SULLIVAN 3n JWemorj When came the evening of a last repose, An angel bent and sweetly kissed her brow; Then took her by the hand and, as they rose, The light of life shone with eternal glow. All heaven ' s doors bowed back to let them through. They drifted ' mid celestial clouds all round: And then the doors swung back to place. We know In Paradise our loved one now is crowned. Since then, in mercy, Time has eased our pain; And though it dulled the ache we felt that day, It cannot fill that vacant seat again. But we will never let it take away The memory of eyes that laughed and sang, A smile that warmed, a voice that rang. Florence V. Dmytryk • 7 • State Teachers College at Westfield College Faculty J.

The orator bowed out amid a thunder of applause. He was followed out of the auditorium by a naval officer who cried, Fitz! General Fitzgerald turned quickly and said, Case — why I thought I left you back in Westfield among all those women! Look at that gold braid! How are you anyhow? After hearty greetings, they adjoined to the Red Bird Room. Here, Rear Admiral Case and General Fitzgerald discussed what the war had done for them and with them., Memories drifted to the States — to Massachusetts — and finally to Westfield. Say, Fitz; our old pal, Ron Blanchard is here, exclaimed Case. She ' s reporting on the WAVES ' problems. Yes sir, she ' s a lieutenant and instead of teaching ripples she ' s teaching WAVES. ' •Speaking of women in the service, Case, one of the ablest aides this army has is our classmate back at W.S.T.C, Kay Crowley. We always thought she looked smooth in plaids — but you should see her in olive drabs. Neat, said Fitz. I was talking to Kay last week and she had just received a letter from Pearl Bennett. Yes, Pearl of the hearty infectious laugh ! Well, Pearl is the director of a music conservatory, and she has introduced something new in operettas. She presents her Musical Memories of Many Mutinous Moments — the latest are called ' Don ' t Slam Da Doors ' and ' Those Xam- ination Blues ' . Talking of great achievements, have you seen Dusty Lane ' s new book of poems, Songs of the Bob-o-links, written from Connecticut? It has become quite famous, said Case. Say, what is Ruby Roberts doing now? asked Fitz. I never forgot her spaghetti. Oh, said Manning, the long and short of it — or should I say the short and short of it? — is that Ruby had a kindergarten for a time. That was the inspiration for her new health booklets. My favorite is Eat Spaghetti and Grow Tall. Case chuckled. A lot has happened since ' 43, Fitz. Peg Hall is the woman director of the International Olympics. The battle cry of all her ' girls ' is ' Follow the ball like bouncing Hall. ' By the way she invariably cheers for the team that has white for its color. Fitz looked up and exclaimed, I turned on the radio the other night and what did I get but Marie Bresnahan ' s program. How I like her theme ' For Me and My Gal ' . Her latest recording is ' I Can Take It ' and her outfit is riding the waves of popularity. An- other thing, I was in Washington last month and as I breezed by the Capitol Theatre ' Hoot Mon ' — I met Regina Luce Mc ' Pherson hailing a ride to the Capitol. She explained her rush by telling me that she had to introduce her new bill ' How to Get Away Without Paying as You Go. ' Her biggest opposition seems to be someone called Ruml. • 30 • Remember Susie Sanderson and Ida Odabashian? asked Manning. They are pioneer traveling saleswoman selling colorful unmentionables. They tour the country in a new gasless limousine automatically acclimated with no need for anti-freeze. Say Fitz, continued the naval officer, I saw your old Pal Rose Farrell, just be- fore I left California, and we had a long chat. Since Rose left school she has been a Powers ' model; and just lately — (this ' ll slay you) she has been chosen by Warners to star in a new picture, That New Strawberry Blonde. Her leading man is none other than James Harry. Remember him? Surely I remember him, sighed Fitz. Rose is as successful as Helen Piela. You remember — you both had chemistry together. Helen was always concocting some mysterious compounds of chemicals to make a new explosive. Well, she finally put her destructive powers to good use and invented a new Anti-Jap exterminator. I ' m glad she got through her experiments safely, Fitz, remarked Case. Mrs. Emerson wondered why I always wore my tin hat and my father ' s asbestos suit to class. By the way, I saw Stella Siok recently. I happened to be walking down St. Richard ' s Street in New York, when I noticed a bookshop — so I decided to drop in and pick up a few books for long overdue literature assignments. I certainly was surprised when the manager turned out to be Stella! She has a number of books in the store, but somehow, it seems, she has gone in for Poor Richard ' s Almanac- in a big way. So, Case, that ' s how the old gang has scattered — not a school-ma ' am among them. Tsk, tsk! grinned Case and after all that practice we had writing lesson plans. General Fitz rose and looking at Case in that Irish-tone-of-voice which, by the way, he could look so well, proudly announced: I am going to present two W.A.A. (Wholly Adroop Achievement) awards. The first goes to Mary Adams for her dot-dot-dot-and- dashing from the island of Cabania. After she relocated the ray she was able to put twenty bombers back on the beam. Another goes to Flossie ' With-the-light-light-hair ' Dmytryk. When a curious conscientious objector came up to see what the pretty color was, Floss just talked him into the Marines. Remember how she always could talk us into and out of everything? How about you, Case? Do you have any Navy awards to make? Yes, indeed, answered Case. The Navy has named Dot Koenig for the ' E ' award; that is, she is credited with building high morale among the Navy men with her realistic rendition of ' The Wreck of the Hesperus ' ! 31 Class PFill We, the Class of Nineteen Hundred Forty-Three of the Westfield State Teachers College, Hampden County, Massachusetts, being of sound bodies, lofty minds, superior intelligence, magnanimous hearts, and being desirous of disposing among those who shall here remain after our departure the last vestiges of our wealth, do hereby and forthwith declare, publish, and pro- claim this to be our last Will and Testament and bequeath to Mr. Scanlon: Many, many, more happy birthdays and a prom to go with each.

Miss Grout: Venetian Blinds or a similar device with which to keep out the per- sistent sunlight. Miss Wallace: A set of thermometers that will register the same temperature at the same time in the same place. Mr. Ward : A standing invitation to decorate the boards of our future schoolrooms. Miss Williams : A bicycle-built-for-two to share with her colleagues. Miss Bettinger : One valuable antique spoon for her growing collection. Miss Heald. A saw, a hammer, a pile of wood, and a box of nails. Miss Nichols : Another Mr. Fitzgerald to teach the hazards of women drivers. Miss Robbins : A milkman who will deliver her milk before she departs for school in the morning. Miss Lesniak : The admiration of the class for her genial personality ; and more skirts and sweaters to give her that schoolgirl look. Miss Wade : One shiny bicycle on which to travel to Mr. Merrill ' s Junior Classes. Miss Deane : A bicycle for the same purpose, and our own Pulitzer Prize for her de- lightful Class-Day plays. Miss Leyonborg : The above-mentioned bicycle, as well as a vacation in Florida to go with her smooth tan. Mrs. Cole : Our envy of her marvelous story-telling ability. Miss Fuller: A horse and buggy available in case gas and tire rationing should be- come more severe. Mr. Ben Andrews: A razor and a package of razor blades ; reason obvious. Mr. Jack Rost: An obedient, mechanical robot to mow the campus lawn. Mrs. Pearson : Our belated thanks for keeping our school in such a neat condition. • 33 • The Junior Class : Our envied front seats in assembly with the condition that they be graced with the same dignity and respect with which we graced them. The Sophomore Class: For each member a little sister as sweet and appreciative as our little sisters . The Freshman Class: The honor of relinquishing their place as freshmen and stepping into the shoes of sophomores. In witness whereof we hereunto set our hand and seal this second day of June, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and forty- three. CLASS OF 1943 Signed, sealed, published and declared by the Class of Nineteen Hun- dred Forty Three as its last Will and Testament in our presence and in the presence of each other who hereby do sign our names as witnesses thereto.
