Item 3 — The Senior Class of Room 9 leaves to Miss Kathryn Mcglcy all the good gum that has gone into her wastebasket.

Item 7 — The Senior Home Economics Class leaves their deliciously prepared lunches. Item 8 — To the juniors, the seniors leave the right to have full control over the school next year, the honor, the prestige, and the dignity upheld by the brilliant class of 1946, all the pleasant things that go with being a senior, the good behavior of the seniors and their ability to study, and not least of all good old Room 9 and all therein. Item 9 — To the spohomores. the class leaves its good ideas, good nature, and sincere hopes that they will profit thereby. Item 10 — It leaves to the freshmen its initiative to help them out in their three more years of hard work.

Item 12 — The senior history classes leave to the in- coming history class their ability to give opinions and avoid committing themselves, also radio com- mentator, Mr. Cedric Foster of the Yankee Network News Service. 1 hen there are a few individual bequests: Anna Price leaves her corner .seat to anyone who wants to whisper occasionally, and her knack of jitter- bugging to any junior girl willing to spend her energy. George Polisson leaves his brilliancy in math to Albert Marcus. Edward Laurentz, who is going to answer the “Call of the Wild” the first chance he gets, bequeaths his love of nature to Sonny Wright. Elaine McIntosh bequeaths her piano technique to Helen Ellis. Rudolph Mosesso and Ralph Colby leave the honor of being safe and sane drivers to Robert Estabrook and Allie Richardson. Millie Tranter and Phyllis Taylor leave their office experience to the junior girls. George Wagner leaves his struggle to get 82 points to any unfortunate freshman.

Mildred Tranter leaves her singing ability to any likely candidate in the Junior Class. Beverly Paul, Mary White, and Anna Price leave their basketball superiority to the girls on the team.
