To Robert Carroll, a sparring partner so he will not have to pick on little John Arnold. To Marion Cowles, a new buggy so she can go riding on Sunday with her boy friend without getting a break-down. To Daniel Barnfather, the right to teach Freshman English, now that he has completed his three years on this subject. To Mae Davis, a drum so she can make herself heard. To Gerald Gallagher, a section of the hall to himself so he will not be disturbed while talking to Grace Brady. To Inez Lucardi, an hour for lunch so she will have more time to talk with Jimmy. To Cecelia Marschall, three weeks off from all subjects so she may catch up in typewriting and shorthand. To Walter Bodman, a book entitled, “Carrying on a Conversation and Letting the Other Fellow Talk Some of the Time.” To Raymond Fortini, all the blonds in the Junior High. To Ola Campbell, a horse and buggy so she can tour Belchertown with Chester this summer. To William Mabb, because of his ability to play the piano we give him the privilege of accompanying Mary Hunter on All her outbursts of music. To Richard Wilson, a new car to take certain junior girls out riding. To Raymond Jeofifrion, a sound-proof hall. This will prevent him from disturbing the neighbors while practicing on his sax. To Lottie Voislow, a pair of running shoes, so she can keep in trim with her boxer boy-friend. To Jerry Zerra, a lolly pop so he will not always be chewing gum and matches. To Eileen Otto, Alice Fickweiler’s method of keeping thin. To Kathleen Grimes, a nose guard to use playing basketball, because a broken nose would not be very attractive to Dick Merrell. Besides these enforced gifts we leave, not of necessity, but because of our great generosity, our blessing and pledge of friendship to the Agawam High School. In witness whereof, We, the Class of 1929, have to this will set our hands and seal this eleventh day of June, Anno Domini, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-nine. Catherine Burke [23]

Agawam. We feel he could make good as he already has two steady pas- sengers in Miss Lilly and Miss Phealan. To Miss Crowley, a pair of easy shoes to wear while she is hunting apartments. To Mr. Dacey, a book of lullabies to sing his young son to sleep. To Mrs. Aldrich, a body-guard so her husband will not lose so much sleep meeting her every evening she goes out. To Miss Miller, a companion to live in Agawam with her so she will not have to go home every week-end. To M iss Smith, a box of Mother Sill’s Sea Sick remedy because if she is sick on the ocean she cannot get out and walk as she docs from street car sickness. To Edwin Arnold, Walter Johnson’s pitching ability now that Mr. Johnson is not using it. We feel this will save Mr. Smith a lot of worry about next year’s pitching staff. To Grace Brady, a mirror in every room so that she may always look her best. To Edward Grimes, a new sweater to take the place of the one his sis- ter wore out. To Flory Costa, our sincere wishes that she plays as good a game of bas- ketball next season as she did in the past one. To James Reynolds, a closed car so Inez will not catch so many colds. To Ethel Pronk, a Guard against all illness so she will not lose any more school time. To Alfred Roy, the distinction of being called the best looking boy in his class. To Rebelle Vancini, an automobile to use while hunting ads for the Mirror. To John Arnold, a shield for his eye so he will not be displaying any more discolored ones. To Angelina Novelli, her sister Josie’s ability to talk so she can keep up the family reputation. To John Cirillo, Napoleon Dupuis’ red stockings. They will probably help him in leading cheers next year. To Vera Brown, someone to take her picture when she is sitting in one of those thoughtful moods. To Lawrence Peterson, a faithful admirer to take a “certain” senior girl’s place. To Frances Pedulia, a steady job in the lunch room. To Maurice Rohan, a report card with all A’s so he will not have any complaint about his marks being only A’s. To Corada Tinti, a hand-book of French expressions so she can carry on the club meetings without Miss Jauch’s aid. To Tienna Fragomeni, Charles Assad’s voice so she can be heard in the class room. To George Roos, Dick Kellogg’s place as class cut up. To Constance Magovern, a diploma from dancing class. We feel her efforts should be repaid. To Grace Merrell, all the addresses of the senior boys so she will know where to find them after they have graduated. [22]
