Our ability to get along with our teachers and fellow classmates we gladly bequeath to the Sophomores. With pride we bestow upon the Freshmen our brains, so that they may some day too, graduate. The best things in life are free and so to the in- coming students of B. F. A., our chief beneficia- ries: our ability to act we donate at no extra cost. Secondly, the boys of the Class of 1953 look to the Freshmen and Sophomore boys to carry the banner of victory in athletics. The Senior Girls bid sad adieu to Mr. MacKinnon. Thirdly, to certain individuals the Seniors be- queath the following item: Item I-Pauline Duquette relinquishes her nickname of Cannonball to Jean Ouellet, be- cause she may enjoy it better than Pauline did. Item II-Pat Finn wills her cheerleading abil- ity to Joan Finn. Item IH-Ronnie Roof leaves his chair in Mr. Sunderland's oflice to any incoming freshman who prefers sitting. Item IV-Grace McGowan wills her laugh to Judy Daley.

Item VII-Jeannette Bilodeau leaves B. F. A. free of her treasured name for one year for there are still four more to come. Item VIH-Marjory Blow Wills her temper to Claudette Montagne for we all feel that she could use more. Item IX-Maurice Bouchard contributes his friendliness to Dick Morton. Item X-Jean McMahon wills her flirtatious ways to Nonnie Hewitt-as if she needs more! Item XI-Pat Ovitt leaves her ability to get along with Mr. White to Frances Morton. Item XII-Nancy Bovat and Irene Foun- taine are left a choice trick, a special way to sneak up into the gym at noontime by Sylvia Rand and Claire Chevrier. Item XIII-Vera Dacey wills her ability to give news in Modern History to Claire Bouchard. Item XIV-Milford Denner leaves. Item XV-Howard Dodds leaves Nancy Ca- pron at last. Item XVI-The Notorious Exchange. Sue VVhite's legs versus Harland Sylvester's legs. Item XVII-Ronnie Barrette desires to leave nothing for he needs everything he has. By consent and approval, we nominate the Faculty and Trustees of B. F. A. as sole executors of this, our last Will and Testament and hereby cancelling all former agreements.

12 B. F. A. Mercury Q vice o by I am a poet, You'd never know it. My feet show it: They're longfellows. Here we all sit, quite broken-hearted, The Senior class will soon be departed. Well, goodness me! How time passes, Soon we will leave the underclasses. But don't cry and don't you fret, All's not lost, we ain't left yet. So, to comfort you in your grieving, Here's some advice before our leaving. To the juniors: these words sagacious, Please do grow up and act your ages. To the Sophomores: Toe the mark! An upperclassman's life is no lark. To the Freshmen: fsophomores I meanj In the coming year don't be so green. To the incoming Freshmen with their eager faces: Always mind your elders and remember your places. For those of you who don't like my rhyme Plug your ears, I've got lots of time. In the next part of my little ditty, Individuals I advise a little bitty. Give the girls a break, don't be so coy Peter Bostwick, you're a nice looking boy. Rodney Richards must really be on the ball For him I have no advice, nothing at all! To that dashing young fellow, Joe Briere, Why don't you set some girl's heart on fire? Undefzgfzaduafes TOM HALL And now to the girls for just a while, Nonny Hewitt, must you always smile? To Jill Brown, who talks with ease, Keep it up, it makes a nice breeze. This poem of min-e is really a dilly, Not very long, but really very silly. To Roddy Vallee and to Betty White: Must you see each other every night? To Wendell Gilbert, that happy young wit, Regarding the water pistol, get rid of it. Dick Cruickshank, stop your giggling. Janet Fallon, you stop your wiggling. Beverly is advised to bid Ted farewell, CFor next year, he'll be gone to-the air To the incoming inhabitants of Room 21 Be good to Mr. Comi, for he's lots of fun. For those of you who have Mr. Mackinnon next year, Just mind your grammar and there's nothing to fear. force.D To teachers now my verse's directed, At them I throw my barbs infected. To Mister Leavitt Cfor he's a starj, Stick to volleyball, You'll go far. Dear Miss Beeman, always be fussy That the bus driver's name is Bussy. To you, Mister White, please have no fears, Therelll be Pierces here for years and years. If anyone by my rhyme I've offended, I'm sorry, there's no harm intended. Now like the cat that's lying across a rail, Here comes a train-'tis the end of my tail. Vu 0 -ur '1i :a.f' 2:3 0, 101503 ' ID A :gy WUI! 'T'
