Class Will We, the Class of '32, being sober, and of sound mind and of doubtful memory, do hereby make this, our last will and testament. As, we are soon to fall victims of the depression, we wish to hand on to those who follow us, our worldly goods. Our first desire is a decent interment, to be preceded by the form and ,ritual of a good old-fashioned Irish Wake. Secondly, we wish to offer the entire faculty congratulations and our best wishes for a speedy recovery from the task of getting a diploma into our hands, to say nothing of the trouble it must have been te amuse us these many years. To those who will now be regarded as Seniors, we leave our home-room, with the advice that, if you donit get more out of it than we did, it wonit be much. Robert Dutton leaves to Robert l'Confusion Fuess his clhcient and quiet Way of doing things. Robert '4Goofi, Gallagher relinquishes his exceptional chemical abilities to that up and coming lad, Lloyd Smith. James Hljercyw Ruane leaves his unfailing promptness to one who is in great need of it, Joyce Randall. Anna Ready has become a martyr by offering her quiet manner to Winifred 'GPrudence,, Lloyd. Fred Byrnes, old man generosity himself, leaves his exceptional basketball abilities to graceful Raymond Dunn. Josephine De Pollina leaves her many inane questions to the mercy of the lirst graders. Regina Barrett, the only dark sheep in this famed Class of '32, leaves her wild ways to one who can ill afford to assume them, Irene Berry. Russell Dornburgh, that sophisticated young man who tramps the halls in a swallow-tail and silk topper, leaves his sophisticated manner to Frank Gibbons. Frank, we 'advise you to give it a try on Thelma. John Fusek, our own steadfast and demuref, leaves his sincere, pleasing man- ner to Don Fuess, who will, by adopting it, meet with great success and popularity. Priscillla Hilsinger T135 decided that upon graduating she and Pauline Randall will have a little uget together in which they will share proportions and emerge ngrown up. Grace Scott leaves to Ruth Beck her high school romances, of which there seem many. Tessie Westmoreland leaves her seducive charmsf?l to Maxine Rice with hope that there will be mutual benefit If you think thereis another like our Tessie, just ask the boys on the hill. Mary Nolan leaves her dignity in hope that Betty Lane will appropriate some of it. Letis all hope for Betty. Stuart Fuess leaves his clandestine love affairs to darken the annals of Water- ville High. Mary Fuess leaves her gum to Miss Clark for art purposes. Lowell Peckham leaves his cosmopolitan air to Elmer Burkett-and then, thereis that saying of '4Out of the frying pan into the firef, Wallis Wetlaufer leaves his soccer misfortune to Carl Cook. . Mary Brown leaves school with high hopes of an early and prosperous mar- riage. Don't rush Mary, all men are created equal. Peg Terry leaves young Ed Kane to Geraldine Wright. The good that men do lives after them. AAAg4.:AA AAA44Ax444AAA AAA4.4.zAAA AA

v vvvvvv vvvvvvvvvvv vvvv History of the Class oi l932 ln the fall ot' l920. tive small boys and girls started tl1eir school eareers to- together. They were Stuart Fuess, Mary Fucss. lVlarguerite Cleary, Frederick Byrnes, and Mary !No'an. They were joined since then by Margaret Terry, John Fusek. Re- gina Barrett, llobert Dutton, Robert Gallagher and Russell Dornburgh in the grades, and by James lluane, Anne Doyle, Mary Brown, Lowell Peckham, Yvallaee Xvet- laufer, Josephine De Pollina, Anna Ready, Ruth Shoemaker, Elizabeth Jones, The- resa VVestmoreland, Guy Sweet, Priscilla Hilsingcr, Bessie Ogden, Fannie McCartney, and Grace Scott in high school. ' ln the grades our lives were quite uneventful, but in high school We had more opportunities to participate in different activities. ln our third year in high school We secured our junior rings, and sponsored a successful junior promenade. Some of our members have excelled in varsity athletics, namely, Robert Dutton, James Ruane, Fannie McCartney, Russell Dornburgh, Stuart Fuess, Mary Fuess, Mary Brown, Wallis Wetlaufer, Frederick Byrnes-an all-star in basketball for the last two consecutive years, and Ruth Shoemaker. Our class has been represented in the Talcott Prize Speaking Contests by Regina Barrett, Josephine De Pollina, Robert Dutton, Lowell Peckham, and Theresa Xvest- morelandg and our class officers are: Robert Dutton, president, Anna Ready, secre- tary, and John Fusek, treasurer. The Academic Union Board has the following members from the Class of l932: Anna Ready, editor-in-chief, Theresa Westniorelzlrld, John Fusek, Robert Gallagher, Robert Dutton and Guy Sweet. Many of the prizes offered for high school students have been Won by members of the class. We also have presented our senior play, Hlxlothing But The Truth, quite successfully this past year. Our four years of high school life are being brought to a close. It has been our constant aim to secure a diploma, and in doing so we have encountered many trials and disappointments, hut a life without these is impossible, so we have no lament to make. Vife hope we have done as much as was expected of us, and in the future We propose to carry on satisfactorily. We know not what the future has in store for us, but be that what it may, We shall, under all conditions, do our bestfand what more can anyone do?

Hoois Hoo? v vvvvvvvvv vvwvvvrwvvvvv-vvrvvvvvvv'C'C' ' -' Marguerite Cleary leaves her uncontrollable mirth to the amazement of the un- derclassrnen. Ruth Shoemaker leaves her spelling ability to anyone who values it enough to want it. Betty Jones bequeathes her inferiority complex to the laboratory for experimen- tal purposes. We are all anxious to know just what elements it takes to make up such an extarordinary self-hate. Bessie Ogden leaves her unprofessed love for Orville Jones, to Laura Tepolt. Who knows what may become of this? They are both delightfully bashful kids- and then two minuses make a plus-you know! Fannie McCartney leaves for Utica to take up nursing with the hopes that Bill will havevgood care during her absence. We refer him to Agnes An-Tier. Z? Guy Sweet leaves his oratorical eloquence to Rodney Pierson. Ahl Rodney- Now you're all set-That Sweet man's line sure gets 'em. i The remaining good qualities of this Class of '32 may be had by anyone apply- ing in the usual LA- manner, i. e., fill out a pink, a blue, and a yellow slip, have photo- graphs and Hngerprints taken, and present signatures of at least fifteen teachers. Having heaved our final sigh a goodly distance, we now sign this, our last will and testament, before our old friend, Rigor Mortis, comes in. fSignedj Guy Sweet Robert Gallagher.
