THE PURPLE AND GOLD CLASS WILL i The class of Nineteen Hundred and Forty-One being of supposedly sound Illlllfi. and possessing an unusual amount of stalwart intelligence, brazen enfrontery and consumate conceit, hereby declares this to be its last will and testament. VVith the realization that no underclassman could hope to cope with the intricacies of high school life without the aid of the departing Seniors, the following members of this most unusual class bequeath their outstanding virtues and vices, if any, to those schoolmates who have the ambition to be as great as we, this Class of Nineteen Hundred Forty-One, believe we are. VVe, Pauline llellemeur and Jennie Ramsey, do will and bequeath our positions as the senior class ladies and Mr. Anderson's confidential secretaries to Marion Rouleau and Noreen Willis. Regard these positions with esteem and beware of competition. I, Florence Adjutant, do will my plump walking encyclopedia to Lena. Ander- son. Too frequent use has worn it pretty thin, though. I, Emily Casey. do will 1ny daily three mile Walk to and from school for the past four years to the Susmann trio. It preserves your school girl figures if it does wear out your soles. I, Alphonse Soucy, do will my Sweet Pea perfume to Fred Carswell. VVe plumpsters ought to help one another to allure the ladies. I, .Iane Plummer, do will my numerous boyfriends to Florence and Iilsie Bige- low. It must be rather lonesome way over on Nute Ridge, so here will be a lot of company for you. Vile, Irene VVhitehouse, Constance Perkins, and Louise Rouleau. do will and bequeath our popularity with teachers, especially Miss Goodwin, to Pauline Dupuis and Mary Drew. VVe hope you will assume our habit of being companions to the teachers after school, so after we are gone, they won't be lonesome. Please be quiet, children. I, Patricia LVitham, do will and bequeath my shy, wee voice to Pauline Dudley. It may save you scoldings from the teacher in study period, Pauline. I, Maurice Fletcher, do will my ability to keep quiet to Roland Pike. You can win Miss Goodwin's heart by doing this, Sethy. I, 'Iohn VVilson. do will my dancing ability to Freddy Comfort. You'll be able to jitterbug up and down the aisle. I, Charles Hosser, do will mv technique of keeping my hair slicked down to Donald Wariiecke so he may catch the teacher's eye at all times, especially if he takes Sociology. I, Olida Soucy, do will my ability to carry on an endless argument to Ruth Burroughs. Ilut remember: 'Beware of entrance to a quarrel, but, being in Bear it that the opposed may beware of thee. I, Philip Brown, do will and bequeath to Donald VVarnecke my Fordy so that he will have a chance to take Marion back and forth to school. I, Harold VanYliet, do will my ability to arrive at least three minutes late to Marion Rouleau and Noreen VVillie. Not that you need it. I, Phyllis Madden, do will and bequeath my position as chief Ilible reader to Florence Bigelow. Perhaps you can aspire to be a minister's wife, too. llll

I will be here in spirit if not in body. I, Constance Perkins, do will my eyebrow pencil and lipstick to Janet Williams. May they work on George as well as they have on Phil. I, Olida Soucy, do will to Marie Casey the few remaining drops of my ink which her sister Emily did not borrow. I, Louise Rouleau, do will and bequeath 1ny ability to make faces and get into trouble to my sister Margie, to keep the family name on the detention list. I, Florence Adjutant, do will and bequeath my frequent absences on days tests are assigned to Florence Bigelow. These absent days can be spent in preparing for the tests. I, Patricia Witham, do will and bequeath my ladylike nature and good behavior to Pearl Thurlow, which undoubtedly the teachers would appreciate very much. I, Jennie Ramsey, do will and bequeath my smile and dimples to Anne Sus- mann. You could apply both to good advantage, Anne. ' I, Pauline Bellemeur, do will and bequeath my permanent position by the radia- tor in the dressing room to Mary Labrie. It is much more inconspicuous than before the mirror. I, Emily Casey, do will and bequeath my high marks and intelligence to next year's .Iunior class so that the length of the honor roll will increase. Don't push. there's enough to go around. . I, Jane Plummer, do will and bequeath my curly hair to Pearl Thurlow that she might not have to worry about straight hair when it rains. I, Alphonse Soucy, do will and bequeath to Arline Willey my ability to be good-natured at all times. This will help in basketball, Arline. I, Charles Hosser, do will and bequeath my mustache to Roger Pike, who should gain more attention with this added attraction. I, Norma Willey, do will and bequeath my ability to complain to Betty Sus- mann so that these complaints will not be missed by the teachers. I, Nancy Ferguson, do will my impish grin to joseph Yachon. XVith your eyes, this will make a combination that is hard to beat, joe. I, IIarold Yankliet, do will and bequeath my position in the Reading Class to VVilliam VVilson. Perhaps, Billy, you will be an honor member, too. I, Irene W'hitehouse, do will and bequeath to Margie Rouleau my ability to play basketball. May you have as good luck as I did. I, Philip Brown, do will and bequeath my faithfulness to one girl to Freddie Comfort. It doesn't pay to be a Romeo.

VVe, the Senior Class, do will the desks in Miss Goodwin's room, the hard seats in the laboratory, the mutilated textbooks, the sophisticated airs, and the slightly used wads of chewing gum, to the incoming Senior Class. Signed and sealed on this first day of May, nineteen hundred and forty-one, by their excellencies, the graduating class of nineteen hundred and forty-one. I12l
