Z Le — NORTHERN LIGHT — 1949 CLASS WILL Sylvia Blanchard Robert Clark W E, the Class of 1949, as members of North Attleboro High School, in the town of North Attleboro, County of Bristol, State of Massachusetts, do make, pub- lish, and declare this as and for our last will and testament - that is to say: We give, devise, and bequeath, to the Class of 1950 the privilege of paying our debts, if any there be. To the Class of 1951, we leave the torch to carry on the fight to have outsiders at their school dances. To the Class of 1952, we bequeath 95 magnifying glasses, so that they may find the new Freshman class more easily than we found them. Personal bequeaths are as follows: GERARD ACHIN bequeaths his popularity to Peter Dean. BEV WHITE leaves her title of “Most Popular Girl” to Pat Welch. ELAINE CORRIGAN leaves her title of “Best All Around Girl” to Pam Straker. BOB L. ROCQUE leaves his title of “Best All Around Boy” to Allan Spencer. GWEN HILLMAN leaves her title of “Smoothest Girl” to Nancy Garland. WINI STRONG bequeaths her strength to her sister, Helen. “Live ' Wire” D. J. POIRIER leaves his title of “Liveliest Boy” to Allan England. ABBIE GIBEAULT leaves her title of “Most Athletic Girl” to Dora Messier. ELSIE GOLDEN leaves for the unknown in her smoke-filled Huddy. MARTIN RYAN bequeaths his seriousness to Howard Mason. ELEANOR CASH, JOAN DALY, and DIANE GIBA.RD leave together, headed for the Sturdy Hospital, but to work, not as patients. ALVIN BATES leaves in his handsome convertible. LAURA BAKER bequeaths her title of “Cutest Girl” to Mary Macentier. HERBIE JOHNSON leaves for Goldbug ' s to look for a new’ car ' or maybe we’d just better say a car. BEN ANDREWS leaves his title of “Most Bashful Boy” to Beryl Knowles. JANET WEYGAND leaves her title of “Most Congenial Girl” to Betty Andrews. BOB OULETTE leaves his ability to dodge work to Joe Levis. 26 O O

OLe — NORTHERN LIGHT — 1949 O f O O O O O O O O O f O O O O O O O O f On the eve of April 16, 1949, we held our Senior Prom in the High School Gym. The gym was decorated very exclusively for this festive affair. Everyone who attended enjoyed themselves immensely. On the Red Cap Staff this year we had Robert Clark, Betty Fisler, Paul Chace, Sylvia Blanchard, Janet Weygand, Raymond Bishop, William McNeil, Lorraine Wright, Norma Janes, Eileen Maloney, Noel Tremblay, Barbara Walsh, Beverly White, Elsie Golden, Jean Eccles, Barbara Johnson, Shirley Donaldson, Jackie Crowell, Marilyn Robertson, Elaine Corrigan, and Charles Larsen. In the orchestra, there are quite a few graduating members. They include Joan Labrie, Joan Bannon, Viola Gananian, Willard Crossley, Casper Darling and Jackie Crowell. In the band this year there was Casper Darling and Vuillard Crossley. Now that you have heard all the historical events of the past four years, we, the class of “1949”, leave, much to the sorrow of Mr. Mott, (A.J.) to us, and the faculty of N. A. H. S. Perhaps we won ' t be remembered as the most brilliant class to enter North High, but it can never be said that we lacked originality. So in closing this Class History, Micky and I would like to say in our own original manner, “thanks” to everyone, from everyone in this graduating class. We really hate to leave. o o o 25
