Alice leaves her class explosions to the Twins. Kathy gives her Charlotte reputation to Maggie Woods. Advice: Carry on! Sunny gives the flowers in her hair to inspire the feebler members of the Faculty garden. The mirrors of Dabney will henceforth reflect the fair form of Jean Ruffin instead of Mary Mateer. Pony leaves her poodle to Miss Andrus, to be a playmate for Sandra. Sylvia Morss's Castles in the Air are now lend-leased to Miss Gross. In the meantime, the athletic Eleanor Owens is left helplessly with Polly Page's all-powerful hockey technique. Sally Palmer's jive countenance is left to Nonie Ogg. Ginny Penney lends her brother to help put over at least ten more years of Chatham dances. Ann Robinson's admirable practicability is bequeathed to the school's original absent-minded professor, Vicky. Marty Lu Blankarn, having been left Beverly Smith's Byrd cloth jacket, will now have something new to wear riding. Stanley gives Homer to Mo so that she may at last have a horse her own size. Sandy leaves her dignified antiquity to Flavia. Tay leaves her place by the radio listening to F. S. every Saturday night to the enamored Moose. Petey gives her angel face to joan Farish. Farish needs it quite urgently. Wheeler gives her Exeter pillow to Southgate, who really wants it. Sally Witt leaves horses, horses, horses. Last, but not least, Babs leaves her inexhaustible volubility to some unsuspecting ear. And, you may ask, what will I945 be like, with all these sterling ingre- dients? We have the answer to that. It will be tremendous, it will be sensa- tional, it will be terrihc. f x L FLA S' st at fire ,l 'PK ., ,, 22

they would be rather too chilly for Norway. Betty Bidgood gives Pannill her baby bob. Explanation: strong women have been seen to writhe on the floor in paroxysms of rage at sight of Pannill's long, wavy locks. Britt leaves her boom- ing bass to Carol High C Sperry. Now she can have the entire scale to play with. Betty Brown leaves the bi-weekly report list minus her name. just won't seem like the same old piece of paper, will it? Pam Burden leaves her refined and nice accent to Sara Kincey, whose tones represented the Deep South in person. That sad look on Miss Denniston's little dog's face has not passed unnoticed. How unutterably overjoyed he will be to find that he is not for- gotten, for Pat Butterfield has left him the Scottie on her notebook. Cookie leaves her loose-limbed, drifting walk to supplement l-lutch's rocky way of going through life. There is something so comforting about the soothing sawing of a yo-yo going up and down the halls that Elaine was per- suaded to leave hers to Sally. Family tradition will carry on the atmosphere. There has been a rumor in circulation that Katie Etter has never been west of Bethlehem fPa.J. This state of affairs cannot be allowed to go on, so Lea Cumings leaves her globe-trotting to Katie. Sue Deering bequeaths her boisterous, hail-fellow-well-met manner to that quietest, most self-effacing, little lady in the school, Beverly Brady. Those terse, tense, efficient announcements in assembly Denny abruptly leaves to Motley Morehead. The Bootery Committee should be highly honored. Toni Etter gladly leaves Tommy's hardware, but not Tommy. Lindsay leaves her unwashed S. P. S. Bowling shark to add a note of sophistication to Sylvia Morton's black dress. In these times of stress, Jean Ford leaves her anti-aircraft laugh to Harriet fLady Haw-Hawl Matthews. Frankie leaves her honored place of breezing along at the head of the hikes to .Ioanie Williams. Mike bequeaths that room with the lived-in look to Pat Pyke. Cally and Patty leave their room-need we say more? Janet Hartwell generously gives her tight-rope technique to McNutt, the squirrel. Midge leaves her exquisite penmanship for those undecipherable enigmatic pink scraps of paper signed HA. E.. T. Carol Vreeland will never again have to resort to shoes made out of bedroom slippers now that Margot has left her a few of her many pairs. Johnnie leaves the piggy bank to further finance Third Pruden of a Sunday. Pat Kenway's artistic touch will be gratefully received by James Thurber. Rita gives her bracelets with the constant jingle, jangle, jingle, back to their owners. Peggy Lucas refuses to leave the Marines to Miss Leaning. 21

SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Ten years hence in fifty-four We find ourselves at Katy's door. Travel's fast and in one day All of us can reach Norway. Q The smell of fresh Norwegian fare C heerily pervades the air, And Beverly Smith is heard to say She'll put of her diet one more day. Wheeler heaves a heavy sigh As she lets the food pass by. Miss New Hampshire is her aim: Pounds will spoil this road to fame. The children are given into Ford's care To keep them from mischief anywhere. She herds them fondly out of harm's way, And superintends them as they play. Syl, who's the head of a Sunday School, Helps Ford with those who are hard to rule. And comparing their views they find they agree On punitive measures to lenient degree. There by the window P. K. stands, With her sketch book in her hands, Enraptured by Norwegian scenery, Painting snow and evergreenery. Upon a mount a cloud of snow she sees. 1t's Susie Deering trying out her skis. She, renowned champion of the Slolum course Prepares to challenge the skill of the Norse. Britt comes in with blushing pride, Now a modest, fluttering bride. Her man at last has come along, And he's, you guessed it, big and strong. 2:1 1,9 B-4,1 ,Q Qk r
