Qtass, Witts We, the class of 1951, from Room 2, Leicester 1 ligh School, Town of Leicester, County of Worcester, State of Massachusetts, being men¬ tally handicapped due to studies at L.H.S. and having deformed bodies because there are no elevators do on this unfortunate day by this will and testament bequeath all our worldly goods to our teachers, friend or foe, for their words of advice, to the underclassmen for their understanding and funds, and to anyone else who cares to listen. We do hereby make, pub¬ lish, and declare the following to be our last will and testament. To Mr. Tierney — Whereas it is customary for pupils to produce a warm spot in the heart of their superinten¬ dent, we as a class have always been different whereas we have produced a gray spot on your head, and whereas hair dve has proven to be unsuccessful we do, therefore, leave you a can of brown paint to carry you through the year. To Mr. Skelley — Since you are an outstanding character at L. H.S. you should stand out from everyone else, so we are leaving to you this suit with a guaran¬ tee that there is not another like it in the world. Miss Harmon — Since our funds won’t allow us to buy you a house near the school we are leaving you these rollers to put on your suitcase so that you can roll the Senior money to school everyday. Mrs. Brown — To you we leave this stuffed animal so that you can have another good excuse to play with your grandchild. Mr. Eager — Through all your sweat and toil we have but one thing left for you, the remaining “Maroon” bill and a bottle of headache tablets. Miss Frye — To you we leave this typing eraser for the Arrow Staff to make good use of. A4r. Boule — To you we leave this stool on which you can rest your feet because desk draws are hard to find. Miss Scanned — To you we leave something to add to your memories. Here are four mechanical toys to replace your four Senior basketball stars. Mr. Noone — We are suppose to leave everyone something of interest and since your car is your prize possession we leave to you this car washer mitt. Miss Helen McPartland — To you we leave this small file box so that you can keep track of all P. M. slips because we never want it to be said that our secretary’s slip is showing. Mr. Madden — So that you may be certain to have no difficulty with the senior financial accounts we do hereby leave you this accurate mathematical compto¬ meter. Miss Christine McPartland — This is something you have been waiting for. Here is a table with a lovely linoleum cover. Mr. Comer — We leave to you these boxing gloves but only on the condition that you’ll give them to your son for his protection. Miss Cl otty — To you we leave this cow bell to wear around your neck to warn all students of your arrivals, and also this pot holder for your hope chest. Mr. Hill - We leave to you this whip so that you may manage the eighth graders next year. Miss Audette — To you we leave these “spikes” so that you may tower over all your students. Mr. Hopkins — We leave you this old rag-time band as a new group for music at L.H.S. Mrs. Vernon — To you we leave this magnifying glass so that you may easily detect any germs left in L.H.S. by the class of 1951. Mr. Dorr — We leave to you this mop and pail and hope that it will help you in cleaning up after we leave. Mrs. Melendy — To you we leave this can of Cranberry Sauce to help you out on turkey days.
