Mad.—Last week, as I entered the Logan Beauty Parlor on Dazzle Avenue in Calif., whom did I see but Carrie Matroni receiving a Shirley Temple Bob from Monsieur Logan himself! Jen.—While travelling through Port Barbarry, I visited the Fix- Em-l T p Custome Shoppe, where to my astonishment 1 found that Mary Molonski was proprietress. Her costumes are designed by Kathryn McKenna and made by Virginia Mangiarotti and Mary Sartori. Bar.—Mary Raccone is the foreign correspondent for the Sees Nothing, Tells All newspaper of Wapping. Mad.—1 am glad that something has come of Lily Catucci’s love for dancing. She has a contract for dancing the mixture of a rumba, con¬ tinental, harlem, and peabody in Agawam. Car.—Girls, have you heard about Ruth Wallace’s newstand in Broad Brook? She has a chain of these throughout the state and along with her papers she sells records and copies of her own songs. These have become so popular that she has a contract with the Song Recording Cor¬ poration at Scitico. Jen.—Margaret Balbi has succeeded the Angelo Sisters of Hartford and is specializing in Military Tap. What has become of Glenn White? Bar.—Oh, Glenn is carrying out the wishes of his High School days and is the Physical Director at West Point. Bootsie Barberi is also further- ing himself in his line and is no longer Asst. Scout Master but is President of the Bo.v Scouts of America and is at present attending the Jamboree in Sweden. What does Sophie Usanis do now? Mad. Sophie has established a school for those boys who are inter¬ ested in the development of rocket travelling, up on West Street in W. L to say nothing of having first mortgage on the West Street Shack. Car.—Our old high school team has entered the National League under the management of Joe Barberi, the Home Run King, and no w holds first place in the league. Jen.—Barney Osowecki is the leader of the Accordion Girls in this hotel. He has made quite a reputation for himself and the performance which he gave last week in Hazardville was attended by the best of society in that section. Even the famous teacher of vocal lessons, Mary Colturi, was there. She practically never appears in public and the reporters and cameramen jumped at the chance to interview her. Bar.—Didn’t any of our classmates choose a career of home¬ making? Mad.—Why no, but Dorothy Cavanna took up interior decorating and is well known for her artistic work. Car.—We have mentioned everyone but Frances Sluzinski. You re¬ member Fran. She was always interested in Latin and is now teaching it along with French in a school in Windsor.

THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 23 Bar.—Here comes Madame Jennie now. Jen.—Carolyn Matroni! Barbara! Madelyn, too! Car.—We were so surprised to hear that Barbara had an appoint¬ ment to interview you. Jen.—Oh, so Barbara is to be my interviewer! Car.—Did you notice Joseph Sgorbati at the desk as you came in? lie owns the Redville Hotel. Bar.—And Teddy Pohorylo is the house detective.

Car.—Felix Pohorylo is appearing at the Spider Web Casino where he is directing a floor show of his “Butterfly Dancing Girls.” He will soon appear on the stage in Poquonock starred as “Pohorylo and his Butterflies.” Mad.—I was so surprised when I heard that Carmen Quagliaroli was teaching a stenography Class at Hayden Station. They tell me she has some bright pupils, due to her skill in teaching. Bar.—Did you know that Kathryn Wenis is teaching Plain Dancing out on South Center Street in Windsor Locks? Jen.—She is!

Her theme song is “Have You Ever Been Lonely?” Mad.—Reading over the paper, I see that our ex-president of ’35, Frank Merrigan, is now a famous aviator at Bugsville. Jen.—Did you see Mary Field at the Olympics? She certainly set a record by handling her motorcycle so neatly. It was a most thrilling sight to see her climb that steep hill and reach the top without effort. And she seemed so nonchalant about it. Car.—Elizabeth Field is the visiting nurse at East Granby. I hear she is doing remarkable work and the town is planning to buy her a new Ford for travelling through the Farm Districts. Bar.—At the Exposition in W. H. P., Anna Giacopassi is demon¬ strating how to gain height by wearing 5-inch heels.

Besides, she is also teaching piano lessons to Lanny Ross’ four children. This adds to her popularity, of course. Car.—I recently received a letter from Mildred Sfreddo requesting the honor of my presence at the annual W. H. P. Exposition where she is

THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 25 Car.—Maddy, we will have to hurry if you don’t want to be late for your broadcast. You will go on in about 20 minutes. Don’t forget to come to my apartment tomorrow night. I am going to have as many of our classmates there as is possible. Jen.—I had better hurry too, if I want to catch the plane. I shall be back tomorrow, Barbara, and perhaps we will find time to talk business. Mad.—I’m glad we all happened to meet this afternoon and I can hardly wait to see some of our classmates. We will have fun talking over our initiating party of ’35. Barbara Cooney, 35, Caroline Matroni, ’35, Jennie Saruta, ’35, Madeline Taravella. ’35. ADVICE TO UNDERGRADUATES As we have reached the peak of great superiority and intelligence, we feel that a few parting words of advice will be appreciated by our clumsy, silly, unscholarly undergraduates. Never in the history of Windsor Locks High School has there been a group so active, studious, sophisticated, and infallible, as the present graduates. To our stupid Freshmen: Mae Kelsey—While riding your stream line bicycle, we advise you to keep your mind on the riding and not on the opposite sex that are pass¬ ing by. John Sheriden—Buddy, we advise you to grow up. You should take lessons on how to be a gentlemen, rather than a chisler. Dorothy Massaro—We suggest that you keep away from the ball players while they are in training. Don’t keep any one of them out too late, for you may interfere with his playing the next day. Clarence Rozelle—Junior, continue your gracefulness in dancing. With the Seniors gone, you may get a chance to ask the faculty to dance at the next social. To our narrow-minded, misinterpreting “Sophs”: Dorothy Micha and Josephine Acquotta—We would like to know if you girls have first mortgage on the Senior Dressing Room? We advise you girls to find a better parking place to gossip about the upper classmen. Dorothy Colli, Florence Firtion, Ruth Ivrauss and Mary Tracy—Or for short, “THE GIGGLING QUARTET”—We advise you girls to be as serious in school as you are with the Senior boys; then too, we wouldn’t take the boys too seriously. Raphael Boyle—Why the sudden interest in Warehouse Point? Are the Windsor Locks girls getting sick of your cowboy slang? A few lessons from Madame Rhode of Hayden Station on “How to flatter the females” might help to conquer the local girls. Jane Jepson—We compliment you on your artistic method of posing in the recent fashion show. We suggest that you continue in this line, for
