8 Blue and Gold Milton. Milton High School hasn't lost Normais giggle, for if you look in the grades you will soon see that her giggle must have been inherited. Dale Laughlin-After three years in the Ma- rines, Dale took over a farm in Milton so as to support his wife and children. Since Dale al- ways loved children, he now has five. Ruth Villemaire-Ruth was the second dieti- tion in our class. She received her dietetics course at U. V. M. For her future career she de- cided to work in a largeschool in New York. She must have liked this future for we still find her here. Tracy Ryan--The bravest of our class- Tracy, was called by Uncle Sam. We hear now that he has taken the Footsteps of many famous Generals. He now is Supreme Commander in Russia. janet Fisher-She planned to go to Becker junior College, but one of her many boyfriends stepped in and spoiled her plans. If you're ever down to Rockefeller Center, stop in and visit her, and she Will show you the place for she is a guide there. Nancy Barrows+Soon after we graduated, Nancy, who had taken a very active interest in a certain Marine, married him. Their time is tak- en up almost entirely by their big family-of some three thousand chincilla rabbits. Ginny Adams-After graduation Ginny went to Sheldonis Beauty Academy for a year. She worked at Wilfredis Beauty Shop for three years then she married one of her high school friends. She has two children and she is now living on the U. V, M. Campus Lot.

But just now I feel like a heel investi- gating and telling you all about the private and professional lives of the senior class of 1951. So if you'll excuse me now, I'll be making tracks away from here.

Our high school days are of the past. It's time to leave this dear old school, so it's time to read our Last Will and Testament and distribute our gifts to the class. During our stay here, we collected many material and in- tangible possessions which we cannot take with us. We would grow footsore on our march if we were weighted with too many earthly posses- sions. They would be a burden as We tread the sands of time. We think it wise to dispose of our possessions to those who will follow in our foot- steps, namely, the juniors and other school fel- lows. Also, there are certain concessions which we make to the school and faculty. Therefore, we make this Last Will and Testament: We, the class of 1951, of Milton High School, realizing we are setting out on the sands to make our footprints indelible and to set examples for future generations, do hereby, will and bequeath the following: FIRST: We order and direct that all just debts be paid, namely the expenses of com- mencement which have been deep impressions on our pocketbooks and mental capacities. SECOND: To our school, we leave Father Time with hopes that he will continue to make notable history after we have gone.
