PGi Ee et Be Ltr AND Wate leaks The Will of the Class of 19393 We, the class of 19393, being possessed of a sound state of mind at the present time, do hereby bequeath the following: To Miss Spaulding we give thanks for her help and advice and we want her to know how sorry we are that she couldn’t be with us at the end. To Mr. Hill, our respected principal, we leave our sincere appreciation for his assistance and sage words of advice. To our patient advisors, Mr. Smith and Mr. Finn, we leave a large box to hold the detention slips they didn’t pass out. Ruth Smith leaves her expressive eyes and her ability to use them to get around teachers to Barbara Orr who, we are sure, will use them to good advantage. Maurice Lawlor leaves his experience in Home Prob- lems to any boy who is interested in making [or breaking up] a home. Shirley Simes leaves the Assembly Hall echoing with the tattoo of her talented taps. Marion Billings leaves her invaluable collection of stamped, signed and delivered notes from home to fit every occasion to Barbara Calderwood the better to fa- cilitate her unconventional exits from study rooms. Miriam Rice, Lois Dolan, and Dorothy O’Connell leave a strangely quieter study hall [218, 2nd period] much to the relief of the nearby students. Doris Johnson leaves her glamorous nails to Henny Moran with the stipulation that she is not to use them for dirt-digging. To George Leary, Ed Harrigan leaves his reserved seat in the detention room. Eileen Leary leaves her flute-like soprano voice to a female member of the Glee Club who is interested in melting Miss Clark’s heart. To the student body Lorraine Hornish leaves a book entitled, ‘‘Plausible Sounding Excuses for All Occa- sions,’’ which she has found very useful during her stay at Classical. Lucille Charnock leaves her collection of frat pins to any girl who has tried to win hearts at Springfield College and has given up. Helen Higgins leaves her sunny smile to Jane Cald- well, but only on condition that she won't try to dazzle unsuspecting little freshmen with it. Ruth Rosoff and Gertrude Papy leave their enviable records to the annals of the school and challenge anyone to top them. Ted Progulske requests that we just let him leave. Dorothy Jefferson leaves her pep and buoyancy to Olga Davis so that she can come to school with an air of wide-awake interest. Alice Mayer leaves a dull ache in the heart of many underclassmen which Helen Marchese may be trusted to alleviate. David Robbins leaves his quiet manners and hushed voice to Ernest Walen, whose need of them is obvious, Bernice MehIman, the sweetheart of AZA, leaves her pass to the Fraternity Meetings to Norma Magidson. John Foley leaves an engraved motto ‘Ambition should be made of sterner stuff’? and the memory of his long career at Classical as a solemn warning to Don Watson. Alberta Benhard leaves her unfailing good temper and courtesy and her charming smile to Suzanne Hagler, who is the only one we know worthy of taking Alberta’s place. Horace Borden leaves his athletic scholarship to Fred Zanetti who is an athlete without scholarship and leonard Sommer who is a scholar without athletics, suggesting that they get together and go to town. Alfredo Cavicchioli leaves his claims on the Faculty’s Collective Heart to Charlie Phillips, who could do with a little more T. A. [Teacher-Appeal ]. Leon Rivchin, our basketball star, leaves his skill as a hooper to Bob Karp, in exchange for his propensity for hooping it up. Jane Bliss leaves that magic oil that enables her to squeeze out of tight places to John Connor. Harold Davidson leaves his pessimistic attitude to Sam Hunter who also goes by the theory that if you expect the worst, the best will happen. George Parr leaves hiS certificate, now hanging in Mrs. Buzzell’s office, as Classical’s Principal Social Lion to Scott Edwards. Edward Logan leaves part of his inexhaustible supply of hot air to Ed Sullivan. Richard Fredette leaves his caustic tongue to the three Johns, Fitzgerald, Fitzgerald, and Mahoney, Inc., whose only trouble is excessive good nature. Joseph Elim leaves his candid camera to Ieonard Plotkin, who will carry on the Master’s tradition. James Keenan leaves his much bethumbed copy of Romeo and Juliet to Elizabeth Flanagan and Roger Kelleher. Skippy Powell leaves her diplomacy at handling Mr. Cook to Bingie Clark, who has not yet developed the finesse needed in such embarrassing situations. Edith Armstrong leaves the memory of her bright smile as adhesive tape for a plaster cast, if necessary] for those broken hearts. We leave a handbook of ‘‘1oo1 Slightly Used Methods of Getting Out of Detention” to anyone who spends most of his or her [or its, we do not believe in excluding anyone because of gender] time in the lockup. The 1oo1st way, if you are interested, is by the window route. Any of our class who is [1] male, and [2] capable of shaving, leaves his trusty razor to anv sucker who wants to try committing Suicide by Means of ‘Arterial Sec- tion. It is, of course, a safety razor. Signed, sealed, and attested this day of January, 1940. Haro p Davipson, Chairman PuHy.Liis PowELL EDWARD LOGAN —24—
