' Frank Korycki leaves his admiration for the fair sex to-james Har- greaves who is somewhat of a woman-hater himself, and his healthy out- ,door look to James Williams. ' LeRoy Duncan, having not yet decided whether or not to leave this in- stitution, the cares of the world being too heavy for his puny shoulders, leaves his favorite seat in the library to Horace Hyman: his ambition and el- oquent voice to Robert Galaher, and his favorite cereal for growing ,children to Douglas McCormack. Viola DeNault leaves a pair of shears to Mildred Dill, just in case she ever has to cut her hair which by the way is the envy of many of the per- manent wave addicts. Phyllis Keating leaves her preference for older type of men to Ruth Drummond. Ann Moore leaves her ability to get along with anyone and everyone to Rose McEvoy, who is a worthy successor. Lawrence Higginbottom leaves his ability to get along with all teachers to Robert Sanborn but advises him to take it easy because they all get fed up sooner or later with childish ways. Fred Phelan leaves his smoothness on the dance floor to Jackson Hayman.

V Harry Cohen leaves his artistic soul to Mason Downing and his slightly radical ideas to VValter Frederick. ' Bruno Kasheta leaves his ability to bluff through many classes Qwith the help of willing friendsj to NValter Roberts.

Mary Greenler leaves Mary VVilcox some good advice on how to study, this method being tried and proven successful. If it doesn't work, Mary . we'l1 say that the Boxford air must have something to do with it. john Kane leaves to the entire Junior class his ingenuity and dramatic ability which enabled the Senior class to make a success of a Stunt Night ex- hibition which might have been a Hop otherwise.

I thought of turned for them. my former schoolmates and wondered how the wheel of fortune had Here I was, the president of the Trans-Atlantic Air Lines, wondering if my schoolmates had fared as well as I. The plane swiftly began to descendg land was in sight. XVe soon landed on the tarmac of New York's largest air- iport. My pilot taxied the plane to one of the hangars, so that mechanics could refuel and inspect it. p Alighting from the plane, my gaze wandered to a greasy-faced-mechanic approaching. Familiar features aroused my suspicions as to .who he might be, yet it could be unbelievable, but to my amazement the mechanic. was no other than John Curtin. After a short conversation in which he told me he was married and also a proud father, he also told me his close chum Henry Martin was a famous aeronaut in the army, which I thought was a suitable position for him, because he was very much interested in army life while a student at Johnson High. Strolling around, I saw a blond fellow who was peacefully sleeping under the carriage of a plane. Glancing a second time I recognized under a beard of a few days' growth, my former backfield mate, Bruno Kasheta. Awaking from his sleep he recognized me and told me that he was waiting for some person to give him a ride back to North Andover. From further inquiry I' learned that he was just Finishing his trip around the world. I invited him to fly with me to North Andover. On the way we grinned and groaned while talking over our high school days. ' - After landing, we went into the cafe for lunch. VVe learned that Ralph Joyce and Irene LaPrelle had formed a partnership and were making a profit- able business. Vtlhile enjoying my java I scanned the North Andover Times, and found that Carl Olson was the owner of this paper and had established it with Rita Rand as the editor, for she had successfully carried out her school ambition to become a great editor. Turning to the second page, my eye caught an interesting advertisement, Reduce by McNally's Easy Method. My eye gazed to a conflicting adver- tisement: Increase your Weight by taking Miss McLay's New Vitamin Compounds. 'Looking further into the paper on the theatrical page, I saw that Bronis- law Polichnowski was giving a violin recital at Stevens Hall, after a success- ful tour in Europe. He was to be accompanied at the piano by the inimjitable pianist Eleanor Robertson. . I also noticed that john L. Kane jr. was making his first appearance as a comedian under the supervision of Evelyn Bunker, at the Half Moon Night Club, owned and operated by Deborah Stillings, Kathleen Smith and Yvonne Vaudenhecke. The music for the floor show was to be furnished by the local jazz band consisting of Robert Riley, Stanley Vtfard, George Casserly and Fernley Wilcox. ' if ' Laying the paper aside, I wandered out of the cafe and' hailed a taxi. Af- ter I had seated myself, the driver, with a big grin. asked mewhere I wanted to go. Then and there I recognized Lawrence Higginbottomywho told he he 4 27' Q
