Class Will Since we have become mindful of the shortness of this life and are aware of the toll the past four years have taken, we are resolved to publish this last will and testament. BARBARA SICARD wills an imitation of her diamond to all unfortunate girls who haven't caught their man yet, JOYCE BROOKS wills her Horsey to Jane Lewis, Now Janey, you will have a place to anchor that horse tail, HELEN CHICOINE wills her love for music to some of the Freshman boys who seem to lack appreciation for song, PATRICIA MAY wills her ability to get straight A's to anybody who thinks he needs it, HELEN GRONDIN wills her artistic talent to Dorothy Clark, From now on all the art work is your responsibility, Lou, . LORRAINE WILSON wills her job as school bus driver to her sister, Barbara, The pleasure is all yours, RONALD ASHE wills his ability to do well in shop to the Freshman boys, who will be able to put it in good use, BRYCE ELLIOTT wills his dimples to anyone who wants them, Here's everyones chance for a pleasanter smile, DAVID OWEN wills his tuba to Lance Smith, It'll take plenty of wind, but a rugged fellow like you should have no trouble, RICHARD ROBERTS wills his talent for enjoying himself to any of the sad sacks who think school is a serious business, JOYCE PERRON wills her ability to get along with people to any under classmen who enjoy peace, CASTON CORLISS wills his build to Freddy May, Now, Fred, you'll have some weight to throw around on the basketball court, GEORGE PAQUETTE wills his height to the JV boys, Now, you're sure to go places in basketball, . Now that we have given away our best qualities, we must inform you that we are not in very strong physical and mental condition, In case this will is contested, you will probably not lose much if your inheritance is denied, We are sure that it will not be however, With this reassurance, we sign and seal this, our last will and testament, The Class of 1953
