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.
