n THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD CLASS POEM You may dream of hidden treasure And gold beneath the sea, But naught compares to the pleasure Of being what you want to be. Now the time has come to part And to leave our high school dear, We hope w ' e’ve gained a splendid start As we embark on our career. We’ve learned to live, and lived to learn As we’ve studied the four years through; We’ve reached the crossroads, now the turn, So to each and all, adieu. George O’Callahan, ’36 A SONG OF FAREWELL Tune: “Lights Out” Farewell classmates, We must all be leaving you, Farewell classmates, And our friends and teachers, too. We’ve reached the hour of parting So let us say to you, Farewell classmates, We must bid a fond adieu. Now dear High School, We must say farewell to you, Four happy years That can never be renewed. We’ve reached the hour of parting And we must say to you, Farewell High School, And our friends and teachers, too. Helen McCloskey, ’36

THE HIGH SOHOOL HERALD 21 Angelina Antonacci—Angie, here is a book of cut-outs. Now, Angie, when you get nervous you can cut i aper dolls instead of tearing up pieces of paper as you used to do in History Class. Helen Jenkins—For you, Helen, we have a rope. Perhaps it would be better to skip rope instead of the fourth period. Margaret Moore—For you, Margaret, we have a package of Aunt Jemima’s pancake flour. We hope that you will continue making as de¬ licious pancakes as you did in the Senior Play. Lorraine Barberi—Lorraine, we have a nail file for you. Now you will not have to borrow one from the boys in History Class. Caroline Lombardi, ’36 GIFT TO THE SCHOOL As members of the retiring class we wish to show our gratitude by presenting the Athletic Association of Windsor Locks High School this sum of money. Small as it may be, we hope it will always keep present in vour minds pleasant memories of the Class of 1936. John Gorka, ’36 ACCEPTANCE OF GIFT As spokesman for the undergraduates, 1 take this opportunity! to thank the Class of 1936 for their generous gift to the Athletic Fund. The Athletic Association has long been hindered by insufficient funds and it will put this welcome donation to good use. William McCue, ’37 CLASS SONG Tune: Love’s Old Sweet Song Once in the dear old days of ’32 We entered high school our studies to renew. W ' hile through it all we had our share of fun, And now we hope you’ll say, well done, well done. So till the end when life’s dark shadows fall, School will be found the dearest dream of all. Just a song to tell you, We must say farewell To the school and teachers. That we love so well. Classmates altogether loyal, brave and true, Our four years have ended. Let’s say Adieu—to you our friends, Adieu. June Wheeler, ’36
