THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 23 Wallace White: No one can afford to miss class just on account of the lack of a pencil. In the future try to have a supply of them always on hand, for remember what happened last year Wallace. Mae Tracy: We advise you to find someone to lavish your coquettish glances upon next year as you have done during the second period this year. Charles Field: The distance from your house to the school is not very long, so there is no excuse for your missing school. William Sheehan and Silvio Bianchi: Girls are not quite as dangerous as you think they are. Become better acquainted, and you will find this out for yourselves. Mary Chapman: When you are a senior, you will want to be known, so try to make a little more noise, in order that you may become a real senior. John Sepanski: It is very rude to be loud, so soften your laughter just a little when entering room seven. Johnson says, “Advice is seldom welcome. Those who need it most, like it least.” So we know how you feel about the advice that you have been given. In spite of all your faults, we shall always hold you in high esteem and every one of you will always have a dear spot in our hearts. Marie McKenna, ’31. (Sophomores) As the annual procedure is to confer admonishments unto you I will endeavor to be as lenient as possible. T have been chosen by heartless classmates to undertake the impossible task of imparting constructive advice and embedding the same into the cynical, plastic mind s of the Sopho¬ more class. Your idiosyncrasies are so pronounced, even to the casual eye, that I shall not even attempt to analyze and inform you of ycur faults as a collective mass, but will treat you as individuals, to the greatest extent of my observations. The first to be informed of his faults is “Abe” Goldfarb, who has become famous within our halls of learning as an academic parasite, who is continually preying upon the intellects of his contemporaries. I advise you, Benjamin, to become more intel’ectually independent. T must compliment Russell Bacon upon his sizzling career in the high school. He is a conscientious worker, doing everything up crisp and brown. His ability to be always on the jump must be due to his sputtering activity and his lean physique, which would be impossible for a person of greater avoirdupois. Mary Dowd should cultivate her oratorical powers by acquiring ease and poise in her deliveries, as she is endowed with the necessary qual¬ ities for becoming proficient in the act of extemporaneous speech.

22 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD ADVICE TO UNDERGRADUATES. (Juniors) “Every man, however wise, needs the advice of some sagacious friend in the affairs of life.” Juniors, you should consider yourself fortunate in having not only one person but a whole class to give you much needed advice. Barbara McLeod: In this depression the town cannot afford to buy new stairs so be careful not to break any more. Frank Devlin: Frank, when are going to learn that suspenders should be worn inside of a sweater? Anna Colapietro: Please remember, Anna, that it has been proved without doubt that red and pink go well together. Thomas Cooney: Don’t use too much water to obtain that patent- leather gloss to your hair, for you know, Tom, that you have been told that water turns the hair gray. Ida Giacopassi: We advise you not to be so harsh in your judgment of city folks, for often times they do have manners. Angelo Colapietro: Angelo, next year try to raise a flower garden, because it would be terrible if your supply should run short. Nelson Fallon: Nelson, are you ever going to recognize good dancing when you see it? There happened to be dancing in the Senior play although you thought it to be merely walking. Irene Bellingeri: It is very impolite to be curious, so try to outgrow the habit. Aldo Scibaldi: Isn’t it much nicer to mingle with the opposite sex than to be bashful? Keep it up, Aldo, you’re doing well. Sidney Balf: We advise you to buy a bicycle, for you know, Sidney, that the long walk that you have isn’t good for your health. Mary Andrus: If you expect to take French next year you will have to become a little more cold-blooded than you are now. The murderers in French literature shouldn’t take such an effect on you. Francis Callanan: If you expect to be a senior and to be as dignified as our boys, you will have to acquire a masculine voice. Doris Barberie: Keep up the good work as a nurse maid, Doris, but be sure that you set good examples for the children. Anthony Usanis: I know that almost every girl in high school would enjoy a ride in your car once in a while, so next year try to be a little more generous with it.

24 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD I advise Burton Wadsworth to hereafter be less verbally antago¬ nistic. If he persists in indulging in his present practices, he will become a man without a friend. Benny Soboleski should invest in a new curling iron and give his sister his old one. He should be more practical in its application and curl every hair. After due consideration I have arrived at the ultimate conclusion that Shirley Jackson takes her curricula activities too seriously and should relax her studious tension and coast through her remaining years on the face of the credits acquired in past studies. In concluding, I hope you will accept these friendly words of advice in the same attitude of mind that they are given, and remember, you will be endowed with the same privilege of tendering advice when you graduate. Curtis Saxton, ’31. (Freshmen) In order to preserve peace in Windsor Locks High we, the graduates, feel justified in giving the undergraduates advice that will aid them in their future school life. As upper classmen of this school we wish to advise you green, troublesome, and uncivilized Freshies to follow our example if you wish to reach the goal which you are striving for with any success. To the triumvirate: Lavon Girard, Adele Piaggi, and Marion Mc- Closkey, I advise that you stop winking a,t the male sex and pay more at¬ tention to your books. Philip Lombardi, the next time the school gives any performance we want you to buy a ticket instead of hanging around the doors as if you were one of the unemployed. I advise Bernice Malec and Mary Shykula to act in a sensible manner when they become dignified Seniors. When you reach your sophomore year, Earl Barberie and Johnny Marconi, I advise you to deliver your morning papers earlier so that you will hot be tardy so often for assembly. I congratulate you, Mopy Molyn, as a star player, but I advise you to take up elocution if you wish to succeed as a prominent baseball player. I advise Aldo Sartirani to settle down to business and not act like a jumping jack or a Barnum Bailey clown. George Strogoff and John Noga, if you are looking for any honors at the end of your Senior year, I advise you to follow the example of Nick Maltese. I think, Anna Gaudette, that if you keep up your dancing during recess periods, some day you may really learn to dance.
