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.

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. (Ethel from behind the counter greets them) Ethel—Why, hello girls! Can I do any¬ thing for you to-day? Mary C.—Yes, we’re looking for gradua¬ tion gifts for members of our class. 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?

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. Nellie Connolly Curling Iron Nellie here’s an iron for curling With hair you always liked to fuss, We confess it’s not of sterling But, it’s guaranteed not to rust.
