She takes care of the hearts and darts while her suitors throw the knives I Virginia Taylor is head dietitian at the Toll House. Guess she ' s already heard that ' the wav to a man ' s heart is through his stomach. Rose Martin opened a dress shop on Fifth Avenue not so long ago. She copies her styles exclusively from Esquire.

19 4 2 Memorial fllglt School 19 4 2 The Last Will and Testament of the Class of ' 42 J. JAMISON KENDALL We, the Seniors of Memorial High, being of sound mind and worse judgment, taking the burden of life upon our shoulders and realizing its uncertainty, do make, in a dying gasp for fresh air, this our last will and testament, declaring all like documents null and void. We hereby bequeath, to wit — We bequeath to the fishermen of the Junior Class our sporting tackle. May they use it to good advantage on April 15, 1943. To Robert Smith, our promising young clock-maker, we do leave the task of repairing the school clocks, so that the future pupils of M. H. S. may know whether they are coming or going. (We hope! ) To the future stars of the Senior Play we leave DePinna ' s togs and Penny ' s star per- formance, to insure their success, financially and otherwise. For some rainy school day we leave to the up-and-coming students of Memorial High two dozen pails, seven umbrellas, four life- preservers, two moth-eaten bathing suits, and one row-boat. To the Science Department of Memorial High we leave the magnetism of Jean and Joan Alden. We leave to the honorable Mr. Raymond Patrick Hyman our thirteen pairs of orange stockings. To any student who considers himself a man, we leave the Archduke ' s pipe and silky mustache. We do leave and bequeath to Matrimonial Al Farley a book entitled Two Can Live as Cheaply as One. To Donald Beanpole Foye we do leave George Blimp Raymond ' s comely curves. We most cheerfully do give and bequeath to the first tramp passing through Middle- boro (poor fellow! ) that slightly used per- sonality of Bob Fish, the Superman physique of Maynard Washburn, and Dick Glidden ' s ability to throw Ferdinand and all his rela- tives. In all sincerity, to the teachers of Memor- ial High we wish to pass on Spike Tillson ' s homely virtues, his common sense, his just decisions, his love of mankind, and his strength of character. On this day of June the sixteenth, in this year of our Lord, one thousand, nine hundred and forty-two, we, the undersigned, do as- phyxiate our signatures in witness to the above document, decreed and sealed by the Senior Class of ' 42. Witnesses : Town Manager Town Treasurer and Collector Chief of Police 27

19 4 2 Memorial High School 19 4 2 Elizabeth Shaw, who went to Bridgewater Normal, is now on the staff of M. H. S. She is teaching foreign languages — English, etc. We are all very proud of Doris Sturgis, who is starring in the opera Barber of Seville, or A Close Shave in M. H. S. Alice Zakarian has a knitting mill. She also gives knitting instructions. Her motto is A stitch in time saves nine hundred. News has reached us that Arleen Kinsman is the manager of a date bureau out in Cali- fornia, and incidentally, she is doing a thriv- ing business. When the girls become anxious over their suitors, Arleen says, If I can ' t date your man, nobody can. Mamie Mackiewicz is the local Florence Nightingale, doing her bit right at home at St. Luke ' s. Did Florence Nightingale have a way with the soldiers, too? Ruthie Pendleton and her Red have flown the world and have finally landed out of the clouds long enough to set up a school for young aviators here at home. They say she makes a swell co-pilot. Betty LeBlanc and Betty DeMoranville are running rival booking agencies for the Nar- ragansett Race Track. The sign on one door reads, I Bet-ty wins! On the other agency door there is I Bet-ty doesn ' t! Can ' t you get together? We never got to know Richard Hurd very well in school, but we have HEARD that he is a successful farmer. We knew he ' d make good. Anita Young, one of our tiny friends, has used that asset to a great advantage. She models clothes in a local Children ' s Dress Shoppe, which she now owns. Sylvia Perkins is rivaling the famous Duchess of Windsor as the world ' s best dressed wom- an. Is it a coincidence that they each have a Duke? Elaire Alexander — ( this is poetry, if anyone can tell ) — Because her name has world renown. She is now the Queen of Dahliatown. There ' s a lot more in life than just making money; So she ' s added a Gill to make things more sunny. Joan Berry — (more poetry) — The nicest clothes and the nicest way Brought Jo a proposal every day. She shopped around till the right one she found, And now she ' s doing things up Brown. Paul Anderson is doing business on a large scale. He buys everything by the Gross. ' Dick Barnett is making a living with other people ' s feet. He doesn ' t cut them off; he ' s a shoe man. Alvin Bigelow is a tree surgeon. He says he can ' t get Wood off his mind. Alan DeMoranville is testing cars for the government. Al says they have to be good to stand his driving. John Johnson is a noted singer. His theme song is I Dream of Jeannie. Bob Leary is an up-and-coming jeweler. It all started with a Pearl. Harold Card ' s ambition was to be a teacher. He is making good, training seals. Bob Fuller makes his money in chips. No, he ' s not a gambler. They are wood chips, and he is the toothpick king. Jim Francis and Stan Griniewicz work with steel. They pound nails in army shoes. Ken Tribou could make a swell pilot, but he can ' t come out of the tailspin that Millie Cushing put him in. Shirley Westgate is all ready to settle down. She has finally received her Grant. Carl Shaw is a great sportsman. Right now he is at the Sportmen ' s Show, showing his midget tuna. Modest Charlie Varney is taking life easy as a shoe-shine boy. Remember, at M. H. S. he used to practice on his basketball shoes. Wood is attracted better by shining ones. Warren Tharion didn ' t make a hockey star, but he is a hockey coach. How many games did the gals win last season? Wann. Larry Carter has replaced Tommy Dorsey as the country ' s number one virtuoso, swing- ing his way into the hot band world and the girls ' hearts. Is there a doctor in the house? Tom Cleverly traveled the world as captain of the S. S. Bachelor, but had to abandon 29
