Item XI To Mr. Stewart we leave a new ventilating system so that when he sprays any disinfectant around in the upstairs corridors, it will cir- culate throughout the school and not remain in Room No. 4. Item I ARTICLE II Dick Bonci leaves his Ipana smile and sunny disposition to Robert Goyer, and also a tip, Laugh and the World Laughs With You, Weep and You Weep Alone. Item II Jim Bristol leaves his witty remarks and extemporaneous jokes to Paul Renault. He leaves these gifts in the hope that Paul will take good advantage of them. Item III Joan Rindfieisch leaves her quiet and reserved manner to all the incoming Sophomore girls. Heaven knows they need it. Item IV Bruce Phelps leaves his uproarious laughter to Chubby Goodale, although Chubby seems to have a style of his own. Item V A1 Anthony leaves his subtle way of deceiving the teachers so that he doesn ' t have to stay after school to Norman Gallagher. We really don ' t think you need this. Squash, (or do we?) Item VI Dick Novia leaves his quick timing on the basketball floor to Harold Phelps. This, together with Harold ' s height, will be a great asset for next year ' s squad. Item VII Barbara Spencer leaves her quick temper to Janice Phelps. It might be hard at first, Janice, but you ' ll get used to it. Also, she leaves her substitution work in the office to any girl whose ambition is to become the perfect secretary. Item VIII Pearl Jewett leaves her radiant smile to all the high school girls. Maybe with this smile the girls will be able to win more than one heart as Pearl has. Item IX Bob Derrah leaves his patents for airplanes, which might be found in Room No. 4, second row from the door, last seat, to Eddie Denton. We know that you ' re quite an expert on these already, Ed, but a few more suggestions may be of value to you.

QIg 44. iU We, the Senior Class of the Major Edwards High School of West Boylston, of the County of Worcester, Massachusetts, being indisputably of sound and disposing 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: Item I Item II Item III Item IV Item V Item VI Item VII Item VIII Item IX Item X ARTICLE I To Mr. Marshall we leave a soundproof office so that the future study pupils in Room No. 8 will not bother him. To Mr. Bixby we leave a recording of the pit-a-patter of our delicate little feet tramping about the corridors. We realize how much he must have missed these sounds during the past year. To Mr. Eaton we leave a book entitled How to Draw so that his future U. S. History classes will not be baffled by any sketches they may find on the board. To Miss Powers we leave two husky boys to move the milkcases after lunch period, namely Norman Gallagher and Norman Goodale. Now you won ' t have any excuse for interrupting fifth period study halls. To Miss Hollis we leave a list of activities so that her next year in West Boylston will be full of excitement. To Mr. Stubbs we leave a magnet so that he can draw back into Room No. 6 all students who do not find eighth period interesting. To Mrs. Carney we leave a cook book and soda-mints so that her newly acquired husband will not get indigestion from her culinary efforts. To Mr. Kelly we leave a soft pillow so that he will be much more comfortable sitting on the trunk while riding to and from basketball games. To Mr. Morrissey we leave a watch in order that his pupils may be able to go to lunch on time and not keep the upper-classmen waiting. To Mrs. Severance we leave our sincere appreciation for all the things she has done to make our school years happy and profitable.

Item X Niffie Hubbard leaves to Nancy Pibus the wearisome task of play- ing for the Junior and Senior High chorus. Now, you ' ll know how Niffie feels, Nancy. Item XI Ray Tenken leaves his well-groomed crew-cut to John Gillander. Get ready, girls; here he comes. Item XII Howie Johnston, God ' s gift to the women, leaves a photograph of himself for all future senior girls to admire. Item XIII Jeanette Deschenes, who has done so well as class secretary, leaves her great efficiency to Martha Bonci and her clearly written short- hand to Virginia Pyne. Item XIV Ann Pendleton leaves a card of bobbypins to John Natola. There will be no reason why you can ' t make that extra basket now, John. Item XV Millie Fallavollita leaves her ability to chew gum in any class without the teachers ' knowledge to any one who thinks she is as clever. The Senior Class leaves. We do hereby appoint our homeroom teacher, Mrs. Severance, and our principal, Mr. Marshall, as executors of this, our last will and testament. In testimony whereof, we have subscribed our names, this sixteenth day of June, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and forty-nine. Senior Class of Major Edwards High School.
