The SASSAMQN - 193 I, Leonard Foley, leave my ability to get along with the faculty to Arthur Lacou- lIll'9. We. Esther MacNeil and Viola Marshall, leave our boisterous habits to Mary Dituc- cio and Helen Graye. I, James Keating, bequeath the captain- cy of a successful team and my athletic ability to Salvi Arena. I, XYalter Townsend, leave my inclina- tions toward comedy and dramatics to James Boyd, and hope many will enjoy them as they did mine, especially at try- outs. l, Jean Bell, bequeath my dexterity on the dance floor to Anne Hanagan and know that she will always have as many partners as I have had. I, Anastasia Coleman, leave my coquet- tish ways to Alice Garvey, and hope that she will keep out of trouble as success-- fully as I have. I, Rocco Guarino, leave my skill as a saxophonist to Adelaide Brophy, and know that many large audiences will be enter-- tained by her. I, Robert Gleason, leave my ability to play basketball to Robert Marso, knowing that he will be Coach Donahue's main- stay next year. We, Marjorie Denny and Rose Marciano, bequeath our willingness to do extra work connected with the Commercial Depart- ment to Louise Grady and Phyllis Black. I, Marjorie Pond, leave my popularity, especially with the males, to Martha John- son. Signed, sealed, published and declared on this thirteenth day of June, the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and thirty- five, the last will and testament of the Class of Thirty-Five, in the presence ot' those concerned who have hereunto sub- scribed their names as attesting witnesses to said document. fSignedl MARY LATOUR VVitnesscd by: EDITH M. NUTT EMILY L. SHANNON PAGE TEN CLASS PROPHECY Madam Petrovitch, the famous medium, has been kind enough to predict the future for the class of 1935. With the aid of a crystal and her uncanny mental ability. she predicts the following: Yours will prove to be a most stupend- ous class. In the march of events I see Sophie Cashman, probably the most out- standing figure of the class, now entering her twenty-fifth day in the international talkathon. Norman Brown, her manager, believes she has an excellent chance of winning as she hasn't paused once. Now I seem to hear singing. Yes, an opera. It is the opening night and Vir- ginia Bennett, Doris Litchfield and Lucille Knott are accompanying Elizabeth Decker while she makes her debut as the most dramatic opera star that the stage has witnessed. Now the scene is changing-I can see a beautiful building in the background. Ah, it becomes clearer. The name of the build- ing is the Leo Bernard Carey Hospital, which Leo gave to the town when he in- herited a large sum of money. John Arm- strong, Bill Gilman and Walter Greene are at the hospital studying as internes. Win- nie Hedderig, Anna Swenson, Leona Bou- ret and Mary Haskell are nurses, which makes the hospital quite an attraction. Now, comes the din of an ambulance being driven up to the door by John Burke and Ralph Disney. Carefully they lift George Scholl out of it. George seems to have appendicitis but he looks pacified when a pretty nurse walks over to him. Suddenly he starts, gets out of bed and runs. Why shouldn't he? He has learn- ed that John Wilson and Al Potter are going to operate upon him. As I continue on my way I come upon Chief of Police James Corkery and Ser- geant Fred Williams brandishing clubs at two robbers who just tried to break into the Haynes-Kreshpane Dress Shop. The next picture I see is very clear-an airport. William Spooner and Lloyd Stimpson have an air-transport company.

e AISSAIJWQN .-5 1935 CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of 1935 of Natick High School, being of sound and disposing minds, do hereby in th-e presence of wit- nesses declare this document to be our last Will and Testament, after all legal encum- berances have been taken care of. To Mr. Hill we leave a super-modern school building to lessen his worries about the incoming classes. To Mr. Maffeo we bequeath a warm, cozy room so that he will not l.ave to move during the cold weather. To lVlr. Leahy we leave an ordinary classroom so he may look down upon instead of up to his students. To Miss Belliveau and lVliss Ccllarius, Class Advisers, we bequeath an Executive Committee which will follow parliament- ary procedure. To Miss Murphy we leave a senior group who will finish its work on time and leave Room 25 in order. To Mr. White we bequeath a well-filled Athletic Association Treasury to take care of his future financial difficulties. To Miss Young we leave a I110I'9 co- operative senior homeroom and French classes which will appreciate French movies. To lVl1'. Good we bequeath a football squad equal to or better than that which flaunted tradition and brought us victory over Framingham. To lVliss Wildbur we leave literary mem- bers of the Sassamon Board who write legibly. To Mr. Sears we leave an angelic group of secretaries to carry out his many com- mands, and a mechanically-minded boy to repair his machines. To Miss Rafferty we bequeath a 10.1111- cious Student Council which will do more talking and thereby give her a rest. To Miss Shannon we leave our apprecia- tion and gratitude for her untiring and constant efforts in all our endeavors. To the Sophomores we leave our mature outlook on life and our sociability on the dance floor. To the Juniors we leave our rebellious attitude toward custom and our desire for originality. Now, having been your associates for many years and having discovered your individual characteristics, we make the following bequests: I, Leo Carey, willingly leave to my friend, Thomas McCormick, the presidency of the Senior Class and wish him success in the coming school year. I, Sc-phie Cashman, bequeath my poet- ical ability to Marion Mullen with the hope that she will entertain as many fellow- stndents as I have in the past. l, David Mellor, leave my great height to Carlton Leavitt to insure his being highest in his class. VVe, Barbara Allen and Alice Dahlgren. leave our congenial attitude toward each other to Evelyn Lacrosse and Helen Trull, 1, Albert Potter, bequeath my ability to get in the homeroom at 8:01 A. M. to Henry Hall. I, Kathryn Fair, leave my scholastic ability to George Parker, with the hope that his mind will be free from the wor- ries of the advertising department of the Sassamon. I, John Delaney, leave my love for the class ol' 1934 to Barbara W-enzel, and hope that her interests will not be so numerous mine. We, Mary Latour and Robert Holden leave our positions as editors-in-chief of the Sassamon to Louise Mellor and Arthur Harrington, who, we hope, will preserve our literary standards. I, Richard Crmond, bequeath my genial disposition to Philip Gibbons, and know that it will be carried on by him to the joy of his friends. I, Ruth Sanger, leave my prowess in sports to Victory Hill, hoping that she will be as great a comfort to Miss Currier as 1 have been. PAGE NINE

e SASSAJWQN g 1935 Barbara Stocker, Gertrude Peterson and Dorothy Stulce are hostesses. Nearby Rose Marciano is getting final instructions from pilot Leonard Main, for her first solo flight. In the distance a. very rhythmic orches- tra is heard. As the music comes closer, who should it be but Rocco Guarino and his boys playing at Gunnar Hall's Theater. Harry Hume is master of ceremonies and June Nichols is the blues singer. The next feature on the program is Marjorie Denny and David Mellor with tlieir own interpretation of the Rumba. Next weeks attractions show that Albina Kitawicz and Arthur Orleans will dance the modern version of La Cucarachaf' My crystal clouds-but as the mist rises I see George Hamilton leisurely seated be- hind a huge mahoginy desk. Yes he is president of the Natick Trust Company. Betty Johnson, Lillian Higgins and Julia Sampson are his very eflicient secretaries. Dick Ormond is entering the bank with a large bag of money to deposit. Den- tists make quite a iiit of money, evidently. Kay Fair, his better half, has quite a time convincing Dick to save his money for a rainy day. My crystal now shows Joe Ortenzi, and George Malpus, building inspectors, con- demning Francis Gurney's tobacco shop. Fred McGlone has the job of Wooden Indian in front of the shop. A huge bus drives past the tobacco store. The driver is John Lucey. H-e makes three excursions around Natick daily while Delaney points out the historical scenes. Now I see Harold Randall and Emilio Valle busily designing a new Phaeton. They are going to have Kenneth Armenio and Sherman Baker mechanics, make it up and put it on the market. It will soon become more popular than the Ford. Natick College appears in the crystal. Beatrice Colp is the dean. Irene Brennxn, Statia Coleman and Bertha Barnicle are the faculty members. Fern VVilliams is a gym instructor and the only male profes- sor is the modest Edward Kennedy, who teacles English. The High School Class in town govern- ment is probably responsible for the de- velopment of these sturdy politicians: Joe Burgess-Dog Citcher. Donald Howeelieeper of the Town Bathing Beach, and Francis .lohnston, Fence Viewer. These hard working men will continue to better the congested C011- ditions of the city of Natick. South Natick will gradually be reformed by Parson Keating, an earnest missionary. Geno Tassinari is Jimmie's pilot and when the signal is given that all is not well at Rose Brady's Variety Store, the two fly down to restore peace. As for the people of the class who will enter commerce, I visualize Donald Bell as an important financier. Winnie An- drews and Virginia Carr are his secre- taries. William Wallace and Harold Oldfield will soon buy out Bernstein's and establish themselves in the dry goods business with Leonardo Krupski, Marjorie Miles, Ger- trude Miller and Ida Neale as clerks, Al- berta Nickerson as buyer and Christina Palli as designer. They will be success- ful, but the peak of their success will be attained wlffen they hire Paul Doherty as floor walker. My crystal prophesies Walter Townsend and Myron Douglas as entering the min- istry. It also shows that eventually movie director, Robert Jordan, will come to Wal- ter with a contract and a chance to play opposite Mary Hanagan. I can see that Walter will be a minister no longer. Eileen McCarty and Ruth Sanger do all the script writing for Robert. Now for romance. Marjorie Pond elopes with her Roxbury boy friend-they will be married by Justice of the Peace Bart C'Donnell, and Exclyn Clough and John Armenio will stand up for them. Now I see Pandy Apostle as the Paul Whiteman of 1955 playing at Geneva Hal- pin's show boate Sailors Haven on the Charles. Mildred Grifiln, Iris Guthrie. Rita Connolly and Edith Gassett are the waitresses. Foresight now discloses Peg Brennan as PAGE ELEVEN Mosse msnrure creamy 14 EAST CENTRAL grpqggy NAT-ICK MA Q1 U30
