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.
