CLASS WILL We, the senior class of 1946, depart from our alma mater, never again to return for our regular doses of the basic prescriptions of life, the 3 r's.', In making our annual exit, we wish to leave behind all those characteristics which have marked our two-and-ten-year career of sage, satire, and scholastic endeavors. These outstanding traits, accomplishments, habits, and what-have-you are unconditionally bequeathed to the underclassmen who fProvi- dence and teachers, spare themll will some day reach their ultimate goal. Eddie Chuhran bequeaths the dubious plea- sure of sitting next to Miss Keefe in assembly to Jack Whelan. To Bessie Stavros, Shirley Gordon none too reluctantly grants her stool at BroWn's Dairy Store. Dolores Rentler bows out as head cheer- leader to make room for Lucille Macauley. To John Latsko, we leave the bashful ways of Donald Skelley. Eddie Miller grudgingly cedes his escape hatch, the seat nearest the door, to George Miller. The Pepsodent smile of Doris Verbe is expropriated in favor of Fern Hamilton. Mary Kovaly leaves her broken fingernails and Underwood wonders to Norene Seibert. Andy Stegon, the rumored cause of the hair tonic shortage, bequeaths his unruly hair to Bill Kucic. To the office and faculty members, Connie Thomas presents an 8 by 10 , tinted and framed, photo of himself. l Lois Novak leaves her pert answers and turned-up nose to Ruth Ann Horvath. To Bill Gershuny, James Knapp, our master of mathematics, bequeaths his slide rule. Olga Bohince donates a two-year supply of vim, vigor, and vitamin pills to Mary Papoulas. To Jake Sunny', Biestel, we leave the Astaire antics of Mike Papalazarous. Clo Wehrle dispatches a bulging bundle of serviceman's scrawls to Terry Shiber. To Anthony De Paulo, we leave Ken Doren- camp's bowling book on expert throws. ' The pinnacle of jitterbug fame is prepared for Charlotte Jungo as Germaine Mulroy tapers of to a lady-like two-step. To the already well-encumbered Robert Uram, we leave Al Kuklewskils inconspicuous knowledge. Lois Simon, the blonde bombshell from 208, bequeaths a supply of peroxide to Lorraine Haley. To Hot Lips, Kenny Polasko, we surren- der Earl Young's licorice stick solos. Rita Barno imparts her studious habits to Frances Mocker. Stanley Graham, our 6' 1 football master, leaves his old plays to equally lofty Paul Nanasi. Lastly, we leave Shirley Ronin as pianist for the Dreamers Swing Band. In proof of these statements, we witnesses do hereby affix the oficial seal of the Senior Class. Thomas Halabtlrka, President Rita Barno, Secretary -23- 5. an
