SALUTATORY ANI) ESSAY. Members of the Buird of Education, Super¬ intendent, Principal, Faculty, Undergrad¬ uates, Parents and Friends:— We appreciate your interest in us in being present at our Class Night exercises, and in behalf of the Class of 1926, I extend to you a sincere welcome. Special Days. Certain days are set aside by the govern¬ ment to be observed for some special pur¬ pose. The significance of these days is emphasized by programs in the schools. Special days provide opportunity for les¬ sons in good citizenship. Goodwill Day, May 18, has been observed by the world as a reflection of the good¬ will of the Locarno treaty. It is to remind the young people of all nations that peace and friendship are the bulwark of the world, and that they should do all they can to strengthen these ideals. The teachers of all nations are studying this question of goodwill and are teaching the children not to hold a grudge against their national neighbors, but to understand and sympathize with them. Boys and girls are also being taught to see the indebted¬ ness of our country to other countries, for the important products which are manufac- ured in foreign countries, for their con¬ tributions to science, literature and art. Through music, for example, nations may learn to appreciate others. Many songs written by others than Americans are pop¬ ular in our own country, and are loved by all. Music, a language of emotion and sym¬ pathy, is understood by all nations, and should be a link in binding nations together. It is hoped that soon Goodwill Day may become a day of international significance, and will play a big part in establishing peace and friendship in the world. Memorial Day reminds us of the brave men who died to save their country. It is justly proper that we celebrate a day of honor and respect to the memory of our soldiers. They sacrificed their lives for their country, and we have profited by their efforts. This day should arouse a sense of patriotism in all true American citizens, and a desire to prevent war. Independence Day is the birthday of the Declaration of Independence, which freed the colonies from England. It is now 150 years since the Declaration of Independence was signed. This year the whole nation is observing this anniversary of freedom. Armistice Day marks the end of the World War. When we think of the horrors of this war, of all that it cost in the way of human lives, we should be thankful that its end was accomplished, and be deter¬ mined to maintain the peace for which our soldiers died. The birthdays of Washington and Lincoln bring to our minds the work which these two great men did for their country, and all that they accomplished for its peace and prosperity. Each year we find inspiration from a study of their lives. Mother’s Day, although not a patriotic day, should mean much to us. If we have been busy all the year around, and haven’t had time to think of mother, this day gives us an opportunity to do so. We can never realize how much our mother means to us until we lose her, so while we are so fortu¬ nate as to still have her with us, we should do something to show how much we appre¬ ciate her. She has spent the best years of her life in bringing us up, in educating us, and in denying herself many things so that we could have every advantage. Now it is our turn to do somethkg for her. She will be very happy to know that we havn’t forgotten her. In addition to special days, there are important weeks which the schools observe. Education Week, which is usually desig¬ nated in early December, reminds us of the value of education. On each day attention is called to some specific influence upon education. Monday is Constitution Day; Tuesday, Patriotism Day; Wednesday, School and Teacher Day; Thursday, Con¬ servation and Thrift Day; Friday, Know Your School Day; Saturday, Community and Health Day; and Sunday, God and Country Day. Thus we observe every day in the week in some special way. The importance of education in school is emphasized by this week. Every boy 12 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD and girl should have at least a high school education, and if possible attend a college or higher institution. The educated man or woman can always get along in the world more advantageously than the unedu¬ cated man or woman. Education has made civilization. Without education the world would not be in its present stage of pros¬ perity and culture. Education prevents crime. If many of the criminals had made the most of their opportunity to become educated, they might not have become the evil men thut they are. Therefore, educa¬ tion is necessary for the betterment of the world. Thrift Week, which is celebrated in Jan¬ uary, should arouse in us the desire to save regularly, and to keep up the good work all the year round. The man who saves money derives more joy from life and has more advantages than the spendthrift. The man who has some money saved is not in desperate straits if fire should destroy his home and property. It is a good policy to save. Thrifty men and women are usually good citizens. In the lives of High School students Graduation is a red letter day. We are proud to have completed our course of study and to have earned our diploma, but we are sorry that we are leaving the school where we have spent some of the best days of our lives. Our roads will separate and we may not see each other again. It is a day of sorrow as well as of gladness. It is a day of thoughtfulness and one which we shall always remember. On the whole, these special days are of value to humanity, for they remind us of the noblest principles for which we stand, and make us pause in our busy life to appreciate what others have done. We are better for the observance of these days. Edna Mocklis, ’20. -(o)- CLASS HISTORY. Cornne—The other night I was thinking over the events of our high school days and I was in hopes that I should meet one of my old classmates so as to discuss fully our happy times spent there. Now that we are together let us see if we can recall all the happenings which we experienced with the rest of our classmates. Agnes—Oh, yes, that’s a thought. Per¬ haps between us we shall be able to think of most all of our class history. Corrine—I remember the latter part of our school life fairly well but I am sure that the first of it has slipped my memory. Do you recall our entrance as Freshmen ? Agnes—Sure, of course I do. Don’t you remember that in September, 1922, we en¬ tered “the little red sehoolhouse” forty-two in number and Miss Hildreth was our class teacher? Oh, you must remember now. Corrine—Yes, that’s so and we held our first class meeting November 20th when we elected Henry O’Leary for President; Edward Micha, Vice-President; Charles Colli, Treasurer, and Florence Migliora, Secretary. What great fun we had with these officers! Now what was the next thing of importance? Was it our rhetorical program at Christmas time? Agnes—Why, no. Before that program we had a surprise party in October at the home of Ruth Kenyon, a member of our class, who was leaving us to move to Wind¬ sor. We certainly had a lot of fun at that party, didn’t we? Corrine—I ' ll say we did and we did miss Ruth, but we must all get used to separa¬ tions of that kind. Well, wasn’t the next event our Program ? Agnes—Yes. You tell about that. Corrine—Oh,, there isn’t much to tell Some of the Freshmen took part in it by- giving recitations. It was a very interest¬ ing affair and “the babies” of the school showed that they had enough courage to talk before the rest of the students. Now what came next ? Agnes—Oh, I know. Miss Hildreth, our class teacher, formed a weekly current event club to which all members of the class belonged. There we discussed all the topics of the day. It lasted only two weeks because our interest waned. Corrine—Yes, and the next thing was our class meeting which was held on June 5, when we elected Helene Leary as our new treasurer, for Charles Colli had left school. Agnes—Sure enough. Then our Prize Speaking Contest took place. It was held in the Main Room, Friday, June 8th. This was our second appearance before the High School. Sixteen members took part by giv¬ ing recitations of their own selection. The monotony. of this affair was relieved by music which was furnished by the High School Orchestra. The prizes were award- son, and the second to Margaret Brett ed as follows: The first to Elizabeth Jack- W ell, that ended our Freshman year. Now how did our Sophomore year begin? Corrine—Oh, twenty-two of us returned but we were very glad to receive Dorothy I helps into our class, making our number twenty-three. On the 16th of October we THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 13 held our first class-meeting to choose our class officers for the year. They were as follows: President, Sarah Compaine; Vice- President, Edward Micha; Secretary, Eliz¬ abeth Jackson; Treasurer, Florence Mig- liora; Class Editor, Frances Orvis. Agnes—That’s right. Our First Sopho¬ more program was held on December 21, under the the direction of our English teach¬ er, Miss Barrett. Sarah Compaine acted as chairman. At the end of this enter¬ taining program, Mr. Ellsworth gave a short talk to the school. Corrine—On January 8th we had a class meeting to plan for a sleighride, but these plans were never carried out, due to the lack of snow. Agnes—It was a great disappointment to us to miss the fun which always accom¬ panies a sleighride. And what happened next? Corrine—I remember. A rhetorical pro¬ gram was given February 21 in honor of Washington’s and Lincoln’s birthdays. Ed¬ ward Micha presided as chairman. This affair was enjoyed by the whole school. I think that was the last important event in our second year, wasn’t it? Agnes—Yes, except that during this year the savings system was introduced in the school and many of the pupils started accounts. During our third year we kept this up with a 100% record. Corrine—Yes, but there were only seven¬ teen pupils in our Junior class and at our first meeting we chose Edward Micha for President, Sarah Compaine for Vice-Pres¬ ident, Dorothy Phelps for Treasurer, Flor¬ ence Migliora for Secretary, and Edna Mocklis for Class Editor. Agnes—I think you have them right, and on election day we had some fun. We took a straw vote for the President. It came out in favor of President Coolidge. Corrine.—On November 19, Barney Sta- pert, the world’s amateur champion typist, demonstrated his work before the Com¬ mercial Juniors and Seniors. He certainly could type and we all enjoyed the demon¬ stration very much. Agnes—Yes, it certainly was interesting. Do you remember the plans we made for our whist? Corrine—Yes, the Seniors got ahead of us and our plans were never carried out. An interesting talk about the advantages of having a typewriter at home was given to our class by Mr. Franklin Pierce, the State Supervisor of Secondary Education. His advice was carried out by a number of the commercial students. Agnes—We certainly were proud of Eliz¬ abeth Jackson when she won the first prize in the Home Lighting Contest. At the time of Lincoln’s birthday a program was presented and the Junior roll was called at which each answered with a short poem or quotation. Mrs. Leary had charge of this affair and everyone found it very entertain¬ ing. Well, do you remember what we did next ? Corrine—Let me think. Oh, I know. It was our Prize Speaking Contest in June under the direction of Miss Baker and Mrs. Leary. Eleven girls took part in it. Eliza¬ beth Jackson won the first prize and Mar¬ garet Brett won the second. We showed that we could speak in front of an audience as well as in school rhetoricals. Agnes—We were very sorry to lose a member of our class, Alice D avies, who had moved to Rhode Island. During this year we looked over samples of class rings and picked out the one which we liked best. We ordered them so as to have them all ready for our Senior year. Certificates of proficiency in typewriting were awarded to members of our class. Now what hap¬ pened during our last year? Corrine—Oh you forgot about the party at Mrs. Leary’s home in Thompsonville, the Friday after graduation. All of the girls were there and we certainly had a fine time. We like parties as well as anyone and it is doubtful when we would have broken up if it hadn’t been for the long distance back home. The second week of school our class rings came and we had the joy of wearing them throughout the whole of our Senior year. Agnes—When we started our last glori¬ ous year we numbered fourteen, but on the 2Gth of September we were glad to wel¬ come Florence Migliora back to the class. She had been spending the summer months in Italy visiting relatives. Let’s see, who were the class officers ? Corrine—Oh, Marcus Lawson was Presi¬ dent; Mary McHugh, Vice-President; Flor¬ ence Migliora, Secretary, and Edward Micha, Treasurer. Agnes—On October 1G a class party was given at the home of Margaret Brett. Miss Baker and all the girls were there. We played games, sang songs, had refreshments and all had a wonderful time. Corrine—Speaking of parties, our class planned a Hallowe’en Party, w’hich was given for the school at Memorial Hall on October 30. It was a costume party and a lively affair at that. Agnes—I’ll say it was and on the 22nd of 14 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD January we gave our Senior dance in the Memorial Hall. This was a very happy occasion and was well attended. Corrine—Oh I remember that. A Senior and Junior sleighride was held Tuesday, February 9th. We went to SuiField and had refreshments at a lunch room there. We all enjoyed the trip very much and we cer¬ tainly made an evening of it. But what happened next? Agnes—I know. It was our Valentine Party given by Miss Baker. We had a splendid time, and synopses of plays were read so we could decide upon a title for our play. A few days later we sent for our play books and began studying our parts. Corrine—Yes, and on April JOth we pre¬ sented the play “Am I Intruding?” at the Rialto theatre. Twelve girls took part, in it, six taking boys parts and six, girls. This occasion was well attended and everyone thought it was a wonderful success. We are grateful to Miss Parkin, Mrs. Williams, and the Glee Club for furnishing music for it. Agnes—And that practically ended our school life, save for graduation. My, how those years did fly and think of the fun we had in spite of all the cares and hardships that go with school life. I wish we could meet again in a few years and discuss these happy events as we have talked them over to-night. Corrine—Yes, I wish we could, too. Corrine Burwood, ’26. Agnes Connolly, ’26. -(o)- PRESENTATION OF CLASS GIFT TO TII.E SCHOOL. “A good book,” said Milton, “is the precious life-blood of a master-spirit, em¬ balmed and treasured up on purpose to a life beyond life.” We should choose our books and maga¬ zines wisely, as we choose our friends for they tell us all that wise men know. There are two things which we should remember about reading; two reasons why we should read at all. The first reason is to gain knowledge, and the second, is to stir imagination. Good magazines give us this opportunity for both instruction and enter¬ tainment. “The National Geographic Magazine” is considered one of the best magazines of the day and is published to promote geographic knowledge. It contains articles written by people who have traveled and actually seen the facts of which they write. Photographs taken during the journey and colored plates accompany these articles. Discourses on nature such as flowers, birds, animals, mineral products, fisheries, and articles con¬ cerning the characteristics of all nations are written especially for “The National Geographic Magazine.” This year we have started a school library and it has proved of great value to the pupils of the school. Although it is not large, we hope it will continue to grow. As an addition to the library, we, the Class of 1926, present to the school a sub¬ scription for two years, to “The National Geographic Magazine.” We hope that you will enjoy this magazine and find that it contains valuable information. Ruth Drake, ’26. -(o)- ACCEPTANCE OF GIFT. In behalf of the Windsor Locks High School I wish to thank the Class of 1926 for this thoughtful gift. “The National Geographic Magazine” will be greatly appreciated by all members of the school. As you know ' we have not many maga¬ zines in our library. Most of our books are reference books. “The National Geo¬ graphic Magazine” is both instructive, as a reference book, and entertaining, as a novel. The value of reading is not unknown to us. This has been proved by the large number of students who have used the library during the past year. Without doubt this magazine will draw a larger group of students to the library next year. Dear Seniors, whenever we look at the pictures in this magazine or read its con¬ tents, we shall think of the class of 1926 who presented us with this valuable gift. Before parting, w ' e wish to congratulate you on your past success and we hope that your future will be successful and happy. Phyllis Frey, ’27. -(o)- VALUE OF FRENCH. Many people are of the opinion that the study of French has no special value. But if we consider the political, cultural, and social advantages of a knowledge of the French language, we shall see that there are many benefits derived from its study. At a moment’s thought w r e do not realize the educational opportunities which the THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 15 study of a foreign language offers us. The study of French is as tru ' y educational as that of any other language, and the subject may be taught with as much benefit to the pupil as any other. In our everyday life we can see the bene¬ fits from being acquainted with the ideas of a foreign people. We want universal peace. In order to obtain it we must agree, or be willing to compromise on governmen¬ tal topics. By having an intimate knowl¬ edge of the modes of life and the thoughts of a foreign people, we understand each other better, we can discuss topics more freely and thus prevent much dispute. If we are to come into closer contact with France we should have some know ' edge of the French language. Language has unique force, and the an¬ cient languages in particular have power of the greatest worth. French is a very useful language, for it enlarges our English vocabulary and is in some cases a basis to other languages. Franklin once said that French was a fundamental study to Latin. In t r anslating from a foreign language a pupil must learn to use extreme nicety and accuracy of judgment in choosing the specific word or phrase which will convey as nearly as possible to his mind what the foreign language conveys to the foreign mind. Thinking in a foreign language is a useful and pleasurable experience and a practice by all means to be eventually en¬ couraged, for there is no such thing as bluffing in a foreign language examination. The average American father or mother says that many of our high school studies, including French are not practical. They think that their children should study only shorthand, bookkeeping, and other com¬ mercial studies. All are of great value to a boy or girl who choses a bus ' ness career. But even in businesses such as banking and insurance. French terms are constantly used. Expressions such as “coup d’ etat” and “connaisseuer” appear often in our daily papers. Perhaps we mav have some idea of the influence of the French ' anguage upon our own when we consider these recently-loaned French words: “Chauffeur, camouflage, depot and menu.” The literature of a nation is the expres¬ sion of national personality and ideals and one cannot study it without absorbing that personality and those ideals. French liter¬ ature has many characteristic traits such as: love of form, love of self-expression and politeness. We are all acquainted with the old French saying: “Les Fran- cais sont tout a fait polis.” Is not such a language as this worthy of study by our youth ? French has also a great value as a key to literary and scientific writings. French writers such as Corneille, Hugo, and Moliere have contributed a great deal to literature which can best be learned through a study of the works of these authors. Since France has contributed so much to Science, we can keep up with its advance in no better way than through the reading in their own language of the discoveries of such scientists as Pasteur and Madame Cure. A great deal of pleasure is received when in reading papers and books we are able to understand French words and phrases which we constantly meet. There is hardly a book at the present time which does not contain one or more French words. Take any present day novel and we find that the author writes under a “nom de plume.” The heroine of the story generally belongs to the “nouveau-riche” class. Her modest hat is disguised as “chapeau,” and her suit an an “ensemb’e.” A common meeting-place is given the elaborate name of a “ren¬ dezvous.” The s ; mple bill of fare “a la carte or table d ’hote” is made to look quite ornate under its decorations of “entrees,” “hors d’oeuvre,” and “dishes a la- mode.” Considering the fact that the study of French not only helps the study of our own language, gives us an idea of the lives end customs of others, furnishes a key to literature, and scientific writings, but also affords us an enormous amount of pleasure, we realize that the study of French has both a cultural and practical value. Margaret Brett, ’26. -(o)- STATISTICS. Hello, Mary. Hello, Sarah. Sarah—I’ve got a great surprise for you. Mary—Really? What is it? Sarah—The other night I was fussing with the radio, and seeing how many sta¬ tions I could get when I tuned in on Sta¬ tion WLHS. I was always told that this station broadcasts good programs so I decided to listen in. At first I heard some sort of musical program, but then came the surprise. What do you suppose it was ? Mary—Oh, tell me. 16 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD Sarah—They were broadcasting “Who’s Who in the Senior Class of Windsor Locks High School.” Well, you may be sure I listened attentively. I tried to take down the remarks but you see I don’t know short¬ hand so that was impossible. The com¬ ments were very interesting and very true. At the end- of the program it was an¬ nounced that if anybody wanted a copy of the “Who’s Who” he could obtain it by re¬ quest. Of course I wrote at once and I have just received it. Mary—Well, read it to me. Sarth—All right, here goes. First on the list comes our worthy president, Mar¬ cus Lawson, better known as “Red.” It says that Marcus’ favorite saying is, “I’m off on girls.” Yes, he always told us that, but we didn’t believe him, de we, Mary? His favorite food is eggs, especially Whites. Why the Whites more than any¬ thing else? His disposition is good-natur¬ ed. That’s true. He doesn’t live up to his red hair, you see. Appearance —sheiky, especially his socks; Favorite pastime — entertaining the girls. He surely did enter¬ tain us during the noon hour. Favorite song—“Show Me the Way to Go Home.” Some day “Red” hopes to be a chemistry teacher’s assistant. The last remark is that he just hates to do his French. Yes, I noticed that more than once. Next is Dorothy Phelps. Dot’s favorite expression is “Now, now, listen, you are my onliest little one.” Her food — corner beef and cabbage. Here’s something that’s very true. It says her disposition is talkative. Appearance—dignified. Well, at least, she tries to be at times. There is nothing Dot likes any better than to write notes. They are long ones, too. Her favorite song is “Sidewalks of Church Street.” Dot dis¬ likes to be so short. I don’t blame her a bit. Her ambition is to be employed by a certain clothing store in Hartford. They aren’t mentioning any names. Here’s Elizabeth Jackson, often called “Libby.” When anything goes wrong with Elizabeth she always says, “Hambone!” Her favorite food is milk. I admire her taste. Her disposition—conservative,, ap¬ pearance-scholarly. “Libby’s favorite pastime is translating Virgil. Her favorite song is, “All She Is. Is an Old-fashioned Girl.” She detests Trinity Freshmen. I wonder if that is supposed to be sarcasm. Her greatest desire is t t e h Livy, Hor¬ ace, etc., but especially Horace. Listen to this about Mary McHugh. Maxie is always saying, “Oh, Christo¬ pher!” Her favorite sweets are choco¬ lates. Her disposition is changeable and her appearance, dreamy. Maxie would rather go out riding than do anything else. Favorite Song—“Big Boy.” Mary dislikes powder. So I always noticed. She thinks it’s a sin to use it. Her highest aspiration is to become a fancy dancer. The next on the list is Florence Migliora, known to all as Fluffy. She is always ex¬ claiming, “Oh boy, here comes a motor¬ cycle.” Her favorite food is little apples. Her disposition—obstinate. She certainly is, especially at class meetings. Her ap¬ pearance—mischievous. Fluffy is always listening for a motorcycle. Here, too, they don’t mention any names. The song she prefers is, “I Want to be Happy.” Some day she hopes to tour the world. As a last comment on Fluffy it is said that she hates to have her own way. This one is about Margaret Brett. Midge’s favorite expression is, “Cheese it, cops.” Yes, she always said that during the sixth period. Her favorite food is ice cream. Her disposition—cheerful, appear¬ ance—petite, favorite pastime—walking down Spring street. I wonder what the attraction is? Whenever Midge sings, she always chooses, “Brown Eyes Why Are You Blue?” There is nothing she detests more than Algebra class. Her ambition is to live in Thompsonville and keep boarders. This one is about you, Mary. It says that you are sometimes called Johnny. You are constantly exclaiming, “Good grac’ous, child!” Your favorite food is rice pudding. Good reason why. Disposition—generous, appearance—serious, favorite pastime— going to weddings. They’ve got your num¬ ber all right. Remember the one you went to in May? It took you a week to get over it. Your voice is often lifted to the tune of “When Johnny Comes Marching Home.” You disl ' ke to ride in Fords. That’s t’ ue. You wouldn’t be disgraced. Some day you hope to be an opera singer. Well, I’m getting tired of reading. You better read the rest of them. Mary- Isn’t this interesting? Yes, I’ll read the rest. Memories and vis : ons of those day will come back to me in just a few minutes. Well, what next? Why! Sophie Markman. who was alwavs known as “Sparky.” Didn’t that name stick to her? Her favorite saying is “Oh Pat!” her favorite food is “Big Joe.” Well, that’s true. Her disposition is, curious. Believe me, she is curious. Appearance— noisy. We must forgive her, though, for being noisy because she is the baby in the class. I hope she will change in the future. THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 17 Her favorite song is “I Know Why.” She seems to know everything but her short¬ hand. She told me many times that she detested shorthand but I don’t see why she kept on taking it. Her amusement is “Thinking up alibis.” That’s right. If she spent more time on her shorthand than thinking about excuses perhaps she wouldn’t have detested the subject so much. She expects to live in Hartford. There’s a good reason why, but I won’t tell. Can you guess ? Well, here’s Edward Micha, called “Jeff.” He is always saying “Got a match? Your brother working?” His favorite food is gum. That’s a true fact. No girl or boy ever spends his money on gum as Jeff. Remember how he liked to get his teacher’s attention. His disposition is— Happy-go-lucky. Appearance—sunny. Fa¬ vorite song is “Always.” Many times Jeff disturbed other classes by singing this song. Favorite amusement is “Taking a stro ' l down a shady Knowle.” I wonder where that shady Knowle is situated? He goes to this spot that nobody knows because he dislikes too many around. His ambition is to become a Junior partner in the Wrig- ley Chew ' ng Gum Company. We’l, I hope he will soon have a share so that he can begin to save his nickels. This is about Agnes Connolly, often called “Ag“ for short. Her saying is “Stop teasing me.” She really hates to be teased. Her favorite food is “Love Nest.” “Ag” was a ' ways bashful. I wonder whv? Her appearance is innocent. Her favorite song is “Don’t Cry.” I believe she sang that to the children she took care of for her pastime. Her dislike—to be kidded about the boys. Perhaps when she becomes a nurse she won’t mind the teasing and kidding. , s one is about Corrine Burwood. some¬ times called “Jane.” She is constantly saying “For Heavens’ sake.” She has no favorite food. She likes anything that is sweet. Her disposition is mild. Appear¬ ance—pleasant. She is always pleasant whether anything is wrong or not. Her favorite amusement is writing books on “How to cure the ills of the World, or Marriage.” The song that she likes best is All Alone. Her ambition is to become a piano teacher. Corrine has the talent. I really think that some day she may be¬ come almost as great as Paderewski. Her d ' slikc is cats. Here’s Henry O’Leary’s. Listen to this. His nickname is “Hen.” His favorite ex¬ pression—“Kinda warm, isn’t it?” His disposition is carefree, w r ith an “I should worry” air. We know that all right, don’t we? His favorite food is Life-Savers. Remember, when Henry used to buy Life- Savers and bring them to school. I guess they did save his life many a time. His appearance—slim. Favorite pastime is sit¬ ting on the veranda in the dark. That’s t ue. 1 o you remember the party we all attended and how Henry was always to be found sitting on the veranda? His favor¬ ite song—“Oh! what a Pal is Mary.” This is very interesting. His ambition is to be a sheik. Don’t you think Henry will soon be one ? He dislikes home work. This is about my old pal Edna Mocklis, often called “Eddie.” Her favorite ex¬ pression is “My Word!” Disposition- friendly. She is a friendly girl. Her food is Bolsters. Her appearance—tall and stately. Her favorite amusement is playing post-office at parties. Her favor¬ ite song which she sings often is Just an Ice Dealer’s Sweetheart.” She may be¬ come as famous as Ella Cinders even if she is an ice dealer’s sweetheart. Her am¬ bition is to become the champion skater of Connecticut, She may, some day, if she keeps up her rate. Her dislike is boys. We know she dislikes certain boys like “Joe.” The next member of “Who’s Who” is Ruth Drake, known as “Sam.” Her favor- i:e saying is “Let me alone.” Disposition— qu et. Favorite food—watermelons. Her appearance—lonesome. Her favorite pastime is attending dances. Her favorite song—“I’m not the lonesomest girl in town.” We may all think she is, but we ought to see her Sunday evening. Her am¬ bition is to be a Charleston dancer. She dislikes teasing. The last one is about you, Sarah. You are sometimes, called “Georgie.” Your favorite expression is “Fer the love of Pete.” Your favorite food is Kisses. I don’t blame you for liking them. Your dis¬ position is lovable. Your appearance—at¬ tractive. our favorite amusement—walk¬ ing home from parties. Yes, I think your mother ought to buy you a Ford in which to drive home from parties. Favorite song—“Two O’clock in the Morning.” Yes, it was two o’clock when you got home from one party. Your ambition is to work in the Travelers Insurance Company. You’ll be right there. Your dislike—going to parties. Yes, we have noticed that you dis ' ike parties, especially the last one. I think these statistics were very enter¬ taining. I will be looking forward for the “Who’s Who” in the Senior Class of the Windsor Locks High School in 1927. Sarah Compaine, ’26. Mary Poloski, ’26. 18 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD FEEDING THE SOIL. Out of the eighty elements, only thirteen are necessary for crops. Four of these are gases: Hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and chlorine. Five are metals: Potassium, mag¬ nesium, calcium, iron and sodium. ' Four are non-metallic solids: Carbon, sulphur, phosporous and silicon. Three of these, hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon, which make up the greatest part of the plant are ob¬ tainable “adlibitum” from the air and water. The other ten in the form of salts are dissolved in water and sucked up from the soil. The quantity needed by the plant is so small and the quantity in the soil is so great that ordinarily we need not bother about the supply except in case of three of them. These are nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus. These would be useless in the elemental form but when blended in the form of a neutral salt are most essen¬ tial. A ton of wheat takes from the soil 47 pounds of nitrogen, 18 pounds of phos¬ phoric acid and 12 pounds of potash and if the farmer does not put back as much material on the soil each year, his crops will soon fail to pay him. The modern farmer now realizes that the soil is a laboratory for the production of plant food and often takes more pains to provide a balanced ration for it than he does for his own family. The need of feeding the soil was founded many hundreds of years ago by the great Latin poet, Virgil, in his poem, “The Georgies.” The nitrates used in fertilizer were found in Peru and Chile by a German, Taddeo Haehke, in 1809, but it was not until the last quarter of the century that nitrates came into commonNise as a fertilizer. Germany had a natural monopoly of potash as Chile had a natural monopoly of nitrates The world has been virtually dependent upon these two sources of plain foods. Were it not for the nitrate beds of Chile and potash beds of Germany, what would the United States have done for fertilizer before the war? In 1915, when the Great World War took hold of America, the Ger¬ man potash supply was shut off. What was to be done for fertilizer? An extensive search was made in this country for potassium compounds, and many sources of potash were found. The most promising of these are the recovery of potash from the flue dust of cement works and the dust from iron blast fur¬ naces, the evaporation of brims of lakes, which were located in California and Ne¬ braska and the separation of potassium compounds from kelp. The United States used two hundred and thirty-seven thousand tons of potash in 1911. Although beds were found in our own country, they were not as large as those in Stassfuit and Germany. Germany prepared, during the war. be¬ cause she had a new process of making nitrates while our own country was without a way of getting nitrates. Much money had been spent upon a new method of pro¬ ducing nitrates, which w’as a success. The place that now supplies America with nitrates is Muscle Shoals, which is situated in Alabama, on the Tenneessee river. A great amount of money was spent in build¬ ing a large dam to make power to take free nitrogen from the air and change it into nitrates. Now the United States gets most of her fertilizer materials in her own country, which was made possible by the building of the nitrate plant at Muscle Shoals. Our country is now independent of any country for its fertilizer supplies. Marcus Lawson, ’2fl. -(o)- ADVICE TO UNDERGRADUATES. Undergraduates of the Windsor Locks High School. Dear Infants:— After four short years in dear old Wind¬ sor Locks High School, we cannot bear to leave you to-night without giving you a few words of good, sound, much-needed advice. During these years we have watched you carefully, and have burdened our hearts to the extent that to-night we take the opportunity of telling you some of your faults and’ of giving you a little ad¬ vice how to overcome them. For example, we, Seniors, simply cannot understand, why. during Activity Period, the room is so silent that you can hear a pin drop, but the moment the Princinal leaves the room, it is like Bedlum let loose. There is an uproar, a conglomeration of voices! If you undergraduates, wou ' d glance behind you a+ the Seniors, you would see a fine exam¬ ple of cultured and well-mannered young men and women. Juniors, in particular, this is the fir ' ! year that the Junior Class has not nartici- nated in the Junior Prize Essav Contest. We strongly urge vou to maintain the tra¬ ditions of the old Windsor Locks High. I would suggest to you. Marion Pheln that you buy an alarm clock, for vou niav not be fortunate enough to get a ride across the bridge at 8.29 in the morning next year. THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD Also, Marion, follow Henry O’Leary’s ex¬ ample by coming late only four days in the week and save the fifth to cheer up the Principal. Hilda Rego and Marie Midden, we espec¬ ially advise you to be a little more atten¬ tive in the future, when Radio programs are given in the Main Room. We would advise Lucille Knowles to be¬ come a little better acquainted with text books and a little less acquainted with Ford and Buick Cars! We keenly advise you, Douglas Barberie, to invest some of your extra cash in the book entitled, “The Seven Secrets of Speed in Typewriting,” so that if the Juniors should ever give another exhibition of type¬ writing in the Main Room, you will come out a little better than with an average of seven words per minute! ! !! Silly Sophomores—We have yet to find a class that has lived up to its name as well as you have. You are truly silly—but we have to admit that you are a bright class and we congratulate you for coming out ahead on the reading tests, but don’t be too proud of the fact for you still have a long, long way to go, as far as behavior is concerned. We sincerely hope that dur¬ ing the summer months you will play to your heart’s content, and in the fall when you return to be Juniors, you will have lost some of the playfulness and will give the rest of the school some peace. Everett Tate, we suggest that you come straight up to. your home room and stop teasing the eighth grade girls at noon¬ time. We know, Everett, this will be diffi- cult, for the girls will not leave you alone. We are often reminded of that old song, “They go wild, simply wild, over me!” We advise you, Mae White, to buy your¬ self a big red bow to tie in front of you, when going into French Class. “Red” is a very appropriate color for you, Mae, so that every r time you look at it, it will remind you to behave yourself, at least in French Class. Lloyd Burwood, we would suggest th you bring a lunch with you every mornii to be eaten at recess, so that members the faculty will not worry when they lea the paste or explosives lying around in t chemistry room. Now, we come to the Freshies who a m dire need of some good advice. Fir of all Freshies—cultivate those voices yours. ! ! We have our doubts sometimt when passing the main room, as to wheth they are human voices or not. Vam Freshman girls, especially, we a 19 vise that you get together and buy your¬ selves a mirror. Remembe(r, girls, the mirror in the dressing-room was intended for all the girls in the High School and not for Freshman girls alone. We would advise Pinky Wallace and Fred Kennedy to leave the Point a little earlier evenings. We have often wondered why two who lived so near the school should be late so often. Now we know that if you would leave Warehouse Point before 12.30 in the morning, you might get to school on time one day in the week. Emma Hart and Rose Polozie, we advise you two not to linger so long on the bridge just now, for it is being repaired, and your presence is distracting the young men who are working there. I am afraid that the work will never be completed if you con¬ tinue to take your exercise there every noon. As for Willie Karges, all we do, Billy, is advise you to join a circus and become a clown. You have much talent along this line. You have had plenty of practice giving daily performances during study periods. In spite of all this advice, Undergradu¬ ates, we love you dearly and our associa¬ tion with you for four years has been most pnjoyable. It is with a heavy heart that we leave you to-night. In the future our memory will often carry us back to the happy hours spent with you. Florence J. Migliora, ’26. -(o)- RESPONSE TO ADVICE to Undergraduates. We, the Undergraduates of the Windsor Locks High School, after having listened to your kind words of advice wish to thank you, and at the same time give our opinion of your class, as a whole. Although much may be said about you as a fine and honorable class, there is another side which has been evident during the past year. You have upheld your repu¬ tation of being a noisy class. We also notice in the Activity Period when the Principal leaves that the dignified Seniors start the ball rolling and are as talkative as the rest of the school. In spite of these criticisms we congratu¬ late you on the successful presentation of the Senior Play and we also thank you for assisting in the various programs and activities of the school. The members of the baseball team will be greatly missed next year. We are sorry to see you go and as a 20 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD parting word, we extend to you a welcome to come back any time to visit the o ' d school where the four happiest years of your life were spent. Douglas Barberie, ’27. -(o)- ADDRESS OF WELCOME. Members of the School Board, Superintend¬ ent, Teachers, Undergraduates, Parents and Friends:— It is with great pleasure that I, in behalf of the Class of 1926 , welcome you here this evening. After four long years, we have reached our goal. But it is with sadness as well as with joy that we come here to-night, for the thought that our happiest days are over, seems to overshadow the happiness that we have attained. As our class motto vve have chosen the Latin phrase, “Facta, non verba,” which is in English “Deeds, not words.” The deeds of great men excel any mere words that they have ever spoken. Just for example, take Wellington, the great English general, who overcame Napoleon. Hardly a word that he ever spoke is remem¬ bered, but his act at Waterloo marks the end of a great epoch. Now we are about to undertake new en¬ terprises and ve intend to follow this motto. The Class of 1926 has striven and will strive for “Deeds, not words.” Marcus Lawson, ’26. -(o)- ADVERTISING. Years ago in the Old Testament times the Carthaginians used to sail along the Med¬ iterranean with their merchandise, until they reached Lybia. They would then un¬ load and light a large bonfire on the coast near their wares and would return to their ship. The inhabitant? knowing that there was something for sale would go down to the fire, inspect the goods, and place a pile of gold next to them. The Carthaginians would land again, examine the gold and if in their judgment the goods were well paid for they took the gold and sailed away. This bonfire is the first form of advertising of which history tells. Before advertising was developed into a fine art and before it became a factor in the commercial world, the business of the manufacturer and merchant was to supply the normal needs and desires of the human family. Man knew little of the luxuries of yesterday which prove to be the necessities of to-day. Advertising makes one think of new and fascinating things, and thus fills one’s mind with new desires. To secure judicious advertising four ques¬ tions must be determined: What to adver¬ tise, where to advertise, when to advertise, and how to advertise. What to advertise.—Obviously that product may be the most advertised for which there is the greatest demand. Every¬ body knows that food stuffs, c othing, furni¬ ture, and homes should be brought before the eyes of the public extensively, while eyeglasses, ear-trumpets and other articles, in order to remain progressive must be ad¬ vertised less. It may be stated as a rule, therefore, that how extensively an article should be published depends upon how use¬ ful it is to the public. Where to advertise.—The advertiser must be careful not to advertise articles such as coal in Newcastle, fur coats in Brazil and palm leaf fans in Iceland. The manufac¬ turer must first discover where the great¬ est demand for his special line exists before starting to advertise. Some do not hesitate to place homely placards all over the beau¬ tiful landscape of our country. Is this thoughtful advertising? When to advertise.—No man would ever commit such an error as to inform the pub¬ lic about straw hats in January, and snow shovejs in August, yet it is difficult to de¬ cide just when certain articles should be advertised. Here again the rule of demand applies: Advertise when there is a demand or when a demand may be created. How to advertise.—Among the several mediums through which the manufacturer calls attention to his godos are magazines, newspapers, trade papers, street car signs, circulars, and billboards. Such articles as a straw hat would be published to a better advantage in a monthly magazine, for the demand for this article lasts only two months, while real estate would be adver¬ tised more successfully in a newspaper, for when the sale or rental is accomplished, the advertisement need no longer appear. 1 he circulation of the magazine or paper, the sort of people it reaches, the location of a billboard, the type of passenger on a street car—all these aid the expert in de¬ termining the best medium for this pur¬ pose. 1’he next thing that the advertiser has to determine is whether he should advertise in print or illustration. It has recently been discovered that catchy phrases such as “Buy an Hour-g ass Clock and your time will be as faithful as the Tides of the Ocean;” “Breakfast without wine—rich cof¬ fee is a disappointment;’’ Sunlight-soap, THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 21 the soap that could wash away the sins of the world,” seem to please readers , more than just illustrations. In order to be progressive a manufacturer must express himself in such a way that his words “sing to one ' s pocketbook.” Words are the im¬ portant thing in advertising, and when one has found them the secret of the most in¬ telligent publishing has been discovered. By advertising a company does not necessarily mean to draw away trade from a concern similar to its own that doesn’t advertise. It has a greater value. It not only supplies the public with information as to economical means of living but it also makes one familiar with certain things that are needed which were never before regarded as necessary to human contentment or happiness. It helps to bring man into contact with new and con¬ venient articles made to aid him in his daily work. When things are constantly repeated the mind becomes impressed—and after all, advertising is only repetition. Dorothy Phelps, ' 26. -(o)- PROPHECY Last night as I sat down to read the evening paper I found some interesting bits of news which perhaps you will enjoy, too. It is now ten long years since my classmates and I graduated from the Wind¬ sor Locks High School and I have often wondered what became of the boys and girls with whom I spent the happiest days of my life. Well, these news items which I am going to read have to do with my former classmates. The first page I turned to was the sporting page and there I saw— well, let me read it to you as the sporting editor put it. “The New York Yankees yesterday de¬ feated the Washington Senators by the score of 9 to 4. ‘Red’ Lawson, star third baseman for the Yankees, poled out two homers and a double, bringing his total of home runs for the season to 48. He is also rated as one of the best third basemen in the major leagues to-day.” I am very glad to know that “Red” has succeeded in breaking into major league baseball for he w’as one of my teammates on the old High School team. On this same page there is another arti¬ cle which gives me much pleasure to read. “Henry O’Leary, former quarterback of the Harvard football team, and recent graduate of that college, signs a contract to play for the Chicago Bears. His salary is to be $40,000 a game. One of his team¬ mates in the backfield will be “Red” Grange, former star of the Illinois team.” Henry always was the outstanding star of the “Mohawks” football team. Here is another article: “Florence Migliora, a famous actress, will play the leading role in the great stage comedy success of the year entitled, ‘So’s Your Old Man.” As you probably remember “Fluffy” took the part of “Jerry” in our Senior Play, and received many congratulations on her acting. “Edna Mocklis, Private Secretary to the President of the United States—Toothpick Company, has just been selected as one of the fortunate young women to be chosen by Mr. Zeigfield to play a leading part in his 1937 Follies. Mr. Zeigfield is selecting his material this year from office stenogra¬ phers and private secretaries and was at¬ tracted by Edna’s blonde beauty and her ability as an actress and singer” “Ruth Drake, widely known as the best woman Physical Director in the country, is planning a large recreation hall for young women. Miss Drake is very clever with the gloves and is capable of giving worth¬ while instructions. Miss Drake says she owes her strength and health to her farm life during her school days.” Here is another piece of news which is interesting. “Corrine Burwood to-day won the Championship Typewriting Contest held in New York city, by writing 170 words a minute for haif an hour without an error.” Corrine was always the best typist in the class, and she won enough pins and medals from different typewriter companies to start a jewelry store. “Miss Burwood will now represent the Underwood Type¬ writer Company at a large salary. “Mary Poloski, the celebrated dancer, yesterday won the prize of $50,000 offered to the best Charleston endurance dancer. Miss Poloski danced steadily for 72 hours, defeating some of the best Charleston dancers in the country and breaking all endurance records.” Mary always did have the honor of being the best dancer in the class and we wish her success in her chosen profession. “Mary McHugh was to-day hired as head usher in the Metropolitan Opera House. This position is one of great responsibility and commands a large salary. Miss Mc¬ Hugh says she owes her ability as an usher to the training which she gained while she was employed by the Rialto Theatre in Windsor Locks during her school days.” Well, “Maxie,” if we ever go to the Met¬ ropolitan Opera House we hope you’ll show 22 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD a little preference to your former High School friends and not shove us into ten cent seats as you used to when you worked in the Rialto. “Elizabeth Jackson, the best woman orator in the country, will talk over the radio to-night through Station WTIC on the “Whyness of The Which.” Miss Jack- son holds the record for being the longest talker in the world, having talked for three days, two nights, and four hours without stopping.” “Libby” always did like to talk and while we were in High School she picked us as her victims on whom to practice. “Miss Sophie Markman is to-day the own¬ er of the largest milk bottle manufacturing company in the United States. Miss Mark- man is a woman of much experience in this line of business. Her slogan is ‘Bigger and Better Milk Bottles.’ ” Well “Sparky” we all knew you would succeed in the milkbusiness for you cer¬ tainly got enough experience in it when you were in High School. “Miss Sarah Compaine has been chosen out of a number of candidates to fill the position as Dean of the Faculty in Smith College.” Well, “Shrimp, we hope you succeed in your profession and we know ' you will fol¬ low your sister’s footsteps. “Miss Margaret Brett has just been given the position as Business Editor of the Waterbury Herald.” If you do as well as you did when you were Business Manager of the Windsor Locks High School Herald, Margaret, we know you’ll make good. “Agnes Connolly is employed as a teacher in one of the largest kindergarten schools in Connecticut. Agnes always did like children, and the fact combined with her ability as a teacher will make her a great success. “Dorothy Phelps is employed as a for¬ eign buyer for Kennedy’s Clothing Stores.” There is no question as to w ' hether Dor¬ othy will succeed in this line of business for she always was interested in anything concerning Kennedy. Well, that is all I can find of my former classmates and I certainly have enjoyed reading about them, for I am glad to know that they have all succeeded in life and are well and happy. Edward Micha, ’26. CLASS POEM. Fact, Non Verba. In the little red schooihouse on the hill; Four happy years we’ve spent together But now life’s duties call us hither And many are the tasks we must fulfill. ’Tis not how many or how r few we do Nor is it how we hasten or delay, But ’tis how well we carry them through And the cheerfulness which we display. Its meaning let us long remember; Not words, but deeds, the motto of our class For the things we talk of quickly pass And die away like a glowing ember. As true Alumni let’s strive to do right; For the deeds we do, not the words we say Will bring to the world, both joy and light, And happiness to us along our way. Margaret Brett, ’26. -(o)- CLASS GIFTS With the month of May came a surprise for the Senior Class. A large May basket decorated with the colors of our class was left at the school door. We wondered what it was for, and who had sent it. Inside was another surprise. There was a gift for every member of the class, but we thought that instead of giving each one his gift then, we w ould wait until June and give them out on class night. So to-night each one will receive the gift which fits him most appropriately. We want these gifts kept in remembrance of some little incident which is connected with our High School days. The first one I see is an outomobile for:— Corrine Burwood—I am going to give you this cheap imitation of a Rolls-Royce. Corrine, you needn’t be afraid of being upset while riding in this, for this is guar¬ anteed harmless. I don’t think it will de¬ posit you in the road as the other one did, in which you were riding some time ago. Margaret Brett—Oh, here’s just what Peggy wants. In the Senior Play you wanted a wrap, But through some mishap Your plans went astray, Take this one, with you it will always stay. Ruth Drake—A doll for Ruth. In our play you were disappointed in not being able to acquire a husband, Ruth. It was too bad that he already had a wife. But cheer up! This one will wait for you THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 23 always, and as far as I know he has no wife. He will not deceive you by his en¬ dearing words—because he cannot talk. Dorothy Phelps—A book for Dot. Why look what is here! This must be for Dot, old dear, ’Tis a book about “Freddie” The name of her steady. Sophie Mark man—Sophie, since you are the baby of the class and have always been considered as such by your older and per¬ haps wiser classmates, I am giving you this now that you are graduating, to lay aside cute little rattle. But I would advise you, your youthful ways, and to look at this occasionally, only to remind you that you were the baby of the Class of 1926. Marcus Lawson—Marcus writes to a “certain party.” On stationery you always write To a “certain party” ’most every night, So : n case your supply should e’er run out, Use this paper. Don’t leave her in doubt. Elizabeth Jackson—Elizabeth, we have always admired your beautiful, raven locks, but we are afraid, that should you keep up at the rate you are going now, that they will be a dreadful burden when you are pur¬ suing your studies. Therefore, I am present¬ ing you with this pair of scissors, and when the strain becomes too great, use them to good advantage. Mary McHugh—Just what Mary wants so that she can ring up her friends. Because of a telephone you are so fond Take this and don’t keep your thoughts prolonged. To the neighbors’ houses you won’t have to go, To call up all the friends that you know. Edward Micha—Many a day, you have almost succeeded in making your teacher a nervous wreck by your fondness for chew¬ ing gum in class. It would be too bad if you ever got so poor that you couldn’t in¬ vest in any more chewing gum, so I am giving you ten shares in Wrigley’s Chewing Gum factory. I hope the investment will be a success. Edna Mocklis—Edna loves to ride in ice trucks, especially when a certain person drives it. We know that you always loved to ride On ice wagons with someone by your side Take this to remind you of those days When ice, a-truck, went a long, long way. Mary Poloski—Mary, I am sure that your schoolmates often w’ondered w ' here you got your good taste in clothes. You did love to dazzle your schoolmates with different styles in clothes. This little doll, is Dame Fashion, who will instruct you in the future in the art of “How to be late, but well dressed.” Agnes Connolly—Just the thing for bash¬ ful Agnes! A fan. Agnes, you’re very shy and modest, Take this fan, and when you’re embarrassed Just open it wide and hide your face Till your color subsides to its right place. Florence Migliora—You were more for¬ tunate than the rest of us in being able to sail the bounding main. You told us of the storm at sea and how frightened you were. We know you must have enjoyed your trip, and the pleasures which the old world’ offered. This little ship which I am giving you is to remind you of your journey and your safe return. Sarah Compaine—Isn’t this great? Now, Sarah won’t have to have any escorts. Sarah, here is a little bus for you, From parties you never get home ’til two. Hereafter use this and ride home at night, Then you won’t have to stay out ’till broad daylight. Henry O’Leary—What is this ? A girl for Henry. Here, Henry, take this little blue-eyed girl. It has blond hair that’s inclined to curl! She resembles your “Girlie” quite a bit, From this likeness we know you’re sure of it. Sophie Markman, ’26. Mary McHugh, ’26. -(o)- CLASS WILL. Know all men by these presents, that I, the Spirit of the Class of 1926, of the Wind¬ sor Locks High School, Town of Windsor Locks, County of Hartford, State of Con¬ necticut, United States of America, being of sound and disposing mind, do make, de¬ clare, 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 have gone before me, have been allowed my allotted time and full enjoyment thereof, and as my principles have been above reproach, and being absolutely and undoubtedly sane, as the combined medical force of Windsor Locks, can testify, I feel the keen necessity of placing some condi¬ tions upon the requests about to be made. I give, devise, and bequeath to the Class of Nineteen Hundred and twenty-seven the 24 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD honor of occupying the seats in Room Two left vacant by our English Class. We hope that you will not complain of the frailty of the chairs and that you will have a little more patience when using them than we had. I give, devise and bequeath to the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-eight an extra period. By using this extra period some time during the day, you will not have to stay after school to try your many experiments in Science. I give, devise and bequeath to the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-nine in¬ structions on how to take care of the li¬ brary, Freshies, when you get through using the reading matter in the library, you will arrange it in the proper order in which you found it as did your upper class- men. To the various members of the lower classes, we as individual Seniors, do be¬ queath the following items of inestimable value and to their heirs and assignees, to have and to hold forever. Sophie Markman leaves to Hilda Rego her knowledge of the milk business. We hope, Hilda, that by putting this knowledge to good use you will be able to take care of those six customers without the assist¬ ance of “Sparky.” Margaret Brett gives to John Pohorylo a bottle of ink. “Pullet,” by keeping this bottle handy, you will not have to trouble anybody for ink for the next two years, as you did Margaret. Mary Poloski gives to Angelo Marconi a book on “How to Do the Charleston.” Read this book carefully “Wazzi” and you will soon learn that the Charleston begins at home and not in Room five. Edward Micha wills to William Crowley a basketball. “Crow,” by keeping this ball in your possession you will not have to fight for one, down the hall next winter, and break a leg trying to get a shot. Corrine Burwood bequeaths to Marie Midden her secret in typewriting. Marie, if you will keep this secret to yourself you may be able to keep time to the “Stars and Stripes” next year and not have to tell your teacher, Mrs. Leary, you’re tone deaf. Ruth Drake bequeaths to Wesley White a pair of boxing gloves. Now, “Cow,” the next time you are sparring down in the basement you will not hurt your worthy opponent by your terrific hitting if you will only don the mitts; and also you will not dislocate your thumb. Marcus Lawson gives to Leon Pascoe his ability as a baseball player. Now, “Jasper,” by practicing this ability you may be able to hold down the “dizzy corner” next year as well as “Red” has. Edna Mocklis wills to John Karges her ability in dealing ice. Johnny, I’m sure that if you start the juggling of these cakes early, soon you will be in the pink of con¬ dition for the gridiron next fall; for Edna has broken a few chairs lately in Room Two due to her great physical condition and powerful strength. Florence Migliora gives Lucille Knowles her seat in Room Three. Lucille, I hope that you will not follow “Fluff’s” example and decorate it with all sorts of flowers so that it looks like a flower garden instead of a desk. Agnes Connolly bequeaths to Rose Polosi instructions on how to run a ware¬ house. Rosie, we hope that after follow¬ ing these instructions for a while you will be able to distinguish a broadleaf from a cabbage leaf. Agnes has often become confused as to which was which. Dorothy Phelps wills to Jul ia McKenna her disguise as a boy. Julia, next year if you happen to have a part as a boy in the Senior play you will have no difficulty in appearing in this role. Elizabeth Jackson gives to Edward Byrne her copy of Cicero. By studying this book very carefully, “Eddie,” you will be able to tell your teacher about Cicero, the orator, and not Cicero Sapp. Sarah Compaine bequeaths to Joseph Moran a dummy girl, so that he can pull her hair to his heart’s content without en¬ dangering the scalps of any of the Senior girls. Take good care of her, “Joe,” and maybe you can enjoy yourself for a feu- years to come. Mary McHugh gives to Joseph Gatti a book entitled “How to Become an Usher.” Now, “Joe,” some evening when Mary is absent you will have no trouble in escort¬ ing the people to their respective seats. I do nominate and appoint Mr. Grafmil- ler to be executor of this, my last will and testament in the presence of the witnesses named below, this twenty-first day of June in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-six. Spirit of the Class of 1926. Signed, sealed, declared and published by said Spirit of the Class of 1926, as for his last will and testament, in the presence of each other, have subscribed our names as witnesses hereto: Fred Kennedy, Lucille Knowles, John Sullivan, Harold Wallace, and Mae White. Henry O’Leary, ’26. THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD CLASS SONG. (Tune. Thine Own”) Gone are our school days which we loved so weli In years to come of those glad times we’ll tell Our mem’ry will take us back to those happy ways Our school days. We’ll all remember our happy times in High We’ll ne’er for-get those years which too fast rolled by We’ll always think of those gay, happy ways When we were classmates in our school days. Hours spent in that dear school were glad and joyous And make thoughts of those days seem sacred to us. But there were times when we had our troubles and sorrows there Which seemed e’en too hard to bear In Windsor Locks High, the school on the hill. Where for all our laurels we worked with a will, And we will cherish them and keep them ’till we’ve gained life’s hill. Farewell or e’er Dear Windsor Locks High. To-night we are together for the last time, 1 he ladder of life we are about to climb; When we look back On the years winding track We shall see our school days standing out bright and clear Midst the shadow and fog of our years. Farewell, teachers! Farewell, classmates! Farewell, dear Windsor Locks High! Corrine Burwood, ’20. -(o)- ESSAY AND VALEDICTORY. Our Educational Heritage. We Americans, like many other peoples, are often so busy struggling to gain ma¬ terially, that we forget to be thankful for certain blessings which we have. We for¬ get that the liberty and privileges which we enjoy are almost unknown in many lands. Many ideals and many principles nave been handed down from our fathers which should be as dear to us as they were to their originators. One of our greatest and most cherished heritages is our Ameri¬ can educational system. 25 From the very beginning of English col¬ onization in America, there have been schools. The earliest compacts and char¬ ters in Massachusetts settlements contained articles pertaining to provisions for the education of children. Several of New England’s oldest and largest cities began with a few farmhouses, a meeting-house, and a small one-room schoolhouse. Each settlement of fifty families was compelled to build and support a common school and provide a suitably trained “master.” Every settlement of one hundred families was fur¬ ther compelled to support a school in which boys could be prepared for the English Uni¬ versities, and later, for Harvard and Yale. As the population of the East increased, people saw the necessity of improving the school system. Larger public secondary schools were established upon an entirely new plan, and even to-day remain strictly the product and development of the New VV orld. Many private schools were formed and were usually modeledl after the Eng ¬ lish preparatory schools We need mention only a few men whom the old, undeveloped educational system produced. Franklin, Monroe and Jefferson speak better than words as to its results. Such men as they, realizing the advantage and necessity of education in these colonies were the ones who supported all good suggestions for its development. A glance at the literature produced so early in our history is ample proof that this new experimental education was ob¬ taining nearly as good results as that in the Old World. The Constitution of the United States is a noteworthy piece of writing, for it gives an example of clear, precise, forceful, American prose. Since our forefathers were especially students of law and government, we find that much of the literary production was of a legal nature. However, the lighter type of prose cf this period is found in the works of Washington Irving, who ranks with the famous authors of the world. Schools of all types continued to increase and improve. Much was done for them by forensic and legislative means. Daniel Webster, Wendell Phillips, Charles Sumner and many other men helped to advance edu¬ cation and did much to bring about greater equality among the different races repre¬ sented in our schools. Notable among the achievements of the nineteenth century was the founding of col¬ leges for women on an equal standing with Harvard and Yale. This was a splendid step forward in American education as has 2G THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD been so well proved since. After the Civil War, great strides were made in developing pubuc schools. Vocational and trade schools came into existence and immedi¬ ately proved their worth. This period is remarkable for men who were devoted to education. Eminent among these are Horace Mann and Bronson Alcott, men whose foresight and conscientious work helped to bring about the great revolution in the public elementary schools and even in the institutions of higher learning. Horace Mann once wrote, “The common school is the greatest discovery ever made by man. It is supereminent in its univer¬ sality and in the timeliness of the aid it proffers The common school can train up children in the elements of ail good knowledge and virtue.” This remark, coming as it did from so influential an educator, shows that our schools have been striving to train chil¬ dren not only to acquire knowledge, but also to live more abundantly. It is well to consider the literature of this period, also, for literature always re¬ flects the scholastic backgrounds of an era. Such men and women as Abraham Lincoln, Edward Everett Hale, Louisa M. Alcott, Henry YVard Beecher, and Harriet Beecher Stowe aid much to abolish class and racial prejudices and to advance American ideals. Lincoln’s “Gettysburg Address” is a model of American prose, and it expresses better than volumes of books the ideals of liberty, freedom, brotherhood and peace which we wish to instil into American youth. Coming down to our own period great progress has been made in the elementary and secondary sshools. In most states education is compulsory between the ages of seven and fourteen, and in some states up to sixteen or eighteen. A child can start school at the age of five, obtain the best of training from well-educated teach¬ ers, advance into high school, and graduate without any, save ordinary expenses. Many states have large, splendidly equipped agricultural, normal, and vocational schools which their own pupils may attend without tuition. Thus an American boy of to-day can avail himself of a full professional training if he so desires and if he has the will to try to maintain a fair record. Children of tc-day are given every op¬ portunity money and experience can afford. Great thought and consideration are given to their comfort and well-being. In most places they have none of the countless difficulties to obtain education with which their parents were obliged to contend. As our forefathers were continually stressing the ideal of equality for all men, so to-day our educators are continually stressing the ideal of equality of educa¬ tional opportunity for all children. They want the rural child to have as good an opportunity in life as the urban child. They want the little East-side orphan to have as fair an educational advantage as the Fifth Avenue millionaire’s son. They say that all the youth of to-day and of the future must have an equal chance to devel¬ op and to use theiir individual talents. According to the Constitution they have an undeniable right to freedom and equal¬ ity. Only by the acquisition and wise use of this right may we ever hope to attain the goal of a true democratic nation. Edu¬ cation and democracy are very closely related. Herbert Hoover has said “And democracy is a basis of human relations far deeper than the form of government. It is not only a form of government and an ideal that all men are equal before the law; it is also an ideal of equal opportunity. Not only must we give each new genera¬ tion this spirit of democracy, but we must give to them a fundamental contribution, to an equality of opportunity through edu¬ cational equipment.” However, if we should be content with merely giving equal educational opportun¬ ity, wonderful as that would be in itself, we should fall short of our great duty and responsibility. To teach and learn solely for the purpose of acquiring a mass of facts is not the aim of modern education. We must build character and we must instil ideals. Since the beginning of the Great War, the school has had to take over much of the work which was formerly done by the parents in the home. Mothers who have entered business and professional life, have placed a heavy responsibility on the school and upon its faculties. To-day in¬ spirational and spiritual help must come, to a large extent, from the teacher. In order to be able to meet the still greater respon¬ sibility which the future is almost sure to bring, we must give our present school child the best instruction and training of which we are capable. We can do this only by untiring and un¬ selfish effort on the part of all. The great¬ est evil which threatens the school to-day is politics. We must keep factional feeling and discontent out of the classroom in order best to live up to our heritage. The lives of children are too valuable to ruin simply to satisfy the unwarranted hatred or selfish aspirations of a politician. THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 27 If the citizens of the United States are willing to try to live up to the ideals set for them by their forefathers, if they are willing to work faithfully and untiringly to perfect their schools and help their children, they will finally have not only a heritage of ideals but of realities, and ' they will see the result of their labors in a cleaner, nobler, and more intelligent cit¬ izenry. Parents, Friends, and Members of the Faculty:— Through four years you have helped .us to make ourselves good and worthy citizens. We appreciate your interest and kindness in making it possible for us to obtain an education. Undergraduates:— In behalf of the Class of 1926 I extend sincere thanks to you for your co-operation in all our undertakings. Classmates:— We meet together to-night for the last time as undergraduates, for to-morrow we shall have joined the Alumni. We have worked together and played together, and in spite of the difficulties w r e have had many happy moments which we will live over often in the future. Until now our course has been planned for us but from to-night we shall take di¬ verse pathways and will live the lives we make for ourselves. Let us keep ever in our lives to noble deeds rather than to mere our lives to noble deeds rather than mere words. Elizabeth Jackson, ’26. -(o)- GRADUATION PROGRAM. 1. Invocation Rev. F. K.

Almost anybody enjoys a respite from the hard studies of High School, but when my father told me we were going to Wash¬ ington for a week, my joy was complete. It was then the 16th of March and we were to leave the following day, so I had very little time to prepare, but I was ready to start on the 17th before noon. We left at half past eleven and reached Hartford at noon where we had to have the radiator of our car repaired. At one o’clock we were on our way again. Since the traffic was light we made good time until we reached New Haven where we had to stop on busi¬ ness. We remained there for about a half hour and then proceeded on our way. We arrived at Fort Lee Ferry, New York, at 8 o clock. There we had to wait for a ferry to take us across the river to Jersey City where we stopped to rest and eat. Now w ' e could see the Woolworth building which was lighted up, nd other tall buildings which were also very beautifully illumi¬ nated. W’e reached Philadelphia at eleven o’clock. As one enters the city, he sees a large bou evard which is divided into four sec¬ tions. Between the sections there is a row of trees and electric lights. We drove into the city and stopped at the Hotel Lafayette, where we stayed for the night. In the morning we wanted to see the navy yard, but the lack of time prevented us, for we were to reach Washington that day. It was a very enjoyable ride between Phila¬ delphia and Baltimore, but after we left Baltimore we ran into a very hard snow storm which lasted about two hours and then changed to rain. This made our trip much slower than we had planned. At noon we stopped to eat, just ninety miles from W ashington. The rain ceased and the sun came out, so we made good time into Mount Ranier which is just one mile out of Wash¬ ington. Here we stopped at my uncle’s, where we were going to stay on our trip. Since it was so late in the afternoon, we did not go down to the city until evening. Then we went to the largest theatre in the city. The following day I went to see the Washington mounment and Lincoln me¬ morial. The monument stands on a hill just outside of the city limit. As the eleva¬ tor was out of order I had to walk to the top. It w r as a very tii esome climb, but I did not mind it, for there were medals and other interesting things on the way up. At the top of the monument there are four windows, one on each side of the monu¬ ment. Through these one can see the city of Washington, Lincoln Memorial, Arlington Cemetery, the Capitol, the Congressional Library, Potomac Park and other interest¬ ing places. I did not stay long for it was almost noon and I wanted to see the Lincoln Memorial. Between the memorial and the monument there is a large pool which is filled with water for skating in the winter. As one stands on the edge of the pool, he can see the reflection of the me¬ morial at one end, and the monument at the other. I then walked over to the me¬ morial which is a large square building with thirty-three large pillars around it, each one representing a state that was in the Union at the time of Lincoln’s administration. It is open on all sides, but facing the main entrance there is a large statue of Lincoln sitting in a chair. On the walls around the memorial are engraved the speeches of Lin¬ coln. After I looked around the memorial and read the speeches, I walked into the city where I met my unc!e and went to din¬ ner. After dinner I went down to his office which is in the building of the National Federation of Postal Clerks. I looked over this building and then w ' ent over to see the Congressional Library which is the most beautiful building in Washington. In this building are the original copies of the Declaration of Independence and the Con- 32 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD stitution. These are in a case of gold with a bullet-proof cover. In the middle of the building there is a large dome and under this are kept the books. From there I went over to the Senate building where I met a few of the Senators. Senator LaFollette gave me a card to the reserved gallei y in thee Capitol. Then I went over to the Representative building where I met the Representative from Con¬ necticut. After I had looked around this building I went to my uncle’s house for the night. We were going to Mount Ver¬ non the next day, which happened to be Saturday, for the house is closed on Sun¬ day. In the morning we went over the Arlington Cemetery where we saw the mast and the anchor of the battleship, Maine. We also saw the Memorial which was built on the plan of an Amphitheatre and is made of white marble. We then visited the tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the home of General Lee. That evening we drove through Potomac Park and down to the wharf where we saw the President’s ship, the “Mayflower.” From there we drove down to the Ford theatre and the house in which Lincoln died. Then we drove over Lion Bridge and went to see the home of General Sheridan. The latter is a very large concrete house with a large veranda. His wife lives there now. In front of the house there is a circle and in the center is a statue of Sheridan mount¬ ed on a horse. The ' statue represents him as he was bowing a farewell to his wife, when he left to join the Union army. From there we went to see the home of Mary Roberts Rinehart which is a very beautiful place, situated on California avenue. It is surrounded by a large flower garden. On the way home we drove around the grounds of the old soldiers’ home. Beside the road¬ way there are cannons from the oldest to the latest models. On the grounds there are swimming pools, a golf course, and other sports. The next day we went down to the Cap¬ itol where we saw the Senate in session. They were debating on the strike at Passaic, New Jersey. From there we went to Statuary Hall where each state has a right to place two statues of its greatest men. We then visited the Representative gallery but as there was no meeting we did not stay. From the Capitol we went to Bolling Aviation Field where we saw the latest models of the airplane, seaplane, and bal¬ loon. We then went to see the Museum which contains the Roosevelt collection of animals of the jungles. There were also models of a salt and of a coal mine. When we came out of the mine it was late so we went up to the house. We started for home, the following day, and arrived the 23rd, having made the trip from Washing¬ ton in a day and a half.
