CLASS We, the graduating class of 1951, being of sound mind (?) and body do hereby bequeath to the undersigned the following: To Mr. Hayes and our teachers we leave our thanks and gratitude for their untiring efforts to get us through in four years. To the Freshman and Sophomores we leave our understanding and sympathy. Upon Walt Crabtree, Mike Scheipers bestows the honor of bringing up the rear in laps around the football field. Peg Willett leaves her ladylike manners to Peg Greenfield. Tony Galvagna leaves his seven honors to anyone who is willing to work as hard as he did to get them. Joyce Gillespie wills to Elbe Green one well-thumbed D. A. notebook. You ought to get nothing but A’s, Ellie. Addy Marrs — after some coaxing — leaves her friendly ways to Betty Duncan. J. H. boys, beware! Barb Deighan leaves her fine acting ability to Dotty Love. See you on Broadway, Dotty. Boger Camf leaves his tall tales to Forry Smith and Don Thomson. From what I hear these boys do all right in telling tall tales now. Claire Chamberlin is the happy recipient of Chari Adler’s cute smile. Buth Morin wills to Carry Dushame all the fun she had at Johnson. P.S.—This includes Boom 8, Carry! To Bob Thomson goes Paul Taylor’s fine acting ability. Dale Doherty leaves his graduation diploma to his brother Bob. Take good care of it Bob; it took him a good many years to get it. Helen Mandry leaves her fine taste and appreciation for work well done to Mary Hamel and Amy Wilton. June Stead leaves to Jane Morse her very feminine hands. Treat them nicely, Janie; they’re an asset. Alan Bodger leaves to Herby Wood and Don DeAdder his good-natured ways. Nancy Hamilton leaves to Joyce Hamilton all the love that sisters have for each other. The exact amount goes unrecorded since it depends upon the situation. Ellen Driscoll wills to Betty Corcoran memories of the 1950 football season, better known as the swap. Tommy Spedding leaves his favorite subject, girls, to Joe Cushing and Dave Janus. I hope you two aren’t as bashful as Tom. Jean Calder leaves her ability to get along with the male members of the faculty to Mary Long. To Diana Reach, Camy Cristaldi leaves her creamy complexion. George Dolan leaves his argumentative ways and terrific temper to the Junior Class. Divide it evenly; there’s enough for everybody. Noreen Curley and Alsine Klufts leave Virginia Verda and Cynthia Cousins all the fun they had in chorus. If you girls have half as much, I’m sure you’ll enjoy your¬ selves. Gerry Dubois leaves to Maureen Hogan her soft, but contagious laughter. The Banks twins (Dick and Bob), leave their attitude of brotherly love to the Sjostrom twins (Bruce and Eric). At least the Banks don’t throw baseball bats at each other. Betty Weingart wills a few inches of her height to Eunice Wilcox. Now, let those guards try to stop your shots. Chari Mattheson leaves her position as Jottings editor to “Dutchie” Ferrigno. This is apt, since “Dutchie” usually got the news before Chari! Bob Dill bestows upon Dick Brown and Johnny Belyea his quiet ways. To I rene Holdsworth, Flo Maude leaves her red hair. Pauline Boeglin leaves Madelyn McCoy all the fun she had at Plum Island. Bobbie is qualified to write a book on her own experiences there.

HISTORY the girls preferred the more conservative. After receiving them, every one was satisfied. The opening of school brought a new face to the faculty. Mr. Thomson took Miss Callanan’s place. This was the first year that the “Patch Test” was given; everyone willingly co-operated. The test proved very worthwhile—no one was found to have TB. It was just before midyear when Mr. Hayes called an assembly and in¬ formed us that because of the high scholastic standing of the school, we had become eligible for membership in the National Honor Society. At the next assembly, members were installed and the Society’s objectives were set forth. Miss I. E. Cook was ap¬ pointed as advisor. We had a great many interesting and full assemblies during the year. Among them was a talk by Chief Needahbaheh on Indian customs and head-dress. Pie also gave a very sk lied exhibition of casting, both fly and bait. Another interesting assembly was General Motors’ “Previews of Progress”, given by Mr. Robert Hastings and Mr. Richard Hanson. The entire student body was amazed at the intricate and varied feats of modern science that were displayed before our eyes, such as the making of synthetic rubber, broadcasting on a beam of light, frying eggs on a cold stove and breaking a glass by high-frequency sound waves. The dismissal bell went unnoticed as the men con¬ tinued their exhibition. Air. F. Bastian, of the Glennie Milk Co., gave a talk on the processing and bottling of milk. He also made it possible for us to make a tour of the new plant. Now it’s a pleasure to drink milk! Barbara Watts was chosen Junior Class Marshal as graduation time for the class of ’50 was nearing. As quickly as one can imagine, our junior year drew to a close and we adjourned until next September. Now, as seniors, we cast a reviewing eye on the fleet years that have gone be¬ fore us and wonder how three years could have passed so quickly. But then we turn in anticipation and look to a year which is destined to be full of events which will be remem¬ bered for a long time. Paul Driscoll was re-elected president; Bob Stewart became vice- president and Joan Nery returned a;s secretary-treasurer. During the year, a menagerie of animals appeared at J.H.S. A skunk fell into a pit on the side of the building—confusion reigned. With the aid of a wooden plank the skunk was released from captivity. It was hardly a week after that another animal made its way into the building. This time the animal, a bat, interrupted an S.S.S. class in the hall. It was quite a while before the nocturnal creature departed. Thomas Spedding proved to be the hero of the day, as he captured the fluttering creature in a wastepaper basket. In the race for our school representative for Good Government Day, which was to be held in Boston, Bob Stewart was elected as our candidate. A visit which will long be remembered by some was the trip taken by a group of S.S.S. st udents to the Ford plant in Somerville. As June approaches, the old flame, school, which we took so much for granted as underclassmen, appears more stately and grand with every second that ticks by. The prom, the class picnic and those last flurried days of school will be remembered with much feeling. And now we think back four years—when we were freshmen, when Air. Hayes stood before us and told us that in only a short time he would again stand before us—at graduation—now. In passing we remain, Joan and Freddy

Martha Seymour leaves her friendly personality to Gioia Giribaldi. Hope you make as many friends with it as Martha did. Jack Pearl leaves his gentleman-like manners to Dan Forgetta. Margie Terret, a girl of few words, leaves to Pat Smith her well-observed rule “Silence is Golden.” Pat still feels rules were made to be broken.

Barb Watts leaves Marion Bamford her “Class Beauty” title. Jane Broderick wills her nonchalant attitude to Joanne McAloon and Chris Kane. Believe me, girls, there is enough for both of you.

Margie Kleiner leaves special instructions on how to treat a camp counselor to Mary Walsh. Think you need them, Mary? Jack Zuill, star southpaw, leaves his talented pitching arm to another southpaw, Jim McMurray. Mary Boyle gladly cuts off and wills half of her walk to school to Evie Stone. Better plan to get up a little earlier now, Evie. Paul Driscoll leaves his skill of leading a football team to victory to George Knightly and Jack Shottes. Ann Hickey wills her unfailing devotion to homework to Dot Detora. Claire Connelly and Shirl Foster leave two well-worn typewriters to Laura Licciardello and Lorraine Sabin. I think there is enough for both of you girls. Eddy Saul leaves his knowledge of Geometry to Bob Lundquist. You should have left him your book too, Eddie. Tisha Maynard wills the mischievous twinkle in her left eye to Barb Saul. Oh boy! What a knock out! Gerry Gravel bestows a few inches of his height to Nick Cardwell and Bill Enaire. Think you could use it, boys? Lorraine Kelgin wills to Fay Belanger all the laughs she had in S. S. S. 4-1. Does the mark go with it, Loraine? Fred Marland leaves his knowledge of all sports, plus his ability to help Mr. Lee coach, to Doug Alexander. Dick Harvey leaves his Packard to Dana Freeman. Marilyn Zemba is tickled at the thought of receiving a few of the many letters Kay Bose wrote. I hope Kay will part with them. Walter Lumb leaves his many words and opinions in class discussions to Jimmy Mac- Cannell. George Schofield is the lucky recipient of Bob Snell’s good looks. Mary Gucciardi leaves her well-guarded formula on how to please teachers to Jane Doran and Joan Stoessel. Think you girls can use it? So we lower the lid of the casket and bury the class of ’51. Now nothing remains except— Evie and Bob
