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.

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?

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.

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.
