Betty Chapman leaves her Southern accent and hospitality to some “damn Yankee.” Sis Karvellas leaves her endless foun- tain of wit to Bea Comstock. The easy-going tardiness and last min- ute shampoos of Anna Towhill are willed to Kay Hogan. Rita Krasinskas gives the krinkle of her nose back to Bugs Bunny. If you have noticed the newly acquired smile of Dotty Iwaniki, she inherited it from Eileen Sheehan who advises her not to use it in class. Irene Niedospal leaves her enthusiasm and persuasiveness to the powers that be. Mary Murphy leaves that doctor she never got around to asking to the formal. To B.L.I. affiliates who want to escape the evil eye of “Gravel Gertie,” Pat Northridge leaves her overnight address. To the new probies Evelyn Sabola leaves her bag of cigarette butts. Ruby Sundeen leaves her sultry voice to the musilophone girls. Mary Geiser leaves to join the ranks of faculty wives at Queens College. To Barbara Roser, Muriel Larose leaves her blind dates. Kay Collins leaves Dailey for the Indians. Grace Garrison refuses to leave her supper dates with Warren to anyone. Anyone missing books or uniform parts will find them when Dailey leaves. Fran Kisiel leaves an invitation to her graduation to the judiciary board. They have been inseparable. To any blue (mood not color) student at B.L.I. Virginia Goodwin leaves her memories of her last night there. Mary-Jane Shortlidge leaves a port- able ladder to the Vanderbilt boys. If Leslie Bayeur can find it, she will leave her alarm clock to Jr. Cislo. Marion Martell leaves a B.L.I. laun- dry table to those unable to sleep on our orthopedic beds. Jackie Fishel leaves her Brookline apartment to future class reunions. To the West side at McLean, Wenonah Marble leaves her gym outfit. Ardis Murray leaves her uncollected rent for the use of her typewriter to the fund for the new nurses’ home. Eleanor Gagan leaves her indecision to “Jenny” who couldn’t make up her mind either. To the “maniacs” who understand it, Timmy Roberts leaves her Maine accent. Ethel Todd leaves her book “The Horse and I” to Betty MacDonald. Pauline Roy leaves one of her Pauls to Selma Herman. Barbara Gray bequeaths her spats with the masculine sex to anyone who can grin and bear them. Sally Shea leaves Baker 6 and all the drainage bottles to hopeful urological nurses. Shirley O’Niel wills to the hospital a silent automatic contraption for moving beds at night in pediatrics. A new telephone system will be left by Arlene Wink to replace the 6ne she has worn out in Walcott. Lois Bloomouist goes back to Connecti- cut leaving the theological students to those lucky underclassmen. To knitting enthusiasts Connie Palmer leaves her latest publication, “How to Knit” or “Don’t Bring Your Troubles to Me.” Shirley Atwood leaves her three-year collection of signs and stuffed animals to the Franklin Park Zoo.

jjuhf, Will Our class, being overwhelmed with generosity, deems it advisable at this moment in its career to set aside a trust for those worthy ones upon whom we have chosen to bestow our bounties. The years have taken their toll on our wealth, but through scrimping and saving we have found it possible to set aside a few of our gems to leave behind in order that we shall always be remembered. Eunice Cooley has, after careful con- sideration, decided to disclose her secret formula for removing freckles to Jane Wragg. Eunie says that one can actually see them disappear. Phil Leshane leaves Miss Fraser a portable set of scales. In this way, Phil thinks that Miss Fraser will be free from the problem of telephoning her students to ask the proverbial question, “Have you been weighed this month?” Ray Crowley leaves her aprons to Kit Weare. Ray never did find time to shorten them, so they would be just right for Kit. M argie Webb leaves her array of rag curlers to Barb Roser and her brief but timely article on “How to Get the Most Out of a Rag.” Marge says that after being used as curlers for some time the rags make excellent pipe cleaners. Ronnie Layaou leaves complimentary tickets for the “Sun Spot” to all starving nurses — compliments of her dad. Ruth Johnson leaves her packages from home to Barb Richardson. They invariably contain food but we feel Barb should be warned as one of Ruth’s pack- ages once contained a stuffed pink cat or a reasonable facsimile thereof. Norma McEdward leaves Nancy Brown a fur-lined insulated sleeping bag for cool nights on camping trips in the Blue Hills. Katie Connery leaves all junior work in the operating room to Dottie Iwanicki, especially White 3A. Joyce Mackey leaves a secluded spot deep in the heart of Texas to someone who wants to get away from it all. Frances Dillard has left to Miss Hewitt a compact oxygen tent to be con- stantly at her disposal. Also Frannie has devised an even better method of putting on diapers which she is willing to demon- strate to the pediatric service. Scotch tape, like Duz, sure can do anything. Claire Sturtevant leaves the steam room in Gardner to anyone who wants to look ravishing on a date. Claire states it just brings out one’s best — one’s best wave, that is! Pat Kenna leaves her new-improved formula for making hair grow longer to Catherine Brennan, hoping that the latter will be able to decipher it. Helen Wanionek leaves her ability to turn patients in shells single-handed to Pat Malloy. [ 30]
