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]
