CLASS WILL We, the class of 1952, of Coe-Brown Northwood Academy, town of Northwood, county of Rockingham, state of New Hampshire, being of sound mind (we hope), memory, and understanding, do hereby make, ordain, pub- lish, and declare this to be our Last Will and Testament and do dispose of all our worldly goods in the following manner: I, Mary Bateman, leave my position as President of the F. H. A. to Mary Lovely and hope that next year's club will be successful. I, Jeannette Fortin, leave my engagement ring to Beedy Cofferin in hopes that Cecil will take the hint. I. Paul Guptill, leave my heart-winning dimples to Clarence Bateman and hope they bring him as much luck as they have me. According to the New York State Boxing Commission, I, Philip Guptill, leave my HARD left hook to Tate O’Neal. Just thought it might come in handy, Tate. I, Joan Landers, leave my height to Joyce Merrill. Maybe you will be as tall as Buddy then, Joyce. I, Barbara Robinson, leave my studious habits to Everett Brown and hope he will make it through the next few years. Hope they will be useful. I, David Newell, leave my ability to win cross country races to Cliff Bane, hoping to improve next year’s team. I, Douglas Wallace, leave my attraction to Freshman girls to any future Senior who will enjoy it as much as I did. I. Leonard Welch, leave my ability to get along with the teachers to any- one who needs it. I. Willis Rollins, leave my passion for car trunks to Nonie Holmes. Carry on the good work, Nonie. I, Alvah Yeaton, leave my way with the women to Dick Ball. There is a lot more to living than raising mink, Dick. I, Roy Wentworth, leave my Chevie to anyone who thinks they can make it run. We, Millie Scribner and Lois Hutchins, leave our mischievous ways and ability to get along with all the teachers at all times to Shirley Folsom and Eleanor Jacques, but for your own good, girls, CONTROL IT! We. the Sophisticated Seniors, leave to Miss Dennett, a new and better- behaved World Problems Class—WE HOPE . . . All the rest, residue and remainder of our possessions, real, personal, and of every kind and nature, wherever situated and found, we give and devise to and unto all students of Coe-Brown Northwood Academy. And we hereby appoint Gabby Hayes as sole executor of this, our Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking any wills which we heretofore have made. In witness whereof, we have hereunto set our hands and affixed our seal this tenth day of June, 1952. Signed, Cuddy, Emmy, Beedy, Millie Scribner, Lois Hutchins. 12

CLASS PROPHECY Detroit. Michigan June 24, 1962 Dfar Paul, I h ve fin -illy been able to locate you and all the rest of my old classmates of Coe-Brown. I’ve thought many a time of those dear old days we spent there. Although there were many times when I wondered if the end would ever come. In her last letter, my mother sent me this little newspaper clipping from the Northwcol Daily. It was written by a census taker who knocked at each of the 1°52 graduates’ doors to find out what each were doing. The clipping reads as follows: CLASS OF 1952 COE-BROWN NORTHWOOD ACADEMY Norihwocd. May 1, 1962 Mary Bateman, the star athlete of the class, is cow head of the New Hamp- shire 4-H Recreation Division. She specializes in wrestling and won her first match last month. Barbara Robinson is private secretary to the Governor. I understand that she docs mere running of the state than he does and is planning to campaign for the office herself next term. Joan Landers is in some remote region of South Africa, nursing the na- tives. She reports the mosquitoes are terribly thick. Jeannette Fortin is married and living in Nottingham. She is also secre- tary to the President of Montgomery Ward in Dover, N. H. Lois Hutchins is married and expecting her fourth set of twins.

He has just recently married a Spanish woman and reports they are having language difficulties. Willis Rollins is an engineer and is still working on the new road from the South Pole to the North Pole. Last we heard of him he was just rounding the point of New Caledonia. Alvah Yeaton, of the U. S. Navy, has just been promoted to Admiral of the Sixth Fleet. In one of his speeches before the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Yeaton admitted that he owed his rise to fame to his strict adherence to his motto: A girl in every port.” Jennette Yeaton is married to Bob Hcmeon, who is now in his sixteenth year of Navy life. Jennette, incidentally, owns and operates her own beauty shop in Pittsfield. N. H. She specializes in the new ”Mutt-Cut.” Douglas Wallace is married to Jean Tuttle and is stationed at Portsmouth, N. H.. with the U. S. Navy. His new plans for a flying submarine are being put into effect. Roy Wentworth now owns the largest Chevrolet garage in New England. He just sold his millionth Chevie to Mr. Clifford Ellsworth. Phil Guptill, recently retired from the U. S. Marines, is now President of the New York State Boxing Commission.
