CLASS WILL By ROBERT MORRIS We, the Class of 1940, being about to pass out'of this sphere of education, in full possession of well-trained faculties, and almost superhuman understanding, do make and publish this our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all former wills or promises hy us at any time heretofore made. To Mr. Crosley, our supervising principal, Dr. Woolson, our principal, and our Senior Advisers, we give and bequeath our sincere affection, our deepest rever- ence, our heartiest gratitude, and the whole unlimited wealth of our eternal memory of the four years through which they have guided us. To the faculty, who have been our instructors in all the wisdom of the ages, we bequeath a sweet and unbroken succession of restful nights and peaceful dreams. No longer need they lie awake through the long watches of the night worrying over the un- certainty of whether this one is doing her homework or that one will have his assignment in morning class. It has been a hard strain on them, for Seniors are said to be at all times and under all conditions difhcult to manage. They have all done their duty, however, and verily now shall they have their well-earned reward. To the Junior Class we leave our most coveted prize, namely the honor of occupy- ing the front seats in the Auditorium. May they endeavor to hll them as advan- tageously, as promptly, and as faithfully as we have done. We also leave them our dignity, good sense, punctuality. and industry so that they may become as fine a class as we have been. To the present sophomores, we bequeath the honor of being upper-classmen and the privilege of acting as guardians of the incoming students who may be heckled by the newly grown-up freshmen of l94-0. To the freshmen, we grant the grand and glorious times that our class has had during the past four years. Wye hope that they will make the best of them because very shortly they will be facing the time of graduation. To the incoming Freshman class, we drop the hint to stop being bashful heaux and blushing lassies and advise them to get into the swing of high school activities as they will find them the best time of their lives. Be it hereby known that all members of the Senior Class generously, with charity for all and malice toward none, bequeath the following belongings to un- derclassmen to help them in the pursuit of happiness: Marion and Myra Stille bequeath their ability to get their names mixed to Lorana and Rosalind Kahn. Francis Embley, Charles Robinson, and Audrey Gifford leave their friendly ways to Raymond Waters, Melvin Underhill and Emily Gunderson. Marian Jensen leaves her ability to stand on her two feet to Jeanne Bennett. Doris Haven and Sam Franklin grant their ability to get along with each other so well to Jane VanSickle and Bert Ehret. James Miller and Peggy Royael leave their shy ways to Irma Jackson and Bruce Cutler. Kay Sprague, Joan Wilson, and Earl Heyniger grant their fine personalities to Clara Mueller, Dalrcy Scudder, and Louis Donato, not that they need them but that they may be a help. Patricia Whelan and Elise Crane grant their sophistication to Mildred Porterfield and Esther Lemansky. Aliene Goss leaves her office practice ability to Anne Collins and Arline Walker. Dan Williams bequeaths his ability to go steady to Bob Scisco. Molly Fraley and Ruth White leave their good nature to Mary Vanderhoven and Vernon Bailey, provided they profit thereby. James McGreevey, Edward Palmer and Frank Newman grant their ability to study sixteen hours a day to James Dorey, Yvonne Brennan,, and Bill Canfield. Louise Thompson and Harold Longyear leave their height to Mary Madonna and the Larrison twins. Greta Morris bestows her soprano voice upon Adelade McCarthy. Marie Tracy leaves her bashful and retiring ways to Emma Walzer. Fourteen

THE TREASURE CHEST Pant II By MARIAN STILLE The following September brought us back to school proud to be members of the Junior Class. How important we felt! Again we elected our officers for the term with the following results: President, Earl Heynigerg Vice President, George Rogersg Secretary. Samuel Frankling Treasurer, Claire Fiasconaro. With members of our class dropping out we had Miss Smith. Mr. Oxenford, Mr. Ciricolo and Mr. Petrokubi as homeroom and class advisers. Our play, NMama's Baby Boyv, was a great success. Here we saw the girls in hair-ribbons and sho'rt dresses. and the boys in short trousers. blouses. and black satin bows. It was a play never-to-be forgotten by those who witnessed its perform- ance. At this season we chose our class rings which arrived in time for Christmas and were greatly admired by all. Several movie benefits were given at the Algonquin Theatre and during those weeks many of the homerooms enjoyed theatre parties. Five students of our class succeeded in being elected to the Honor Society, an otrganization all strive to enter. Many students participated in the orchestra, band. glee clubs, and other clubs of the school. Our Junior Year almost at an end was climaxed by the Junior Prom. 'a farewell to the Seniors. The gymnasium was decorated as the deck of a ship. a very appropriate setting for a shore school. Those attending had a delightful time. Again we left school for vacation to return as Seniors with all their privileges. We came back in the fall of l939 endeavoring to make the most of our last year together. With a sense of confidence and satisfaction we again elected Earl Heyniger. President of the Class of '40, Other officers were: Vice President, Arthur Kaupe: Secretary. Claire Fiasconarog and Treasurer. Robert Morris: Our advisers for this. our last year in Manasquan High School, were: Miss Smith. Mr. Oxenford. and Mr. Ciricolo. Miss Wirth. our librarian. has also guided us during our years in Manasquan and accompanied us on our trip to Washington. Several members of our class participated in the All-State Chorus at Atlantic City. Many seniors took active parts in sports this year and proved their outstanding ability by supporting championship teams. As is the custom, we seniors gave a Hallowe'en Dance. Other activities of the year were two senior plays. a magazine drive, and cake sales. March 18. 19, and 20 were set aside for our class trip. However. on Saturday. March 16. when we awoke to see that it was snowing. we felt low at heart. On Monday we left the High School and for the three days that we were gone everyone was feeling sorry for us. while we at Xvashington. D. C., were enjoy ing the warm weather, going around without our coats and sleeping with our windows open and electric fans running. Vile all agreed that we could not have had such perfect weather if it had been made to order. One duty of all seniors is to prepare a yearbook. This publication is The Treasure Chest of memory and is supported by lower classmen as well as seniors. This year. too. our class was represented in the Honor Society. thirteen seniors being admitted. This organization stands for character. service. leadership and scholarship, and is the highest award which any senior in high school can achieve. The curtain is going down on the history of the Class of 1940. but class night as well as graduation will stand out as milestones in our journey through life. Thirl een
