last illamii e tmnmt. We, the Seniors of the High School of Norwell, County of Plymouth, and State of Massachusetts, being of almost legal age and sound mind and memory, do make, do publish, and do declare this our Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking and annulling any and all Will or.Wi1ls by us made heretofore: Item I: We direct that all our back dues and present graduating expenses be paid by future Senior treasuries as soon as possible after our graduation. Item II: To our beloved successors, the present Juniors, we do will and bequeath a hall monitor who will discreetly overlook various disturbances in the lavs. By our direction, this service will be rendered free of charge. Item III: To the terrible three, namely Jim Brown, Paul W. Robinson, and Billy Cobb, we do will and bequeath our special formilas written on the subject, nHow to date new girls, and still keep old girlfriends on the string.n This edition comes with a list of telephone numbers within a ten mile radius of Norwell. Item IV: To the girls of the Junior Class, we do will and bequeath a new succession of all male teachers, as the Senior girls believe that male teachers have a better effect on female students. Invested in this will is a provision that these men shall be handsome, and.good-natured. These bundles from Bridgewater will also be broad- minded during marking periods. Item V: To the Sophomore Class, next year's Juniors, we leave our well-worn rules and plans for antagonizing Seniors. Said rules follow thusly: A. Steal Seniors' books, pencils, and boyfriends. This probably is the worst crime you could commit against a Senior, as they hate being outdone by lowerclassmen. B. Cut in front of them in the lunch line. If said Seniors do not have you out of a third story window for such an offense, you will get a big kick out of watching their faces turning slowly from orange to deep purple. C. Criticize the way the boys wear their clothes, tell the girls that their haircuts are strictly for the birds. If you succeed in oeing completely obnoxious to them, they will never blackjack you into buying tickets for their various dances and entertainments. Item VI: To the Sophomores of '55, we do will and bequeath our talent for always sponsoring successful dances. This is a very valuable asset as you will find when you discover you won't have enough money to graduate. Item VII: All the rest and residue of our estate and property of any kind ani property whatsoever, we bequeath to the Freshmen. For no explainable reason, these scraps always seem to go to the Freshmen, and they contain these items. l. A manual entitled, HHow to say, 'No'.u This is,a great help when upperclassmen try to persuade you to run their errands. 2. We leave you our surplus confidence and self-reliance, you will now be able to face your first day as Freshmen without melting away in fright. 3. Last of all, we bequeath you Bryan Reed. We commit this act of generosity for no particular reason except that we don't want him. Anyway, bryan has a preference for Freshmen. Item VIII: To all members of the Faculty, we do bequeath renewed patience and determination with which to face the long, fruitless years ahead. We also leave you the guarantee that there will never be another class equal to ours in Norwell High School. Item IX: We nominate and appoint our beloved counselor, friend and advisor, Mrs. Vose, of Room 6, Executrix of this our Last Will and Testament, to serve without bond. In witness whereof we have hereunto set our hands to this our hast will and Testament, 'HK For the Class of l95h Norwell, Massachusetts g gg , this sefenth -- day of June , a.U. l95Qg r resides at .
