Or, in other words, This is where we pay back the F. H. S. faculty for three years of sweetness and light. To wit: 1. To our dear friend, Miss Williams, we leave, besides our love, a f'Handy-Andy Red Cross Kit, so that she may further investigate the claims of HI'm sick as a dog --I want to go home. 2. We give, devise and bequeath to the capable lunch room staff two things, name- ly: 1. A book, 'CHOW to Butter Bread in Six Easy Lessons, and if this fails-2. A time bomb. 3. To the eminent raconteur, Mr. Cur- tis fcrossing the barb Dooling, we leave a bigger shovel, for it is noticed that his stories and jokes ripen with age. 4. To Mr. Alton fif you passed my course you can call me joej Bush, we leave two phonograph records. The names of said records are Give Me Stout Hearted Men and I'll Never Smile Again. 5. To our jovial friend and principal, Mr. Mayo fMy Hair Is Growing Thinner All the Timej Magoon, we leave a bottle of cue ball polish, a towel and the gentle re- minder, It won't be long now, Mayo? 6. A little red scooter is to become the possession of Miss Mary Hobbs. This should, in other words, enable her to get around faster and accomplish much more. 7. To help combat the food shortage, the members of the Senior Play Cast leave behind all the eggs and corn which were so abundant on opening night. -4419 :nunlIIllullnlnnnllnullnuluru llll nunnlllum Wa!! 8. This year's football team leaves be- hind its victory over Milford to help prove the theory that nothing is impossible. 9. We, the baseball squad, leave to our coach, Mr. Daniels, a message. It goes: f'Cheer up, jack. Next year's bunch can't be any worse. Unquote. The following bequests are of an entire- ly personal nature: 1. I, Bruce Cnow don't tell me that red light is on againj Magoon, leave my jar of sunburn lotion to next year's goalie, with a fervent prayer that he will not be ex- posed to the burning red light as much as I was. 2. We, Killer Kane and Paul Flaherty, leave our cheer leaders' jackets to next year's cheer leaders for the miserly sum of E810 feachj, payable any time, any day, in the Hemenway Bowling Establishment, more familiarly called 'fThe Holef' 3.

We re-elected Robert Ablondi and Martha Boyle as President and Secretaryg and chose Jean Clinton, Vice-President, and Thomas Donnelly, Treasurer. just to show that our class had initiative, we went ahead and produced a Senior Play that really became a success. In i'Growing Painsi' the leading roles were taken by Luanne King and Bruce Magoon. Yes, all these events and those con- nected with graduation-the taking of the class picture, the Senior Prom, Class Night, the Music Festival, and Gradua- tion itself-will always be remembered in the hearts of the Class of 1945. As We leave Framingham High School with our diplomas, then and only then. shall we realize what it means-the true loss of our social gatherings, of our teach- ers, of all the good times that our class has had. Then, and only then, shall we see the signiiicance of going out and fighting in this war-torn world of bloodshed and de- struction, so that more people and more classes will be able to have and enjoy such splendid high school careers as our class. the UClass of 1945 has enjoyed.
