THE GOBBLER-1944 JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL Doris Stewart and Marian, those two irrepressible cousins, bestow their pep and vivaciousness on Roberta Hutton. John Poh leaves his gorgeous yellow and brown plaid sweater to anyone who’d have the nerve to wear it. Kenny Dearden sadly relinquishes his golden curls to Freddie Messina. The result, you must admit, is startling. Ann LaFountain, who certainly must have expected this, leaves her title of Madame Fury to Mary Rivet. Paul Dyer passes on his admiration for Miss Kelly to Archie Cousins to keep the torch burning. Dot St. Louis passes out of Johnson’s portals with her everlasting conversa¬ tions of Stanley ringing in our ears. Shirley Driscoll inherits from sister Claire her habit of borrowing anything and everything. Evelyn Elston leaves her position as salesgirl in Grant’s to June Chamberlin. Gaspar Balsamo gratefully leaves the care of chickens to another nature lover, Tommy Crabtree. John Bamford, our own quiz kid, bequeaths his incredulous power of answer¬ ing all the sixty-four dollar questions to David Pickles. Surprised, David? Irene Narushof and Louise Nicolosi bestow their love for writing composi¬ tions upon Phyllis Brown. Babe Caiman leaves before she gets into any more trouble. Lefty Thomson passes on his wolfish instincts to John Pitman. Cecile Hamel bequeaths her big brown eyes to Charlotte Lewis. Better to see you with, my dear!

Ursula Fitzgerald bequeaths to Lorraine Lewis the days she forgot to go to math. Eligio Forgetta bestows upon Horace Hebb his attractive tooth-paste ad smile.

To Roger Smith goes Jack Howard’s perpetual aloof attitude. Pussy Jackson and Lillian Winning leave their handbook on “How to Charm Men’’ to poor bewildered Margaret Dill. Hasmig Kasparian, our newcomer, leaves her ferocious attitude on the gym floor and naive manner other places, to Ruthie Adams. Claire Lewis bestows upon Anna Greenwood her one-man complex. Harold Tyning leaves to George Tardiff his passionate love for Senior Social Science. To John Canty go Doug Lee’s sharp jackets and engaging grin.

THE GOBBLER-1944 JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL Phyllis Dearden and Audrey Stewart, the recipients of the “Johnson Jot¬ tings” column last year pass it on to Betty Morton along with careful instruc¬ tor on “How to Dig Up Dirt in Three Easy Lessons.” Viola Ruess, that deceivingly quiet member of our class, hands on her list of South Lawrence wolves to Jeannette Rea. Paul Hulub bequeaths his massive build to Henry Enaire, who probably will be astounded as to the increase in appetite which goes along with it. Alan Armstrong is the lucky boy to receive Herbert Sperry’s gentlemanly airs. Direct from John Cyr to Albert Kneupfer, who really doesn’t need them, go Johnny’s mischievousness and winning ways with the weaker sex. Shirley Donnelly, our class lady, bequeaths upon Dorothy McDowell her charming manner and dignified air. Elizabeth Holdsworth receives all Margaret Connelly’s stamps, collected during two years as stamp representative. Barbara Dandeneau grants to Mary Werenchuk her flair for writing. Pm sure Mary will sincerely appreciate that. Arthur Temple hands over his amazing debating ability to Phillip Rugh who no doubt will need it next year. Harry MacPherson, class heartbreaker, leaves his bee-yoot-i-ful car (?) to Clayton Crotch to further his research .... the subject, we’ll leave to your imagination. To Therese Enaire is left Edie Dewhirst’s nursing ambitions. Joan Fitzgerald leaves her amazing store of knowledge to Shirley Britton, who is really astounded by the whole thing. Betty Hainsworth passes on her reputation as Class (you know) Flirt to Irene Costello. How about it, Irene? Mary Gile and Dorothy Hayes pass on to Fay Vincent their typing tech¬ nique. As to any other techniques .... I really wouldn’t know. John Doherty and Donald Rennie bequeath their one-woman complex to Billy McEvoy, who could use it. Joe Stillwell and Bob Gray leave their method of fascinating females to Roy Marland, who I suspect doesn’t need it. To Eugene Bohnwagner goes Jimmy DeAdder’s store of witty (Or should I say corny?) jokes. Evelyn Lundquist leaves her good-natured manner and sunny smile to Claire Doran. To Mary Driscoll, Junior, from Mary Driscoll, Senior, goes all the confusion resulting from having the same names. John Burns and Gale Kleiner grant their mutual trait of quietness to Stewart Wilson. James Cornell leaves his lovely pink complexion to Arnold Santos. Embar¬ rassing, isn’t it? Marilyn Drummond reluctantly gives up her coveted French reference book to any member of Miss Cook’s next year Senior French class. 27

As one chatterbox to another, Caroline Hayman hands over her accordion to Rita Connors. Eddie Bardsley almost faints when he inherits Tommy Gosselin’s Sinatra- like manner and super-special line. Jean Gordon and Josephine Guerrera pass on to Lois Valpey the times they got sidetracked on the way to school. Freddie Crosdale, our busiest Senior, leaves his position as Business Manager on the Journal to Lloyd Bauchman, who is rather overwhelmed by the prospect. George Casale bequeaths his special Latin lover technique to Edward Cun¬ ningham. David Manahan is the lucky boy who receives Howard Rottler’s own special brand of dancing.

Irene Miller and Anna McKinnon both contribute their lovely voices to Helen Calder, who is quite overcome by this sudden musical ability. Jane Russell leaves her dignified and hi-hat manner to anyone who has the poise to carry it off and still remain charming. Stuart Wood, who donned the Navy blue recently, hopes Arnold Wilcox will do the same. Upon John Wood, Robert Olenio bestows his perpetual smile and wise crack. To Ethel Raitt goes Marie Saunders’ famed strapless evening gown. Marie McDonough bequeaths upon Jane Loring her liking for out-of-town Romeos. And last but not least Gloria Wilson leaves her originality to Lil Balavich, who already has a generous supply of her own. Shirley Hamilton CLASS PROPHECY pi S I sit under the palm tree in front of the main building of the huge Arabian P Oil Refinery trying hard to avoid the bright rays of the hot summer sun, I j] think longingly of the day a year from now, in 1960, when work will be completed and I can return to the United States and to North Andover. It’s so lonely over here. If only I knew what was happening among my old friends and classmates! 29
