To Mr. Cummings - a set of balls and chains which, when fastened to the legs of members of his class, will help them to resist the temptation of attending the matinees at the local theatres and keep their minds fast- ened upon the arts of woodwork. To Mrs. Van Etten - a dependable, Sphinx-like robot who will not mind waiting until the final stroke of the bell at Mark Hopkins sounds the hour of eleven, when all good little dorm girls say good night and troop up the steps and into the dimly lighted halls of the dormitory. Answering telephone calls in the booth will also be a duty of this valuable assistant. To Miss Allyn - the eyes and ears of N. A. S. T. C., - an elevator and a pair of roller skates, which ought to be of great assistance to her in carrying out her duties. To Miss Ferguson - a miniature rubber doll which, when squeezed, will say You owe the state some money. When do you think you will be able to pay? This doll might be placed in the oflice, where its operation would be most effective. To the training school faculty - a training school that is a reality and not a mere dream, modelled after the latest trends in modernistic architecture, made of glass, so that each room will have an equal amount of sunlight. To the underclassmen - we bequeath a borax ski slide for all future winter carnivals. All they need to buy is the borax for the front lawn and terraces. To the dormitory girls - we willingly leave the big brown house across from the school to be used as an incinerating playroom with im- flammable furniture and fixtures. fThis is just in case the girls finally get tired of walking down the hill twice a day.J To next year's house president - we leave the bulldog tenacity and the gentle spirit of Helen Stokey. To Mary Connors - very generously Cwe thinkl is left the dignity and formality at dances that only Winnie Smith could ever possess. To Louise Long - Rita Mead gives her coloratura soprano voice and her ability to get high marks without much effort. To Rita Conway - goes the reserve and art of minding one's own business , an accomplishment belonging to only one girl - Ann Berte. To Marge Bowers - the precious night cap owned by Helen Strehle is very willingly bequeathed. That's to keep your head from catching cold, Marge. Doris Bourdeau leaves her sun-tan prescription to Ruth Dennison with the hope that she will follow the directions just as carefully as that particular senior girl did herself. To Evelyn Rustemeyer - we bequeath the entire class' ability to take it tcriticismj. Rowena Pittsinger leaves the whole of her wardrobe to whichever one of the two girls in the junior class it may fit. To Janet Jillson - Ruth Card leaves all future butler parts, hoping that Janet will be able to portray them one-tenth as well as Ruth did. Dot Dupell's duties as chaperon at all dances are tranferred with pleasure to Betty N eyland. To Betty Davine and Ginny Belanger - Margaret Stewart very thoughtfully leaves the long-sought after studio couch in front of Miss Underhill's room. Please use discretion, girls. To Bertha Ray - the pride and prejudice of French aristocracy is left by the regal Irene Gingras. To Margaret La Fountaine - the Bible and all its quotations is be- queathed by Marge Nevel. fBe sure to bring it to assemblies on Monday mornings, Peg.J page nintcen
