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.

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.
