CLASS WILL We, the class of 1932, having come to the end of our scholastic rope, find it necessary to dis- solve the scholarly bonds which for so many years have connected ns with every misdeed occurring within the halls of the Agawam High School, and hereby solemnly declare our independence of the shackles of pedagogical tyranny, leaving to our several victims, the disconsolate faculty, traces of our manly fortitude and womanly virtue, having survived the terrible tax imposed upon our brains during the four years of toil under the flag of the Agawam High School. To the Town of Agawam: Our everlasting pride in its High School — our Alma Mater. To Mr. Phelps: Our sincere appreciation for the many privileges enjoyed during our High School career. To Mr. Williams: Another chance to coach a play so efficiently as he has “It Won’t Be Long Now' To the Faculty: A lively interest in the development of another Senior (Mass as faultless and remarkable as our own. To Miss Lilly: An authorized bulletin explaining “Why Seniors Must Study Burke and Appre- ciate Him. To Miss W ard: A history class Economics expert to take Cleary’s place next year. To the J uniors: The long-awaited chance to wear the Seniors’ high hats. To the Sophomores: A group of financial exj erts to manage the class’s assets and liabilities. To the Freshmen: Another year with which to banish their shyness, (it they have any.) To Vincent Cirillo: Primo Mutti's verbosity. To Beulah Rivers: Our sincere hope that her voice won’t change during the summer months. To Elsie Johnson: A beauty parlor to furnish with the equipment she has in her desk. To Dorothy Geoffrion: Phyllis Jewett ’s eccentricities. To Charles I lamblen: A make-up set to hide the pencil-marks on his face. This is to be applied after each period. To Blanche Couture: 'Pen nights in each week so that she will be able to keep all of her dates. To Dorothy Brown: A boy friend from among her own classmates so she won’t be lonesome next year. To Leonard Belcher: An original wise-crack for use in French Class. To Irma Soper: Someone who will really appreciate those eyes. To Mary Tatro: A more sympathetic sister — one who won’t go home with a daily report. To Stanley Savage: A little more faith in his fellow men. To Madeline Haynes: A permanent position as French tutor among her classmates. To Helen I )onaldson: A leash so she can keep track of a certain graduate. To Barbara Halladay: The right to share her knowledge of Second-year Algebra with some of the less fortunate students. To Celia Grasso: Some of Ethel Robinson’s self-assurance so that she won’t be afraid to make herself heard. To Anna Piazzo: A standing order of eggs at Hastings’ farm. Then she’ll have plenty of material with which to make more remarkable caricatures of her classmates. To Josephine Penna: Madeline Caruso’s impishness to put one over on those presumptuous Sophomores. To Eleanor Wright: Our Thelma’s knowledge that she’s always “Wright until married. To Rose Pedulia: A clock that always runs slow so she can catch up with her homework. To Alice Scherpa: A love charm to enhance her fascination for a certain well-known Junior boy. To Josephine Tronconi: An opportunity to serenade her gentleman classmates with her spunky banjo. To Robert Johnston: One of Miss Button’s visionary thought-control machines attached to his chair to herd his thoughts when they’ve gone wool-gathering. To Alfred Davis: Ernest Swanson’s droll expression to match his own sparkling wit. Page Seventeen
