ciate the gift. With it they shouldn ' t have any trouble getting home from their social events. David Cheever leaves his ability to get his English homework in on time to Robert Tashjian. Be careful with this gift, Robert. It may prove to be a boomerang. He also leaves a new copy of the Human Mind ' to Jimmie Bristol so that he may find some new solutions for old problems. Mary Giobellina leaves her ability to drive a truck to Edythe Petterson. With this Edythe ought to be able to get to school dances without using the bus. She also leaves her U. S. History seat to Ray Bancroft so he won ' t get into trouble, and will be able to get high marks. Harold Gordon leaves his ability to be excusably absent four days out of five to Dwight Goodale. To Barry Whitman he leaves his wavy hair and good looks. With both of these you ought to be able to attract almost any member of the opposite sex, Barry. Ruth Goodale leaves her seat in the office during and after school to Nancy Comfort. With this help, Mr. Goodnow ought to be able to leave school by 3:00 P. M. We hope you ' ll be as accurate and efficient as Ruth, Nancy. Robert Klar leaves his beard to any fuzzy -faced Freshman who wants to appear more manly. Bob leaves his marimba to Dot Simpson so it will stay in the family. Joan Orciani leaves her ability to tell jokes to Mary Anthony so that she may be the life of the party. To Janet Brackett she leaves her ability to get out-of-town boyfriends with cars. Myra Pfau bequeaths her ability to eat icebergs at lunch time to Jeanne Derrah. With this gift Jeanne will surely grow a few more inches. She also leaves her A marks in all subjects to Doris Geneva. Evelyn Prinsen leaves her singing voice to Joan Rindfleisch. Everyone will be looking forward to hearing Joan trill next year. She leaves her quiet manner to Carol Howe. Mary Roberti leaves her love for the Marines to Norma Lancey. We hope Norma may be able to use it. How about it, Norma? Margaret Teachout leaves her ability to play basketball to Jean Garside. 4 23 ]£»

Class Will We, the senior class of Major Edwards High School, of the County of Worcester and the State of Massachusetts, being indisputably of sound mind and memory and about to pass out of existence, do make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament, hereby revoking any and all former wills by us at any time heretofore made: First, to Mr. Goodnow the senior girls leave two cents, the cut he de- manded as his share of the basketball tips. To Mrs. Severance we leave a simplified English IV course in order that future senior classes who will lack the mental ability equal to that of the class of ' 46 will be able to pass. To Mr. Namen we leave Teddy Roosevelt ' s original big stick for his use in the 6th period study hall. To Miss Maguire we leave a 1946 automobile to help her solve her transportation problems. To Miss Sullivan we leave a package of lettuce seeds so that next year M. E. H. S. won ' t have to go without salads. To Mr. Stanton we leave a list of vacant apartments so he won ' t have to tramp around in the winter looking for a place to live. Mildred Allen bequeaths her love of study to any incoming Freshman who desires it, and her ability to attract ex-servicemen to Barbara Wilder. Elizabeth Buck leaves her secret formula for attracting sailors to Mary Natola. Perhaps with this gift, Mary will be able to win a sailor. Who knows? Buckie also bequeaths her spectacles to Lois Arnold so that she can keep track of what is going on. Pauline Comfort leaves her contagious giggle to Evelyn Thomas. To Janet Brackett she leaves her desire to go to the dances on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Joseph Curtin leaves his car to any of the Junior girls that would appre-

With this gift, Jean .without a doubt, will be high scorer next year. She also leaves her ability to talk in school time and get caught to any silent sophomore. Edgar Whitcomb leaves his desire to tease the girls to Robert Swenson. To Wayne Downer he leaves his smooth dancing technique. The whole Senior Class leaves Roger Grover all the love poems they have learned this year so that if he ever gets tongue tied in the presence of a great affection , he can say it in poetry . In Witness Whereof, we have hereunto subscribed our names and affixed our seals this Twentieth day of June, 1946. The Seniors of Major Edward ' s High School.
