E D LF V 'S 5 CLASS WILL EAR YE! Hear ye! It is the wish of the graduating class of 1931 to bestow upon a number of the more fortunate members of the school such gifts as they possess and deem desirable for donation. Our generosity is overwhelming and the few who receive our gifts have not been chosen without great arbitration. Primarily, our revered and honored President leaves her sensitive nose for detecting sour edibles to the residents of New Pay, in order that they may be able to discover the nature of the day's menu and plan their absences accordingly. May you ever remember it as the beacon light of the class of '3l. To whomsoever may aspire to the notoriety of a school celebrity, Janet Beecher leaves her incognito of Daniel Boone which she has faithfully upheld during the past year. To the incoming freshmen, Georgia Lasley leaves her ample virtuosity. And, young frosh, be informed that such a sufficiency is not to be sneered at! To those who may be interested, Shirley Mahl leaves her as yet unrequited passion for Poslum because it is always pleasant to have some sort of a hobby, To those interested in the art of modeling, Bea Roe leaves her luxurious cerise locks, in order that they may pose with perfect ease for natural-color photos. To the saddest members of our clan-the campused ones, Athena Stavros, Edith Pinkos, Lois Matthews, Anita Lamb, and Virginia Hatchell leave their daily lunches down town, in order that those campused weeks may seem less cruel. To Barbara Baldwin, 'ALibby Hurd leaves that athletic appearance, be- cause somehow, it helps, and it's one thing to be, and another thing to appear. To Virginia Mason, Eleanor Showalter leaves that sweet Southern drawl. To the highest bidder, Marion Ehlers leaves her dimples--pride of the school. To the future inhabitants of Old Fay, Hazel Harris leaves her resident cat. To Allen and Harry, Louise MacNaughton leaves her immense capacity for moving trunks and other light articles of furniture after 9:45 at night, in order that they may acquire greater efliciency. To the Science Club, Winifred Peterson leaves her little green car, in order that their trips may be more extensive. To future college-prep students, Georganna Clement leaves a vast and comprehensive knowledge of the maths. To the winner of the 1932 Mt. Ida Horse Show, Sarah Moss Phillips leaves one riding habit of the hothouse variety, thus known because it has solely existed within and rarely ever without. To those interested in New Hampshire swains, Aurelie Tremaine leaves 1421

CBecause, just betwen you and me,--we think that's what did itlj To those nervous during examinations, lola Silver leaves her fingernails ---food for thought. To Miss Ramsay, Clara Kent leaves her fourth floor hermitage, as a refuge from the trials of school. To the school in general, Nancy Jane Cassaday leaves a large leather-bound volume of Emily Post, in order that they may learn during their tender years, the meaning of the expression, 'igive him a hand. To the library, Meryl Mauch leaves the complete works of Darwin in order that her name may long be remembered and honored. To Ruth Eerris, Marion Bacon leaves the presidency of the Cilee Club. To future musicians, Betty Lewis leaves the red room, in order that their jaded minds may find some small recompense. Carolyn Fay is greatly undecided whether to leave the mouse in number 3 or HlVlaurice to Senior House. The last we heard, the mouse was in the lead. With deep regret, Eleanor Locke leaves Ebony to Charlie, because as UEbony said to Eleanor, l'm afraid I could never stand Pennsylvania- why, that's where Dottie App lives, isn't it? And speaking of i'Dottie App, that reminds us that she's leaving you underclassmen that business-like air- Excuse me-the printer's coming. . To all the undecided Juniors, Amelia Sheldon leaves her ability to cook as well as write-eemagine being able to do both! To future- beginners, Dot Cone leaves Pieface - many a weary hour have I spent! if-To Bee Menaguale, Leslie Friend bequeaths her charter membership in the Pun-of-the-Morning Club, together with her ten best puns, - To Rosalind Roulston, Doris Locke leaves the full extent of her dramatic ability. i'Raulie's had a lot left for her now-we old Seniors expect big things. Then, last of all-but of course, not least, Selene Reiner leaves that studi- ous aspect to the frivolous Erosh. We put Selene last because we like to have our memory perpetuated along with Euclid, Socrates, and other great students. To the entire school, Senior House leaves their tardy permissions for meals- We serve meals any hour of the day or night. Be it know then, this is the last will and testament of the Senior Class of 1931, drawn up and sealed this second day of June, year of our Lord, one ousand nine hundred thirty-one.
