CLASS WILL By RICHARD G. HORTON BE IT REMEMBERED that we, the graduating Class of 1942, of the Mansfield High School, in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, being of sound mind, and having completed three happy years of learning therein, but knowing the uncertainty of this life, do make this our last Will and Testament, hereby revoking all former wills of lesser classes at any time heretofore made. After the payment of our just debts to teachers and fellow students, we bequeath on this, the fifteenth day of June, our cares and worries to those who seem most worthy of them. We trust that the leg atees will accept them in the spirit in which they are offered. To Mr. Craig we leave high commendation for his accomplishment in this his first year as our principal. Also, we extend to him our good wishes and sincere thanks for his ever-helpful guidance.

Alfred Chandler appoints Henry Collins to carry on his fluent double talk to impress or distract his employer’s customers. Wilbur Chapman leaves pretzels and gum to Janet Eames, and also his driving license, so that she can drive her own car.

Mary Creeden bequeaths to Eleanor Chandler her front seat in English class, in order that she may gain great knowledge. Everett Crook leaves to William Nordberg his eagle eye and amazing skill in making spectacular one-hand baskets. To some energetic Junior who has twenty-four hours a day to work on the yearbook, and can still find time for school work, athletics, and good times, Cathleene Cullen leaves her best wishes and a book on “How To Do One Hundred Things at Once and Still Know What Year It Is.” Ralph Cutillo leaves to Bud Markt his title of “Little Tough Guy.” Mary D’Afile and Mary Horton leave their quiet and unassuming ways to leave
