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.

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.

THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 11 We advise Sophie Usanis to uphold the following statement that “Children should be seen and not heard,’ ' even though their physical make¬ up may contradict this statement. The school should offer a prize to the person that uses the most makeup during the course of the school year. In my mind, Caroline Ma- troni, Jennie Saruta, and Katherine Wenis would be 8 to 5 favorites to win while Felix Pohorylo and Glenn White would be an even bet to finish in the first three. And now in conclusion, let me say this that the people that need advice seldom take it and consequently we hope that you will consider this fun-making in the same spirit that it is given. Andrew Molyn, ' 33. (Freshmen) From time immemorial it has been the custom for the dignified Seniors to give a bit of advice to the silly and playful Freshmen. Richard Blackburn—I advise you not to try to compete with a Senior boy for June’s affections. Frank Stanger—Frankie, I advise you to keep up your note writing. If you should stop writing notes to your friends, there would be a great depression in the writing paper industry. Anna May Ferrara—I advise you to expend more effort next year than you have this year to get to school on time so as not to set a bad ex¬ ample for next year’s Freshmen. Francis CarnigHa—I advise you to change your course next year, so that you will be able to get on the honor roll. Raymond Draghi—I advise you not to ride your bicycle down Spring street every day. You might w’ear the bicycle out. Why not walk down to see Frances once in a w’hile ? Mary Sales—I suggest that you pay more attention to your class work than to the opposit sex. Eugene Osikowicz—I advise you not to get so angry when your friends call you “Beauty.’’ You know, Eugene, very few T get so great a com¬ pliment, and instead of getting angry, you should cherish the remarks. Helen McCloskey—I think you ought not to get so excited when you see or hear the great radio and movie stars. Remember, Helen, you will never get a job as one of them. John Milesi—I warn you to spend some of your time at home, doing your studies, instead of spending it in the park. You know, John, you cannot always rely on your classmates to do your w r ork for you. James Karp and Joseph McKenna—I advise you to grow ' up and act as young men, not as babies. In conclusion, I hope that you will take this bit of advice in the same friendly spirit as it has been given. Edward Babiarz, ’33
