JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL John Benson leaves a few of his basketball trophies to John Chadwick, also his advice on how to steer clear of all hero worshippers. Claire Carroll with characteristic generosity leaves her happy-go-lucky nature to Barbara Chase. Joe McEvoy leaves to John Klufts some of his innocence. Mildred Bara leaves a few of her admiring swains, along with a string of broken hearts, to Doris Kent. Deborah Stillings leaves to Annie McNeil a flashlight, so when coming home nights after late dates, she can find her way around. Marietta Hill leaves a fe,w inches to Rose Vernile, who is just as cute as she is. Bobby Riley leaves Carol Barker his weekly Saturday night visits. It’s a long walk out, Bobby, but we’re sure it’s worth it. Speed Gabys leaves to Bud Roberts his ability to write poetry to certain members of the fair sex, with the earnest wish that Bud does not get into trouble with it as Speed did one day, much to the embarrassment of a very lovely Senior girl. Benny Polichnowski, after much deliberation, leaves his ability to talk himself around any argument inside of school or out, to Ernie Roberts, who possibly may have had more use for it this year in history than he will next; and his go-getter attitude toward the ladies to Tony Detora. Dorothy Reeves leaves her bottles of wave set, curlers, and other imple¬ ments of war against men to Dorothy Lord, with the hope that Dot does as good a job with them as she has done. Ralph Joyce, to the surprise of the Senior class, leaves his love of econ¬ omics to Pete McGrail, who we are sure will need much more than Ralph ' could ever leave him. Stanley Ward, Beau Brummel of the Senior class, with a great soulful sigh, leaves to Chester Lundquist the love of the typewriting room in which he spent most of his spares, and his title of “Teacher’s Pet” which he worked so hard for with the help of a certain commercial teacher, to Stuart Coughlin. Peggy McLay leaves to Julia Narushof some of her Webster’s Standard Dictionary words and the proper pronunciation of the same, hoping that Julia uses them as frequently and as properly as she has done. Ruth Kershaw and Jimmy Evangelos leave their method of staying in love through two years of high school to Teddy Cassidy and Carl Lager, whoi haven’t found the perfect system yet. Doris Albrecht leaves her famous cooking recipes to Barbara Eldridge, who may be able to open her own tea room some day with their help. Dan Connelly leaves his spontaneous grin which he has found helps out a lot to Tom McKiernon. Such a combination of brains and cheerfulness ought to prove irresistible. Barbara Eagle leaves her pamphlet on “Beauty through Dignity” to Ann Dineen who seems to forget occasionally that she’s grown up. Hannah Gofif leaves her white elephants to Olive Grove along .with her shares in the Sophomore class. We’ll leave this warning—“Remember that an elephant never forgets, so take it easy on Tom.” Ray Dufton leaves to Eileen Doherty her ability to fall for various mem¬ bers of the faculty, with or without their consent. Steve Barbett, after much persuasion decides to leave to Norman Stead his frequent fits of giggling, which seem to come on in some mysterious man- 24

1936 YEAR BOOK CLASS WILL © E the Class of 1936, having emerged victorious after four years of active warfare, hereby bequeath to our most humble successors a few trifles, hoping they will follow the sage advice given in the following ponder¬ ous document. To the faculty we leave our earnest thanks and the re¬ mains of their steel-covered nerves, and to the student body our deepest sym¬ pathy which we hope will sustain them through their remaining years of school. Mary McIntosh leaves her preference for out-of-town fellows, (privately we believe it ' s a good idea) to Ruth Keating. Ruth Dawson leaves a pair of her famous toeless sandals to Mary Thompson. Phillipa Marchese leaves her nonchalant air, (we wonder if she smokes Murads) to Phyllis Pearl who is a little too serious. Kathleen Smith leaves her secret method for keeping blonde hair blonde to Pearl Donnelly. Irene LaPrelle leaves the inside story of her many affairs to Pearl Waterhouse, who we’ll wager could write a fairly good story along the same lines herself. Mary Burns leaves her quiet friendliness and good fellowship to Elineth McCubbin who has made herself popular by these same characteristics. Bill Andrews leaves Paul Bixby a little enthusiasm for the Anti-War League, which he feels, maybe Paul will need before he’s through. Roland Gesing and Everett Bennett leave.with regrets. Carl Olson leaves his intellectual mind to John Patterson who perhaps is, still wondering what the word means. , Dorothy Taylor leaves some of her vitality to Stella Mazurenko who will need it if she doesn’t get a new car. Yvonne Vandenhecke leaves her modesty to Elizabeth Temple. Corinne Lewis leaves her diary entitled: “Memories of a Mo dern Cleo¬ patra” to Marion Bamford who we hope will give the rest of us a chance to read it. We always wanted to know what really happened to a very serious, affair. Bud Cunio bequeaths to Warren Drew his title of Rudy Vallee of the Senior Class. Henry Martin leaves to Frank Murphy his nightly post at Perkin’s Drug( Store with the warning “You can have the post, but not the girl.” Henry Beanland leaves some of his long leggedness and characteristic walk to Everett Woodhouse. Arlene Walker leaves her various hues of fingernail polish to Evelyn Sauvegeot. Use it only with Frankie’s permission, of course, Evelyn. Barbara Mason leaves her ability to talk for fifteen-minute stretches to Dot Rokes, Dot may be able to use this gift when anger takes her breath away. Tom Barron leaves his most successful cure for insomnia, forty-five min¬ utes in an Economics Class to Frank Spofford, and his love of fresh air to Gilbert Rea. Helen Mackie leaves some of the perseverance which has made her one of our best girl students, to Katherine Sheridan. 23

1936 YEAR BOOK ner whenever he approaches the vicinity of Speed Gabys and Jimmy Evan- gelos. Billy Currier leaves some of his business ability to George Dehullu, hop¬ ing of course that George doesn’t build up too thriving a business Horace Culpon leaves his pamphlet “What the well dressed man is wear¬ ing” which, by the way we feel he refers to occasionally, to Joe Maker, and ' some of his bashfulness to Tony Detora who isn’t blessed with that particular £ ift Grace McNally leaves to Marie Doiron her newest invention— a pair of felt shoes which Grace told us confidentially come in very handy when com¬ ing home in the wee small hours of the morning. Mary Koroskys leaves to Doris Dimery her genteel voice. Maybe with what you have, Doris we’ll hear from you some day. Allison Kirk leaves to Rachel Kruswitz her map of North Andover, all dark lanes clearly labeled and checked as to nightly population of each. This is so Rachel wont be led astray by any city slicker. Kay Currier leaves a few of the fights she has with a certain “Guy” to Dorothy McGregor. Maybe this will relieve the monotony a bit, Dot. Kay also [eaves her annual parts in the A. A. play to that talented young Junior, Marie Dolon, whom we have noticed is doing very well for herself. Stella Ringalo leaves to Helen McEvoy her private address book of Law¬ rence’s Dine and Dance Resorts. Eleanor Robertson leaves her well thumbed directory entitled “The Cream of the Johnson Crop” to the most cheerf ul of Junior Girls, Emily Sanderson, just in case you ever want a change, Emily. Winifred Perry leaves her patent on a specially constructed clock which hangs on the kitchen wall, guaranteed to shut off at ten o’clock to Peggy McRobbie, whom we understand is also a night owl. Sylvia Broderick leaves to Isabelle Phelan her title of “best all round girl,” which we feel she most justly deserves, and to Rosemary Cashman the good sportsmanship which has made her a leader in sports. Doris Lebel leaves to Alice Emmason her knack of doing things perfect¬ ly the first time, and the respect which she has gained from classmates and faculty to cute Helen Daw. Tony Kapeika leaves his booklet, “A Thousand Ways to Fame and For¬ tune” to Needham Brown along with a few pointers on how to conduct an orderly Senior class meeting. George Casserly leaves his treasured violin to Joseph Katter who, we hear, can handle it nicely too. Rita McDonald leaves a book entitled “Happy Days spent in the Racket Store” to Frances Kmiec, who may find many valuable tips therein. Grace Pearson leaves her cpiiet, demure little ways to curly headed Olga Ceplikas. Julia Malek leaves her ability to wield a crayon and paint brush artist¬ ically to Mary Curtin. Violet Turner leaves her successful method of passing notes during spare periods to Alice Hadys. We are told this can be accomplished under the very noses of the sharpshooters of the faculty, if practiced for long enough. John Curtin leaves memories of week-end visits to Boston damsels to Frank Symosek, and a fe,w football laurels to Harold West. Marion Currier leaves her persistent good nature to Phyllis Gallant along 25
