JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL boy, George Page. Don’t make as much fuss over her as Ralph did, will you, George? “Sunshine” Annette Silverstein leaves her potential smile and her liking for that senior boy to Ruth Curley. Fred Coram with breaking heart, bequeaths his list of telephone numbers to that fortunate junior, George Martin, with the advice, “the blonde is the best.” Martha Curran leaves her way of getting on the best side of a certain phys¬ ics teacher to Sarah Lewis. John Dilendik leaves his well thumbed booklet, “One Thousand Ways to Fame and Fortune” to the junior class. Catherine Lefebvre endows her morning rides to school right to the front door (incidentally this is to be taken literally) of our institution to Mary McCallion who is perhaps not so fortunate. Stanley Buturlia leaves his kerosene lamp with which he burns the mid¬ night oil in collaboration with other pupils on overdue assignment papers to William Driscoll. Dorothy Sutton wills her method of studying hard without getting thin to Barbara Dillon to whom this information might be helpful. Edward Clarenbach bequeaths his ability of being able to fall asleep in any conceivable position or under any conditions to Charles Gillespie. Try going to bed nights, Charlie. Veronica Fitzgerald leaves Frances McRobbie her basketball abilities and her most delightful, entrancing and all-the-other-adjectives-that-describe-her figure in an evening dress. Tom Sullivan to Tom Pendlebury, the honor of being class president, his position in sports, and the thousand and one other accomplishments, one of which is: how one should be quiet. OH YEAH!! Rosealice Hargreaves to Helen McEvoy that certain demureness that seems characteristic of the vicinity of Stevens Corner. Herbert “Bud” Barwell, the woman hater, (or I may be wrong) leaves his Clark Gable characteristics to that enormous lad, Gerald Calahan. Bud tells me to tell Cal to keep away from Elm Street. Helen Waters, our new senior, leaves her glorious goldy locks and her beautiful blue eyes to Hilda Binns who has plenty to spare. Robert Binns wills to Kenneth Dill his conduct approval slip and his de¬ cidedly uncomfortable seat in Physics IV. Here’s hoping you enjoy it as much as he didn’t, Ken. Mary Gray leaves her oratorical ability to the pale people’s aid, The Plunk- et Pink Pills’ girl, Ruth Derby. Clayton Kennedy bestows his method of doing other pupils’ homework to Sam Turner. One good turn deserves another, Sam. Hazel Blanch, our peachy looking dramatic star, leaves Virginia Carvell the answer to the question, “Who won the war?” Hazel Winning gives to Veronica Peterson her long ride down Salem St. to get to our dear Johnson. John Welch bestows his fiery temper upon Francis Nutter, who doesn’t need it but who may be able to take better care of it than someone else. Elizabeth Walker leaves her front seat in Room 8 to Lois Pitkin who will just love to raise the curtains every morning at the beginning of school. 26

1938 YEAR BOOK Bernard Champion bequeaths his wonderful accomplishments in the art of ad libbing- to Robert Farrell. Incidentally this means talking a lot and say¬ ing nothing. Don’t be perturbed, boys, as we all do it occasionally. Bill Whittaker bestows upon Bob Downing his knowledge of the weaker sex. Bob’s trumpet should herald a good approach for him. Rose Aaronian wills her ability to get along with everybody to Marietta Nussbaum who does an OK job. Paul Hurd, our distinguished student, leaves a life net to Art Banker so he will be able to catch that certain freshman girl as she leaps to the ground. Lucky Johnson is not a sky-scraper, eh Paul? Caroline Chase leaves her hospitality to Pauline Frisbee with the warning, “li ghts on or kitchen chairs against the wall.” William Sherlock, radiologist, bequeaths his energies in that field to Allan Gesing who probably isn’t interested anyway. Helen Stefanovich bequeaths a few of her admiring swains along with a string of broken hearts to Norma Morton. James Lewis, the advocate of what the well dressed man will wear, leaves his ability to that junior fashion plate, John McClay. Priscilla Lewis endows her lease, the one on the back of a green touring Ford with orange wheels, to Betty Roberts. We understand that Betty likes the location. John fames, the fractional giant, wills his physical attributes to Frank Thompson, who knows well how to use, the extra altitude. Cartoonist Donald Porter leaves his handiwork to Dave Provencher with tho.admonition, “Cooks and cows don’t mix as you will see in Economics IV.” Elizabeth Rennie, the busy bee, bequeaths her busy buzzing to Elizabeth Hodge, who knows how to use it. Frank Broadhead wills his story entitled, “How to get along with the girl,” to Ben Isherwood who, I understand is doing all right on Harkaway Road. To May Barnes, Marcie Costello leaves her desire for that certain senior boy with that certain 1938 Buick complete with red wheels, radio, etc. Clarkson Earl, physicist de luxe, leaves Brian McKiernan wondering what happens when an irresistible force meets an immovable body. Aren’t we all, boys, aren’t we all? Velma Lynch leaves her freshman boy who is not afraid of our teachers, one especially, to Ruby Cochrane. Us senior boys is hard to get, ain’t we, Velma? James Stewart wills Kenneth Brierley and Americ Lanni his innocent ex¬ pression at all times. Frances Campbell, that charming senior, endows her Saturday night date to Ruth Whittaker, who does all right. I think Joe will agree, don’t you, Ruth? Clayton DeNault leaves his one arm driving mania to Charles Foster, who has something for which to drive one-handed. Go ahead and blush, Frances, I’m sure no one minds. Georgianna Curley wills her abilities to wield a paint brush and crayon art¬ istically to Evelyn Koenig. However, Georgianna throws a wow of a house party, too. Ralph Crompton endows his life-like picture of Sonja Henie to that junior 25

1938 YEAR BOOK To Robert Bell, George Henry LaFountain, Junior, better known as “Chu” leaves his Ford and his frequent trips to South Lawrence. Perhaps a bus would be better, boys, or am I wrong? Elfreda Withee bequeaths her modesty to Cecilia Gulanowski. Maybe it’s modesty, but I have my doubts. Frances Debrowski bestows upon Ruth Richardson the honor of making a speech on the night of graduation. Allen Towne, the Houdini of physics lab, wills his ability to make the ex¬ periments click to Ralph Pratt. “You guess at half and then multiply by two,” says Allen. James Hayes, the deep and silent man, gives his reticence to James Shaw, who knows “there is gold in them thar’ silent hills.” Dorothy Richardson leaves her “Everybody’s Aid Bureau” to Nellie Sum¬ mers, who hopes she will be able to help as many juniors as Dorothy did seniors. John Fletcher, hot cha boy of Johnson and points north, east, south, and west, wills his graceful “Big Apple” to Henry Bonney. Don’t bring your brief case, Henry, as the “Big Apple” is a dance. Louise Kennedy leaves her one hundred and one assorted boy frinds for all occasions to Lillian Maker who, I understand, has a few of her own. How about it, Clarky? Philip Howard, the nemesis of Miss McAloon’s peaceableness, bequeaths to Philip Young his uncanny knack of raising that charming fire in her eyes. Rita Roche, golden-voiced “saprani” who did so well over station WLAW, wills her talents to Margaret Keating who really does not need them, as she plays an excellent violin. Diminutive “Pete” Evangelos, our smiling outfielder, endows upon Jimmy Yule his enduring smile. Well you can catch more flies with molasses than with vinegar, eh, boys? Florence Vernile, the Miss South Lawrence of North Andover, wills her successful method of passing notes to Winifred Temple. We are told this can be accomplished under the noses of the faculty if practiced long enough. Lightning Bob Carroll, to Frank Hill, bequeaths his half hour excursion between Room 2 and Room 12. Remember that the shortest distance be¬ tween two points is a straight line, Frank. Myra Stillwell leaves the boiling grey matter between her ears to that up and coming junior, Helen Greenler, who has plenty of what it takes. Laurence Shyne wills Ernest Fionte his indifference to work of any kind, size, shape, or manner. Edna Millward bequeaths her pair of shoes that will positively not make a sound when coming in late upon Mary Peel. Joe Shea bequeaths his abilities of making intricate designs with glass tub¬ ing to Robert Miller, that little cut-up of the junior class. Barbara Hainsworth, the girl of a thousand nicknames, wills her weakness for the stronger sex in general to Irene Byron. Frank Coug hlin, advociferous ambassador from Boxford, leaves his great attributes to his sister, Rosamond, who could get by, if necessary, with her attractiveness. Lily Ackroyd wills her petiteness to Shirley Nussbaum. It’s all right, Lily. Good things come in small packages. 27
