JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL Henry Narushof leaves the Natushof way of handling women, and an accompany¬ ing black eye to Ralph Champion. “Bo” Boulanger bequeaths to Lawrence Lafond his omnipresent package of “Kentucky Club,” and his smoky reveries to Wellington Cassidy. Virginia Bixby and Helen Clarenbach, incorporated, forming the brain trust of Johnson High School, leave their great knowledge of a few things to Art Paine, who thinks he knows a lot about everything. Joe Fitzgerald leaves Johnson High School to its own fate, having decided not to tarry any longer. He also leaves his side-kick, Eddie Welch, to Thelma Brightman, with a carefully marked label, “A yegg. Handle carefully.” Francis Aloysius Ellsworth John Howard, better known as Iggy” Howard, leaves all of his surnames, and his meditative pose to Frank Cashman. Ellen Riley leaves her “And I don’t like you either” to Gladys Butterfield, and her cast iron fingernails to Elaine Eldredge, whom we hope will use them judiciously. John Roy, with a generosity quite rare in these after-days of depression, leaves the contents of his empty pocket-book to Virginia Driver, cautioning Virginia to spend wisely. “Doc” Graham, loud politician and obnoxious agitator, leaves his autobiog¬ raphy, “You Can Blame It All On Repeal,” to Catherine Daw. Henry Kennedy, after much deliberation, has decided to leave his dust laden French book, and the contents of the waste-basket in Room 8 to Pauly Coppetta, knowing that Pauly will enjoy reading some of the notes in said basket. Frances Bamford and Arlene McAvoy, having written a book entitled, “How to Do Homework,” have at last found recipients upon whom to endow its contents. With much wisdom, they have decided to keep the book for themselves. Hermie Cass bequeaths one of his cute curls to Phyllis Culpon, and leaves his own cure for insomnia to Frances Whittaker. Having rid ourselves of these cumbersome burdens, and fearing that our successors may be desirous of returning them, we, the Class of 1934, do hereby—with a borrowed pencil—affix our signature to this worthy document. Signed, Henry Kennedy in behalf of the Class of 1934 Witnesses: Eileen McAloon William P. Callahan 24

19 3 4 YEAR BOOK Stevie Martin, the bookworm, leaves his nightly visits to Stevens’ Library, and the pleasant hours spent there to any romantic junior boy. Margaret Smith leaves a slightly chewed pencil, and a well worn eraser to Blanche Barwell, who writes very amusing notes. Isabelle Fenton confides one of her letters from a certain prospective, “Sharlie,” to Barbara McKenzie with a hurried, “For goodness sakes, hush!” James Casserly, that two-fisted, double-jointed hombre of the Senior Class leaves his rough, bullying ways to that dainty, fairy-like creature, Earl Smith. Marguerite Phelan leaves her out-of-town interest to the jurisdiction of the local Chamber of Commerce; and her maddening expression, “Dat’s too bad!” to Elizabeth Atkinson. Helen Davis leaves the honor of being the shyest girl in the class to Nellie Symo- sek, and her becoming blush to anyone who wants the nickname, “Dolly.” Rita Coppinger leaves school with many remembrances of those nice boys, and the way they can act when peeved. (Rita is sensitive on this point.) Genie Walsh, foremost in the field of gigolos, leaves his dance-room philosophy, “Have I got rhythm,” to the new music teacher, Mae Leach, and his characteristic modesty to Margaret Law. Ruth Wormald, the big-little girl of the Senior Class, bequeaths her teacher-proof method of communication to Beatrice Binns, the greatest of all gossips. Rita Massey leaves—Yes, by golly, she does leave Johnson High School! Helen Koroskys sadly relinquishes her afternoon visits to Room 12, to Gladys Butterfield, slyly informing Gladys that the Detention Room is enjoyed by the best of men. Mary Martin, Mary O’Brien, Mary Hulub, and Beatrice Pendlebury, the four feminine Musketeers, leave their monopoly of the brave sex to any other equally good- looking quartet. Florence Syddall leaves her toe-dancing form to Paul Hickingbotham who wants to keep that girlish figure, also an illustrated booklet on, “How to cure bunions.” Alice Roy speaking in broad terms, leaves to the administrative department of Johnson High School a personal request for larger and “Oh! so much stronger” chairs. Arlene McCormack, being a firm believer of the NRA and thereby in favor of the word “give,” parts wistfully with her ample store of knowledge, bestowing it upon a very worthy and needy cause, namely, Winifred Baldwin. Mary Perry pleading “not guilty” to charges of advertising, leaves to any nerve- wracked history student the advice, “Smoke Camels. ’ ’ Marion Jackson emerging from school, leaves all minor interests to the juniot girls transferring her attention to a certain former student, now attending school at Danvers. Dorothy Dill leaves her second-hand history notebook to Gertrude Gallant, thereby proving the statement that history—or at least a history notebook repeats itself. John Kennedy with marked kindness in one so gifted leaves his marvelous singing to the Massachusetts Institute for the Deaf. 23
