We hope this spirit will be so developed that the Class of '32 will need no other source of financial aid. We hope---! Eleventh: To James O'Reardon we leave Bill Dempsey's collegiate swagger-quite swank, you know-to go with his pile coat. Twelfth: Irene Kelly leaves her vast number of well-thumbed text books to Rita Hogan in the hope that Rita may be able to solve the un- employment question for the future seniors. Thirteenth: Alice Charlton wills her ceaseless chatter and her quaint way of relating moss-covered jokes to Margaret Glaab. Fourteenth: Punctuality is the key to success in the Senior Room. We leave Marie Mott's spectacles to Louise Sharkey. No need now to mistake 8:20 for 8:30 a. m. Fifteenth: Anita Sweeney is to receive Katherine Milleris vim and some of her imperious manner. Sixteenth: Mary Walsh leaves her delicacy of manner and her lip- stick-what's left of it-to Louise Madden on the sole condition that it's kept below stairs. We mean the lipstick, not the manner. Seventeenth: Gertrude Dugan leaves her optimistic view of Senior Life to Florence Kelly. Eighteenth: To the unknown Cinderella, we leave the Black Slipper Csize tenj which was found on the window ledge in the Senior Room and has since disappeared, but the quest of the Black Slipper is left to George Burns by Francis Manning. Nineteenth: Anna Whelan leaves her ability to be satisfied with every one and no one in particular to Catherine Mulvaney. Twentieth: Anna Mahoney bequeaths her maddening Qto the teacherj giggle to Helen Camisa. Cherish it and exercise it, for it has relieved the tension of many a History period. Twenty-first: Mary Hourihan leaves her bored expression and her drawing pens to Eleanor Malley, on condition that she never, never has a drag with any of the teachers. Twenty-second: Mary Hopkins bequeaths to Eleanor Brown her bubbling pep and her sense of responsibility.

First: To Monsignor Ellard, beloved pastor, guide and friend, we bequeath our deep appreciation for the many privileges he has granted to us during our years at Bayley, and we hereby state that he is to share in our daily prayers for those we love. Second: To the Faculty, we leave our undying love. May it sweeten the memory of the hours they coiled with us this past year. Third: To all undergraduates, we leave the Senior superiority com- plex. Fourth: To the Juniors as a whole, we yield our honored and digniied position. It is only fitting that we should bequeath to them individually, our innumerable and incomparable talents. We, therefore, with a feel- ing of pride, not without some reluctance, part with our special gifts. First: To Richard Amy is left the efficiency of Thomas Kavanagh as President of the Senior Class and his troubles as Editor-in-chief of the Bayley Annual. We also will a small bottle of senna juice. It keeps the hair from graying. Second: To Raymond Keyes is left the practical way by which Johnny Bonnaviat utilized his study periods. May he get as much knowl- edge from them as John did! Third: Fred Cummings wills his nonchalant manner to Charles Had- ley. The Class of '31, being in a generous mood, adds a large leather medal as a reward to Charles for his hair-breadth escapes with Aeneas over the threatening skies and seas-in the Senior Room. Fourth: With great pleasure we bestow upon Mary Maher who has never outgrown her juvenility despite the stateliness of our presence, Frances Pearce's reserved nature. Fifth: To Claire Underhill is left by Agnes Chapman, the much coveted position of Captain of the Girls' Varsity. Sixth: To Joseph Gannon is bequeathed the one and only original laugh of Carmen Goldere. May the Class of '32 have their risibilities stirred as often as they hear it. Seventh: To Alvera McGough is bequeathed the sweet graciousness that has distinguished Virginia Garland through High and Helen Ryan's responsible position of Class Scribe. Eighth: Marie Camisa wills a quantity of her exuberance and her smile to Elizabeth Sweeney. Ninth: John Naughton bequeaths his crooning tenor voice to Ed- ward Beston for use only over Bayley High's radio station. 66

Twenty-ninth: To Philomena Danzi is left Rita Beneville's dramatic ability and a set of rules for the prudent disposition of the weekly allow- ance. Thirtieth: Officer James Duff resigns his post as School Ofiicer to John Pentony. A big shining badge goes with the honor and a whistle. Blow Johnny, blow, make the wild children careful. Thirty-first: Ben Hallihan leaves his inexhaustible supply of witti- cisms that have made even our stern Mentor smile to Mary Kenney. Thirty-second: To Thomas Stewart we leave the ever ready spirit of cooperation possessed at present by Francis Dunlap. Guard it well, Peanut, as it is priceless-when one becomes a Senior. Thirty-third: Mary Prendergast bequeaths to Arthur Romaine her torrential flow of speech. Thirty-four: Paul Goodwin Camisa leaves to Tony Appio his diplo- matic manner of reconciling the team to the schedule. Thirty-fifth: To Edward Leary, John O'Keefe leaves his 90's in Chemistry.
