othe! WALL ced Delon coed: of Wye (ER of 1950 Be it recalled to mind, (with much mental torment) that we, the one class to be “graduated” from Howe High in the year nineteen hundred and fifty, being of miraculously sound mind, and weak bodies, (after four years of constant struggle) not knowing what the future holds, do hereby proclaim this document as our last will and testament; (written by us as our last responsible act). After the payment of all expenses, (if only in “I.0.U.’s”), we be- queath and devise as follows: We, the Class of “1950,” leave our co-operating nature to the jun- iors. We, the Class of “1950,” leave a million dollars’ worth of goodwill to the following senior classes. We, the Class of ‘1950,’ leave to our principal, Mr. Locke, many grateful “thank-you’s” for his paternal interests. FIRST: I, Natalie Riecks, leave type-class with another run in my stocking. oue SECOND: I, Paul Hennessey, leave my notebooks to Harold owle. THIRD: I, Theodore Noble, leave my subscription to “Esquire” magazine to Thomas Dunne. FOURTH: I, Wendell Sylvester, leave my sense of humor to Don- ald Wentworth. FIFTH: I, John Thursby, leave my vain efforts to learn basketball to Mr. Federico. SIXTH: I, Pauline Surette, leave my study periods to John Baral- di, that he may assure himself of passing English IV. SEVENTH: I, Paul Sullivan, leave with no regrets. EIGHTH: J, Jean Sullivan, leave my bashfulness to Marguerite Baraldi. NINTH: I, Bill Shinkwin, leave Howe High to all the future sen- ior classes. TENTH: I, Marjorie Moran, leave my knowledge of collecting ads (?) to Bob Baroni. ELEVENTH: I, Katherine Sapienza, leave my chemistry book to Elizabeth Bowers. TWELFTH: I, Marjorie Richards, leave my love for English to Betty Hatzberger. THIRTEENTH: I, Mae Ellen Salisbury, leave my good times at Howe High to my sister, Sylvia. FOURTEENTH: I, Geraldine Musgrave, leave with the hope that my brother will follow in four years. FIFTEENTH: I, Mary Rabidou, leave my ability to solve chem- istry equations to Peggy Rumrill. SIXTEENTH: I, Patricia Murray, leave my “ham”’ acting ability to my frustrated sister. SEVENTEENTH: I, Edward Mitchell, leave all my English as- signments to some unsuspecting junior. EIGHTEENTH: I, Joan Scott, leave the detention room rendez- vous to Lorne Thomas. NINETEENTH: I, Barbara Schmelzer, leave my sophistication to Lorraine Angell. TWENTIETH: I, Joan Rival, leave by the O’Hara my teeth. TWENTY-FIRST: I, Charles Delarue, leave my seat in room 21 to next year’s “Mr. Unfortunate.”
