Memories During the summer, ten gals and two guys worked in co-operation with the Athletic De- partment soliciting ads for the football pro- grams. In the fall they distributed programs to advertisers and sold them at the games. Profits were shared by the class and athletic department. Quick! Get this typed up. Where is that picture? We need another story. The dead- line is tomorrow. Under the advisorship of Miss Doherty, who really worked hard and helped us throughout the production, the seniors struggled to complete the 1955 Ar- chive. Everyone, even the underclassmen co- operated with the Archive Staff. Bradley .Paxton toolf and printed many pictures and others ran errands and did odd jobs to help us. - f ' PROGRAM SALESMEN-First Row: B. Burr, P. Bates, J. Gennosa, E. Burtl. Second Row: M. Reed. A.

Last Will and Testament of the Class of 1955 W e, the most of the most, the best of the best, the Class of 1955, having complete mental faculties, being in perfect physical condition, bequeath the following items to those unfortunates f?j who have to invade the hallowed hall C207j next semester. Our first bequest: to the school we leave an installation of bars Qfor the windowsj to pro- tect humanity from next year's onslaught. To the teachers we oiler our deepest sympathy, having the ill fortune of having to put up with the underclassmen. To our dear Miss Stewart: a year's supply of insect repellent to ward off the leech-like bugs we know exist in next year's array of seniors. To the ever capable coaching staff we leave the impossible hope of better or more athletic- like Seniors than MUS. To the Uncle of Geometry, Mr. Borowicz, we leave a jar of sedatives for his trials and tribulations in next year's 6th bell study hall. Judy Brunton leaves Miss Stewart another headache: LOUIE l Addie Chiarino wills his Santa Claus suit to any round-aboutv junior. Gus Beldin leaves his driver's license to Jim O'Connor or Jerry Bartlett and suggests that they be given another chance for a test. To Judy McCormick, Eva Ryan leaves a bottle of H202 and she says, Finish the job. WOLI..Y Oops, Willy Bresee leaves his muscles to anyone with enough ambition to go up to Hillcrest and throw a few logs around. Ang and Beth leave a gallon of gas to anyone who needs it-fto get back to schoolj. Joe Famalaro leaves his draft card to any junior boy Q18 or overj wishing a pass to any first-class eating establishments. Brownini Jackson wills one hundred copies of his latest publication, THATS MY LINE to any interested, male underclassmen. fAutographed toolj Ron Balcom gladly leaves seat No. 1 to any junior who wants to be first in everything. No kidding! Nancy Conklin leaves Peppy Aloi a foot of height that she has to spare. Mike Schofield f'4Hajji j leaves a pass key to the towel cabinet so the girls can have a good crying jag when he leaves. THE GIRLS in the Class of '55 will a free bus line from Norwich to Oneonta to make com- munications easier. Sir .James Boyce leaves his shotgun to Bob Georgia so he can bag a few of the rabbits he shoots at. Full rights are left to Addie's Heaven and Zimmy's Hideaway if anyone desires these ideal f?j locations. Seriously, the Class Will Committee, on behalf of the Class of 1955 wishes the best of luck and health to all the underclassmen. With one final comment I close this MASTERPIECE? MAKE THE MOST OF EVERY MINUTE! Michael Schofield I5
