HOWE HIGH YEARBOOK £ciii lOiU and JsAiamsmi ths ( IcL A Be it recalled to mind, although with difficulty, that we, the one and only class to be graduated from Howe High in the year nineteen hundred and forty-four, being of reasonably sound mind (after four years’ struggle), do make and proclaim this to be our last will and testament (unless we change our minds), hereby revoking all wills made by us. After payment made by us, if unavoidable, of our class dues, and all our just debts, we chop up and otherv ise hash our previously unique and undivided possessions which we are pleasantly aware have been the envy of all persons; as follows: FIRST : I, Alice Ballou, leave my unquenchable thirst after knowl- edge to Jean Ellis. SECOND : I, Shirley Barrett, leave my roller skates to Mr, Hawes to keep up with the delinquents. THIRD : I, Edith Bent, leave my part as heroine in the senior play to Alice Wilson, 1945 aspirant.
