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

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. Bar.—Well, I certainly didn’t find time to do my interviewing did I but that can wait. 1 enjoyed talking over old times.

26 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD some day you may be the leading model at the Kresge Establishment. And last, but never least, our Jolly Juniors: Anna Mae Ferrara—We think it would be of help to you if you would take a course in home cooking, for as Steve is a farmer, we are sure that he would not like your method of scrubbing meat with soap. Francis Carniglia—Chicken, we advise you to continue the publica¬ tion of the “OWL”. For you may some day be the “IT IS SAID THAT” editor of the Journal. June Wheeler—We suggest that you keep off the back roads to Broad Brook. There are many muddy roads out in the farm district, and a handsome individual isn’t always on hand for a ride home. Joseph McKenna—We suggest that you keep off the streets at night. J2S?Sfi,S,» u may think that y° u are Walter Winchell, you are only MUSHIE” to us. J John Gorka—Johnny, what will you do next vear during third period when that certain blonde will be missing? We suggest that you ask for a photo of this “blonde Venus.” Ellen McKenna—We advise you to rent a room in one of the down town de luxe apartments, so that you will be nearer to Main Street. . .... h this bit of friendly and kindly advise, we hope that your years Windsor Locks High will be as well spent and interesting as those of this illustrious and unsurpassed group of Seniors.

Lorraine Jenkins—Your piano playing is always enjoyable but must you sing, Lorraine? “O wvi? S f P P ?w ber ir Jo ?.’, a r e you always whistling the old song, O What A Pal Was Mary?” Is it the tune or the title? Viiginnia Mangaiotti We have observed that it has taken you just three years to grow up, but we wonder how long it will take Lily and Betty Field to follow your example. Felix Pohorylo—We think you ought to get rid of your superior air and treat us more as your equal. ‘ 1 W allace l pon the discovery of an A on your report card in do not express your gratitude to your professors in the manner you i teacher one day in high school.
