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.

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.

THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 26 To Frank Karp and Louis Camp I have an important message to de¬ liver. The message is that we want you to stop calling the present Senior class down for having your books missing after every fourth period. Re¬ member that they are not the only ones in that period. Marion Kobos, I advise you to stick with the Windsor Locks Scouts instead of enrolling with the Campfire Giris of Windsor, because you are not eligible to compete with your own Scouts. Mary Botasso, when you become a sophomore and take your mid¬ year exams I advise you to stop weeping over them because you did not receive the marks that you deserved. Don’t forget, Mary, that you do not belong to the faculty. Tony Coly, the next time you are going to beat time for your orches¬ tra when they play “Sing Song Girl,’’ I advise you to strike the drum as loud as you can so that you can be heard. Now, Freshmen, don’t take this advice too seriously, but be just as jolly and content as Carmen Ferrara. To regain your past happiness, just remember this: “Dear little Freshmen, don’t you cry, You’ll be seniors bye and bye.” Thaddeus Zimowski, ’31. ADVICE TO GRADUATES. Have you noticed how melancholy, thoughtful, dejected, and de¬ pressed the Class of 1932 has been for the past month or so? Well, it is all caused by the burden of having to give scholarly advice to the class that is graduating from our halls of learning to-morrow night. They need so much of it the trouble is to find out that which they need the most, for we could never take time to give all that is needed. 1 hus, after much deliberation I have decided on the following:— Thomas Dillon: We advLse you to get mussed up the next time you “play” football and not look as though you had just stepped out ot a band- box. Katherine Kane: We wonder what there is about the night ail that attracts you, Katherine? When you go walking in the evening be sure to dress warmly for you might catch cold and have to stay in and so miss your evening walks. Nicholas Maltese: When there are any pictures around, we advise you to look before you leap. They’re breakable you know. Carmen Ferrara: We advise you, Carmen, not to use that vocabulaiy of yours in the presence of any people, other than college graduates. e might not understand you.
