BLUE AND GOLD Earl Love’s ability to make love we leave to “June” Lauletta. This asset, with his “Chevy,” ought to make Junie’s senior year a great social success. The notes in the drawer of Room 6 belonging to “Sie” Frankenfield we bequeath to John Skilton. John won’t have to worry about writing notes next year for “Sie” has made sure there is enough to last at least for a few years. Emma Kohansby leaves her demure manner to Elvira Pagliaro. With Elvira’s black eyes and Emma’s manner she would become very popular around the school. Margaret Murray gives her “Love” to the world, in sincere hope that the world will appreciate him as much as she has this past year. To “Eddie” Longacre we leave “Bert” Riker’s horse laugh and his vacant expression, the morning after the night before. With this laugh and expression “Eddie” should become very well known as the manager of various teams. The height and executive ability of “Bill” Yocum we leave to Lindner Kolle. Lindner, we feel, won’t have much trouble in calling his class meetings to order with this height. And, with that of his own executive ability and Bill’s, we are sure he will have a successful year. To Elsa Nitteraurer we leave Sylvia Blasband’s knowledge. Elsa, with the knowledge you already possess and that of Sylvia’s you should find little trouble in having the honor conferred upon you as that of Sylvia. Vernon Vercoe’s quietness we leave to David Kauffman. 1 his should help Dave in becoming more quiet. The childish antics of Sydney McCloy we leave to Terrill McLean. Terrill should find little difficulty in becoming the clown of his class next year as “Syd” has done this year. To Katherine McCord we leave the boyish bob of “Dot” Vandegrift’s. Katherine, by next year, should be the knockout of the school. The beautiful blonde tresses and blue eyes of “Dot” Smith we leave to Ruth Giles. We hope, Ruth, that this will be as lucky for you in gaining a steady, during your senior year as they did for Dorothy. Jack Koch’s ability to orate we leave to Mildred Coulston. This should be a great asset with what ability Mildred already possesses. Surely Jack’s hair cannot be forgotten, so we leave this to anyone who is willing to take the great responsibility of keeping it combed, which in itself is quite an undertaking. Bessie Cabin leaves her tortoise shelled glasses to Jack Berk. Jack will find that this will help him gain better knowledge of his studies. To “Tony” Smolinski we leave Jane Kowalkowski’s ability to bring police to our borough, chasing her for speeding. Tony, with this help, the town should be fairly well policed next year. As yet it is unclaimed, we will to some poor junior Helen Webb’s position as an efficient Secretary to Mr. Oerman. May the one receiving this position be as successful as Helen. Also Helen’s height we leave to Nicholas Di Pallo. This asset should help Nicholas, so that he, too, may attract attention among the student body as Helen has done this year. To Robert “Perk” Smith we leave “Bob” Lukens’ ability to keep a girl and his great clowning habits. We feel sure “Perk” will need this to attract more attention in school and to hold on to his girl outside of school. Beatrice Wannop has consented to leave her ability to paint scenery to Walter Cubberly. Walter, we feel sure with this asset you should make a name for yourself in the art of scenery painting. Evelyn Phillips leaves her salesmanship ability to Hazel Rigg. Hazel, we feel sure will be heard in the future when it comes to selling, aided with this asset of Evelyn’s. Page Twenty-three

BLUE AND GOLD THE CLASS WILL BE it Remembered, That, We, the class of 1931, of the Conshohocken High School, of the Borough of Conshohocken, in Montgomery County, State of Pennsylvania, being of sound mind, memory, and understanding, do make, publish and declare this to be our last will and testament, hereby making void and worthless all former wills or promises by us at any time made, as carelessly spoken, one to another, as the thoughtless w'ish of an idle hour. These may seem as but trifling bequests, but we trust and hope that they may be accepted, not as worthless things thrown away, but as valuable assets to those who are fortunate enough to receive them and that they be continual reminders of the generosity of heart displayed on our free and full bestowal. We hereby do bequeath unto the Faculty the peace and quiet from one of the “w'orst” good classes that has ever been in the High School. Ve also desire that they would forget the many 60’s they have put down on our papers in trying to make out our hieroglyphics. The athletic ability of the class we leave to the entire High School. We feel sure they will uphold the various sports as we the class of “31” have done. Woodrow Becker’s ability to put on a “poker face,” after cracking a joke or saying a wise remark, we bequeath to Helen Griffith and Merrill Arnold. Helen and Merrill, with this great asset you certainly will be able to put some excellent jokes in next year’s Blue and Gold. The earnest friendship of Clara Caine and Elizabeth Ambler w'e leave to Rose Fulton and Elsie Ambers. We would sure hate to see Rose and Elsie part after being together for three long years. Donald Wessell’s knowledge of women we leave to Howard Rhoads. Howard, we feel, will now have a break with the women with this asset of Donald’s. To Mildred Murray we leave the droll w'ay of speaking of Merrill Metz’s. This ought to help Mildred slow down, so by next year, a few, at least, will understand what she is saying. Ralph Sponar leaves his ability to walk in Room 6 as the bell sounds, to Edna Marks. Edna will find this a wonderful way to keep that “charming figure” rather than follow' that of a dietician’s plan. The small stature of Sarah Congleton we leave to Clara Rodenbaugh. Clara , we are sure won’t be so conspicuous in the halls w'ith this asset. “Bounce” Bonkoski’s athletic ability we leave to George Albie Pettine. With Albie’s present ability and that of our most noted athlete we feel sure he won’t have any trouble in making the first team. Charles McCarron’s brief case and violin wre leave to Elizabeth Bourgeault. We know Charles has not given Betty anything, as yet, to remember him by. The two-mile walk of Eleanor Emens’s we leave to all the Juniors in sincere hope they won’t get here before 8.45 A.M. Mary Davenport leaves her ability to parade with a boy’s band to Sturgis Speaker. Mary hopes that by next year a girls’ band will be formed and Sturgis will parade and lead it. To William Herr we leave Margaret Funston’s ability to operate a farm. Bill, we know', should be a success as manager of his poultry farm. To Helen Davis we leave Amanda Herron’s beautiful black eyes. Now Helen will be able to do aw'ay with her glasses and should be able to attract some of Amanda’s numerous boy friends. Page Twenty-two

BLUE AND GOLD To Roger Chell we leave Millard Hippie’s ability, knowledge, and high marks in bookkeeping. Roger we feel sure in his senior year will have a great need for this ability. The studious nature and go-getting habits of “Ed” Trycinski we bequeath to the entire junior class. We hope that this will make a name for them as it has for us this year. To Dagmar Hansen we leave “Floss” Woznicki’s ability to roll her big brown eyes. Dagmar, together with your gift from Florence and your sweet demure baby like talk you should be able to create havoc among the boys in your class. Mildred Traister leaves her willowy form to Margaret Buler. We feel sure this will be a good asset to Margaret in these modern days when the slogan is “Keep that girlish figure.” Ruth Grauel’s great popularity and her charm over dark haired boys we leave to Elizabeth Davis. Surely with an asset like this, Elizabeth, you ought to be able to gain a great reputation. John Light’s ability to act, we leave to Hannabelle Neil. May Hannabelle be as much of a success in dramatics as John was during his high school days. The demure nature of Edna Gilmore we leave to Frances McGuigan. May it be of great benefit to you. “Joe” Sulkaski’s dancing ability we leave to “Bill” Nagelc and hope this will be a great help to Bill during his college career and also in entertaining himself at Washington as it did “Joe.” To “Dot” Heist we leave the many head bands of Elsie Tucker’s. This should be a great help in keeping your hair back when you are riding in that Chrysler. The hunting experiences of Ella Wolf’s we bequeath to Stella Sapieha. Stella, this will give you plenty of hair-raising experiences to write about in your stories for the next year’s Blue and Gold. “Tommy” Carter’s fair complexion and ability to blush, when talking to girls, we leave to Oscar Freas. We feel sure Oscar won’t have much trouble, then, in becoming the most popular boy among the girls. After much persuasion we finally convinced John De Vitis to leave his olive complexion to some one who could probably make more use of it. Therefore, we bequeath his olive complexion to “Peg” Derr. We feel sure with her charming figure, and this great asset, she won’t have much trouble in becoming the leading lady of the Operetta next year. To Charles White we leave Lester Abbey’s habits of teasing. Charles might even become greater in his habits with this asset of Lester’s. Doris Fillman’s gum we leave to Katherine Hart. This should save Katherine a great deal of expense next year. “Charley” Doran’s ability to run we bequeath to “Binkey” Fairlie. “Binkey” with this great help should find little trouble in becoming the track star of the school. To Alfred Bean we leave “Joe” Del Buono’s ability to make holes in the line at tackle. Together with your ability and that of Joe’s you surely ought to help in bringing a winning team next year. Anna Suvitsky leaves her ability to perform gymnastic dancing on the stage to Mildred Tarbutton. Mildred, with this asset, in next year’s operetta shopld be a great help in bringing amusement to the audiences. The brush and easel of Virginia Custer we leave to Verna Karr. We feel sure this asset will help Verna in the art of personal makeup. “Dick” Dalbey’s sleepy nature we bequeath to Anna Marks. We feel sure this asset will help bring Anna down to a more calm way of acting. Page Twenty four
