14 GLENDON HOWARD ALLEN- Speedy But quietly he trod these halls. Glendon is one of the tallest fellows in our class,-perhaps it was because he reached so far above us that we know so llttle about him.

THE DIAL 13 LAIT WILL AND TESTAMENT E, the class of 1930, being mentally ethcient, morally normal, and hav- ing distinguished ourselves in both our athletic and academic endeavors during our four years' sojourn in B. H. S., do hereby be- queath all our wordly possessions and estate, as we deem fitting, to the following: First, Upon Miss Leighton and Miss Emerson we bestow our benediction and best wishes for the future. To Miss Henshaw we express our hope that she will be teaching next year as usual. To Brud Wellman we wish the best of luck and health. To Miss FitzGera1d we generously give one box of confetti and hope that she will be the happiest of brides. Aside from this we leave the following facts and fiction: To that honorable and auspicious body of men and women, politely called the faculty, we provide a playground to be situ- ated on the roof, properly equipped with swings, teeters, and chutes where this in- telligent group may relax after the tedious hours at school. To Mr. Leitsinger We give one package of rubber gum that he may never be with- out a chew. To the class of 1934 we leave our class colors and class Howerg may they be re- spected. To the class of 1933 we concede the down-hill side of Richardson's ice pond so they may more easily drag the Freshmen through. Upon the class of 1932 we bestow the privilege of decorating for the Junior Prom and other social affairs. To the class of 1931 we impart our ability to act as befits dignified seniors. To Dot Evans we give a rubber pencil so she may write admittance slips without tiring. Upon Eleanor Humphrey we bestow the privilege of receiving the same loving af- fection from Hob O'Brien that Rena Farr has received from Bertram Baldwin. To Douglas Tupper we give a book en- titled, How to Get Rid of It, as Douglas is never bothered by an inferiority complex. DI: THE CLA!! UF 1930 To Abbott Robinson we leave, though against our better judgment, Mike Dube's ability to acquire athletic Bs , said Bs to be picked from a can of Campbell's Vegetable Soup. To Pat Ryan we leave the privilege of being a Barber, To Ward N. Boylston we give a book, The Problems of Financing Students at Recess, by John Baker. To Norton Wilson we dedicate the song, Alice, VVhere Art Thou? We admit that M. Chase can surely vamp the boys so we leave her only the privilege of finding a permanent one. To Katherine Franklin we leave the posi- tion of night club hostess in Algiers as this position has been left vacant by the de- parture of her sister, Elizabeth Franklin. To Put Helyar we generously give Elliott Barber's technique in the art of entertain- ing young ladies. To Gretchen Shaw we leave a memory book that all tender memoirs of Haviland may be kept periranently. To Virginia MacArthur we bequeath Grace Hector's Indian greeting, Howe, Howefl To Bill Cox we give one jar of vanishing cream so that he may disappear when set upon by members of the opposite sex. As Red McCarty becomes a senior next year, we give to William H. Haigh a collar and leash that McCarty may not be lost. To Gordon Le Bert we bequeath a maxim silencer, thereby benefiting the whole school. To Palma Goodnough we leave a set of Kill-Joy shock-absorbers so that she won't shake the pictures off the walls when she walks through the corridors. To any girl interested in the future, we bequeath a book, VVhy New Hampshire Men Leave Home, by Miss Rowley. To Bill Bond we proudly give one used whiskey label to be pinned on his chest by Burns Robinson, said deed to be executed at the stroke of 12, New Year's Eve. The residue of our estate, including: A physical director's office badly damaged by fire, one high school building beyond re- pair, and a second-hand hockey rink, we leave to the Debating Club in order that they may settle all debts which they have incurred. VVitnessed and sealed on this sixth day of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and thirty. --PERRY GORHAM Howe OSBORNE CARL'roN VVADE Testators for the class of 1930 VVitnessed by: LESLIE BILLINGS BETTY L. BARBER RICHARD VVILDER 4 The most important social event of the year, the annual Junior Prom, was held last Friday evening, June 13, at Lawton Hall. About sixty couples, including a number of alumni, were present. The hall was attractively decorated along a Spanish theme. On one wall was a large picture of a Spanish galleon: the other walls were beclecked with many Flowers, principally mountain laurel and roses. Several Spanish shields were hung about the hall, and some Spanish shawls hung over the balcony rail- ings were especiallyieffective. A lighted moon and stars at one end added their bit to the decorations. Music was furnished by the Green Mountain Sereuaders, dressed in cos- tume to suit the surroundings. Punch, cookies, and ice cream was served by mem- bers of the Junior class, clad in mantillas. The programs were printed in Spanish and were especially attractive. The ehaperones were Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Crane, Mr. 3.1lC1 Mrs. H. W. Shaw, Mr. and Mrs. James Ferriter, Mr. and Mrs. Wiggin, and Mr. and Mrs. Haigh. The following members of the Junior class served on the refreshment committee: Evelyn Perry, Katherine Jordan, Frances Dunlevy, Edward Fenton: on the decorations commit- tee: Ruth White, Madeline Chase, Alice Grant.
