We, the ancient and wise seniors of Major Edwards, being of sound minds and bodies, if that’s possible, after soaking up twelve year’s worth of wonderful learning, do hereby bestow upon all our unworldly and unsuspecting successors, our last Will and Testament. To Mr. Pulsifer the senior class leaves our sincere hope that you will enjoy your stay at M. E. H. S. To Mr. Marshall we leave our hopes for a new high school com- plete with a private secretary for him to make out late slips for tardy pupils. To Miss Dand we leave our best wishes for a happy and success- ful marriage. To Mr. Lepore we leave our appreciation for his helpfulness in our last yea r here. To Miss Hollis we leave a brilliant class of incoming Seniors who will, we hope, absorb all the bookkeeping she teaches, and a new version of Effective Business English written by the Class of 51. To Mrs. Gagel we leave a plan for a new modern kitchen for her home economics classes. To Miss McKeon we leave a loud speaker so that she can be heard above the roar of her 7th and 8th grade pupils. To Mr. McNaney and Mr. Kelly we leave our sincerest thanks for all they have done to help us during our stay at M. E. H. S. To Mrs. Hamilton we leave a new bus to transport her U. S. His- tory Class to points of interest in early American History. Oh Yes! We are also leaving her the fifty cents Bob Parkin has owed her for two years. To Miss Topham we leave the best of luck with her next year’s basketball team. To Mr. Alisch we leave an address book filled with girls’ names, addresses and telephone numbers. This, of course, is so when he writes out his Christmas cards he’ll know where to send them. To Miss LaFontana we leave a new piano that she can carry around from school to school. Esther Davis leaves her quietness to Jane Flagg. Be careful Jane, because if this isn’t taken in small doses, the shock may prove to be disastrous. Eleanor Pedini leaves her dark hair and eyes to Judy Anderson.

QlcM Date: 1956 . . . Place: Eddie Shaw’s Restaurant . . . Subject: Class Reunion Scene Opens: The class is seated at a large banquet table, chatting and laughing. When the Senior Class of 1951 graduated, they planned to have a reunion in five years. We are now at the reunion. Let me introduce you to the members of that unforgettable class. Here are Eddie Shaw and Esther Davis, the co-owners of the fine restaurant. Eddie does all the cooking while Esther takes orders and waits on customers. That intelligent looking man seated over there is none other than Alden Downer, who has the reputation of being the shrewdest businessman on Wall Street. With him is part of his office staff — Carole Manna and Ginny Pyne. Ginny is his receptionist and Carole is his private secretary. Over there is Chubby Goodale. He is top salesman for the Fuller Brush Com- pany. His assistants are Rose Salluce and Priscilla Buck. They line up prospective customers and Chub gives them a sales talk that will sell anything. That’s Shirley Cameron who swims professionally. Seated with her is her coach, Jim Beshai. Her publicity manager is that fellow with his head buried in his plate — Bob Parkin. Beside Bob, Milly Davis sits. She is entering her last year at school where she is learning to be a veterinarian. Let’s see now. Who’s that nice looking navy man? Why it’s Billy Manna! He always did like navy life. Bill tells us that he is making it a life-time career. This is Eddie Denton of Denton and Son Electrical Appliances. Eddie is married now and is also a successful businessman. Beside Ed is Robert Goyer, who is a famous scientist. His fame was rocketed forth with an experiment that almost completely destroyed his laboratory, along with his house. You all remember Irene Southworth. She is office manager in a huge business establishment here in town. This empty chair beside Irene’s chair belongs to one member of the class who couldn’t be here tonight. He is in the Air Force, but I’m sure you all know and remember him- -Charlie Fitch. Now here are Richie Morrow and the former Peggy Bavosi. Peg was Irene’s private secretary, but retired a few months ago because she married a wealthy customer she met while working. Richie is a well-known auctioneer, and believe me, he really can sell things ! Well, well. Look at this girl. It’s Eleanor Pedini ! Elly is now manager at the Loew s Poli Theater. To think that only a few years ago she was just a candy-girl there. We knew she’d make a success. It looks as though the last one seated here is the former Josephine LaComfora, who was married soon after she graduated. There are some other people who aren’t here tonight. Two of them were class- mates who went to Edwards until their Junior Years. — Richard Rhindfleisch and Mildred Leschke. Richie is a carpenter now, and Milly is the secretary to the owner of a large market. There were others who didn’t graduate with the class, but we hear they are all quite successful. Richard Lyon, Ralph Doe, John Ivashek, Marilyn Williams, John Rotti, Robert Gambaccini, Gail Story, and William Harthan. I forgot to introduce myself. I was the class advisor of this remarkable class. Mr. Lepore.
