Earl Barberi, if you expect to get ahead in the future we warn you to respect your elders. We caution Adelse Piaggi to study the golden rule, “Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.” Thomas Paoletti, when riding by certain Junior girls, Thomas, re¬ member that they would appreciate a ride as well as a wave. We advise Kathleen Kelsey to move to Clay Hill. By doing this you will save yourself a great deal of walking, Kathleen. Aldo Sartirana, we warn you to take a course in dancing so that in the future you will be more than just a mere “figurehead.” John Molyn, we advise you not to limit your serenading to one par¬ ticular street, for you know, John, it arouses peoples’ suspicion.

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.
