WILL Bob Cole is set to knock ’em over with the winning smile left him by Jay Stewart. Barb Flockerzi leaves her quiet ways to Mary Valcourt and Flo Towne. Joan Nery leaves to Margie Blodgett her tortoise-shell rimmed glasses. Also a book entitled “How to Appear Sophisticated in Specs.” Dick Hanson, to his buddy Jack Sheehy, wills his love for school and his good record of attendance. Ed Finn receives Norm Heaton’s ability to get along with the teachers. Doris Jones wills to Mildred Flanagan her love for dancing. See you at the Commodore, Millie. 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. Noranne Maho. ey wills to Joan Kilton her athletic ability. They won’t be able to beat the Community Center now! Bay Gile endows Milton Long and Joe McLaughlin with his hurried manner. 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. Ann Gioco wills to Arlene George all her beautiful clothes. Arlene has to build a third closet now. Albin Seyfferth leaves his nice clothes and neat appearance to Jack Haigh. 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

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.

CLASS Imagine our delight, one warm June evening in 1965, when George Dolan, M. C. for the Tele and Tell giveaway show, called and asked us the big question. Before we knew what was happening, we had won a round-the-world cruise! We lost no time in boarding a plane for New York, the starting point of our journey. On the way, we couldn’t resist stopping at North Andover, our old home town. As we landed at the North Andover airport, we spied Bob Banks, the ad¬ ministrator leaving his office. While Bob was showing us around the airport, we were joined by Camy Cristaldi, his private secretary. They brought us to the office of Dick Harvey, world-famous meteorologist, who was about to give his nightly weather forecast on T. V. Dick told us that if we wanted to get to Main Street, we’d have to take one of Taylor and Rodger’s aerial taxis. We dually located one, and found to our astonishment that it was being piloted by Ruth Morin and Claire Connelly. The girls flew us to Gravel Manor, a very high-class hotel, operated by G. G. Gravel. Gerry told Richie Hanson, captain of the bell boys, to see that we were well taken care of. No sooner were we settled, when Gerry Dubois, the switchboard operator, called to tell us that Mr. Gravel was waiting to take us to the new Alvah G. Hayes High School, to see the senior graduation. On the way to the school, Gerald explained that Tony Galvagna was prin¬ cipal, and ruled the pupils with an iron hand. Mary Boyle was teaching English, and Jay Stewart was running the French department. We slipped into the spacious auditorium just in time to see Jack Pearl, mayor of the now busy city of Boxford, present the diplomas. Everyone cheered loudly when school committeeman Dale Doherty rose to present awards to the outstanding athletes. Mr. Doherty introduced Joan Nery, guest speaker from M.I.T., who addressed a few well-chosen words to the graduates. Next day, although we hated to leave North Andover, we realized that we had to be getting on to New York. To our despair, we found that all planes had been grounded because of high winds. Fortunately, as we were standing in front of the hotel, pondering over our dilemma, Eddie Saul came along in a shining green truck. By a lucky coincidence we found that he was going to New York to deliver an order of sun¬ glasses from Pauline Boeglin’s sunglass factory. On the way, Eddie told us that he planned to visit Radio City since Dawn Tompkins and Charlotte Mattheson were danc¬ ing with the Rockettes. We were all hungry, so we stopped at an eating place, “Addie’s Inn,” run by Addie Marrs. Margie Kleiner, the receptionist, showed us to a table, and Dolly Cousins came to take our orders. When Eddie finally left us in New York City, we hailed a cab and found none other than Noranne Mahoney behind the wheel. Noranne became so excited at seeing us again that she unconsciously started speeding. Immediately a mounted police¬ man galloped after us. Luckily it was Ray Gile, and when he learned the cause of Noranne’s speed, lie let us go on. While in New York, we attended a performance of the ballet, starring Alsine KI lifts. We also went to watch the T.V. show, ‘‘The Loves of Larry,” starring Barbara Flockerzi, Shirley Foster, Kay Lynch, and Betty Weingart, written by Florence Maude. Finally we went down to the harbor, and boarded the cruise boat. We were thrilled to find that our boat was captained by Dick Banks. He told us that Charlotte Adler, now a famous Powers Model, was on board. We hunted up Charlotte and spent the time talking over old times until the Steward, Walter Lumb, announced dinner. The dinner was delicious; it had a unique flavoring that could have come from either accident or skill. Suddenly we heard a familiar voice coming from the galley, and leaving the table quite rudely, we rushed there only to find our old friend, Fred Marland, mixing a chocolate cake. The voyage was uneventful, until one day when a sailor, whom we later recognized as Norman Heaton, spied a raft with five people on it. It turned out to be Tommy Spedding, Ellen Driscoll, Doris Jones, June Stead, and Joyce Gillespie. It
