THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 9 Mary: Do you really mean that ? Helen: Of course I do. Mary: Well, it does not seem strange to me, at all. Rose: Has Howard White given his lecture on “How to Become a Big Man.” Mary: Is he giving lectures? Helen: Yes, I heard him in Boston. He was very good, too. Mary: I think we’ve mentioned every one but neither one of you has told me what you are doing. Rose: I forgot all about it. Helen, I hear on Broadway no one has achieved as much fame as you have since Ann Pennington. Helen: You exaggerate, Rose. I’m just another chorus girl. I saw you in your latest play “The Whistling Cat” on the opening night and I thought you were wonderful in the part. Rose: Now that we have discussed everybody, I think we had better hurry so we can take the next train, Helen. Helen: Goodby, Mary. Mary: Goodby, Rose and Helen. Rose: Goodby, Mary. Helen Durnin, ' 33 Rose Preli, ’33 Mary Sluzinski, ’33 ADVICE TO UNDERGRADUATES. (Juniors) “There’s something wrong with the best of us.” A group of outstanding, dignified, well-educated seniors, looking out for the interest of the Junior Class, for that class must fill the gap left by the graduation of this illustrious class, have chosen me to impart to that class some well needed advice. Juniors, I appreciate the opportunity of being able to converse with you in this manner, for I teel that you need this advice very badly, much to the regret of this unconquerable class. Gertrude Gallagher—We appreciate the great interest you took in the past baseball season, but we advise you not to take so much interest in the games scheduled, as it arouses suspicion. Louis Camp—We advise you to take a course in “Physical Develop¬ ment” before ever attempting to take on the Freshmen. There are some rather big fellows in that class, you know. George Strogoff and Aldo Sartirana—You two had better show more deference toward your elders. Mary Bottasso—It is nice to be everyone’s friend, Mary. We advise you to try it. Then we are sure you will enjoy your Senior year in Windsor Locks High School.

8 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD Rose: Not really? Well, Waldo Pinney is taking Clark Giable’s place in the filming of “The Bashful Lover.” Helen: Last winter I met Ray Conroy at the Cotton Club in New York where he is a gigolo. Mary: Just about a week ago Anna Shykula won a $1,000 prize in a dancing marathon held at the Nut Club in Poquonock. Rose: Eleanor Wheeler now Dean of a Young Women’s Finishing School told me that Tommy Connolly was manufacturing thermometers. You remember he was always rescuing thermometers at school. Helen: I hear that Don Cameron is Dean of a Select Young Ladies’ School out in Indiana. I wonder if Don has changed any? Mary: Have you heard that Willie Field is Ed. Wynn’s successor as the Perfect Fool in Radio Broadcasting? Rose: No, but traveling in the South last winter we met Francis Cooney, who now owns a strawberry plantation. Now he can have all the strawberries he wants for shortcake. I’m terribly surprised that he doesn’t own a dairy, too. Then he would have the cream for his cake. Helen: Have either of you read Margaret Griffin’s new book, “How to Increase Your Speed When Conversing With Others”? It is said to be very instructive. Mary: Did you remember Andy Molyn ? Well, he is busily engaged now, building a bungalow for two. Rose: That must mean something. Do you ever hear or see any¬ thing of Mary Gandolfi ? Helen: She called on me while she was in New York last year and she told me she was going on a tour of the world as a companion to Made¬ line Tasillo who is at the head of a large concern manufacturing delivery trucks. Mary: I received a copy of the “Pathfinder,” last week and what a start I received when I read that Burton Wadsworth was the Editor-in- Chief. But that isn’t all, Benny Soboleski is giving instructions on “How to Overcome Bashfulness” in this paper. Helen: I stopped at the Doll Shop to have my hair waved and the proprietor turned out to be our old classmate Milly Raccone. She said that she created the coiffures and Mary Griffin gave instructions on how to keep that School Girl Complexion. Rose: While I was coming up on the train this morning, I bought a paper and the headlines read, “Edward Babiarz, wins Noble Pr ize for Scientific Experiments with X-Ray.” Mary: We have some very famous classmates. Benjamin Goldfarb is a member of the new clothing firm of Gldfarb, Maloney, and Schmidt of Rainbow . Rose: Now isn’t that just like Benny? W r hat is there to the rumor that Max Wolnick is opening a boarding school for undernourished children of Hoboken. New Jersey? Helen: I heard that, too, but it wasn’t authentic. I also learned that Anthony TaraveMa is considered the greatest lexicographer since Johnson.

10 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD John Molyn—If you want to follow in your brother’s footsteps, seek the captaincy of next year’s baseball team. You know, John, it is only a cap¬ tain that receives the admiration you so much desire. Earl Barberi—We hear you are out to break all records. It is a hard task. But we advise you to stick to it, because phonographs are going out of style and the number of records is decreasing. Frederick O’Neil—Keep up the good work you started as a reporter. The Windsor Locks Journal is looking for one of your ability. We advise you to qualify for the position. John Ferrara—We advise you to catch up with yourself, so that in the future you won’t be in Room 3 in body only, but in mind, too. Teddy Pesci—Learn the latest song out when you wish to put music to practice. It’s not “Crush Me,” but “Try a Little Tenderness.” John Marconi—We advise you to come to the school socials to prac¬ tice dancing instead of going to Hayden Station. Adele Piaggi—We advise you to drop that commanding tone in your voice when you are speaking to your elders. It is bad for your reputation. If these bits of advice are heeded, I am sure that in the future you will be a class worth mentioning. Do not forget that this advice was given by that most sagacious class of ’33 and if you follow this advic e, it will be following in their worthy footsteps. Robert Taravella, ’33. (Sophomores) After having spent four years at this institution of learning it is proper that we should attempt to give advice to the following persons in order to uphold the traditions and the good standing of the school. The first culprit that has aroused our righteous indignation is that “human dynamo,” Virginia Mangerotti. Although very small of stature Virginia seems quite capable of taking care of herself in any verbal argu¬ ment. We advise Virginia to refrain from cultivating this habit as it may make many enemies. Another person who has aroused our curiosity is that “Shiek of Shiek3,” alias Frank Karp. We advise Frank to spend more time in front of the mirror so that some day he may see himself in his true light. Robert Magleora should try to remember that it is a good deal better to have other people think well of you than to be too conceited. To Clarence Mather, Joseph Barberi, and Raymond English, we ad¬ vise a little more sociability toward the opposite sex. Even girls are human, you know, although there are quite a few examples that belie this statement. David Logan—We advise you to buy a package of gum and keep chewing it. Then even “Will Rogers” will hold his head in shame when you start wisecracking.
