LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the class of 1945, of the town of Weston, Commonwealth of Massa¬ chusetts, being of sound minds and memories, do make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament, in matter and form as follows: To Mr. Rhoades and the faculty we, the class of 1945, give sincere thanks for their untiring efforts to equip us in every way for problems of the future. David Campbell leaves his wolfing (?) to Charlie Place, who so far re¬ mains untouched by this latest fad. Jean Tiffany leaves her love of horses to the Blimp.” They say horse¬ back riding is about as good as the DuBarry” salon. Jeanne Rogers leaves her amazing incomprehension of what’s going on around her to Buddy Clive. Sally Caffrey leaves the memory of those days when she came to school without a trace of make-up to Mikey Browning. Lorraine Comeau leaves her place in the Gondoliers” to Betty Lou Bolster. Joan Brouillette leaves her big hair bows to David Whelpley for his blond curls. Nancy Woodman leaves her knowledge of how and where to use ski boots, especially new ones, to John White. Jack Patterson leaves his ways (?) with the women to Gardner Brown. June Fiske leaves her fine penmanship to Myrtle Littlefield. Phyllis Brown leaves her Harvard accent to Moe.” Pauline Jacques leaves her ability to be seen and not heard to Joe Studley. Nancy Peakes leaves her will power in dieting to any poor unfortunate who’s tried and failed. Eleanor Walls leaves her ability to be inconspicuous to Lucy Leatherbee. Kenny King leaves his love of eating to Jack Martin, hoping he’ll grow out” a bit, as well as up.” Gwendolyn Gale leaves her sharpshooting to Dottie Sheehan—the com¬ bination of this with what she already has ought to make her a star player in years hence. Naomi Newell leaves her ability to keep up a good argument to Don McRae. Are we kidding? ? Kay Ritz leaves her long, curly hair to Lois Rinehart. Alice Dolan leaves her lack of conceit over her good looks to Jack Van Heest. 20

The attached instrument was thereunto subscribed by the class of 1945, the testators, in the presence of each of us and was at the same time declared by them to be their last will and testament, and we are at their request signing our names hereunto in their presence as attesting witnesses. Helen Harding, Alice L. Bocquel, Ruth E. Smith. 21
