But, of course, there are always exceptions to a rule. It would take more than a mere fence or a thousand fences, piled one on the other, to make some of the European countries good neighbors. At the least disturbance these countries rouse the whole world by the : r quarreling. Let us get down to the real purpose of fences. They are built to let the “other fellow” know just how far he can go and be welcome. Let him go a step farther and he is a transgressor, a law-breaker, an enemy. Good neighbors should have no need for physical barriers of barbed wire, stone, concrete. Good neighbors should realize they call themselves civilized, and civilized people do not need a glaring sign stuck in their faces saying, “This is as far as you may go.” A good neighbor respects the rights of others and his intelligence tells him when he is overstepping. For instance, our next door neighbor. Canada, has no fences nor military barriers to maintain good terms with the United States. The same is true of Mexico and the United States. These countries are good neighbors because they respect each other’s rights, recognize each other’s boundaries without benefit of bullets and bayonets. A fence is justified only amongst strangers—when people do not trust each other or when arguments and irritations arise because 1 neither knows just where the boundary is. The European countries, although hardly strangers, are continually squabbling over boundaries. With them, fences are necessary. Good fences, strong fences adequately guarded, kept in constant repair. Will this isolate the nations into jealous groups? No. The best part of the strong fence is the strong gate, standing invitingly open to friends and good neighbors, slammed shut in the face of enemies. If there must be a fence, its presence can be redeemed by its gate. Good fences and good neighbors. Good fences will net make good neighbors though they will keep them of! your property. Good neighbors will not make fences because you will be welcome on their property and they on yours. Julia Shykula, ’37 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 19 HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Miss Rosemary Loeser, a Boston University graduate, became a member of the faculty this year in the Commercial Department. This department had the following courses of study added: Bookkeeping II, tor Seniors; Typewriting I, for Sophomores; and Junior Business Train¬ ing, for Freshmen. Throughout the year, various speakers addressed the school in assembly. Educators and lecturers spoke to the students on a variety of helpful and interesting subjects. Among the speakers w r ere Dr. Bochman of the Hartford Y. M. C. A., who gave a talk on the subject, “How High Can You Climb; Dr. Rudman of Becker CoL ' ege spoke on “Happiness, By-Products of Work;” Mr. Charles F. Gaugh, Principal of Bay Path Institute, told of the advantages of higher education. Shortly after the opening of the fall term, the school was saddened by the death of Mr. Henry Hancock, who had been the school janitor for several years. About mid-year, the Athlet ' e Association made a drive to obtain funds. Their first attempt was the successful presentation of Mr. Ray¬ mond L. Cox, a skillful and entertaining magician from New York. Shortly after the Cox entertainment, a magazine contest was started. Several lucky students w ' ere rewarded with prizes for obtaining several orders. In March, the Commercial Department had a chance to show its ability in competition with other schools at Waterbury. Mrs. Richard Allen, the teacher of music, trained a group of boys and girls to take part in a state-wide music festival in May. William McCue, ’37 SENIOR CLASS NOTES Thirty-five Seniors were enrolled in the Senior Class on September 9, 1936. When Josephine Acquotta left school, this number was brought down to 34, but later six members of the Junior Class, who brought their ratings up to the Senior standards, made the number forty. On September 24, a class meeting was held and the following officers were chosen: President, Raphael Boyle; Vice-President, William McCue; Secretary, Andrew Gaudette; Treasurer, Mary Tracy. At a class meeting on September 29, it was voted that the class should sell Christmas Cards. This was our first step in earning money for our class treasury. Sandwich sales were planned during the year and they showed a reasonable profit in each case. THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 20 A Social was given in Memorial Hall, on November 6. Amojig the many interesting features of this social were a series of old-farfhioned dances executed by members of the class. It was .at this affair that the school orchestra made its first appearance. This social proved a financial and a social success for the Senior Class. A Social was also planned in¬ stead of a Mid-year Dance. It was given on January 21, in Memorial Hall. Refreshments were served and a gala time was had by everyone. On October 16, the following members were elected to the Athletic Council: Raphael Boyle, William McCue, Joseph Dursa, and Andrew Gaudette. The Seniors sponsored two moving picture entertainments during the year, and the attendance and enthusiasm was very satisfactory. The proceeds from these two movies aided the class a great deal. Many of the members of the Senior Class attended the musical convention at Waterbury, in May. The annual play, “Jane Eyre,” was presented by the Senior Class on April 14, at the Rialto Theatre. The play showed excellent interpretation and much hidden ability was displayed by the cast. A great deal of credit should be given to all members of the cast who gave a very faithful char¬ acterization of the roles they were playing. The beautiful costumes, the gypsy songs and dances, and the orchestra selections added much to the evening’s entertainment. Candy was sold as an added feature between acts. The play was presented before a very large and very appreciative audience. Thus the proceeds from the sale of candy proved most satis¬ factory. The Senior Class wish to take this opportunity to thank all mem¬ bers of the faculty, all pupils of the school, and the townspeople for en¬ abling them to make this enterprise such a success. At a recent class meeting the Senior Class voted to give their class parts at the banquet instead of having a special Class Night program. The banquet was held at the Hotel Highland in Springfield, on June 16. The following program was given at this banquet: Toastmaster --- Raphael Boyle Toast to W. L. H. S __ Andrew Gaudette To the Past (Class History) - James Price To the Present (Class Inventory) - William McCloskey To the Future (Prophecy) _ D. Usanis, A. Iskizak, J. Urbanowski To the Girls of ’37 (Class Gifts) --- L. True, J. Dursa To the Boys of ’37 (Class Gifts) __ J. Wolnick, I. Montagna To the Faculty __-.. Michael Gubala It was also voted at this meeting that caps and gowns would be worn at Commencement exercises on Thursday, June 17. The Senior Reception was held June 11. The last assembly was held June 19. Some of the features of this program were as follows: Gift to the School ....__ .Raphael Boyle Class Will .... Mae Kelsey Toast to Athletics .... Victor Malec Michael Gubala, ’37 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 21 JUNIOR CLASS NOTES v . , - The Junior Class, now composed of thirty-nine pupils, although its enrollment in September was forty-one, elected as its officers and repre¬ sentatives the following persons: John Colli, president; Irene Galipeau, vice-president; Jean Campanosi, secretary; Francis Gorka, treasurer; John Mazurek, Robert McKenna and Dorothy Maseru, representatives to the Athletic Council. Later meetings carried on the routine business of the Junior Class: Selection of rings, finance, Junior Prom, etc. Social successes under the direction of the class were the unique Christmas program presented under the direction of Miss Casinghino and Miss Loeser, the Junior Prom and the Junior Speaking contest. The Junior Prom was held May 28, at Memorial Hall, which was decorated as a modern garden. This event, with music by Art McKay, proved to be a success. On June 2, at St. Mary’s Hall, the annual Junior Essay Contest was held. The participants were Rita Furey, who spoke on ‘Educational Improve¬ ments;” Doris Jenkins whose topic was “Are You Superstitious?;” Irene Galipeau, “Public Health;” Valmore Gratton, “Reforestation;” Clarence Roszelle, “Maintaining Peace,” and Michael Molyn, “Our Debt to the Past.” Valmore Gratton and Doris Jenkins placed first and second ' , respectively. Entertainment was furnished by the Girls’ Glee Club and the Boys’ Double Quartet. The Junior Prom and School sandwich and cake sales, sponsored by the Junior Class, proved to be financial successes. The class wish to thank their schoolmates for the spirit and cooperation shown in all these under¬ takings. Rita Furey, ’38 SOPHOMORE CLASS NOTES The Sophomore Class began the year with thirty-two girls and twenty-four boys. During the course of the year, however, the following pupils left school: Regina Podgurski, Mildred Ridel, Helen Satori, Alice Taravella, Josephine Povlick, Yolanda Campaminosi, John Carnevale, Stanley Quaggin, Albert Roncari, Angeio Taravella and Charles Pyznar. In October, the class officers were elected: President, Ramon Mc- Cue; Vice-President, Fred Stanger; Treasurer, Kathleen Rabbett; Sec¬ retary, Margaret Rabbett; Luella Howdette chosen for the Athletic Com¬ mittee. 22 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD During the year the class presented two programs: One in honor of Washington and Lincoln, and the other in celebration of Easter. The presentation in memory of Washington and Lincoln was given February 19, with the following cast: Irene Daglio, Theresa Danyluk, Isabelle De- Bella, Eleanor Dowd, Angelina Farrari, Louise Howlette, Barbara Kane, Caroline Naie, Elizabeth Oates, Germaine Paquin, Kathleen Rabbett, Mar¬ garet Rabbett, Rena Sicbaldi, Lillian Snow, Mildred Wallace, and John Longo, as chairman. The presentation was directed by Miss Burke and Mrs. Allen. A program for Easter was presented with the following cast: Genevieve Ludwin, Genevieve Gubula, Marjorie McCann, Elsie Sales, Ber¬ nice Christian, Anna Christian, Heiene Sedar, Albert Roncari, Ralph McComb, Robert Merrigan, George Harvey, and Ramon McCue as chair¬ man. This program was directed by Miss Holbrook and Mrs. Allen. The Sophomore Class contributed weekly dues for the support of the Athletic Association. Kathleen Rabbett and Ramon McCue had charge of these dues. George Harvey, ’37 FRESHMAN NOTES On September 9, 1936, seventy-five Freshmen entered the Windsor Locks High School. The number of pupils enlisted were forty-one boys and thirty-four girls. In the course of the year, twelve boys and seven girls left the Freshman group. This left only fifty-six members in our class. In October, the class elections were held with results as follows: President, Francis Ciparelli; Vice-President, Ellen Root; Treasurer, James Colli; Secretary, Marion Holmes; Athletic Council, John Brown. During the year we attended several interesting and amusing class programs. Then in the spring, the Freshman class gave a Flag Day and Peace Day Program, which was enjoyed by all the students of the high school. We now leave our Freshman seats vacant for the newcomers, as we go ahead to become Sophomores. James Colli, ’40 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 23 ATHLETICS Due to inadequate equipment and the lack of a gymnasium the only sport the Windsor Locks High School could participate in was baseball. In the future, the High School may have more outside sports, as the new athletic field will be completed and more time can be given to the members of the school. In the early spring, the boys reported for pract ' ce under the super¬ vision of Coach Robert Jackson. The team consisted of the following— Seniors: Andrew Gaudette, Joseph Dursa, Guerino Pellegrini, James Price, Vincent Dowd and Victor Malec. Juniors: John Ma urek and Robert Mc¬ Kenna. Sophomores: William Pcgg John Sasali, William McKenna, Wil¬ liam Kuczynski and Fred Stanger. Freshmen: Albert Calsetta and Ches¬ ter McComb. To raise funds for baseball equipment the athletic association presented the magician, I.. Raymond Cox and his Wonder Workers, at the Rialto Theatre, and also sold magazines for the Curtis Publishing Company. April 20 Rockville.

We wish to express our deepest thanks for the opportunities for education that you have given us and for the co¬ operation that you have shown us n all our activities. We sincerely hope that our commencement exercises, dealing; with the value of education, will be enjoyable to all. THE VALUE OF TIIE EDUCATED MAN TO HIMSELF Today, it is not enough for a person to be willing to work, and to economize in order to reach his desired goal, for something much greater than mere attention to business is necessary to attain success. The man or the woman who will succeed in this age of advancement will be the on,e who is able to compete with others, who is energetic, alert, and willing to put his best efforts into all that he undertakes. Net all of us are gifted with an equal amount of intelligence, but ail of us have some quality that enables us to serve our fellowmen to the best of our abilities. That is why it is necessary for us to obtain as much education as possible, in order that we may learn from the experience of the past, the forces and qualities which have guided others on their journey toward success; for success is a journey, and it should never be considered a destination. Thus education helps the man to find his place in the world and to lift his share of the burdens of the world. Further¬ more, education (both cultural and vocational) enables man to live more peaceably with himself and with his fellow citizens. Lewis F. Lawes, famous criminologist and warden of Sing Sing Prison says: “Education must realize its proper place in the new scheme of things. We spend millions upon millions on our overcrowded reform and penal institutions. The veins of racketeering run through many chan¬ nels of every day life. Yet, we pay insufficient heed to the matter of training a large portion of our youth to earn a livelihood and be decent and useful citizens.” Therefore, education should tend to make a man more law-abiding, more broad-minded, more tolerant, more resourceful, and efficient enough to c ope with the problems of life, which he must conquer. Education should furnish him with the tods and the means of attacking these difficulties and overcoming them successfully, for as our motto states, “HE CONQUERS WHO PERSISTS ” Mary Tracy, ’37 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 25 THE VALUE OF THE EDUCATED MAN TO THE HOME The affairs of the household are of great importance to our national welfare. Many years ago home economics was not taught in schools as a subject of the curriculum, as the home trained its future homemakers, but today as the home has become lax in this typo of training so neces¬ sary to the happiness and well being of individuals, the school has to un¬ dertake the task. Only in recent years this subject has derveloped into a real science which is most practicable and helpful to the smooth running of a home. Many people hold the belief that home economics can be taught to pupils in elementary schools, but real problems in iiomemaking demand the judgment that a university can develop. Social problems and food research are home affairs that demand the best brains in the land. In a true sense, however, home economics is an examination of all lines of activities and then adapting whatever may be of use in the art of making a home. There are really five major divisions of home making: first, family relationship; second, family economics; third, the housia; fourth, food and nutrition; and fifth, clothing. Family relationship brings about the matter of regarding the responsibilities of a high school bey or girl. Child development and care and questions of parent education are an essential part of a well-rounded home economics course. Household budgeting comes under the division of family economics. Everyone should know about the costs erf living,standards of living, and planes of living because they are of vital interest. Furnishing a beautiful home means as much to domestic happiness as a well-cooked meal. Fi¬ nancing the home is also a pertinent subject. Another important factor in domestic life is the forming of good food habits. Every boy and every girl should be able to plan, buy, and prepare simple wholesome meals. Every citizen should know how much it costs to provide food for a family. Also every person should know a little about the selection of clothing. From the point erf view of general education, problems in home economics have served to encourage reflective thinking. Therefore, this subject is a worthy one, and the young man or young woman who knows something about homo, economi cs is a valuable member of his family. It should be taught in every school all over the United States, for it will make the domestic life of a community much happier than it has ever been. Thus we hope to see the day when Windsor Locks High School can have added to its course of study some of these valuable courses in Home Economics. Julia M. Wolnick, 37 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 26 THE VALUE OF THE EDUCATED MAN TO THE COMMUNITY What have educated people done for their communities in the past, and what are educated people doing for their communities in the present? Without hesitation we can safely answer that they have done a great deal. Educated people make good citizens, and as gootl citizens they perform many tasks that are of benefit to the community. What are some of the qualities of a good citizen? First, he is in¬ telligent. He learns what is going on in his community and is interested in its affairs. Second, he is open-minded. He sees the viewpoint of others and does not act in a stubborn, prejudiced fashion. Third, he is courageous. He stands up for what he believes is light. Fourth, he is honest. He keeps his word and anyone can trust and depend upon him. Fifth , he is unselfish. He is thoughtful of the rights of others. Sixth, he is coopera¬ tive, that is, he is a good companion and tries to get along with people. He gives as well as receives. These are only a few of the qualities an edu¬ cated person possesses. Even Abraham Lincoln had these qualities in mind w ' hen he said, “I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but 1 am bound to live up to what light I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right; stand with him while he is right and part with him when he goes wrong.” The character of any community is determined largely by the people who dwell in it. As a member of the community, an educated person is more interested in its welfare. He knows its problems and what sort of voters decide its elections. He helps a great deal to improve his com¬ munity, to keep it clean, and to give it a good name. He is more friendly and courteous. He takes pride in his community. He boasts about it, tries to beautify it, and stands up for it. Benjamin Franklin was such a citizen. He was always on the watch for ways in which to better the place in which he lived. He was the first person to put up a street lamp in front of his house to aid passers- by fn the night. He emplove d a man to keep the street clean in front of his home. He founded the first hospital and helped to establish the first tree library in the city. He also played a part in organizing a fire depart¬ ment, a police force, and an academy. Another example of such a citizen was the late John D. Rockefeller. “His religion was to advance, extend that kingdom here on earth, and to do it through the foundations which he established and the institutions which he generously supported.” In the past, educated people have done a great deal for your com¬ munity, and the educated people ctf today should continue with the good work which they have left unfinished. Horace Mann once wrote, “If ever there was a cause, if ever there can be a cause, worthy to be upheld by all of toil or sacrifice that the human heart can endure, it is the cause of education.” Stephania Andrik, ’37 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 27 THE VALUE OF THE EDUCATED MAN TO THE STATE At this time of year when the youth of our nation attracts the attention of the country by its commencement exercises we are brought to realize that millions of young people enter the portals- of our schools and colleges each year. Upon graduating from high school most students are fast approaching the age when the will have the opportunity of that great democratic privilege—the right to vote. How will they use this privilege when it is granted to them? Will they be able to exercise this right in a manner intelligent enough to preserve our Democracy? The answers to these questions depend upon the degree that education has fitted these yciung people for their places in the state. The primary aim of public education should be to enable a citizen to get such a clear understanding of public problems that he is able to act intelligently with respect to them; for the greatest enemy of democratic government is civic ignorance. A man need not think that he is doing his duty every two years if he votes, for real citizenship means he must have an understanding of the society in which he lives and a desire to im¬ prove it. Especially at a time like this when changes in our political system comie much faster than usual, we cannot afford to take chances in training our youth fn the ways of Democracy. In this w r orld today torn by the conflicting forces of Communism and Fascism, every citizen is in need of the type of education w r hich will give him an honest insight of the realities of Democracy showing him both the failures and the achievements of Democracy. He must also under¬ stand the machinery of other governments in order to realize the full value of his own government. Communist and Fascist schools do not hesitate to use their educa¬ tional system to indoctrinate their types of governments in the minds of children. Surely w’e cannot even attempt to make adherents of Democracy unless we teach thoroughly the structure of our government and its national history. In past periods of American History the common man has had much less power than he has today. Because of this he must be taught to live up to his obligations rather than let himself become of the rabble. If he is well trained, he will not become the slave of newspaper propaganda, to be influenqed by every demagogue to whom he listens. He will be able to judge from his early discussions and studies which political and economic philosophies he should accept. Since we understand, therefore, that the preservation of our Dem¬ ocratic Governmnt depends upon the creating of an intelligent responsi¬ ble citizenry, it is tow r ard that end that w r e must now make rapid strides. Along this read lies the way to peace and security. Delay in mov¬ ing in this direction may mean the decline and decay of American Democ¬ racy. As Horace Mann declared, “We need general intelligence and in¬ tegrity as w r e need our daily bread. A famine in the latter would not be more fatal to health and life, than a dearth in the former to political health and life. Misgovernment can more than cancel all the blessings of science and the bounties of Heaven.” Raphael Boyle, ’37 28 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD HORACE MANN, THE GREAT EDUCATOR It is necessary today, that everyone should have as fine an educa¬ tion as possible to enable him to survive in this complex civilization of ours. The world is depending on the future generation to solve some of the difficulties of the present. Thus, we must have educated men and women qualified to meet these puzzling problems of our times. No doubt, Horace Mann, whose hundredth anniversary we are cel¬ ebrating this year, is the most inspiring example in the history of American Education. Almost a century ago, he tried to impress upon the people of Massachusetts, the need for a free public school system, for with¬ out free education, many children of poor families we,uld be unable to re¬ ceive any schooling, and our nation could not exist half ignorant and half educated any more than it could exist “half free and naif slave.” As Horace Mann suffered from bad health, he realized the need for schoolhouses to be made livable and comfortable places. He tells the story of a visit one rainy day to a little schoolhcuse which had an enormous leak in the roof. He spoke jokingly to the teacher, asking if some of the children wouldn’t be drowned. She replied, however, that this would be impossible, because the floor leaked as badly as the ceiling, and as soon as the rain fell from the ceiling, it drained out through the floor. Today we are not confronted with conditions like that, but we should remember that school children should be housed in buildings which are comfortable and which provide the environment necessary to good habits of work. The results of Horace Mann’s untiring efforts in beihalf of education certainly prove the truth of the motto “He conquers who persists.” As a lawyer, Horace Mann came in contact with many criminals, who he learned had become criminals through the lack of education. Thus he tried to correct this condition. There is an interesting law in Iceland that says when a minor child commits a crime, the courts should find out whether or not the parents have given him a good education. If it is proved that they have not, then the child is acquitted, and the parents ai 4 e punished. Perhaps that law should apply to other countries too , for very often, children are taken out of school by their parents, or allowed to leave school unnecessarily to go to work. In addition it has been proved that education has a market value. Business men and manufacturers, who employ thousands of workmen, tell us that the work of the educated person is much superior to that of the uneducated person. Uneducated people find it more difficult to get po¬ sitions today, and the uneducated person is always among the first to lose his position. Bsides the educated person advances steadily in position antt earning power, while the uneducated jobholder can look back ten or fif¬ teen years, and if he is still holding the job at all, he will find that he has not advanced in his work in the same degree as the better educated individual. Thus, from the standpoint of dollars and cents, education pays. THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 29 It is the duty of parents to give their children as many educational advantages as possible. All parents want their children to succeed in the world, to hold good positions, to converse well, and tc talk and understand current events, and all this can be done only through a good educational background. Thus, fellow citizens, let us continue to give the young people of our town every educational advantage possible, for it is the chief means that they have of reaching safety, hcnor, and happiness. Let us strive to do this even if it means a sacrifice. Let us remember that one hundred years ago this July. Horace Mann gave up a promising law careen to become secretary of the Massachusetts State Board of Education. This decision was a turning point, not only in Mann’s life, but in the history of American education. In closing, let us recall the words from a great commencement address delivered by Horace Mann at Antioch College, in 1859. “Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity.” Flora Therrien, ' 37 VALEDICTORY THE VALUE OF TIIE EDUCATED MAN TO THE WORLD An educated man can live effectively, usefully, and comfortably with his fellow men, because he can understand his countrymen better and in understanding them he can cooperate more easily with them. In like manner, education tends to make nations more tolerant and peace-loving, for peace can only flourish in nations where intelligent analysis is em¬ ployed in the settlement of disputes and other problems which arise. Public opinion, however, is the deciding factor in many disputes between nations and the amount of knowledge and enlightenment indi¬ viduals have often gages their opinions on internation affairs. A man who studies and understands the customs, laws, and living conditions of other countries besides his own is more capable of giving an intelligent and fair-minded point of view on decisions in controversies which have to be judged by public opinion. The educated man not only presents his point of view, but he exerts influence enough to attract other people to his way of thinking. Thus modern education should prepare a man not only for effective, cooperative living with his fellow citizens, but it should include the study cf history, the interests, customs, and problems of other nations. To be sure, it is the duty of every citizen to understand thoroughly the laws of his own country and to try to enforce them. The educated man should have a similar understanding of the laws of other countries, for it is only through international understanding that we shall build an era of peace among nations. 30 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD A few i ' ines from a poem by Elwood Roberts show the feeling of all thinking people: “The blessed day is dawning. When war and strife shall end; When all mankind together Shall dwell, as friend to friend. That happy day, O Nations, Pray God He soon may send When all mankind together Shall dwell as friend to friend.” That day can only come when the nations learn that education is the only thing that will iead to settlement of disputes without destruction of lives and property; in other words education is the surest means to peace among nations. Therefore, Classmates, in saving farewell to you, I also want to say, let us each do our part in the drive to preserve world peace by sup¬ porting education for peace. Dorothy Micha, ’37 CLASS SONGS Tune: “My Melancholy Baby” Four long years together now are ending. We must meet again some day, And ou� ' future work we soon are starting. We shall climb and reach the top some day. All our friends and teachers we are leaving And those happy days at High, So. farewell, classmates. It’s success for him who waits. He conquers who persists, so now “Goodbye.” Tune: “Let Me Call You Sweetheart” Farewell, dearest classmates, we must say “adieu,” Our four years have ended Though they seemed just two. Thanks to friends and teachers. Those that saw us through. Farewell, dearest classmates, we must say adieu.” So we now are parting, from our high school dear, For our friends—-and teachers We now shed a tear. So at last we’re parting, Here’s a long, sad sigh. Farewell, dearest classmates, we must say “Goodbye.” Jeanne Urbanowski, ’37 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 31 till XTT T T T T TTTTTTTT C. D.
