L laJj The distinguished and glorious class of 1949, being of sound mind and memory, does admit and blushingly confess that this creed is its last will and testament, to be carried out by all who shall in due humility follow it on the path of learning in Marple-Newtown High School. To the School Board we leave our request that they build a new auditorium. To the school we leave the benefit of our newly acquired wisdom in the following set of revised rules: 1. Classes shall be held on all the days of the week except those days whose names begin with M, T, W, F, and S. 2. Classes shall begin at 11:00 a. m. and end at 1:00 p. m. 3. The luncheon period shall extend over a two-hour interval. 4. At the beginning of the school year, the students shall explain to the teachers what and how they are expected to teach. To the faculty we leave our heartfelt sym- pathy. Still, in the words of the poet, It is better to have had us and lost us than never to have had us at all.” To the underclassmen who have the great honor of being our successors, we extend hearty congratulations from the bottom of our hearts, yes, even from the soles of our loafers. To all the school activities in which we have participated we leave a grave doubt. Although they will probably not die altogether, we feel they will fall into a moribund state, but will, in the end, be saved by the underclassmen who Wdl will attempt to imitate our cleverness and skill. There is another to whom we extend our sincerest thanks for friendship and guidance through our high school years— for it’s not the school alone (we thank) but the principal of the thing. Individually, we do hereby bequeath our worldly goods as follows: Bob Snelling inherits from Don Tarleton one camera, and from Tom Tull, one million arguments. Shirley Holloway leaves to Nancy Dutton her way” with Mrs. Marlino. To Joe Smith, Helen Ballaron leaves the ability to get good marks without studying. Of course Joe really doesn’t need this. The mirror in the girls’ room is left to Ruth Hippie by Jeanne Grover. Ace” Hatton, although he really doesn’t need it, is willed A1 Roberts’ great big laugh. Betty Ketchledge leaves her bottle of Moon- sheen” to Bessie Loomis, who will now have two bottles. That way with women” is left to Lee Hollo- way by George Snyder, with the advice to use it. Gloria Nilan wills her flirty eyes to Joan Heavens. Teddy Lamb inherits Ed Gorman’s razor and all his second-hand blades — for future use. Anna May Mahon leaves with pleasure her iodine and band-aids to Mary Ellen Jinkner. To Johnny Parks, Connie Fletcher wills his bee-u-ti-ful curly hair. ( Continued on Page 52) 29
