A. D. Higgins Junior High School ffllaaa W E, the Class of 1949, being of questionably sound mind and some- what broken health, do hereby designate this illegal document as our last, only, final will and testament whereby we sorrowfully dispose of our individual and collective interests, prop- erties, debts, etc., etc., to our fortunate associates and successors at that noble institution of higher and lower learning, A. D. Higgins School, as follows: 1. Mary Dighello, Claire Field and Harold Sullivan bequeath their noisy ways to Robertson Clark because he’s such a quiet little boy. 2. Walter Plander wills his love of books to next year’s Remedial Reading students. If they follow Walter’s steady diet of reading, they’ll soon be released from Remedial. 3. Pat Quinn leaves her day-dreams to Bill Cote although Bill already has his own supply. 4. William Higgins leaves his way of walking around trouble to John Hartley. This should make life much easier for John and for the teachers. 5. Melanie Walenta and Annetta Newmarker leave their blonde curls to Charles Cammillari and Clarence Rem- ington with permission for the boys to call themselves the Toni Twins. 6. Catherine Truiolo wills her roller skates to Richard Prayzner to speed up his frequent visits to the office. 7. Frances Rinaldi leaves her chatter- box tongue to Mary Nigro but warns her it may get her into trouble. 8. Nancy Pare and Betty Anne August leave their spelling talents to Fred Riley and Matthew Barone thus nominating them as Spelling Champions of 1950. 9. Margaret Smith bestows her rep- utation as an angel to Raymond Kasper- zak. We’re sure that Raymond will be a perfect little angel. 10. Joanna Gatto’s skill on the bas- ketball court goes to Gene Young in hopes that Gene will be the star of next year’s Youth Center Team. 11. Victor Gongola wills his quiet, gracious manners to Arthur Gerard with instructions to Arthur to work hard to equal his record for hours spent in the cloakroom. liiU 12. The Milkman Team of Evans, Zarcaro, Rypysc and Dymon leave their bottle duties to the best rattlers in 7A and hereby appoint Mrs. Fahey as judge of 7 A rattling ability. 13.

Now we know why Joe Louis gave up his heavyweight title. 16.
