To the finale hoppers of the Sophomore Class, Douglas Barberie and Sidney Hor¬ ton. we would advise that if they wish to maintain their sthnding as “sheiks.” H would be desirable to invest in a higher priced car than a $25 Ford. We advise William Crowly to learn the distinction between tomato plants and cab¬ bage plants, so that in the future he will not ruin Keevers’ business by failing to identify these vegetables. ■ Turbulent. Fresh es: Since you are re¬ garded as the babies of the school, it. is to be expected that you are the noisiest class. However, we can see no reason why you should not quiet down by next fall as we do not believe the stairs are strone enough to hold your clumsy feet during another year. Angelo Marconi would be far better otf if he could keen his head in the French room during Ancient History and not keen the members of the Physics class in trouble watching him perform on the win¬ dow sill. We advise Everett Tate to purchase a steam cuage so that when he arrives at the school he can refer to this cuage in order to see that he has enough breath left to climb the stairs. It would he best for “Pat” Duggan to ererc ' se extreme caution while attemnting to twist his tongue around “Nebuchadnez¬ zar” in Ancient. History If John Pohorylo would have his h n? r mowed off at least once everv two months he would not bo so easily mistaken for r travelling representative of the “House of David.” Our Honorable Principal. Mr. Hunt, would appreciate the troupe saved hi” ' writing nasses if “Pete” Wallace would kindlv arrive in school by 8.30 at least once a week. We wish to congratulate members of the hasehall team and the debating societv on their splendid work during the past year Our association with vou. undergrad¬ uates. has been most enioyable and the en¬ tire class wishes vou the greatest success hiring the rest of your high school davs We hone that you will strive as earnestlv “s we did to maintain the high standard of the Windsor Locks High School. Joseph Lodola, ’25. RESPONSE TO ADV ICE TO UNDERGRADUATES. We, the Undergraduates of the Wind¬ sor Locks High School, after listening patiently to your kind but unneeded advice, shall endeavor to thank you and at the same time offer a little advice to the class as a whole. We might continue to tell for an hour what a fine and honorable class you have been but that would be considering but one side of your reputation. On the other hand a stranger might have thought you were freshmen instead of dignified Seniors from the noise he might have heard, some¬ times, when you were passing to classes In this respect, you might have done well to have imitated some of the lower classes. We would also suggest that a few ' of you invest in a “Big Ben” alarm clock if you are going to continue staying out late at night, for you will not be able to get a pass from Mr. Hunt when you are late for work. In spite of these criticisms we congrat¬ ulate you on the successful presentation of the Senior Play. We thank vou for your kind help in assisting in our various class programs. The members of the baseball team will be greatly missed, especially our Captain, whose fighting spirit is unequalled by any other member of the team. In a few words we are very sorry to see you go and as a parting word we extend to you a welcome to come back at any time to visit the old High School where the hap¬ piest days of your life were spent. Edward Micha, ’26. -(o)- STATISTICS. Who’s Who in the Senior Class. Oh. I beg your pardon. It was so care¬ less of me but you see I was so absorbed in this book that I didn’t see you.

Know all men by these presents, that I, the Spirit of the Class of 1925, of the Windsor Locks High School, Town of Windsor Locks, County of Hartford, State of Connecticut, United States of America, being of sound and disposing mind, do make, declare and publish this, my last will and testament, and all former instru¬ ments made by me are hereby revoked. As by the Grace of God, I, like others who have gone before me, have been allowed my allotted time and full enjoy¬ ment thereof, and as my principles have been above reproach; and being absolute¬ ly and undoubtedly sane, as the combined medical force of Windsor Locks can tes¬ tify, I feel the keen necessity of placing some conditions upon the bequests about to be made. , I give, devise and bequeath to the Junior Class all the good advice found on the boards in Room Three Juniors, since you are such a w ' ild class, I hope that you will follow this advice that did the Class of ’25 so much good. I give, devise and bequeath to the Soph¬ omore Class a fire alarm. Sophs, since you never seem to hear the bells when they ring, I am leaving you this alarm, which I hope is loud enough to be heard above the noise made by you. I give, devise and bequeath to the Fresh¬ man Class a set of felt soles for their shoes. Freshies, the pounding made by you coming down the stairs is so dan-
