Bill Fowler and Gordon Stovold leave their blonde hair and height to anyone who is man enough to stagger around beneath it. Marjorie Ford smiles to Evelyn Kitson to carry her pleasantness through- out our school. Hank Rideout and Don Stevens graciously bow out of their places at the Strand Theatre and give them to anyone else who is rather shy in bright lights. Bob Milk leaves a familiar hole in the line to Paul Maxham who hopes to fill it. Pat Murphy’s assignments in English are up for auction. (Do we hear $25?- Sold American!) Clara Nott leaves her knot to Franny Nott in hopes that she will untan- gle the knot. (Not bad!) Bud Lockwood sheds light on the subject by donating her sunny dispo- sition to all Juniors. (Smile on!) Catherine Little’s wit will descend on Jeanne Thomas who will doubtless live up to it. Barbara Stevenson’s many talents remain in the locker room for Tony Magazu. Kenney Mcllvin rids himself of his irresistible passion for redheads and donates it to Bob Pryor. Pat Smith passes on her Helena Rubinstein kit to Maudie McLaughlin. Grace and Isabel Cavanaugh bequeath their sweet and charming sis- terly ways to Arleen and Kathleen Harris. Ken “Sugar Daddy’’ Curran leaves his date book to Irving “Bazo’’ Bestick. Charlie Brown works best under pressure. Although Sam Scott has no “inspiration” we’ll put the pressure on him. Janet Parker turns her car over to Jane Cahill to try to equal her mileage. Dorothy Appleyard leaves her flair for smooth clothes ignited in Jane Curry. Anne Powers leaves her feather bob to Pat Carr. Barbara Roberts passes tips on stage technique to Sady Hawkins. The music of Hollis Black “swings” to Jack Barrett. Jimmie “Always Has a Pencil” Eisenhauer gives one of his extra pencils to Jimmie McCormack who in turn hands it to Coach Hawkes. Hazel Davis warms over a pan of puns for Jackie Bates. GoGo DeShong leaves her slow tenacity to Miss “I’ll get those books back somehow” Strout. Art Lake outgrows a zoot suit for Bob McClellan if Bob can get into a fourteen inch peg. Lil Pierce, captain of the hockey squad, leaves her honorary position (right tackle) on the football team to the lucky one that Coach Hawkes may choose next year. Don “Anchor” Quimby passes his basketball successes on to Hugh Opie. Bob Smart and Gerald Post, who always had a delivery to make in Braintree Highlands will be delivering the goods again next year — we hope. Ruthie Jackson is to be the recipient of some of Shirley Howland’s down to earth common sense. H 28 I

THE CLASS WILL We, the class of nineteen jorty-th’ree, Being of sound mind and keen mentality, Do hereby bequeath unto thee, the class of forty four. Our talents, tastes, and tasks galore.

Maggie Collier’s sweet, slow way is given to Janice Burpee to waltz the corridors. Norman “Goody” Goodwin leaves his domestic idea of staying at home nights (to listen to recordings) to Lois Kelley. Bob Day donates his red chariot to anyone who has a drag with the gas rationing board. Paul Curran leaves that “dead” cemetery job of his to John Quadros. (Keep it quiet, please.)

Mary “Windy” Gorman leaves her carefully mimeographed copies of “What Every Young Secretary Should Know” for distribution by Miss Evans. Mary Jane Carty leaves that worried expression (for which she has just cause) to sunny Mildred Earney to be filed where it is sure to get lost. Anne Campbell leaves her chaperones (necessary guests of the hockey team) to next year’s squad to be used when referees are scarce. (Economical?) Connie Cheverie hands her position as wing to Rita McNabb. (Hockey — not fowl.) {27 )

Marilyn Thurlow and Shirley Nelson are vacating their places in the Glee Club for Janice Young and Jean Collier. Helen Davis, Ruth Burke, Grace Cocozella, and Theresa lamele, our popular whiz kids leave their intelligence to some undiscovered Juniors.

Louie DeGregorio and Frank Harris have sports jackets — but they won’t part with them. And in a last burning fervor of generosity, we bestow upon Mr. Jordan, Miss Welch, Mr. Murphy, Mr. Perry, and all our teachers who have been such a help to us here in Braintree High School, our grateful appreciation and many good wishes. Our class sponsor. Miss “Aunt Alice” Daughraty, wants absolutely nothing from us, so we set aside April 23 as “THANK MISS DAUGHRATY MUTELY” Day, make out a check for $5,000.66, slip the check and a box of candy under her door, and expressly direct that our executors are not to be responsible or liable for or charged with any loss or depreciation that may arise from any- thing forming part of the trust created hereby. In witness whereof we, the said class of nineteen hundred and forty- three, have to this our last will and testament set our hand and seal this seven- teenth day of November A. D. one thousand nine hundred and forty-two. Gloria DeShong Hazel Davis Robert Bewley , Lance McGill j 29 }
