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.

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.
