She is now selling tickets at Jimmy Kenyon ' s Three Ring Circus. In his circus, Jim has two wonderful and dif- ferent performances with horses. In the first, Jim directs his orchestra in a waltz, polka, and foxtrot while his wife. Barbara Jones, rides her favorite horse in perfect time with the music. The other act is the work of Deborah Anderson, who paces her pet horse through many exciting and difficult tricks. Bozo Santin is the clown, and his hearty chuckles are a carry-over of the Santa Clans role he played so well at M. H. S. Because of the help shortage, he also doubles as the strong man. We now find Eileen Casey visiting her friend Deborah at the circus every afternoon. She uses the same strategy to get out of work as she did in getting out of her home room at M. H. S.

Irene Bennett ' s dancing ability has proved to be the key to her success. She is now starred in a current Broadway hit. The North Street Blues. People who remember Madeline Leary as a shy, retiring person, will be surprised to hear that she has written a best seller that is really Wool-worth reading. Our lovely Pam Jones is still a leader. One thousand boys have failed to catch her. A song lately dedicated to her is, Oh, Pamelia, ' Melia, ' Melia. I ' ve made up my mind to stealia. It is sung by none other than the famous dancer, Jimmy Jo Ma- honey. Critics claim he dances better than Fred Astaire. Shirley Fickert at school ate only one meal a day, but when you consider it was one continuous meal, it is easy to under- stand how she became head sampler for the National Food Company.

Memorial High School 1 i Class of Forty - Six The Last Will and Testament of the Class of 1946 MARI iARET BURNETT Be it remembered that we, the Senior Class in the Memorial High School of Mid- dleboro in the Commonwealth of Massachu- setts, being the only class of sound mind and memory, but knowing the uncertainty of life, do make this our last will and testa- ment, hereby revoking all former wills by us at anytime heretofore made. After the payments of our just debts and funeral charges we do bequeath and devise as follows : The footprints of wisdom with which we have so indelibly impressed the halls of Memorial High School must not be in vain. So to those tiny tots of immaturity, the fresh- men, we leave our old shoes that they may better follow in our footprints. To the Class of ' 47, we do will and be- queath all boys and girls borrowed during the duration of our short visit at M. H. S. We the Class of ' 46 do will and bequeath to all up and coming sophomore boys, the natural art pictures taken in Connecticut ' s woodlands by Herby Thompson and Jim- mie Kenyon. The Class of ' 46 feels it only proper to leave to Miss Erickson a new ventilating system — in hopes that this system will keep the room dusty as well as the radiators have kept it cold. To Mr. Thomas, it is with great pleasure we leave an historical textbook The Rise and Fall of M: H. S. covering the most important era of this high school during the reign of the Class of ' 46. L ' nto the leading men in the senior play of next year, we leave Roger Tillson ' s desire for a uniform — be it Army or Navy — and Johnny Cayton ' s ability for making beat- ing around the bush proposals. To the future president of the Class of ' 47, Ted Gay, our president, leaves his un- touched gavel and his air of authority. To Miss Ryder, the editors of the various departments in the Sachem do leave their remarkable editorial ability so that she may plant it in the minds of the forthcoming freshmen class. Al Brooks, president of the Student Coun- cil, does will and bequeath to the future president of said organization his unopened book of Parliamentary Law. The Class of ' 46 does will and bequeath Mecca and Dick Chaplain ' s jitterbug team work to any under classmen who will accept it at their own risk. We do will and bequeath John Santin ' s frame to Donnie Mitchell for rebuilding. Patty Waite leaves her infectious laugh to anyone who thinks he can stand it. To all future students of M. H. S. we do will and bequeath all diamonds purchased by the seniors to be used as class rings if so desired. Last but not least, Roger Tillson, Mar- ian Hanson, and Betty Jane Skahill leave their enviable records and titles of valedic- torian and salutatorian respectively to those most deserving of this most esteemed hon- or. In testimony whereof we hereunto set our hands and in the presence of three wit- nesses declare this to be our last will this 11th day of June, in the year one thou- sand nine hundred and forty-six. On this 11th day of June, 1946. A. D., the Class of 1946 of Memorial High School of Middleboro, Massachusetts, signed the foregoing instrument in our presence, de- claring it to be their last will : and, there- after, as witnesses thereof we three, at their request, in their presence, and in the pres- ence of each other, hereunto subscribe our names.
