CLASS WILL 1. WE, THE CLASS OF 1944, OF CHATHAM HIGH SCHOOL, BEING OF SOUND AND DISPOSING MIND AND MEMORY, AND RECOGNIZING THE UNCERTAINTIES OF THIS LIFE, DO MAKE PUB- LISH, AND DECLARE THIS TO BE OUR LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT. We hereby make the following specific be- quests: To the Junior Class as a whole, we leave the dignified title of Seniors, and sincerely hope that they live up to this title as we, the Class of 1944, have. As the Seniors filed their predominating characteristics, we noted the first entry belonged to Betty Repp, who happily wills her smiles and dimples to Mary Cozzolino, while Harlan Root is handing his Book of Bright Sayings to Wil- bert MacFarlane. Upon our asking Bob Gross the reason for his dull expression, he answered, that he was leaving his priority on Dot Williams to Bill Shufelt. Dot McQuade's entry Stated that she was leaving her ability to carry a tune to Margaret DeGrof'f g as Katherine Korobchuk said that Flor- ence Smith could take over the duties of the senior class, Jack Seaman and Mary Dean Pul- ver came in. Their contribution to the Junior Class is: Mary Dean Pulver leaves her shining black hair to Dot Williams while Jack Seaman wills his blue plaid jacket to Holmes Hutchinson. Because of her many patriotic duties, Kath- leen Salerno leaves with pleasure her cosmetic kit to Helen McGilvrayg as Margaret Wilder and Edna Golden leave Catherine Shields their peaches and cream complexion. For a little jitterbugging now! Malcolm C.H.S., 1944 2' Wheeler and Edward Troskowski leave their dancing ability to Marjorie Kittleg and Gene Broderick donates his technique with the ladies to General Hocking. Since we and Ivan know that he is our class pest, he wills that title to Arthur Kern, while Bob Sayles and Bernie Dunn leave their shyness to James Slatteryg Dorothea Link and Norma Piester leave their ability to harmonize to Frances Gustafson and Betty Van Tassel. That come hither look of Anna Mae Fox is taken over by Renee Caron, while Frances DiCapua leaves her technique on How To Get Your Man to Ruth Freidel. Since Peg Radley adores Jack Richardson's ability to drive, he leaves that skill to Peg . Speaking of cars, Jean Miller wishes to teach Virginia Race How to Drive a Car on wet pavements. Betty Wishon's motherly nature is taken over by Helen Wilber, while Gloria Walker's ambition is left to Doris DeVane. On the study list, we find that George Craft's cleverness in mathematics is left to Marilyn Williams, while Connie Bowes will no doubt welcome Kathleen Young's knowledge of French. Thomas Jones leaves with pleasure his ability to sleep in English IV Class to Bill Bur- rows, while James Hatch is teaching Fred Riven- burgh the technique of How to Skip Classes. Louise Teator leaves Pat Hartigan a few Army and Navy addresses, while Doris Hirt and Rita Hart, leave their secretarial skill to Gloria Brown. We find that Alice Van Buren likes to joke, so she leaves the ability to laugh it off to Pat Abrams. Speaking of merriment, Pee Wee Wilder leaves her giggles and freckles to Pauline Caron, while Betty Vogel leaves her sweetness and charm to Ruth Goodrich. l27l
