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

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 for dates, to none other than our Junior boy mashers, Arthur Carlson and the Brightman brothers. Be careful of this talent boys; it’s dynamite. Lillian Balavich, our one and only “original” senior blond, leaves her life¬ guard tactics to Alma Sanford. She certainly saved many fellows from loneliness. Betty Riedel leaves her 120 award in shorthand, to Barbara Cochrane and Ethel Shapcott. You can write notes much faster that way, girls. Dot McDowell leaves her multiple interests to Rose Lawlor. Hazel Wood, Miss Neal’s senior type dream-girl, wills her type erasure to Ruby Dill and Rita Coppola. Also Hazel’s grief to leave type. Attractive Fay Vincent leaves her twinkling eyes and giggle to Roberta Savoy and Helena Saunders. Put them to good use, girls. Miss Torpey’s grief will be in losing hard-working and lady-like friendly Phyllis Brown. The only one for such an honor is Pat Bredbury. Those gorgeous eyes of blue, which belong to Helen Calder, are leaving their gleam to entrance our Johnson men next year, to Nancy Kinports. But does Nancy need them? June Chamberlain’s love for shorthand goes to Mabel Arlit, and also June’s charm. That everlasting twosome, Shirl Bauchman and Charlotte Lewis, leave their babble of whispers and enchanting secrets to that Junior couple, Claire War¬ wick and Eleanor Marland. Shirley Britton leaves her sweetness and kerchief to keep her fluffy, but pretty, hair in place on rainy days, to Eleanor Gaudet and Margaret Holder. It’s so much easier to get a permanent, girls. Faithful Jackie McGuire leaves her love of Johnson to Mary Ness. She came all the way back from Cleveland to prove it. Last, but far from least, Lorraine Lewis leaves her untiring “swell-ness” to everyone, and her supply of sweaters to Velma Hinton. Yours truly wishes only to leave an expression of sympathy to the writer of next year’s will, and a word of experience, “The truth always hurts, so why tell it?” Shirley E.
