THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 15 Andrew Molyn—Moby, you have had so little experience catching baseballs that I must give you a book entitled, “First Instructions on How to Be a Catcher.” Max Wolnick—I know you want to reduce Max, so here’s Clara Bow’s reducing diet by which she lost thirty pounds in twenty days. Helen Durnin—Helen, you seem to be the only one that is interest¬ ed in my home town, Warehouse Point, so I present you with a map of the town. It might help when you get lost some dark night, for you know Warehouse Point is quite a Jarge town when you come to think of it. Benny Soboleski, ’33 Francis Cooney—We know of your efforts to learn to be a good swimmer, so, in order that you will not have to waste energy in practice, I am giving you this bathing suit guaranteed not to sink. Donald Cameron—We hear that you intend to become a star basket¬ ball player. Therefore, we present you with this book entitled, “Co¬ operation is Essential to Success.” Howard White—We present you with this pair of stilts. Now, Howard, we know you will not feel embarrassed when you are dancing with a tall girl. Waldo Pinney—We present you with this rattle. We hope that you will carry this with you when you go to parties so you will not go to sleep. Anthony Taravella—We give you a typewriter. You have spent so much time in the typing room that we would not like to have you get out of practice. We hope it will be convenient for you to use this at home. Anna Shykula—Your vo ; ce is so gentle that it cannot always be heard. So. to prevent you from having to repeat all the time, we give you this megaphone. Russell Bacon—Stories have floated about that you have been promenading up on Clay Hill. We. hereby, give you a permit which will protect you from those wild “ACES” who are in that vicinity. All the gifts have been presented and we hope that they were ac¬ cepted in the spirit in which we meant them to be. We advise you not to feel hurt or to take the gifts in too serious a manner, because we only de¬ sire them to serve as memories of happy high school days. Eleanor Wheeler, ’33.

14 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD Millie Raccone—On a recent trip to New York you claimed that you could not see how high the buildings were because the sun shone in your eyes. Here is a sun visor. Now, when you visit the metropolis, you may see how tall the buildings are. Magna Anderson—I understand that during your childhood you greatly enjoyed playing with dolls. So, I can think of no more appropriate gift than a doll. Russell Bacon, ’33. Tom Connolly—Tom, T hope that this car will prove to be more convenient for you than your recent purchase. Of course, I am not giving you nine tires with it and it did not cost $1.75, but I think it will take you where you want to go. Burton Wadsworth—It is quite a walk from your home to Fairview street, Burton, so I am giving you this aeroplane to enable you to get there sooner. I hope you will have an opportunity to use it in the future. Eleanor Wheeler—Here is a book entitled, “How to Smile.” Eleanor, your face has had such a serious look lately that I am afraid you are de¬ pressing everybody. To cure this I am giving you this book, and I want you to read it until you have acquired that p.retty smile which everyone admires. Mary Sluzinski—Mary, you have lovely hair and it looks pretty the way you wear it but I think it is taking up too much of your time. Thus I am giving you these bobby pins to help you keep your locks in place. Now, I think you will be able to set your mind on your work. Shirley Jackson—Shirley I have heard that this book, “Moby Dick,” is very interesting, and I think you will like it. In fact, I know you will like it. If the story does not appeal to you, I am sure the title will. Benny Soboleski—I have noticed, Benny, that you no longer polish your nails. Thus I thought it probably was another result of the depression so I am giving you this supply which I think will last for a little while. Mary Gandolfi—Now. Mary, when he has been a bad boy and his father won’t let him take the car, you can Hake this one. I hope you will enjoy it as much as the other one. Catherine Sgorbati, ’33. Mary Griffin—Here’s a jar of cold cream t o preserve that well-known school-girl complexion you have. Mary Dowd—Mary, you always seem to show great authority, so I present you with a rolling-pin “for future use.” William Field—Willy, you always seem to be in trouble so I present you with a “good luck piece.” Here’s luck.
