THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 19 Lorraine Jenkins—We advise you to bring onions to school, so that when you cry because someone has taken your books, no one will know you really mean it. Mildred Sfreddo—We congratulate you on the way you vamped the boys into buying Junior Prom tickets. Keep it up and next year Memorial hall will be too small for Senior dances. Lily Catucci and Mary Molonski—One Mae West is enough in the world, and we would suggest that you spend more time on studies and less time imitating her. Carolyn Matroni—We think you had better find a new place to talk with a certain newsboy if you want him to hold his job. Sophia Usanis—We advise you to keep up your athletics and in a few years you will be just a mere shadow. With this highly instructive advice so generously given by the Senior Class I now leave you, hoping you will continue to be a model to other classes as we have been in the past. Frederick O’Neil, ’34. (To the Sophomores) Since my unquestionable position as a studious, sophisticated, and infallible member of the unsurpassed Senior Cla ss enables me to impart to the silly,’clumsy, unschol ' arly Sophomores a bit of constructive criticism, I now take this opportunity to advise you. George O’Callahan—We advise you to bring down that grass seed that you promised a certain individual about a year ago. He has haunted us all the year and he will no doubt pester the future Seniors. Frances Ludwin—We advise you not to be so rough while playing basketball or else there will be no one to play with in future years. John Gorka—We think you ought to buy a muffler and put it on that whistle of yours. The neighbors will thank us for this, I’m sure. Ellen McKenna—We warn you not to interfere with the delivery of Uncle Sam’s mail, and to put more time on your school work; for Ellen, you know it is a serious offense to hold up the mail. Francis Carniglia—We suggest that it would be better Francis, if you stayed at home nights and did your studies, instead of lingering around Marconi’s news stand every evening. James Cummings—Don’t you think it would be better, James, if you weren’t quite so boisterous? Remember, children should be seen but not heard. Anna Mae Ferrara—I hope that next year you will not have the misfortune of being in a class composed mostly of boys. This situation seemed to bother you a great deal, but Anna Mae, we have to live. Now in conclusion, I hope that all of you friendly spirit as it is given. take this advice in the same Earl Barberi, ’34.

18 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD varied. A graduate of an ordinary high school with average intelligence can qualify for the many phases of advertising. For instance, if one can write expressively and clearly, a concern can use this gift of writing in magazine and newspaper advertising. An artistically minded person will be able to make sketches, illustrations, or pictures of the articles advertised. One who has ability as a salesman can fill the position of selling a com¬ pany’s products by his fluent, convincing and effective salestalk. Moreover, good solicitors are needed to get the ads. There are many who through their personality, wit, or business tact, can convince a business man to give them his ads. Persons interested in research work, can try for the staff of workers investigating for newer and better ways of advertising. A student who is adept in chemical science would be able to qualify for the staff of scien¬ tific investigators who study the product to be advertised and whose knowledge of science and history can better help to sell such products by revealing to the public how much purer or safer the goods are from those of former times. The rewards in advertising are satisfactory. The salary ranges from fifteen dollars a week to ten thousand dollars a year. Hence, advertis¬ ing is a godsend to a high school graduate with a limited knowledge, be¬ cause there are chances of great advancement in it, both in position and in salary. There are also many good correspondence courses in advertising which would enable one to increase his knowledge in this field. Therefore, the high school graduate or underclassman who is interested in English, in journalism, and in salesmanship, or who has had some experience on a school paper or on a newspaper staff, might seriously consider taking up advertising as a vocation. Thomas Paoletti, ’34. ADVICE TO UNDERGRADUATES. (To the Juniors) At this time of the year it is customary for the highly intelligent and sophisticated Senior Class to leave a few parting words of advice for the betterment of the students so that when they graduate they will be almost as intelligent as the class which is now ' graduating. First of all, let me give a little advice to the lowly Juniors. As a member of one of the most intelligent and illustrious classes that ever graduated from this high school, I feel that I have the right to advise you youngsters. Jennie Saruta and Katherine Wenis—We congratulate you on your ability to get rides home after school at night. Such concentration on your studies should make you first honor students next year. Frank Merrigan—We warn you to be more careful when working on your job over at the high school next year. Remember, Frank, pride comes before a fall, and the junior girls don’t want you to fall.

20 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD (To the Freshmen) It has been the custom for many years for the dignified Seniors to give advice to the petit Freshmen. We suggest that you change your present motto Know all, see little, do less,’’ to “Live and Learn” if you wish to succeed. Ruth Krauss—I advise you to step your laughing and talking in class. i ou know, Ruth, this has caused much trouble for the rest of the class. Andrew Gaudette—I warn you to use the study rooms for your class work instead of reading Love Stories. You know, Andy, iove is a great mystery. Jane Jepson—I advise you not to block the hali ' way when you are passing the candy to your classmates. You know, Jane, you should feed the Four Musketeers more regularly. Francis Matroni—I suggest that you read the Popular Science Mag¬ azine for further information, about your class work. This might lead you to be the New Mastra of Science. Robert McKenna, better known as “Pepper”—I advise you to put more effort on your studies than on basketball. Harold O’Neil—I warn you to come to school on time next year, if you wish to be as bright as your brother, “Punky.” Leander Arrighini or “Beef Steak”—It would be better if you did not pay too much attention to a certain Sen or girl. Do not pass any notes during classes, because this will lead you into trouble. V incent Dowd—I advise you to put more time on your studies than on the fair sex. John Barberi or “Fix”—I know that there are several of the fair sex in the Freshman class by the name of Mary, so why select an upper classman with the same name. Philip Griffin, better known as “Tuffy”—I advise you to buy a ticket the next time the school gives a performance, instead of walking like a po¬ liceman on his beat, in the hallway. In conclusion, I hope you will not take this advice given you too seriously, but accept it in the spirit it is given. Anthony Colapietro, ’34. ADVICE TO GRADUATES. On beha f of the undergraduates of the Windsor Locks Hieh School I wish to thank you for the excellent advice you have given us. We trust that we can profit by this advice, and in return we feel that it is cur duty to offer a few suggestions for your future welfare. John Ferrara, we hope that ycu have had enough sleep while in high school, so that you will not go to sleep w r hile shaving a emstomer in your future barber shop.
