Class Will W THE graduating class of 1945, of Mansfield High School, Mansfield, Massa- chusetts, County of Bristol (I bet you all thought I’d start this that way — anything to make you happy!), do make and declare this our last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills made by us at any time. To the listeners and readers of this will we leave all this corn, point free! To the faculty we will a much-needed rest, and our support in the gaining of a fat bonus when we come of voting age. To the juniors we leave the suspense and expense of being seniors. To the sophomores we leave that worldly feeling that comes when one is a junior. To the freshmen we leave roller skates and neon lights on every door, to aid them in finding their way about our spacious school. To the cafeteria we leave bouncers to aid Mr. Locke in stemming the noontime stampede! We will to the English department the better part of us, which it has taken away! To the math. department we leave this thought on which to meditate: High school seniors are, contrary to appearance, human beings. In the future please act accordingly ! ! ‘To the chemistry department we leave gas masks and a “smell proof” laboratory! ‘To the business department we leave noiseless computing machines, noiseless type- writers, and noiseless students. To the history department we leave maps that change overnight, in order that students may keep up with the times. To the foreign language department we bequeath a motion picture machine of its very own. ROBERT STRESE leaves six of his oh-so-plentiful inches to be divided equally between Eddy Nordberg and Roger Baldelli. HELEN ROGERS leaves her glasses to Mr. Locke — he’s entitled to them, after finding them for Helen so often. FERNANDO ABREU leaves his never-failing alarm clock to Ed Boynton, with the fervent hope that Ed will get to school on time for a change. GLADYS ANDREWS leaves — with Bob Fielding. BOB FIELDING — leaves with Gladys Andrews. JACK ADELSTONE leaves one ton of hair (we’re sure you won’t miss it, Jack) to science. “Through chemistry, Jack hopes to discover what makes it so unruly. MARY BACCHIOCCHI leaves her cooperative spirit, to be divided equally among the juniors. PATRICIA BAYLEY leaves her extensive knowledge of chemistry to Bob Herrick.

BRAD BROWN leaves his singing and howling (as in wolf) ability to George Burns. BENJAMIN CAVALLO wills his quiet ways to David Kaye — wonder what Dave will do with them?
