12 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD ADVICE TO GRADUATES. Although we, the undergraduates of Windsor Locks High School are inferior to the noble Seniors, we should like to give some of our humble advice. Russell Bacon: We advise you not to be as “speedy” with your girl friends as you are with your car. Edward Babiarz: You seem to have as good an eye for Stella as she has in playing basketball. Donald Cameron: When saying good-night to a certain girl, be more careful not to stand in the light. Raymond Conroy: We advise you while dancing with Mary Gandolfi to watch your steps instead of whispering love secrets. Burton Wadsworth: With your ability as a public speaker, we fear that “The Speaker of the House” will sometime be one of the unemployed. Max Wolnick: We advise you to keep up your splendid appetite so that you can retain your boyish figure without much effort. Valeria Cooney: After graduation, you will have more leisure time to sit on your porch and “chat” with the neighbor across the street. Helen Durnin: We suggest that some of your attention be centered in Windsor Locks, in the future, and not make Warehouse Point the sole attraction. Thomas Connolly: Well, Tommy, if Mary Dowd is always as talk¬ ative as she was in the “Automatic Butler”, we render you all of our sym¬ pathy. Andrew Molyn: We wonder if it is their common interest—basket¬ ball, which keeps Shirley and Andrew so attentive? Waldo Pinney: We think that a good occupation for Waldo when he graduates would be a Western Union boy because this would put to good use his skill in riding a bicycle. Robert Taravella: We advise you not to laugh so long and heartily if it is going to make you so tired and weary for you must keep physically fit. Howard White: We are wondering why you attend the theatre so often. Is it your idea of taking a correspondence course in acting? Anthony Taravella: We suggest that you follow up your “official score keeping” and perhaps some day you will be scofe-keeper for the big leagues. Catherine Sgorbati: We advise you to keep up your excellent French and make it your favorite ambition. Madeline Tasillo: We are all certain that if you keep up your good work, your musical career will become a great success. Amelia Raccone: In your paper route there must be some one who interests you, for at times you are inclined to be very erratic. Mary Sluzinski: We suggest that you give your undivided attention to the teacher of the history class instead of a certain pupil. We hope, that with this helpful advice from the .Juniors, you will be able to profit and go through life successfully. Adele Piaggi, ’34.

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

THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 13 CLASS GIFTS. It is customary at this time of the year to give each member in the graduating class a small gift to recall, in years to come, pleasant memories and associations of high school life. These gifts are given in a spirit of good-will and we hope everyone will be pleased with what he receives. Madeline Tassillo—The members of our class thank you for the splendid music you have given us in the past four years. Will you accept this piano as a token of our appreciation? Margaret Griffin—You seem to get to school just as the last bell is ringing. A watch will enable you to know whether to hurry or not. Valeria Cooney—This is to be used for shorthand notes. Keep them because you may need them some day. Angelina Daddabbo—Of the eight girls who sold Candy and pop-corn at our Senior play this year, you did the best work carrying the basket around. This basket may be handy for the purpose of selling candy some other time. Benjamin Goldfarb—Here is some slick’um so that your hair will always look well groomed. Catherine Sgorbati—You are rather short and in order to make yourself look taller you may need to stand on this chair. Magna Anderson, ’33. Rose Preli—For you, Rose, I have the book entitled “How to Over¬ come Bashfulness.” With this book and quite a little practice you hnd Pinney should be able to carry out the romantic climax that was intended for the Senior Play. Robert Taravella—Bobbie, for you I have a certificate which when presented at the “Detective Agency” will entitle you to the renowned and much sought after position of Chief of Detectives, stationed in the munici¬ pality of Windsor Locks. This is a great responsibility, but I am sure we can depend on you because you carried out to perfection the part of detec¬ tive in the Senior Play. Edward Barbiarz—What you need, Eddie, is a car instead of a brick yard truck. I’ll admit that you may get to places in a truck, but I think your friends would prefer a roadster. So, here it is. The new “Romantic,” suitable for one hand driving, equipped with parking lights and everything else which makes true love run smoother. Ray Conroy—Ray, 1 noticed during the past year that the joint ownership of a comb rrfade an excellent excuse for you and Mary to meet at least four times daily. Here is a comb of which you are sole owner. Now in the future you’ll have to have another reason for these so-called necessary meetings.
