THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 29 Glenn White—We have for you an automatic plow so that from now on you can devote your time to the opposite sex. Mary Molonski—We have a litle Chevrolet so that you and your friend may ride. Lily Catucci—Lily, here is a pair of marathon dancers. Now when you get tired of dancing, give these a chance. Philip Lombardi—We have an usher’s flashlight for you so that you can direct people to their places at the theatre and they will know that you are an usher and not just one of the audience. Sophie Usanis—Here is a First Aid Kit. From now on when you play with fire and get burned, it will not leave scars. Kathryn McKenna—I feel sorry to see you sitting on the hydrant so often.

Thus, not wanting any harm to come to you, 1 present you with this canoe so that you can keep off the bridge and still get across the river.

Joseph Sgorbati—Joe, because you are so fond of a game of cards, 1 present you with a pack. You have had luck in the past and I hope that these cards bring you more and better luck. Dorothy Cavanna—Dot, here is a pair of roller skates to make it easier for you to get to the bottom of Center Street hill.

THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 31 CLASS POEM Four years within its portals, Four years within its walls, We’ve worked and strived together In the dearest school of all. We’ve had our fun and frolic, Made friendships fond and true; We’ve had our happy hours With classmates loyal, too. Though school days now are finished And we go on from here Our hearts will always cherish Those memories ever dear. Four years tonight are ended And now we bid goodbye, To teachers and the happy hours We spent in Windsor Locks High. E. Sartirana, ’35.
