O We. the class of 19441, hoping our school days are at an end, be- ing of below average minds, and above average bodies, and being under the influence of the happiness of imagining our school days are over, do hereby de'clare this to be our last will and testament. We leave the faculty in deep sorrow. for they know that the School will never be the same without our charming and dynamic personalities around: To the Iuniors we leave the hope of being able to attempt to ful- fill our shoes: To the Sophomores we leave the deep impression of how dig- nified Seniors should not act: To the Freshmen we leave the pleasure of knowing us, the lucky little children. I, Hector Arevalo, leave my noisy ways to the retiring little' so- phomore Penny Polos. I, Virginia Armendariz, leave my ability of getting out of class to any person who needs it. I, Clyde Arnold, leave my 5 o'clock shadow to Bobby Press. I, Marie Balderas, leave my height to Reba Burchett. I, Manuel Barboza, leave my position in the band to some fu- ture freshman. I, Ed Burdick, leave answering Uncle Sam's call. I, Mary Carroll, leave my position on the tennis team to Char- lene Mandrapa. I, Frances Dale, leave taking my sister with me. I, Mary Dou Dale, leave a clear field to any one that wants Woodrow. I, Arthur E. Dau, leave my acting ability to Roland Smith.

The sea air awakened my appetite and I headed for the nearest res- taurant. It was called Manuel's We Fix It You Eat It House. As I entered, Manuel Barboza shook my hand and said to hurry in as Mary Car- rol's next porformance was about to start. The waiter. Hector Arevalo. showed me to a table as the lights were dimmed and Mary, the bubble dar1Cef. slinked out. I notice'd with alarm that Charles Kral, seated next to me, was taking a sling shot from his pocket and rather than witness what was to follow I left. Who knows? Maybe he was going to shoot the waiter. I got my coat from Mary Lou Dale and she took the lock and chain off after I paid her a dollar. Theres a business for youl I bumped into Arthur E. Dau as I left. He's the famous hair dresser. you know. He told me that I must be sure to visit the Bronx zoo. Marta Luken, the gold fish keeper, and Armida Medina, the monkey trainer, have made a grand success of the business with the able assistance of Ralph Sa- maha, the lion feeder. As Arthur and I stood there talking I heard a noise. I turned and be- held Albert Olsen, the famous admiral who took Tokyo single handed in the last World War. Albert was so covered with medals that his assistant. Charlies Williams, had all he could do to hold him up. It was from Albert that I heard about Otilia Pina. She had become a sergeant in the WOOFS, and she became so attached to a poodle that she had stayed in after the war rather than leave him. After my comrades had gone, I sat down on a curb outside a book store to catch my breath. As I looked at the window, I noticed a sign, How to Raise Your Canary In 300 Easy Lessons, by Peggy Lopez. I bought a copy from the attendant Margaret Salazar as soon as I could get her attention away from the radio serial, Will Martha Ciet Her Man? played by Martha Roberts. I decided that it was time to go back to my hotel and spend a restful afternoon with my new book. As I walked toward the ferry, I saw a sign announcing the appearance of my old friend, Vickie Staggs, the lady wrestler. in the championship match that evening. She and her manager, Mary Thompson, had spent the winter in training for the difficult match. Much as I would like to have seen the fight, I had already planned to attend a lecture that evening by Doctor Pat Ray on Is Your Hair Na- turally Curly? It was getting late and my ferry was leaving, so I said adieu to fair old Coney and made a dash for my boat
