18 CLASS WILL We, the members of the graduating class of 1951, believing that we are possessed of a reasonable amount of intelligence and a number of unusual talents and abilities, willingly wish to dis- tribute the remains of our traits among the underclassmen. To Jimmy Murphy, Lenny DiCenzo leaves his football prowess and hopes that it will benefit Millis a little more next year. To some deserving underclassman, Betty Thorne leaves her care- fully done World History papers. We're sure that if they follow her pattern, they will do well. To her two sisters, Rosaline Winiker hands down her worthy name and we hope they do as much for it as she has done. To Becky Washer, Marilyn Pollard leaves her weak little voice and occasional blushes with hopes that it won't annoy her teachers as much as it did Marilyn's. To Pat Kubacki, Lorraine Cribby leaves her old car that travels to Norfolk now, because of force of habit. Won't that be nice Pat? Janet Simbol leaves a book on How to Hold a Good Argument™ to anyone who is having a little trouble with their easy to get along with teacher! Janet loves a red hot argument and we're sure that her book is of great value. Margaret Kubacki leaves tips to the Junior Glass on how to get along with Mr. Robbins in P. D. next year. We hope that they will make out as well as she did! Phillip White leaves an extra key and the directions to the Framingham Union Hospital Nurse's Home to any one who is having a little trouble. Good luck! To Richard LaCroix, Sam Aaron Margolis leaves his slowness, so that he won't race down the corridors so much. To Donald Sharpe, George Lipsett, and Donald Frink, Danny Gordon leaves better luck than he had in hanging on to his license, To Jackie Murtagh, Evel Cassidy leaves her ability to charm a certain football p ayer. a wos

elected President of the Athletic Association and also Captain of the Cheerleaders. We had a little difficulty in getting the school newspaper, THE LIVE WIRE, started. Some of us went to the trouble of circulating a petition which we found was not needed. As Seniors we started to raise money for our Washington Trip. First we sold Christmas cards, which proved to be quite successful. Then we presented our Senior Play, CRACKED NUTTS. It was directed by Miss Sellers to whom we later presented a necklace and pin, and a bouquet of red roses, our class flower, for all the help she had given us in making this a huge success. On Friday night, December 29, our class held a party at Betty Thorne's home. Only a few attended because of the bad weather, but those who were there certainly enjoyed themselves. This is the history of our class to the present time. Some of our future events are: a penny sale, January 10; a food sale, February 8; an Easter Monday Dance; and our Washington Trip on which we shall leave Friday, the thirteenth of April. The last important event of our Senior Year will be graduation, the most solemn event of our entire twelve grades of school. The day will be June 7, 1951. At this time each will receive his di- ploma. Some of us will go into the service, others will go on to college, and the rest will seek employment in the many business establishments. 17

To Joan Thatcher, Joanne Gannon leaves her red hair with hopes that it will help her to find someone as nice as Charlie. To Albert Gurner, John Young leaves his position at Herman's Academy--gladly! To Gerry Christian, Doris Veiner leaves her good luck in re- ceiving letters from a certain someone and strength to answer so many. Gerry will be in the same position as Doris when the spring rolls around. We, Patsy and Doris, have decided to leave Richard Kasakaitis's wonderful leadership to every president of the future senior classes. We certainly have appreciated all he has done for us. To David Clark, Joshua Mael leaves his school-girl figure. He certainly can use it. To the highest bidder, Helen Ward leaves her adorable face. How much is offered girls? To Barbara Olson and Barbara Burdows, Alice Simarrian leaves her good attendance record--at home! To Carol Greene and Cynthia Simpson, Anne Louise Congdon leaves her newly published book, How to Get Your Man at a DeMolay Minstrel Show. I'm sure you girls know what we mean! To Mr. Brown, we leave our sincere thanks for all the help, advice, and understanding he has given us during our twelve years in Millis High School. To Miss Fiola, we leave a bigger French room, not one that is two by four and has only one table!!! To Mrs. Magraw, we wish that we could leave Anne Louise, Evelyn, and Lorraine; but as we can't, we leave her her choice of three Junior girls to act as her secretaries. To Mrs. Gavin, we leave a large solid geometry class for next year, or did you enjoy the smaller one, Mrs. Gavin? To Mr. Doliner, we leave a record that says, Keep quiet Senior girls, for use in his third period study. To Miss LaLiberte, we hope that her future gym classes will be more willing than we were to put on our gym suits. To Miss Sellers, we leave a bottle of grey hair remover in case next year's Senior play is as cracked as ours was! 19
