Now you’ll be able to lift “them golden slippers.” Vi Nicosia, the busy bee, bequeaths her buzzing to Justine Fitzgerald, who we are sure won’t need this to be always busy. To Joan Reilly goes Lucy Gucciardi’s fine footwork on the basket-ball court. We know with Joan’s fine ability as guard, this added talent for forward will bring a bright new star to Johnson. Cyn Ebersbach and Jan Fessenden pass on to Helen Hilse their everlasting conversation which has found many ears. We’re sure Helen will be pleased, as our chatterboxes have won many friends with their talkative ways. Now, Helen, you have two chatterboxes, along with your accordion.

Keep up the good work, Bill. Marie Galvagna, Fran Ippolito, and Laura Mangano gladly give their ever¬ lasting hike up Mass. Avenue to anyone that thinks he can do it.

To the juniors goes our sorrow that they can never quite reach the high stand¬ ards of our class. Also that they don’t have the ingenious methods of finding mischief, that we did. Bennie Vose leaves those pretty flowing tresses along with her “new-look skirt” to Connie Calabrese. Nancy Connell leaves her deceivingly quiet ways to Pat Cole, and to Marie DeSimone goes some of her bright sense of humor. Now you girls can amble into everyone’s heart as Nancy did.

Barb Cooney, our own cheerful personality kid, wills to Helen Hogan and Margaret Petell that contagious little snicker that brightens up many a dull day. To Robert DeAdder and Charlotte Hutton goes an artistic hand from Paul Adler. Charlie Auer leaves his “getting along” technique with a certain physics teacher to Earl Simon. Here’s hoping you like physics, Simon. To Margie Schofield, Muriel Schofield grants the numerous mix-ups and con¬ fusions resulting from “M. Schofield report to the office.” Since Margie already has blond hair, Muriel keeps her own. Bernie Gosselin reluctantly passes on to Norma Legare her weekly excur- 24

Jessie Gucciardi leaves her truck to any girl that has the strength to push it up Mass. Avenue with no gas in it. But she doesn’t leave her driver’s license to anyone. Since she tried to teach many of us how to drive, she has learned we need the experience. Pete White bestows upon Fred Soucy the honor of being class president for four years, his popularity, and the thousand and one other accomplishments he has achieved, one of them being how to be handsome, popular and yet keep the girls an arm’s distance away.
