Last Will and Testament of the Class of 1947 CLAIRE O ' MELIA We the most illustrious, amiable, and athletically inclined class ever to pass through the portals of M. H. S., realizing; that we are the only class sound in mind and body, do ordain and establish this gilt-edged docu- ment to be our last will and testament. We, the outstanding class of ' 47, knowing that it will be used in the future, leave our slogan. So it ' s never been done before — we ' ll do it to the (jive us time — we ' re young yet , juniors, hoping that they will be as original as we were. Dapper MacDonald and his Whiz Kids ' ' leave their trophies and undefeated record as a goal for next year ' s team in hopes that they will be able to do half as well. The Senior Play cast does will and be- queath its natural talents for acting to next year ' s amateurs, knowing full well that no class will reach such heights of stardom. The graduating class in doing its bit to- ward public safety, leaves to Miss Erickson a new 1947 model, and in so doing impresses upon her that old familiar statement It ' s purely mechanical. The female athletes do will and bequeath their time-worn uniforms to the unfortunate gals of future years. Agnes Alger leaves her ability to make and keep friends to all the (ahem) shv stu- dents of M. H. S. We bequeath to M. H. S. Claire Devlin ' s staccato sneeze to echo through the corri- dors of this famed school along with the laughter of the Class of ' 47. Lee Norton, president of the Student Council, does will and bequeath to the future president of this organization his air of au- tlioritv and his brilliant orations. Our Senior Class he-men, those of the Hercules variety, will their brawn to the freshmen who sorely need it. George Wood bequeaths his curly hair to all the underclassmen sporting crew-cuts so that they too will be a hero in the eyes of the females. That magnetic duo of arne ' and Gates leave their ability to make so many social visits to the office to any enterprising un- dergraduate who would like to break the record. Bev. (T had an operation) Sturgis be- queaths her gift of gab to Phyllis Holt, real- izing that she will put it to good use. Pete Dodge. Ph}-llis Austin, Mansfield Whitney, Barbara Ronon, and Jo Anne St. Amand leave their witty talents to Mr. Nlarch in order that he may better use his library of jokes. ( )ur superb musicians will their musical talents to the energetic sophomores, hoping that they will add rather than detract from Mr. Churchill ' s classes. Popular man about town. Bill Washburn, leaves his book of lines that never failed, to up-and-coming Dick Westgate. The book is entitled VOU BRING OUT THE SAV- AGE IN ME. We bequeath Danny Anacki ' s blush to a.11 the future students of M. H. S. who no doubt will have need of it before they grad- uate. We, the class of ' 47. have drawn up this, our last will and testament, and have had it witnessed by four capable and well-known members of the faculty. We, the undersigned, realizing the hidden potentialities of this great class, have hereby witnessed this document to be the last will and testament of the Class of 1947.

Memorial Hi li School Class of Forty - Seven Have you read George Perry ' s latest solu- tion to the world ' s problems in tlie new l)est seller A Boxcar View of the World? George has been enjoying the solitude of his big home in the Maine woods. The outstanding artist, Nelson Sherman, is back in town painting the murals for the new high school. We hear that his exhibit in tlie Aluseum of Fine Arts was very well received. Bert Richmond has opened a new snack bar at a local summer resort. It is known as Skipper ' s Haven, ' and crowds of local people, as well as tourists, patronize it. Rosemarie Ouigley, whose dancing with Fred was super, even in high school days, has made a great career of her talent. Boots is currently appearing in the new play on Broadway entitled Soitca ' s Ragtime Band. Many people liave been enjoying southern fried chicken at the South Aliddleboro farm of the Lavallees, Wilfred and Eleanor. It is famous for miles around, and his success Wilfred attributes to his agricultural train- ing by ] Ir. Reed. One of Arthur Murray ' s most apt teach- ers, Bea Austin, has a modern dance studio in Plymoutli. The new dancing star Flank , who appeared at Middleboro Town Hall last week, is one of her former ])U])i]s who has risen to fame. Robert Dann, the new superintendent of the Plymouth Shoe Company, has devised a new method of skinning hides from cows. This was a method learned from skinning frogs in Mr. Kunces ' s biology class. The new painting of the President of the United States which lias recently been added to the W ' hite House Gallery was ])ainted by the eminent portrait arti.st, Ida Furlan. Hap- py-go-lucky Sanity is seen constantly with a certain young man in town, and right on the job is Cupid , too. Her training in Tripp ' s has aided her in l)ecoming an ex- pert dietician.

We must dro]) in for one, but after ten years out of high school, we l egin to watcli our calories. As private secretary to J. C. Vanderbuilt, Flora Bernier gets two months ' vacation witli pay. After handling the affairs of such an important personage for 10 months, she really needs it, though.
