candy, with enough room for two. Kathryn is always perfectly happy if she is riding in a car with Joe beside her and a bag of candy between them. I know that she will be pleased with it. Mary T.—Have you got a memorandum book ? Ethel—Yes, here is one. Mary T.—This book is for “Jimmie.” I hope it will enable him to keep a proper record of his dates. I realize what a hard task it is for him to remember the time and place and sometimes her appearance. This book may be used as a reference. MaryC.—I know what I’ll get for Clara. Only yesterday she bought the material for a new gray dress and said she wished she had a string of beads to match. Ethel—Do you know what I’m going to give Joe Conroy? Mary T.—No, what is it? Ethel—A little dress and a ribbon so he can join the girls whenever they have pig¬ tail day. Mary T.—Have you got any paint, Ethel? Ethel—Yes, what kind? Mary T.—The kind Gert Cone uses in painting pictures. Of course I know she must have a lot of paint but she can always use more. Ethel—Here is some. Mary C.—Have you a little car ? Be sure that it is a “Henry.” Because Aggie likes Henries. . Ethel hands it to her. Ethel—Robert Jackson’s graduation gift is a comb, because he has a lock of hair which tends to stick up at all times. Girls—That’s all right. He needs one. Mary T.—Let me see a French doll. Ethel—Who is that for ? Mary T.—It’s for Stew. Do you remem¬ ber the play, “Once in a Blue Moon,” which we gave? Ethel—Yes. Mary T.—Well don’t you know that the French maid stole his heart? Well this doll will always remind him of her. Mary C.—Is that a golf stick over there? Let me see it. Ethel—Who is that for? Mary C.—Mary CafFrey is fond of wearing golf stockings. Maybe she will learn to play golf if we give her these. Ethel—This is nerve tonic here. Mary T.—For whom ? Ethel—It’s for Mildred Orvis. Do you re¬ member in the play, she said, “Oh, my nerves, my poor nerves.” If I give her this nerve tonic she will enjoy ill health no longer. All girls laugh). Mary T.—I want a Buster Brown collar for Joe Wallace. She wears everything in Buster Brown style except the collar. Ethel takes out of the box and hands it to her). Mary C.—I want a directory for George Lashway, so that when he goes over to the Point he will know how to come back again. Ethel—Here is one. Ethel—I’ve got a red wig for Jimmie Pickles. Mary T.—What for? Ethel—He looks so much like his brother that some people cant tell them apart. When they see his red wig they will know him right off. Mary T.—Show me some “first-class dumb-bells.” Ethel—Dumb-bells? What for, and what kind ? Mary T.—For Raymond Hancock. He’s very smart but he’s rather weak. We want something to build him up. Mary C.—I want some good complexion soap for Robert Pickles. What kind do you think is the best? Ethel—I think Woodbury’s facial soap is the best. Mary C.—Oh, yes, he’s always coming in contact with Woodbury. Mary T.—Show me a curling iron. Ethel—For whom ? Mary T.—Nellie Connolly, you know she is fond of hair dressing. Mary C.—Give me some breakfast food. Ethel—What kind ? Mary C.—The best. Ethel—The best I’ve got is Kellogg’s. Mary C.—All right, give me that for Lester Davies. Ethel—Say, what shall I give Frank Boyle? Mary T.—1 don’t know, you can give him most any thing. Ethel—That’s right, I’ll prepare him a package that will contain what he needs most. 26 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD Mary C.— What? Ethel—Oh, tooth picks, matches, pencils, flowers, erasers, compasses, and — Mary T.—That’s enough, he’ll have a store, if you give him too much. Ethel—Do you remember how Mildred Orvis and Mary Byrne had a “Free for all” over the mirror in the dressing room ? Mary C.—Yes, we ought to remember that all right. It’s a wonder the mirror didn’t break with all the looks it received. Ethel—I think May ought to have one of her own so I’m going to give her this one. I’m going to put a long string on it to wear around her neck, so she will always have it with her. Mary T.—Well, I want something else for Mary Chesnalevich. Ethel—You have bought me out and I haven’t anything more to sell. Mary T.—I know what I’ll give her. A quarter, she’s always paying somebody a compliment. Mary C.—Yes, and you need a cook-book to learn to make Johnnie cake. Mary T.—That’s fine, but I hope your cook-book has more than one recipe. Ethel—Do % you know what yours is, Mary ? Mary C.—No, what is it? Ethel—It’s a medal, you were the last one to bob your hair and I think you deserve credit for it. Mary T.—That’s great so far—but you are —no—you’re small but you have grown-up ideas. I guess I’ll give you a diary in which to keep a record of you class notes. Ethel—That’s all right. Charles Kennedy_French Maid Doll “Stew” you’re always in and out of luck. A French Maid once gave you some pluck, But, in one night she came and went Take this one, she’ll be permanent.

For with this aim, we strive through life, “To be, rather than to seem.” And in this world of storm and strife, To work and not to dream. Sometimes we may fall by the way, Or by chance our feet may slip. But we shall rise and struggle on, With a true and firmer grip. Each step brings us nearer our goal, Each fall is only a test. Tho’ time and tide shall by us roll, Till the top we’ve reac hed, we ne’er rest. For success is the only victory, Of perseverance and will. And the rays of its shining light, Are only seen from the hill. And let us ever remember, As we our talents ply The spirit that prompts us onward, Is that of Windsor Locks High. But although we may find trouble. And fail in the world’s esteem. We shall remember our motto, “To be, rather than to seem.” George Lashway, ’24. 28 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD GRADUATION EXERCISES. SALUTATORY AND ESSAY. Members of th e Board of Education, Teachers, Undergraduates, Parents and Friends:— This evening we must turn our thoughts to a more serious occasion in our High School Life—our Graduation. We are standing at the beginning of a new era in our lives in which many of us enter higher institutions of learning or take our places in the business world. We, the Class of 1924, welcome you and hope that you will enjoy the closing exer¬ cises of our High School Career. The Japanese Problem. The kind of Americans that will inhabit this country in the future depends largely upon the character of the immigrants we aunnt to-day. The hrst interest of every American is to keep his country a decent place to live in. One of the problems be- iore this country to-day is that of restricted immigration with respect especially to the Japanese, We may, on the whole, admire the intelli¬ gence of the Japanese, but we must admit in the end, that all eltorts to combine two different races, in the history of the world, has showed unfavorable results. It cannot be done satisfactorily. The Americans cannot compete with the Japanese. The latter works long hours, he has his wife and children work for him. He eats rice and sleeps but lilttle. He saves his mcney because he doesn’t spend much. And with his savings he buys land in Cali¬ fornia, known as the Japanese Farming Community, and lives there, but he keeps on saving. That’s more than some of us can do. We cannot live as the Japanese do. We would die in a short time, because we would not have the proper kind of food, or because our strength would be overtaxed. For these reasons and others a new Im¬ migration Bill was passed by Congress and was signed by President Coolidge the 26th of last montn. This bill contains a pro¬ vision for the exclusion of the Japanese, effective on the first day of July of this year. The six provisions pertaining to exclusion are:— First—No Japanese resident will be allow¬ ed to bring his family here. Second—Japanese who seek to enter the United States because they wish to study the ministry, will be allowed to come in. Third—The Oriental student is admissible to America if he is over fifteen years of age and “seeks to enter” the United States for tne purpose of studying at a college, seminary, or university designated by him and approved by the secretary of Labor. Fourth—The new Immigration measure is nostile to international understanding. Fifth—The Japanese, who have been liv¬ ing in this country, may return here from a temporary visit to Japan, provided the visit does not exceed one year. Sixth—Japanese officials, tourists and merchants who come to America for a tem¬ porary visit will be admitted. The Japanese do not wish to settle per¬ manently in the countries where they go to earn a livelihood. “If they wish to settle in a foreign land, they should learn to love it as deany as their original home.” The Japanese have been coming in so rapidly that they would soon be dictating to us, and would put many American farm¬ ers and merchants out of business. Last year the California Birth Rate Statistics showed that the Japanese birth rate was 69.4 while the white rate was only 18.1. 1 he Japanese would soon be outnumbering us, if methods were not taken to restrict their entrance to this country. Someone has said “America must not be thrown open as the home for the opprest of all nations, good and bad alike.” We must keep America a decent place to live in ' and the time to act is now! Mildred Orvis, ’24. THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 29 CLEAN GOVERNMENT. For two years the old, hardened news edi¬ tor of the most sensational newspaper has received sufficient scandal copy to satisfy his most covetous desires. A crisis, unpre¬ cedented but once or twice in the annals of our history, during which the very founda¬ tion of the government were shaken, has been met and let us hope successfully passed. Now we nave reached a point at which we can, with some degree of accuracy, study the causes and circumstances of such a situation and pledge our strength and influence toward making its recurrence impossible. In such a consideration the first question that enters our minds is what effect will be produced upon the average citizen when he learns that his leaders, the men highest ip the councils of his government have not kept their faith. First let us consider the causes attendant upon such a situation. A prolonged period of prosperity tends to breed indifference and to corrupt moral soundness. During the World Wxr men and women forgot their political differences, their dissatisfactions and their stations in life and served with but one purpose in mind—to win the war. Fortunes were made over night; unskilled labor received wages at par with those of skilled and professional men: vast amounts of monev were appro¬ priated with but little regard for their ex¬ penditures and many men whose character and ability were ouestionable obtained po¬ sitions of responsibility in the government. In such an unstable period the drifting awav from the highest ideals of American poli¬ tics is the natural result. About two years ago the two Houses of Congress began « systematic investigation of the executive branch of the government. While the larger number of these investi¬ gations were started in perfectly good faith, nevertheless a good per cent, were merely for political purposes. But we cannot get awav from the fact that in this short space one cabinet officer has been exposed as un¬ worthy to maintain h s country’s honor, two others have been forced to resign because of their connection with this traitor, one Senator has been impeached because of cor¬ ruption in his election campaign and three Congressmen have been arrested on crim¬ inal charges. It may be interesting to note that one of these was the representative of a Kentucky mountain district where hon¬ or is prized more highly than life. Yet this man was accused and tried on the charge of attempting to bribe the prohibition en¬ forcement officer of his state, was found guiltv and sentenced to serve two years in the Federal penitentiary at Atlanta. There are in this country at the present time a large group of people with radicalis- tic communistic ideas biding their time but patiently waiting for an opportunity to make a show of their strength. This fact should inspire every red-blooded American cit ' zen with due consideration of the effects of Bolshevism in Russia, of Communism in Germany, to pledge his whole-hearted sun- port toward the removal of whatever evils may appear in our present form of gov¬ ernment. No truer statement has ever been made than that of Thomas Jefferson when he said that “the whole are of government is the art of being honest.” Our greatest need to-day is for public officials of incor¬ ruptible integrity, unwavering lovaltv and enduring faithfulness to dutv, ready and willing to follow the ideals of such men as W ashington, Lincoln and Roosevelt. Robert Jackson, ’24. (o) AMERICA’S GREATEST HISTORICAL COLLECTION. America’s greatest historical collection may be seen on disnlay at the Smithsonian Institution at Washington. This Institu¬ tion was started in a strange wav. James Smithson, the son of an English Duke, was born n France. He died in Italy in 1829, and willed his fortune, amounting to over half a million dollars, to the United States government to be used in the “in¬ crease and diffusion of knowledge among men.” Thus the Smithsonian Institut ; on was founded, and its first aenuisition was one of Smithson’s own collections, for he was a mineralogist. These collections have been ncreased by gifts, hv purchases, and by expeditions to out-of-the-way places, unt’l the National Museum, in which they are stored, has be¬ come a veritable treasure house. The collections that may be seen there are of various kinds, such as botanical exhibits, mineralogical exhibits, and relics of war. Many articles which remind us of the life and ' career of George Washington may be seen. His christening robe, which was used 30 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD in 1732, is there, together with his faded uniform which he wore as Commander-in- Chief of the American Army. There is a noteworthy collection of arti¬ cles used in the Civil War. The uniform of General Sherman, and the war saddle and riding boots of General Grant, and the very table on which Grant prepared and wrote out his famous terms of peace with General Lee, are found in this collection. Probably one of the most interesting ob¬ jects to be seen is ‘‘Winchester. ’ the famous horse that carried Sheridan from Winches¬ ter to Cedar Creek, Virginia, in time to reorganize the retreating and panic-stricken Union Army, and turn defeat into victory- There is an interesting story connected with this famous steed. At the death of this well-known charger, his hide was removed and mounted in a life-like pose and placed in the Military Museum at Governor’s Island, New York, where it was soon for¬ gotten. However, in 1923, it was rescued from obllivion and placed in this Institution, where it has a prominent place among the interesting exhibits. The most interesting relic of the Spanish American War is the collection of objects from the battleshin “Maine,” sunk in Ha¬ vana harbor on February 15, 1898. This collection includes the ship’s steering wheel and compass, as well as coins, shells and revolvers which were secured at the time that this famous ship was raised. There is also a department given to scientific collections, which shows, (by models and machinery) the progress of science and invention in the United States. There is the Edison Dynamo which provided the current for the first use of electric lighting. There may be seen also the first heavier-than-air machine to fly by its own power. This machine was planned and built by Samuel P. Lansrly, Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, and took its first flight on May 6, 1896. In the last twelve months more than 40.000 specimens have been added to the collection, making a total of over 300,000. The majority of these recent acquisitions are relics of the World War. There may be seen the map used by General Pershing and his staff at the American headquarters at Ghaumont, Frame, during our war with Germany. This map shows the location of the allied and enemy forces as they stood on November 11, the day the Armistice was signed. There is a great collection of death-dealing weapons used in modern warfare. Exact models of submarines, full-sized torpedoes, and even the engine of a captured German submarine, together with battle-scarred airplanes; all these tell their silent story. Outside of one of the Museum buildings, excluded from the main exhibits. becuase of its size and weight, is the six-inch gun from which was fired the first American shot in the World War. Such are a few of the exhibits that make the Smithsonian Institution the depository of America’s greatest historical collection. Its value to the nation can hardly be over¬ estimated. If all the former owners of the objects displayed in the museum could come back to life and take their places beside what were once their possessions, most of the famous men and women who have made our nation great—statesmen, generals, scholars, inventors and explorers—would all be assembled there. Raymond Hancock, ’24. -(o)- CLASS MOTTO. “To Be, Rather Than to Seem.” We. the Class of 1924. have seleoted the fol’owing motto—“To be, rather than to seem.” What a fine adage to have in our thoughts as we leave the W. L. H. S. There is an underlying principle in this v otto which we should all trv to follow. If we are always natural and do not try to pretend as w’e go through this wo rld, we will come out victorious in the end, though nerhans there may be trials and troubles to endure on our way. Many people who are genuine and sincere, but unnoticed in the world, envv a popular person, who may heve secured favor and position by appear¬ ing what he is not. How much better it is to be trusted, however, than to win glory through deception. Someone has said “To be trusted is greater than to be loved.” A person is usually judged by what he does and says. What a difficult position one is ip when his true character is discov¬ ered if he has been shamming his way from one th’ng to another. For a time he may ; noarently succeed in his efforts to deceive the public but when he is suddenly put to a te t he fails miserably. The boy or girl who cheats in school is the chief loser. The man or woman who thinks he will “get by” at the expense of someone else will never succeed. Recent disclosures of dishonest THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 31 in the political system of our government prove that this is true. Prominent men have seemed to be what they are not and have deceived the people. Classmates, upon leaving the W. L. H. S. let us take this ideal with us to be honest and sincere. On all occasions we must never appear what we are not. Good char¬ acter is the best asset we have. For in¬ stance, we may have a fairly good position, but hope that some day we may attain a better one. To deserve the next higher po¬ sition one must strive to fill his present one as acceptably as possible, and it is only possible through earnest faithful service. There will be no room for slackers. We must work as faithfully when our employer is out as when he is in the office. More credit is given to the one who always does things right whether his employer is watch¬ ing or not. “In the elder days of Art, Builders wrought with greatest care Each minute and unseen nart; For the Gods see everywhere Let us do our work as well Both the unseen and the seen.” In other words, let us apply the Golden Rule—“To do unto others, as we would have them do to us.” We should try to imagine how we would feel if someone were deceiv¬ ing us and as we desire honestv from others we should be true to them “To thine own self be true. And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man.” Thus, under all circumstances, let us re¬ member our class motto and live its mean¬ ing “To be, rather than to seem.” Mary Caffrey, ’24. -(o)- THE VALUE OF THE ACADEMIC COURSE. Someone has said, “I can dig a better ditch, because I have studied Greek.” To many people, especially to those who have not taken up the Academ e Course in High School and not appreciate its merits, this statement may seem an exaggeration. But let us consider how the Academic Course may be an agency toward the attain¬ ment of success and happiness in any chosen field of activity. It gives one a broad foundation of general culture and informa¬ tion upon which to base further training and improvement. It affords an indefinable quality which is necessary to forcefulness of personality and efficiency. The Academic Course, in its broad sense, deals with the study of ancient and modern languages, science, mathematics, history, and econom¬ ics,, including, under these general heads, special branches, both practical and cultural. From experience we know that “Knowl¬ edge is Power.” How often we have admired the person who possesses a remarkable store of information, plus an all-round nature. We deplore our lack of information, we sigh at “What might have been” had we been blessed with his advantages. But if we stop to consider what time and effort we.l-informed people spend in acquiring their knowledge, we shall find that the sub- ierts offered in the Academic Course will help to give a thorough and broad education. The study of modern languages such as French, German, Italian and S panish, gives us a certain sympathy for the ideals and principles of other nations which enables us to gain a better understanding of human nature. At the same time, this study has a practical everyday use in our nation, com¬ posed of so manv races and classes of people. Classical languages, such as Latin and Greek, afford remarkable memory train¬ ing, increase one’s vocabulary, and give a mental discipline which is carried over into other studies. From the study of classical literature, one gains an appreciation of the noblest expressions of the ancient mind The Classical writers have been models for the writers of all ages, who since their time reflect the influence of the ideals and stvle of these great thinkers. Familiarity with these classics also intensifies our interest in all ’ntellectual and artistic work. The value of the study of mathematics cannot be depreciated. The vast accumu¬ lation of the efforts of the great mathe¬ maticians of the past centuries is at our dis¬ posal. No matter what a man’s work, mathematics has some part in it. In the Academic Course, we pursue this subject to various degrees and no one can say it is a waste of time to do so, for it promotes logical reasoning, and develops the thinking powers through its use in the applied sciences. The study of Science in general, makes the phenomena of life more interesting. It 32 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD teaches us to be more observant of the little things about us and it makes possible a keener understanding of the elements of nature. These, in addition to the beauty of nature, are unrivalled by any human art. Furthermore, through the efforts of scien¬ tists and physicists, who devote their lives to the good of humanity, we may trace the progress of civilization. We are indebted to the development and application of Science, for our labor-saving devices, and conveniences of every day life. Science has given us our telephones and telegraphs, wireless and rados, phonographs and auto¬ mobiles, in fact, machinery of all descrip- and Science has made possible the preven¬ tion of disease and the preservation of life. History, which is the study of the deeds of our ancestors of the remote past, and the study of events of recent years, is often somewhat hazy in the minds of many staunch supporters of our Constitution. We must know history to understand true patriotism and true progress. This wonder¬ ful liberty of ours, bought at such a price by the blood of our forefathers can not be adequately understood nor preserved unless we know its origin. Through a study of Economics we learn the general principles of saving and admin¬ istration of resources of various kinds. The subjects offered in the Academic Course thus help us to appreciate the con¬ tributions of the nations and of the past ages to the progress of civilization. The su¬ preme ideal of unselfish service to humanity is set before us. What could there be more worth while? Satisfaction and happiness may be derived from such a course which can not be taken away. Adequate re¬ sources are developed within ourselves so that we may make good use of our leisure time which is often the most dangerous time in our lives. An interest in the world’s greatest stores of culture and learning and a desire for better living conditions are aroused within us. We are then better able to find our places in the community and to become useful citizens. Members of the Faculty and Board of Education:— By your support and interest, we have been enabled to obtain our High School ed¬ ucation. We sincerely thank you, and assure you that we shall always appreciate your help. Parents and Friends:— To you, we owe a great debt of gratitude for giving us the means, in time, money, and encouragement whereby we could obtain our High School education. U ndergraduates:— We are glad to have passed some of the happiest days of our lives with you. and we are also grateful to you for your loyal sup¬ port in everything we have undertaken. Classmates:— We are now at the goal for which we have labored for four years, happy years, but all too short. We may never meet together again as a class, but let us always be loyal to each other and to the ideals which we have had before us while in the Windsor Locks High School. Let us remember that “True worth is in being, not seeming.” Dear Alma Mater and friends of our school, we bid you our last farewell. Mary Byrne, ’24. THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 33 JUNIOR PRIZE ESSAYS. FARMS ARE THE BACKBONE OF THE COUNTRY. (First Prize) The farm problem is not merely a problem of the agricultural sections of our country, but it is a national problem. Our nation can never become prosperous without the healthy and productive farms. They feed and strengthen the nation and may truth¬ fully be called the backbone of the country. The farmer has always been of vital im¬ portance in our lives, yet we do not realize how hard he works or what hardships he must endure in order to supply us with food. Perhaps some of us do know of his strug¬ gles—but do we care? We may say that we know the farmer has to work from sunrise to sunset to manage his farm—but is not that his business? Yes—it is his business, but in part it is our business, too. We should be willing to help, to encourage the farmer and take an interest in the affairs and the problems which he must face. “Well, the farmer has nothing to fuss about, he receives his share,” some of us may say. But are we sure of this? Let us stop to think. During the World War farming was en¬ couraged as never before. The prices of farm crops went up as well as prices on manufactured articles, and the farmers did make a little profit. But what happened after the war? The prices of farm products dropped way down. The farmer had to buy —labor, fertilizers, implements, groceries, and clothing, and all these went up more than farm crops did. Then, too, the farmers raised nearly as big crops as they did during the war, hoping that prices would rise—but they were doomed to dissapointment. Prices went down, and in order to get along the farmers were forced to stop buying and save what e money they had to pay their taxes. Another difficulty which the farmers had to meet was the loss of much of their help during the war; and at its close they found it difficult to secure labor at a reasonable wage. The boys who returned from the war became restless and found farm life too dull after the excitement and dangers of the war. The city, with its many opportun¬ ities and attractions and higher wages lured a large number of boys from the farms. Thus, higher wages paid in other industries kept many from work on the farms for lower wages and longer hours. Now in the west, because of a poor wheat crop, many farmers are discouraged and losing financially. Banks have failed be¬ cause their loans to farmers have not been made good. Unless the farmers are assist¬ ed in the middle west the prosperity of the nat : on wil! suffer. President Coolidge in his Lincoln day address urged that relief be extended through a strong financial cor¬ poration to assist the northwestern banks in their loans to the farmers. In New England, and in other sections as well, the farmer, the producer, is far from being in a state of equality with other in¬ dustrial and productive groups. Senator Capper of Kansas said recently that it is the range between the farmers’ low priced products and the high-priced things they buv that is putting so many out of business. “Everything he buys is up, everything he sells is down. Taxes are high. The farmer must receive more or pay less.” How may a fair adjustment of prices be made in the interest of the farmer? The manufacturers can help solve the farmers’ problem by meeting the farmers half-way. The manufacturers cannot prosper when the farmers cannot buy and the farmers cannot succeed unless the manufacturers have money to buy their products. It would help both industries if the manufacturers and farmers would get together to regulate prices and the distribution of their products. Furthermore, the farmers should study their problems together and form co-opera¬ tive marketing associations. They have the support of the United States in all united effort. President Cool¬ idge has said that “the resources of the country ought to come to the support of agriculture.” Let us realize that the maintenance of the nation s life is dependent upon the farms 34 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD and let us be willling and eager to promote the best interests of the farmer. Arlene Hancock, ’25. -(o)- “EDUCATION AND LAW ENFORCEMENT. (Second Prize) In the Colonial days schools were estab¬ lished primarialy to train ministers and ser¬ vants of the state Education was consid¬ ered beyond the giasp of a common person. Now we have a public school system open to all classes of people by which one may acouire a suitable education. The one who makes use of this opportunity and becomes trained has a an asset which is the greatest he can ever possess. In order to under¬ stand the laws and political changes in our government a person must have such an asset. Indeed no country in the world offers such great returns for the taxes which are im¬ posed upon the people as does the United States of America. We have, in our power, unlimited means for the purpose of educat¬ ing ourselves to a higher position in life. Good citizens take advantaee of this bo. cause they know that they will learn to serve their country in a more efficient man¬ ner. Patriotism and good schools are in¬ separable in this country. Many people misinterpret the laws be¬ cause of the lack of sufficient education. Democracy lays heavy responsibilities upon a person. It gives him much and expects much from him in return. We, the people of this great and noble country have liberty, but our liberty is under law. We can exercise freedom and still be within the law. It is very difficult for the uneducated person to see this, for he. as wel as many foreigners, has a vague idea of liberty and freedom. Here is another occasion where knowledge is lacking. Popu¬ lar education is therefore a necessity in a democracy. Does a foreigner who has become natural¬ ized know and understand his duties as an American citizen? Does he know that obedi¬ ence to the laws of the country must be en¬ forced? If not, how is he to know? The only answer is by acquiring a knowledge of our language and government. Already night schools have been established in many places in order to teach the foreigner the rights and duties of citizenship. When they go deeper and deeper into their studies of theEnglish language and the government of this country they begin to understand their duties to their country. Our republican system of government breaks down whenever there is a lack of sound education on the part of the people for whom and by whom it is carried on. The government would surely fail in its princi¬ ples, historical development and its morals if freedom were not exercised within the law. Abraham Lincoln, that great, noble-heart¬ ed American said, “Let every American, every lover of liberty, every well wisher to his posterity swear by the blood of the revolution never to violate in the least par¬ ticular the laws of the country, and never to tolerate their violation by others. As did the patriots of ’76 to the support of the Declaration of Independence, so to the sup¬ port of the constitution and the law let every American pledge his life, his prop¬ erty, and his sacred honor; let every man remember that to violate the l w is to trample upon the blood of his fathers and to tear the charter of his own and his chil¬ dren’s liberty.” Let us heed the words of this great man and seek to educate our boys and girls to the highest respect for the laws of this nation and to the responsibility of enforcing them. Inasmuch as an understanding of the laws is necessary to good government, schools and the means of education should be for¬ ever encouraged. Francis Draghi, ’25. THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 35 CLASS NOTES. SENIOR CLASS NOTES. FRESHMAN NOTES. The play by the Senior Class, with the aid of the Glee Clubs, was a big success. The proceeds were large and so were the expenses, but we are sure that the towns¬ people and visitors enjoyed it. It took us a week to get back to work but thoughts of the strenuous days in June made us realize that we had a lot of work to do. We had several class meetings relating to graduation and it took us several days to decide on any motto, but we finally agreed on “To be, rather than to seem.” We se¬ lected blue and silver as class colors, and the Jack rose, as our class flower.
