LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT Class of 1951 By Mary Loucasey, Charlotte Durgo DE it remembered that we, the class of 1951 ■ of Memorial High School, in the town of Middleboro, in the county of Plymouth, in the state of Massachusetts, in the United States of America, being of sound mind and memory do make and ordain this last will and testament. After payment of just debts, we bequeath our estate as follows: To the class of 1952 — a library copy of the best seller, How to Get on the Good Side of Your Teachers. To the class of 1953 — two more years in the most modern and best equipped high school in Middleboro. To the class of 1954 — the great privilege of having something beneath you besides the ground: namely the freshmen. To the incoming freshmen — We leave the will power that helped us survive the four years of hard labor. To the Commercial Department — rubber gloves and aprons to be worn when cleaning the mimeograph machine. To the Science Department — A lab with equipment that works. To future class officers — the qualities of dependability and leadership possessed by the officers of the Class of ' 51. To extroverts — some of Edward DeArruda and Keneth Hatch ' s quiet, unassuming ways. To anyone who wants or needs it — Merilyn Churchill and Robert Buck ' s ability to get along with the opposite sex. To all brave Junior boys — a chance to apply for Wayne Evans ' position as the only male in the Commercial Depanment. To future assembly speakers — Nancy Dahl- quist ' s gift of gab. To all who aspire to be artists — the talent which enabled Dottie, Eila, and Naomi to win keys in the Boston Globe Art Contest. To Richard Byrnes — Mary Gerrior ' s ability to get along well with Mr. Kunces. To Red Lawrence — Bob Brown ' s freckles. To Mr. Churchill and the a capella choir — the beautiful voices of Sylvia and Christine. To the school library — a scrapbook to be used for all future articles written under the title True Confessions of M.H.S. Graduates. The first three contributions from us will be I Slept Through Classes by Bob Mahoney, Slipped into Classes Late and Survived by Judy Ken- nedy, and Made a Monkey of Myself by Roger Nickerson. To all junior girls with boy friends in the service — a chance to read the library copy of How to Write Love Letters which has been in constant use this past year by Judy Kennedy, Marilyn Shurtleff, Lea Chartier, and Janice Perkins. To Miss Lewis — the private secretary she ' d like. Said secretary to serve said Miss Lewis by correcting papers, grading them fairly, and then filing them. The main duty of said secre- tary will be that of reminding said teacher of little things that are forgotten by said teacher. In testimony whereof, we hereunto set our hands and in the presence of the undersigned witnesses, declare this to be our last will and testament on this twelfth day of June in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and fifty -one.
