All 5 3450 Wifi? We, the Class of l949, being, as we believe, sound of mind and stout of heart, do make this our last will and testament in the presence of all those who care to accompany us through this tortuous process. Article I. To Joe Tierney and the members of his quar- tet, Paul Sweeney, Joe's other half, leaves this, his favorite atomizer, to keep Joe's delicate baritone voice in perfect pitch. Article II. Bud Lepine and Jack Carroll leave to Bob Brogan this first-aid kit containing bandages, band-aid, iodine, scissors, splints, and a booklet on nEmergency Treatment.n When the football season gets under way, Bob may be in need of them. Article III. To Ronald Bradley we bequeath a mouthpiece, so that he will come out of the next season with as many teeth as he had when he went into it. Article IV. Last year the thoughtful girls of the Class of '48 left to Malcolm Parrish an apron so that he might wait on table at all the hops. Malcolm looked hard and long for someone to step into the dainty strings and finally found a worthy successor in Ted O'Neill. Article V. George Cobb knows that every growing boy needs more than eight hours sleep a day. He has a nice, soft pillow that can be placed on a desk and insure greater comfort for a student who uishes to doze. This prized pillow George bequeaths to Lauren Peters. Pleasant dreams, Lauranl Article VI. George Butler has quite a memory for tel- ephone numbers, but as he added more and more to his list, he found that his mind was overburdened. So he collected all his valuable information in this little black book, which he leaves to Bert Ketchen. Ceorge grants to Bert the right to take out any girl in the Wayland High School, except one. Article VII. We all know Tom Dotey by his distinguished mustache. At the suggestion of his brother Francis, we leave to Tom this wax, so that he may curl the ends upward and create an even more devastating effect. Article VIII. During the past four years Russell Bigelow has proudly paraded around the school with his hair slicked down with the bear grease generously contributed by pre- ceding classes. Russell received such quantities that he has a great deal left over. This bucketful Russ passes on to a Junior who strives to have that sleek, well-groomed appearance--Donald Hobbs. Article IX. Martin Ide bequeaths tc Norman Vlass a hunting license that specifically gives Norman the right to go hunting during the football season. Article X. Four little Freshman girls do their best to drive the faculty and students crazy with their constant giggles. To these young ladies we leave this cotton, so that every time they get the urge to tee-hee, they can shove it into their mouths and so avoid the wrath of their long- suffering public. To Judy Kelsey, Sally McLellan, Audrey Emery, and Carol Davis a long life and a happy one. Article XI. Whoever keeps Santa Claus after school for being late? Martin Ide leaves his brother Jim this heli- avril S4 'fs' IJ ' K ik wi ffm Y S sly, ff, ff X951 I if gt l F511 TH ATR 5175 P' oefVASI rg ' I oo 1iL?

In March the Senior members of the National Honor Society conducted the in- duction ceremcny which takes place each year. In this month also the Glee Club presented Johnson and Korgan's lovely operetta, HThe Belle of Bagdad.N Mrs. Radford directed the Clee Club and other faculty members gave unlimited time in aiding the production. Senior members taking part were Mary Cahill, Esther Nisbet, Russell Bigelow, Herbert Smith, John Perrin and Priscilla Buckingham. The annual Sports' Banquet was held at Mansion lnn in the spring to honor those who participated in sports during the year. Bert Edwards' Orchestra furnished the music for dancing. All too quickly June has rushed up to tell us it is time to leave, but for us graduation will truly be a commencement. We all see a long road of life stretching before us. As some of us have not yet completed our education, we will go on to higher schools of learning. Not one of us leaves Wayland High School without feeling a strong surge of gratitude and affection for Miss Merrithew who has worked with us and spent many hours helping us compile the nReflector,n a living collection of memories which record what have thus far been Hthe best years of our lives.N Priscilla Buckingham Barbara Daly ICNQ Fifth Row: George Muhlberg, William O'Connell, Walter Smith, Richard Bowers, George Celorier, George Butler, George Cobb, Richard Marcantonio, Waldo Lawrence.

copter. With it Jim can alight on the school roof and come - down through the chimney. I 4 Article XII. Have you ever noticed how serenely Bill ' ' O'Connell makes his way around our school? We are serious when we say, Bill, ever the gentleman. There is never a quarrelsome word from Bill. We think that there is one boy 4 in our midst who can qualify as Bill's successor. To Luigi Mascia we give this symbol of peace, a U. N. portfolio. ,. Article XIII. To the three technical advisors of the high H school, Jerry Smith, Dave Kicilinski, and Walter Perrin, . .A K the Senior Class leaves all its Physics books, the labor- atory equipment, and this atom bomb. May these three is experts enjoy themselves to the utmost as they asphyxiate all the school children and rock the universe. Article XIV. Big Bill Withington, the terror of the ' Freshman Class, is always darting around like a ship without , -f a rudder. To Bill we leave this anchor so that he may move -v- with greater moderation and dignity as befits his advanced , 1 rating as a Sophomore. I .. Article XV. We, the Class of '49, leave to Betty-Lou ,, -, Spencer a rope so that she may keep a certain Senior in tow 'E' after graduation. L K Article XVI. To Paul Keith, George Muhlberg graciously f donates some of his height for the success of next year's basketball squad. Perhaps this ladder will help Paul until George can get the time to turn his height over. Article XVII. With tears in his eyes, Jack Carroll leaves his most prized possession to another who will J follow in his footsteps. He feels that his delicate 11 instrument, his pet Rex-o-graph, will be safe in the hands - er one David Kieinnski. .Q Article XVIII. We've all heard of the child who sang Am Baby's Fishing for a Dream and of the fellow that's . Q Always Chasing Rainbows, but it isn't every day that you see an acrobat race up a curtain to catch a campfire that's on its way out. To Arthur Tupper we leave this trapeze for his next performance. -f 17 Article XIX. James Curley has done quite a bit of baby 'Cf 0 V : sitting this year, and I hasten to add that he has enjoyed -.1 'S the experience. Inasmuch as Bobby Baker is also taking the same course in Child Psychology the hard way, James leaves to him these games and pacifiers. With these he Q can amuse the children and himself. A Article XX. The voices of' the faculty must be strained h in their efforts to rise above the hammers, bulldozers, and c . cement mixers incidental to the new construction. To the teachers we leave megaphones so that they may be able to ,g, reach the attentive and eager ears of the student body. 35 ' 1 ' H 1 Article XXI. Barbara Daly is always starting on a new qs ' ' - diet, which she says she is sure to keep this time. Because l .- of her vast experience, Barbara has been able to devise a Q ' f , Q formula that is sure to work. She passes this model diet Q Z' e 1 -9 on to Avis MacArthur so that Avis may circulate it through- G , out the school. I Thus having assigned all our worldly possessions to those fortunate ones we leave behind, and having secretly convened on a Slow Boat to China, we, on this tenth day of June, in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred forty-nine, do terminate, close, and end this our last will and testament. Signed, sealed, published, and declared in the presence of each other and our attorney, Kulinie, we herewith subscribe our names as testators for the Class of 1949. Mal Parrish Bill O'Connell
