22 THE LAWRENCIAN Class Will of 1939 Mary Cobb — Phyllis Studley — Jean Morrison B E IT REMEMBERED that we, the Class of 1939, of the Lawrence High School of Falmouth, in the Commonwealth of Massa- chusetts, being of sound mind and memory, but knowing the uncertainty of this life, do make this our Last Will and Testament. After the payment of our just debts and Commencement charges, we bequeath the resi- due of the treasury to the junior class and advise that they be more prompt in paying class dues than we were. To the student body as a whole, the Class of 1939 wills all the traditions of Lawrence High School, to treasure and keep untarnished. To Simmons, Mixer, Hatch, and Barry of the Class of 1940, Joe Spooner and Ralph Long leave their ability to stir up trouble without getting mixed up in it. To Muriel Gediman is willed Eleanor Irish’s outstanding literary ability, with the provision that Miss Gediman promise to do as well as Eleanor. Virginia Hall and Elwood Mills bequeath their athletic prowess to Connie DeMello and Jimmie Wright, respectively. Frannie Cahoon leaves her large wardrobe, in trust, to her sister, Becky”. Ted Economides leaves his romantic and playful spirit to anyone who cares to be burdened with it. Betsey and Phyllis Studley entrust their highly prized sisterly love” to Polly and Marion Lord, and their interest in the laundry business to anyone who is interested. Art Robichaud refuses to leave anything. All he wants is to leave. Johnny Corey leaves his dimples to Lester Crane. If they don ' t become you, Lester, you can always transfer them to your elbows. Casanova” Cassidy leaves his role to Wesley Bourne. Harry Richardson, the blushing rose”, leaves a box of powder to Dick Barry to cover Dicks’ blushes. He’s little, he’s wise, He’s a terror for his size.” Buddy Miskell leaves this poem to Lanky” Soule. John Tait leaves his ability to sleep any where at any time to those who go to Wash- ington next Spring. Phyllis Studley, Sweet Varsity Sue”, leaves her college boyfriends to Melvina Crosby. Re- member, Melvina, the larger the collection the more stamps you have to buy. Big hearted Alis Parker leaves ten pounds to Nancy Baker. It’s all right to take it, Nancy, Alis can spare it. Anita LaBonte leaves the care of Junior to anyone who will take the job, but remember, when she’s home, hands off! Mr. Marshall, our beloved principal, who followed us over from Junior High School we have to leave behind, because he can no longer keep up with us! We, the girls who went to Washington, hereby bequeath to Miss Allen’s department, our acquired accents (Southern, Brooklyn, an.l Harvard ) . George Joe Duck” Stevenson, the sheik ( ? ) of the class, leaves that scram” look to those many Junior boys who are bothered by the girls. Jean Morrison, that generous girl, leaves angora wool all over the place, and to anyone to whom it has become attached. Mary Ferreira leaves her speaking ability and finger nails to Lila Haram, providing Lila can remember the points. (Both of speech and fingernails). Deda” Judd leaves her tube of lipstick to Connie DeMello. Don’t forget to use it, Con- nie. You 11 be a big, grown-up Senior next year! Mary Cobb leaves her role as a conversa- tionalist to Charlotte McKenzie. You’re doing a good job, Shrimp”, but you will have to go some to beat Mary! Virginia Hall leaves the paper she didn’t use to write to Worcester during 5th periods to the History Classes because they will need it and more too! Barbara Berg, Bernard ine Sabens, and Muriel Robertson bequeath their privilege to hold hands after school to those young hopefuls who linger in the main room at the close of the day seeking a few precious moments to- gether. However, don’t take advantage of this privilege. The woolen scarf and overcoat, worn by Elmer Sylvia to Washington, is bequeathed to Everett Dunham. Don’t catch cold, Everett! In testimony whereof we hereunto set our hands and in the presence of three witnesses declare this to be our last will this thirteenth day of June in the year one thousand nine hundred and thirty-nine.
