THE GOBBLER-1948 JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL to Mary Maude. Just be careful not to get caught rolling the candy on the floor. 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. Oh yeah! Margaret Twomey bequeaths some of that twinkle in her eyes and that sparkling smile to Ann Whipple. To Eunice Minzer, Jackie Lundgren gives her good-nature that has given us lots of laughs. George Clasby, the woman hater, (are we kidding!!!), leaves his Jimmy Stew¬ art characteristics to Don Farrow. Nancy Ballantyne wills to Martha Kane that pleasant and soothing calm attitude about everything in general. This even includes French! Phil Greenler gives his nonchalant attitude when it comes to anything re¬ quiring brain-work to Jimmy Green and Bob Longbottom. To Dave Kelley and John O’Melia go the many beauties of the outdoors along with Phil’s care of the cows. Dot Black and Mary Chamberlin, the famous duet, grant to Joan Finn, Nancy Mulvey and Jackie Adams their everlasting friendship with their quiet and charming qualities. To Finneran and Fleming, John MacCannell bequeaths his bright ties for all occasions. Claire Canty bestows upon Kay O’Keefe some of that constant good humor; Claire has an inexhaustible supply. To Irene Roberts she passes on her movie passes she received from the Sunday Sun, also the work that goes along with it, Joe Winning wills his fuzzy hair and way of fascinating females to John Shellnut. Claire Kelleher and Marion Curley bequeath to Mary Ranfone their success at exhibiting an innocent expression at all times. Mary Claire Hickey draws a few notes on her fiddle to soothe Grace Petell when her nerves are on edge and also gives up her place as third top honor student. Andy Alvino wills his spot at the smoking hole to Tommy Driscoll. We hope you’ll be as succesful in your dodging career as Andy was. To-Ruth Davis, Shirley Wilcox, the little girl with the big heart, bestows her endless supply of energy and her talented fingers on the ivory. Ginny Gaudet leaves to Kathleen Overend her beloved place in math, class. Also her ability to dash into Room 8 two minutes after the last bell has rung. Leon Wood endows Robert Finn and Arnold Sarcione with his flying fingers on the typewriter. 26

THE GOBBLER-1948 JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL sions to Crystal which come with her famed title, Best Girl Dancer. 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. Dick Jordan wills to Rollie Baker his success with his car. Now his only leaks oil, and Dick’s....??? Jack Kooistra willingly gives his rosy cheeks and maidenly way of blushing to Francis Rivet, Jack Lawlor, and any girl that has lost the art. Elaine Champion bequeaths her excellent leadership, as co-head cheer leader, as co-captain of basketball, and as most popular girl to Joan Connors. Grace Stewart gladly accepts Champ’s vivaciousness and lovable personality to add to her own sweet one. Ruth Turner and June Schmottlach will their successful study habits to Joan Legare. Rose Torrisi leaves her debating ability to Bill Smith. This is quite an art, Bill, as Rosie can still argue with you and remain friends all the while, which few people can do. Marie Broderick passes on to Helen Hilse her learnings and experiences on “Handling The Ship.” Anchors aweigh! Archie Cousins wills his deep voice to Arthur Forgetta. Did we hear Arthur comment, “I’m feeling mighty low!” A few inches of height and a little of that friendly grin go to Jimmy Tam- agnine, from Rich Gravel. Alva Eldridge leaves his good manners plus his numerous trips on his motor bike to Chuck Robinton and Charlie Roebuck. Bob Driscoll gives to Joe Driscoll his punctual habits, also his contribution of another Driscoll to add to the confusion of all the Driscolls. Ed Brown bestows upon Bill Ness his fancy end around. 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. They inform us not to waste any efforts on a new school bus for the Mass. Avenue gang, as they are all in vain. Upon Louise Finn and Joan Leighton, Jean Mahoney bestows those many animal growls and whistles that have followed her footsteps—wolves we mean. Chuck Nicosia leaves his many hot and heavy arguments with Miss Bascom to Jack Kasheta and Dick Ganley. Irene Auer wills her ability to run Friday morning candy parties, 4th period, 25

THE GOBBLER-1948 JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL The Senior Class leaves all its dilapidated books to Cornelis Heijn and Dick Hilton. Gus Weigel and Buddy Cyr reluctantly give up their successful leadership as co-captains to Don Farrow and Jimmy Kennedy. Joan Driscoll bequeaths her pretty Irish eyes to Vera Sullivan and her suc¬ cessful cure for insomnia to Jane Driscoll, this cure being only forty-five minutes in a D. A. class. Ethel Lambert bequeaths to Joan Diamont those big beautiful brown eyes. We hope Joan knows how to use them as Ethel did. Since Teddy Farrell won’t need his super-special ear for hearing the NO¬ SCHOOL signal on bright sunny Monday mornings, he leaves it to Dale Mac- Arthur and Gordon Marshall. Teddy tells Mac and Gordon he doesn’t want this work of art wasting away; it took him a long time to perfect it. Mary Shottes and Pat Currier leave their quiet and dignified careers in school to Sheila Cronin. Arthur Awley leaves his talents and moral support for the band to Rich Mooradkanian. Jack Dolan leaves his 10 EASY LESSONS on how to get along with women and still call them fat, to quiet Bill Connell and Gilly Lundquist. Heart Breaker Joe Guthrie leaves to Harold Bamford and Ronald Casale his way with the opposite sex and yet how to stay popular with his own. Bill Hanscom leaves his nerve to Ken Howard to stand behind the vicious bat. More power to you, Ken. Gloria MacCoy bequeaths her happy-go-lucky nature and rippling laughter to Dot Conte. Don Shackleton wills his pitching arm to Norman Humphries. Success on the mound to you, Norman old boy. Eleanor George, the advocate of what the well-dressed girl wears, leaves her knowledge to Joanne Legare. And, last but by no means least, Evie Mitchell bequeaths to Dot Dushame the days she just forgot she had gym, and to Judith Chadwick her everlasting love of horses. Now we make like the trees and leave, like the women and take a powder, and finally put an egg in our shoes and beat it before anyone catches us.
