THE GOBBLER-1945 JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL Therese Enaire leaves her towering height to Carol Berry, also her spike heels. Our ever-babbling “Put a Nickle In It” Stewart Wilson leaves his well- polished tonsils to Eddie Pevine and Larry Walker. Lord knows, he has enough gab for two. “ Journal ” and “ Gobbler ” Editor, Bette Lewis, leaves her place of superior standing to June Davis. Her accomplishments were many. Carry on, June. Superman, but well-mannered gentleman and lover of Senior Social Science, John Wood, leaves his S. S. S. notebook to Freddie White. Please handle it gently. Jane Loring leaves her adorable profile and her books on “How To Hold One Man So Long” to Audrey Ferrin. But does Audrey need it??? Lloyd Bauchman leaves his large economy size bottle of hair slicker to Jerry Kent. Scissors would do a neater job, so Vincent Ippolito can do the honors. Anna Greenwood leaves her delightful “Mum—AH’s” while reciting to Jean Gurdy. She does it in such a cute way, Jean. Dave Pickles, Benny Hollins, Tom Crabtree and Phil Rugh leave all their K. P. duties to you fellows entering the service, and believe me, they are plen¬ tiful. Ethel Raitt leaves her understanding of others’ problems to Eleanor Finn. Just call her Mrs. Anthony. t Henry Enaire leaves his Tarzan build to that girl-killer “Petit” Bill Gosselin. (Can’t you see Bill swinging through the trees in a leopard skin?) One of our basketball stars, Irene Costello, leaves her talent for baffling opposite players, and sometimes even the referee, with her quick moves, to Gloria Bottai. With Irene’s addition, Gloria will be a super-woman this coming year. Eugene Bohnwagner leaves his love for Senior Business Training and his many books on “How to Get Out of Home Work in Ten Easy Lessons” to Oscar Soucy and Bill Wilson. Or have you already learned this lesson, boys? Good nature and friendliness are left by Mary Driscoll to June Ingram and Shirley Kelly, but not her days she got put out of E. and M. Remember, Mary? Betty Morton has decided not to will away any of her extra brains, but her peaches and cream complexion goes to Blanche Turner. (Although Blanche has both already.) Our one and only Billy Finneran leaves his freckles and red hair, and Van Johnson appeal with women, to Eddie Mooradkanian. Also his dreadful dull ties. Fran Donnelly, voted our cutest girl, leaves her appealing smile to Rita Mulcahey and Rita Nicetta. The fellows like it girls, at least Freddie does. Dave Manahan leaves his book of “Etiquette,” secured from his girl at the library, to Eddie Hamel. But not the girl too, Eddie. George Tardiff wills his ability to tell correct time from “12 o’clock mid¬ night” on, to Bob Smith and Phil Long, just so you boys can get home earlier nights. 28

THE GOBBLER-1945 JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL Rita Connors has a job in Hainsworth’s Insurance Office. Pat Walsh is now Pat Batts. Ruth Adams took over Mrs. Richards’ job as Mr. Hayes’ private secretary. Bette Lewis is editing her own paper, “Bette’s Bugle.’’ John Pitman is its business manager. Mary Rivet and Irene Costello are nurses at the Law¬ rence General. Margaret Dill is an actress on Broadway in New York. Shirley Britton and Shirley Driscoll have ta ken over “The Den,” and have changed its name to “The Beauty Shop,” a very appropriate name, I should say. Therese Enaire is a waitress over at the Puritan. Shirley Bauchman is a stenographer in Boston and so is Phyllis Brown. Anna Greenwood is a drum majorette in the WAC band. Jackie McGuire is a pianist in the “All Girl Orchestra.” That takes in about all the class. Certainly the class of 1945 has made an impression on the world, and a de¬ pression on Johnson. However, the school has improved remarkably since we left. The cafeteria, believe it or not, has very good ice cubes now! The gym doesn’t have to be abandoned every time it rains. Little improvements here and there are constantly improving the school. Our class has achieved colossal prominence in this ever-busy post-war world. Respectfully submitted, William A. Finneran CLASS WILL Any resemblance to persons living or dead in this will to the coming Senior Class is not accidental. First of all, Jack Sullivan leaves his football captainship to Nickie Evangelos and John Wilkinson. He also leaves his tactics with women, but you two are A-l already anyway. Our thrill, thrill boy, Arnold Wilcox, leaves his poetry reading and love for English to Bill Driscoll and everyone else who can read it as well as Arnold. Our reckless, bubbling Senior Jumping Jack, Helen Turner, leaves her un¬ ending vitality to Kay Roche. Carl Schofield is leaving that adding machine he carries between his shoul¬ ders to Warren Chadwick and Arthur Drummond. Can you use it, boys? Pat Walsh wills her gracefulness and ability to hook a man to Martha Glidden. Roger Smith, nicknamed Encyclopedia Rog, leaves his outstanding ability to learn to Carmelo Mangano and Warren Finn. But Roger still has plenty left. Margaret Dill leaves her license and rules for driving “In Three Easy Les¬ sons” to Elsie Miller. Margaret also leaves her car for practice, Elsie. Eddie Bardsley’s talent for composing music and extra talent for beating the bass drum in the band is left to Gardner Cook. Howie Doherty will hold the bass drum. 27

THE GOBBLER-1945 JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL Our “Tooth-Paste” ad girl, Shirley Driscoll, leaves her sparkling set of teeth to Sally Kane. Smile, girlie, smile. Freddie Messina leaves his ability to argue and sometimes win, to Donald Kimel. Watch out for getting black eyes, Donald. Our good citizenship girl, Rita Malek, doesn’t mind parting with a little of her capacity for hard work to Ethel Winning and Emily George, as she has plenty to spare. John Pitman wills to Donald Phair and Arthur Terret, his Mr. Anthony effect on women. Remember Donald and Art, Stop—look—and then listen. Mary Werenchuk leaves one of her closets of Hollywood styles to Arlene Donnelly, and her charge account at Cherry’s also. Bill McEvoy has a special talent to leave to Francis Shottes, his outstanding fickleness with women, but you are anyway aren’t you, Francis? Our ever-cute Jeannette Rea leaves her athletic ability and special cheer¬ leading lungs, to Bev Howard. What a pair! Wow! Everyone expects Roy Marland to leave his banana-like feature (guess what) to a lucky someone, but Roy decided to leave his smooth, dreamy dancing to Norman Campbell and Bob Skinner. Boys, you’re considered competitors of Astaire now. Beautiful hunk of man, Clayton Crotch, leaves his “Vic Mature” body to A1 McKee and Clarence Spencer. He sure has plenty for two. Rita Connors leaves her ever-lasting friendliness and just plain swell per¬ sonality, to Shirley Pendlebury. Our “Class Lady,” Bobby Hutton, leaves her poise and gracefulness to Flossie Sylvia. It’s possible, Flossie. Ruth Adams has no further use for her enticing but coy smile, and thus leaves it to Margie Mitchell. Ruth did well; good luck to you, Margie. Now that Johnson is losing its woman-killer and heart-breaker, Horace Hebb, someone will have to take his place. You’re elected, Billy Torrey. Nice-. Mary Rivet leaves a few of her bothersome, but still adorable, freckles to Kay Dutton. Oh, sorry Kay, you already have plenty. Lois Valpey, teachers’ delight, but still plain swell, leaves some of her knowl¬ edge to Shirl Wentworth. Lois will use the rest to become one of our most suc¬ cessful girls. Clifton Milne leaves his quietness, but also that appealing smile, to Charlie Walsh and Joe Rand; also his smooth lines. Elizabeth Holdsworth parts with her ability to sew her own clothes like new to Joan Pitman. If you’re ever stuck, Joan, borrow Elizabeth’s. The Senior Class has great pleasure to add a little “rosiness” to the Junior Class, by leaving A1 Knuepfer’s blushing to the curly-headed dream-boy Tom Giaquinta. Can you see Tom blushing? Claire Doran leaves her “Doran Strut,” “Doran Originality” and “Doran Charm” to Barbara Lambert. Class WOLF John Canty, leaves his Essex Street ability to make girls plead 29
