THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 29 this, Juniors, as we should dislike very much to have our record spoiled. Article II. To the Sophomores, we hope that some day they may be dignified Seniors. Article III. To those known as “The Freshies,” adjustable desks, so that when you are perspiring over your lessons, as we did, you will at least have the consolation of being able to reach the desks. Article IV. To the Faculty, our sympathy in their sorrow that there will never be another class like ours. Article V. To the following lucky individuals, we will the various superior talents and possessions of our class: To Anna Coly, Katherine Kane’s coquetry. We thought you might need this, Anna, as your present interests in the High School will soon be leaving. To Burton Wadsworth, Andy Pleva’s entire Fresh Air Taxi Cab Company, provided he goes around every morning and brings all the teachers to school. To Catherine Sgorbati, Pauline Preli’s technique in letting her hair grow. Now, Catherine, you can put the time on your studies that you formerly put on your hair, and we are sure if you do, you will have all A’s on your report card. To Nelson Fallon, Louis Marconi’s ability to talk himself out of embarrassing situations. Louis was very proud of this trait, so use it wisely and keep it safely guarded. To Frankie Devlin, Francis Colli’s good nature. We are sure, Frankie, if you accept this little gift, no one will take advantage of your good nature. To Lavon Girard, Mary Wheeler’s book, “Ten reasons why 1 stay at home nights.” This is a very interesting book, Lavon; and wili prove helpful to you we are sure. To Shirle y Jackson, Carmen Ferrara’s ability at being rough while playing basketball. Make use of this, Shirley, and you will have no trouble in winning all the games you play this coming year. To William Sfreddo, the remains of Toddy Zimowski’s type¬ writer, with the request that he remove them before any of the pieces are lost. To Kathleen Kelsey, Catherine Crowley’s ability to be seen and not heard. Kathleen, this will do you much good if you only use it, but you will have to change a great deal. To Angelo Coly, George Cannon’s power to charm the women. To Wallace White, Curtis Saxton’s extensive vocabulary.

Now, Myrtice, you won’t fight in the future about getting one for your coal yard. Thomas Dillon—1 am giving you this song book, I hope that you will go away from everyone and learn to sing. After you have practised by yourself, then you can come back to school and sing a solo for the school entertainment. Marie McKenna—1 am presenting you with this book on poetry. Now, Marie, when a teacher or anyone else tells you to learn a poem, you can choose one much shorter than you did this year. Robert Connors—1 have decided to give you a pair of side¬ boards. Now I know you will wear them often, so that you will look as distinguished as you did in our play. Katherine Sasali—I am giving you this book entitled, “How to grow tall,” by William Sfreddo. Now 1 hope you will take his advice and grow a little.

To Raymond Conroy, the knickers Joe Ferrari wore in the Senior Play. Now, Ray, you can attract the Sophomore girls with¬ out any trouble. To Doris Barberie, Marie McKenna’s “Speed”. We notice that you have trouble sometimes in getting about in a hurry so Marie wants to help you out as she is so speedy. To Lucy Sfreddo, Kathryn Sasali’s shyness in regard to the opposite sex. Now, Lucy, you won’t be in trouble so much on account of too many boy friends. To Russell Bacon, Robert Connor’s technique in teasing girls and getting away with it. To Irene Bellingeri, I, Myrtice Loftus, leave my ability at being caught every time I do something I shouldn’t. Now you will enjoy classes more because there’s no fun in doing things unless you get caught. Having thus bequeathed all our earthly possessions to the above groups and individuals, we do hereby sign and seal this last will and testament on this fifteenth day of June, A. D. 1931.

We hope that the students of the Windsor Locks High School will benefit by this gift. We urge that the graduating classes of the future follow our example. There can be no gift that will be so valuable to the school as a donation to the High School Library. George Cannon, ’31. ACCEPTANCE OF THE GIFT We all agree, I am sure, that a library equipped with good books is an essential part of a high school. Our high school library though small, has been slightly increased this year. This was made possible by the card party which was given by the Senior Class in
