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.

ADVICE TO GRADUATES advice hints. e w ish to thank the noble Seniors for giving us their generous so willingly and we feel that we, too, can offer them a few helpful David Logan—VVe advise you to learn how to control your temper in the future: for you know, Dave, your employer may not overlook it as your high school friends have. 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.

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

THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 27 Frank Merrigan—We suggest that you stop trying to date Catherine. You know her answer is always Curt. Jennie Saruta—Don’t let that inferiority complex get the best of you. Just walk along with your head high in the air and be oblivious of every one else. Joseph Barberi—Why the special hair cut, Bootsie? Is it because of the depression, the style, or is it a time saver? We wish to advise you as a whole to continue your splendid work with the same sense of cooperation and determination as you have during your high school days, and never let defeat take the place of success. June Wheeler, ’36. CLASS GIFTS It has been customary for the graduating class to present a small token to each of its members to remind them of the happy days gone by. These are given in friendly spirit and to be enjoyed. We hope that each one will accept them in this manner. Rollande Paquin—Rollande, I have a pair of walking shoes for you. We know how much you enjoy walking and we hope you will continue your daily exercise, for walking is good for the figure, you know. Mary Colturi—Mary, here is a ball of tatting cotton. I am sure you will be able to fill in your spare moments doing something useful with this gift. Madelyn Taravella—Madelyn, you and Carrie have been such good friends, that I have a picture of her for you. I hope you will value it as highly as you have her comb which you have always borrowed. Teddy Pohorylo—Ted, I have a baby’s rattle for you. You played this part so expertly this last year that 1 must reward you for the enter¬ tainment we received. Adele Wolnick—Dell, here is a replica of James Cagney’s airplane. I am sure you will find it more comfortable and much faster than the Model-T Ford which you have been riding in recently. Margaret Balbi—For you, Margaret, I have a compact. I heard that on your recent trip to Springfield you lost yours. You must keep up your appearance with so many of the opposite sex strolling around. David Logan—David, here is a contract from the National Broad¬ casting Company. Their representative heard you sing in our play, and he has recommended you highly as a radio crooner; but this contract calls for a team. Why not make it a team of Wallace Logan? Malvina Draghi—Malvina, I heard that your pet dog, Brownie was sold and you mourned his loss greatly; so 1 shall present you with his successor, Brownie the Second, whom I hope you will cherish as much as you did the other one. Mary Field, ’35.
