JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL “Ginnie” Driver, leaves her broken romance with Everett Bennet to Ruth Dawson and her Boop-boop-doop hicup to Mary Burns. Elaine Eldredge leaves her feminine touch about men to Arlene Walker, who un¬ doubtedly believes in her photographic senior boy friend. Dot Elliot, that shy young blushing violet, leaves her genuine all wool blushes to Dot Reeves, and a bit of her marshmallow fluff hair to Josephine Vernile who can go into business herself with only competition from Frank McEvoy, who won’t be downed when it comes to curls. George Flanagan, the boy upon whom teachers depend but who doesn’t depend upon them, leaves his place in the Dobson-Werenchuck Barge, to Frank Cunio, and his innocence to Bill Currier, who is entirely too inocent already. Ray Gosda, John Beanland’s close companion in nature’s feint, leaves his algebraic talent to John Kane and his size 11 shoe, (he’s, decided to go barefooted,) to Bronislaw Polichnowski, who undoubtedly will have a tight fit. Gerty Gillespie, that astonishing senior, leaves a pair of stockings (she threw ’em away first) to Tishy Roberts and a pair of garters to Stanley Ward. If Stanley can’t use them, he is to give them to Rita McDonald. Paul Hickingbotham leaves his favorite subject, Senior Social Science, to Paul Whittaker, and his beautifully colored hair to Frank Korycki. Libby Handy, leaves her audacious and monstrous figure to Violet Turner and her night slippers, which she uses at two o’clock in the morning, to Rachel Dufton. Margaret Hunt, another of that football hero’s admirers, leaves her French accent to Dot Lebel. Eileen Lavin leaves her preference for graduates to Julia Malek and her sandwich toaster to Phillipa Marchese who just loves toast. Margaret Law, whose fingers fly all over a typewriter, leaves her knack to Dot Taylor, who has quite a bit to learn, and her ruses to save typewriters to Tessie Walsh, who also has a few tricks up her sleeves concerning these matters. Edy Lundquist, most naturally the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lundquist, leaves a bit of the fudge which she made for the A. A. Play to Marion Currier, and her appetite for these delicious sweets to Helen McEvoy, who by the way, should eat Bon Bons instead. Marion Lyon, a Boxford Belle who dosen ' t ring for every one, leaves her share of the Boxford Moon to Deborah Stillings and her ravishingness for an eraser to Irene LaPrelle. Frank McEvoy, the boy with the most breath-taking smiles (for girls only), leaves his Junior Damsel to James Demetri Evangelos, his beautiful curls, over which he has labored many a spare, to Henry Martin, and his ring to Corinne Lewis. Vincent Felix Miller, the modern Romulus, who has devised new answers for physics problems, leaves his answers to Henry Konicur, and his immense vocabulary, portions of which Webster never heard, to Ralph Joyce . Helen Louise McCarthy, “Pat” for short, leaves her indelible lipstick, which becomes delible when heated, to Claire Carroll, and her preference for boys—freshmen, sophomores, juniors, seniors, P. Gs. and points higher, to Catherine Cunningham. Elizabeth McRobbie leaves her athletic talent to Eleanor Robertson and her tired voice to George Nolan. Arthur Russell Olson leaves his most saintly expression to Joe McEvoy and his booming bass voice to Ruth Kershaw who must use it sparingly with Jimmy. Arthur Tinsley Payne, Jr., leaves his self-made book of facts and his right arm to Anna Moore. Alison Pitkin, who holds a warm spot in the heart of a very sleepy senior boy, leaves the spot to Evelyn Bunker, and her most angelic smile to Mary Koroskys. Catherine Roche leaves her memories of Wood Lane to Yvonne Vandenchecke. She leaves her brief-case, which is always stuffed, with books or otherwise, to Marietta Hill.

Earl Dale Smith, the atom of the Senior Class, leaves his lamb, just like Mary ' s, only it barks, to Walter Frederick. Nellie Szymosek leaves her dreams of the boy who sits beside her, T. C., to Marie Doiron. Raymond Amery Towne, Jr. leaves his boldness towards girls and his love of dances to that ever giggling junior, Laurence Higginbotham. 20

i 9 3 5 YEAR BOOK Class Will We, the first, last and foremost class of 1935, bequeath to our teachers, those who are bespectacled and otherwise, their ability, if that’s what it’s called, to detect the slightest noise when there isn’t any. Moreover, we, the aforementioned class of 1935, after four to five years of working by the sweat of our teachers’ brows, have decided to willingly leave the friendly folds of their skirts and give, not sell, to the thriving Junior Class our dexterity in finishing our homework. Huck Andrew, that mildly cured boy from West Boxford, leaves his bashfulness when alone with girls, to that boy with the indefatigable wind, LeRoy Walcott Duncan. Gordon Andrew, another of those rare Boxford specimens, leaves his trusty glasses, which have served him for four long years, to that unassuming junior, Bill Andrews, who is not to be mixed up with the former Andrew or there will be some mix up. Betty Atkinson leaves her maternal touch to Allison Kirk and her kindness to that popular young junior model, Rita Rand, with the advice, Stay as sweet as you are.” John Edison Beanland, the boy who’s alway N s in need of an alarm clock, leaves his technique to sleep with one eye closed and the other open, to his brother, Henry Follansby Beanland, who seems to stay awake without any effort, unlike his brother. Emile Boulanger leaves his John Barrymore profile to George Banker. Joe Budnick leaves his book of self experiences to Kenny Dobson, who is writing a book on the same subject. Blanche Herberta Barwell, leaves her dreams of Paul Coppeta to Doris Albrecht with the advice, “Don’t stay awake too long. He dosen’t fall, he tackles.” Beatrice Binns, who doesn’t know one boy from another, bashfully leaves her book on “Boys” to Sylvia Broderick, saying, “I won’t need it where I’m going and I’m sure Slyvia can add something of interest to it.” She also leaves her natural blond hair to Stella Ringalo who, according to secret service women, uses the highest grade coloring. Gladys Butterfield, that Mae West from Mass. Ave., sells her stocks, “Boys and their Habits, Inc.,” to the ever buying junior girl, Mildred Bara, and her soft, wavy hair, to Winnie Perry, the Venus of the Junior Class. Henry Camire, that heart breaking lawyer of the A. C law firm who has never lost a case yet, even with women, leaves his share of the partnership to Tom Barron, and his undisputed positions as class sheik and freshman lover to George Bartholomew Casserly and Robert Riley. That handsome brute, Odelle Francis Cashman, who never looks five times at a woman, (they all look at him,) leaves his ability to slay ’em to Eddy Werenchuck, his favorite sophomore girl friend E. S. to Oscar Evanturel Richard, and his masculine features to Tony Kapeika, who by the way, isn’t so bad himself, according to rumors spread by the Johnson High School females. Wellington Elmer Cassidy, that modern Horatius at the bridge, leaves the bridge to Carl Olson and his loaf of rye bread to Bill Brown Sipsey. Tommy Ceplikas, the one man faculty of the Senior Class, leaves a few of his honors to Charlie Pitman, saying, “He needs ’em.” He also leaves his bashful smile, when someone’s watching him, to “Pop” Macklin. Ralph Simon Champion, the Senior Class’ contribution to F. C., a freshman, leaves his delapidated, air-conditioned hat, the like of which homing pigeons have never seen, to Captain John Benson and his soft mellow croons, not coos, to Blondy Kasheta. Paul Coppeta, the unrivaled woman’s man, leaves a few of his followers to Steve Barbett, and a pair of boxing gloves, which he lost, to Harry Cohen, and the laces to John Curtin. Helen Connelly, that modern Helen of Troy, leaves her favorite song of songs, “The Lullaby of Broadway” to Grace McNally. Phyllis Culpon, that individual who disbelieves in “egoism” leaves her thirst for beautiful hair to Mary Greenler and her special recipe for cooking steaks in kerosene oil to her brother, Horace Culpon, who found out it was kerosene when he took the first mouthful. Kate Daw, the senior dressmaker who knows all about needles and threads, leaves a spool of her two for a nickel thread to Barbara Mason with the knowledge that the thread is too meager to support an attempted suicide, and a needle to Carolyn Currier saying, “Easy there, that’s the last I have.” Mabel Dill, that vociferous girl of many words, leaves a few of her skirts to Grace McNally, her seat on a certain motorcycle to Kathleen Smith, and her sidekick, Ruth Dawson, to the boy of many characteristics, Fred Phelan. 19

i 9 3 5 YEAR BOOK Leonard Windle, the senior wizard, leaves his superior technique in scholastic ability and his desires for a Prom to Fernley Wilcox. Frances Whittaker leaves the keys of her piano, some of which are out of tune, to Barbara Eagle. Dot Wooley, one of those unusual girls, leaves her woolev hair to Phyllis Keating. Joe Fitzgerald, who believes that twenty years from now letters with parachutes attached to them will be dropped from the air into little boxes erected for this purpose on the roof, leaves his wisdom tooth to Vitold Gabys who needs a little wisdom. Rene Richard unwillingly leaves his curly hair, after it’s cut, to no one in particular, who may take it or not, who knows? Everett Bennett leaves a few inches of his height to Dan Connelly. Winifred Baldwin leaves her Marlene Detriech figure to Margaret McLay. Jenny Zabronowicz leaves a few of her grapevine curls to Helen Mackie. After much consideration and doubt I have finally decided to leave this school, of course with the consent of our teachers who are extremely kind and helpful in every way concerning the detention room and their helpful explanation of why a pupil is sent to the detention room. Having thus decided to keep what further valuables we may possess to the ex¬ clusion of others, and seeing that the juniors are still ignorant enough to accept them, I hurriedly affix my signature to this most worthy and legal document. On this eleventh day and hour of June, in the year of our Lord, One Thousand Nine Hundred and Thirty-five, I hereby leave this valuable manuscript to our successors. Signed, ARTHUR AARONIAN, in behalf of the Class of 1935. Witnesses: WILLIAM CALLAHAN EDITH L. PIERCE VEVA M. CHAPMAN DOROTHY COLBURN 21
