Virginia Hansen leaves her rolling gait to Mary Jane Haberman. Evelyn and Bernie leave their ability to stand relentless in the face of all opposition. We of the study hall leave Miss Jensen a crew of coolies for her luncheon trays. Marie Hansen leaves her gift of the muses,” a poet’s soul, to Kate Charters. Marjorie Wetmorc leaves her ability to bend over backwards to President Truman, but we’re afraid he’ll need more than that for re-election. Jimmy Dinizio leaves the stirring zeal of his fiery leadership at class meetings. For under him his genius was rebuked as it is said Marc Antony’s was by Caesar.” And it is with a sense of genuine relief to us and to those remaining that finally, we leave. We, the undersigned, did affix our names to this unlawful document on the Eleventh Day of March in this year One Thousand Nine Hundred and Forty-eight, and we do solemnly declare that all provisions made herein arc null and void, and that any similarity between this document and any other thus fraud- ulently conceived, is purely impossible. The Senior Class.

Class Will WE of the senior class, living in this insane atomic age and obviously the only rational portion of civili- zation remaining, being only slightly seasick, repress the urge to disinherit all who survive us, and do here and now, without lawyer or lawful witnesses, describe this, our last will and testament. With all due reverence and ceremony we do leave this our worthy ship (the rats are always first, you know). The sacred stairs we leave in the hands of one who has devoted his undying efforts to guard them thus far against assault. The four empty chairs (Diane and Loretta are still occupying the other two) and the juke box at the Varsity Shop, together with Gus’ generous contributions, we leave to true music lovers with an active desire to hear the latest dirt.” Saber leaves his heart to Meta, trusting her not to break it. Paul can’t bear to leave his beloved Frieda. To the Snead twins and Lillian Finno, we leave the joys of the Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday seventh period study halls, knowing their ability to carry on the activities” of the seniors. Jimmy Lindsay leaves his athletic versatility to Johnny Brcesc, not that he needs it, but . . . The cast of our senior play leaves all the many good times back stage to the juniors. Lillian Satkoski leaves her marshal post to some future Kirsten Flagstadt. Lillian guarantees an ex- cellent lung development in one short year. Beth and Dan leave the endless ribbing they have endured every noon at the hands of the grade school, and Sir Walter leaves, our faith in chivalry restored. Betty leaves, at last, her chewing gum, protesting that after four years of hard usage it’s not really stale. Sally, Dot, Jean and Joan, the girls with the starry eyes, leave a scent of orange blossoms in the air. Priscilla leaves her talents, too numerous to name, to the junior class at large. ’Twill be enough for all. Etore refuses to leave his accordion or his musical enthusiasm, but Wes Burns and Cleveland Howard have enough of their own. We, the class, leave a whole bushel of clams” we’ve pulled, with an extra bushel of Pud’s. Joyce Young and Joyce Goldin leave their teachers in confusion. Mert and Anita leave their own sweet personalities, more precious than rubies.” Stonewall Jackson leaves his outstanding valor and his unsurpassed accomplishments on the field of battle, but never his beloved yacht. Nan Morris leaves her extra inches to the junior basketball varsity (girls’, that is) so they can discard their elevator shoes. Deb Burt leaves her Hi! Hi! Hi!” to Barbara McAslan. Irene, Tina and Ann leave their constant vigilance for the Peconicers to Kate, Alma, Gita and Thelma.
