Class Will We, the Senior Class of Brandon High School, of the town of Brandon, state of Vermont, being of unsound mind and unstable memory, do hereby make, publish and declare this to be our last will and testament. First: To the faculty we leave our appreciation for their helpful guidance and for their inspiring influence, which will continue to serve us. Second: To the Junior Class we leave the Senior Room; the first row of seats in the gym; and, to the girls, the senior hooks. For moneymaking activi- ties, we leave the senior store and the milk. Third: To the Sophomore Class we leave our twenty-six different types of personality. Fourth: We leave to the freshmen our ability to catch detention, make noise, and get into trouble. We will the remainder of our property individually in the following manner: Linda Aines wills her ability to catch detention for throwing snowballs to the freshmen. Watch out, kids! Miss Force is around the corner. Gertrude Baker wills her driving ability to Audrey Lee. Improve your driving and spare Bucky’s fenders. Robert Bassett wills his knowledge to anyone who has the courage to take over. It’s a lot of hard work, but it is really worth it. Mary Bruce just thought and thought and decided there was nothing she could part with. Anna Bryant wills her sweet and dainty ways to Lorna Ricard. You’ll have to settle down Lorna. Gail Dick wills her artistic ability to Robert Rockwell. You have a good chance, Bob. t Ruth Disorda wills her ability to skip school to Ted LaRock. You won’t have to change much, Ted. Gordon de Lancey wills his seat in the senior room to Barb Bassett. Hurry, Barb, you’ve got just a year ahead of you. Betsy Forguites wills her happy-go-lucky ways to Shirley Welch. You’ll have a tough grind, Shirley. Carlisle Geldert wills his ability to flirt with all the girls to Bob Forrest. Don’t be so bashful, Bobby.

SENIOR YEAR Being seniors meant a lot of hard work. We were short a little money, so we had to plan and work hard to put on more activities. We worried over getting out our year book and going on our class trip. In the middle of the year we ordered our calling cards, invitations, and our gowns. With Miss Force as our class advisor we elected the following people as officers: president, Gail Dick (who came to us in her junior year from Flushing, N. Y.); vice- president, Jane Mohan; secretary, Bill LaRoque; treasurer, Carlisle Geldert; Student Council representative, Bill Moffatt. For our class play we pre- sented “Harvey,” a three-act comedy, which made $197.00. We sold Christmas Cards, put on food sales, sold candy, sandwiches, and milk at the Senior Store. With the help of Mr. Condiet we put on a Senior Jamboree which was very successful. We went to New York City on our class trip. Some of us went to baseball games and plays, and we all went on a tour around Manhattan. We had a wonderful time but most of us were glad to get back home. Our chaperones were Mr. and Mrs. Bechtold, Miss Kelley and Mr. Fay. Class Color: Blue and White Class Flower: Red Rose Class Motto: Our Future Is Not in Success, But in Ourselves.

Dorothy Higgins wills her ability to knit and crochet to Gloria Aldrich. Think you can do it, Gloria? Pat Hope wills her ability to run the duplicator to anyone who wants the job. It’s real messy. Wayne Howland wills his farming ability to Bobby Forguites. You’ll have to grow larger and stronger, Bob. Bernard Humiston wills his strength to John Ketcham. You won’t have to try very hard, John. William LaRoque wills his ability to get in the Honor Society to Bill McDonough. You’cf better get started before it is too late. Jack Maroney leaves his skiing ability to Dick Sargent. You have a long ski trail ahead of you, Dick. Marjorie McDonell wills her good humor to June Lewis. It’s really fun, June. Bill Moffatt wills the road to Forestdale to a nyone with a car. Leave a path open for Bill, as he still has use for it. Jane Mohan wills her quiet ways to Kathleen Johnson. You will have to stop flirting, Kathleen. John New wills his wavy hair to Mr. Fay. It stays in place by itself, Mr. Fay. Mary Nickerson wills her American History book to the Sophomore Class. If you study, it’s really not so difficult, kids. Gale Parmelee wills his ability to drive four in the front seat without getting caught to anyone with a truck. It’s really some trick. Barb Platt wills her studious attitude to Jackie Willette. You’ll have a struggle, Jack. Janet Smith wills her small waistline to Elaine LaPorte. You won’t have to diet, Elaine. James Steele wills his ability to chase the girls to John Marcell. We know you can do it, John. Jean Thompson wills her ability to work at the theater to Betty White. Think you can do as good a job, Betty? Better remember your bookkeeping.
