THE BEACON 29 ways been interested in Commercifl work and had been busily employed in a large shipping concern when she fell a victim to the upheaval. Another name that I recognized was that oi Kathleen Alley. Kathleen had been coaching the National Champion Girls' Basketball Team when the catastrophe had occurred. The gymnasium walls had caved in and the coach had been severely injured. Leaving the office 1 walked through the ward. I glanced over toward one of the cots and thought that I saw a familiar face. 1 walked over to the cot and recognized Crystell Luce. Through her incoherent mutterings, during her delirium, 1 gathered that she had been injured while trying to conduct to safety the kindergarten children whom she had been teaching. By several strange coincidences our High School graduating class of 1934 had been reunited! At the end of two weeks, when my patients were con- valescing, We all gathered together in the sun porch and had a good talk about old times, and believe me we certainly lived our school days over again! NOTE: Many of the things which we discussed and reminisced over may be found in the Class History. CLASS WILL We, the class of 1934, of the Oak Bluiies High School, situated in the County of Dukes of the Common- wealth of Massachusetts, being well aware of the inevitable dismissal from the above said school, desire to part with all our unmortgaged personal property. lVe declare this precious document to be our last will and tes' tament. ClVe have never drawn up any otherj. 1. lVe will to Mr. Merrill, our es- teemed principal and class adviser, an underground tunnel to be built by the next physics class between the old building and the 11ew building-if we ever get one! 2. To Mr. Downs, an unabridged dictionary so that he may trace the derivation of words even more easily, 3. To Miss McDermott, name plates for students so that she may not for- get nor switch the names of the students. 4. To Miss Alley, several new bas- ketballs and baskets so that she may keep all the forwards busy practicing their shots simultaneously. 5. To Mr. Dorr, replaceable finger 11ails to use during and after games. These will save wear and tear on what now remains of his own. 6. To Miss Landers, an escalator, so that she may reach her office more easily. 7. To Mrs. Johnson, a set of the latest edition of music books, suitable for High School Students, so that she C2111 satisfy the High School pupils' desire for new songs. 8. To Guy Clements, a belt to put around the world so that he may pro- cure more power, and at the same time realize his pet hobby of perpetual mo- tion. 9. To Marguerite Clements, a book of Love Stories. This book will have blank pages to be filled in by her, with personal love experiences. 10. To James Golden, a carload of cough drops to be used after cheering. 11. To Margaret Gordon, a place in the third year typing class. 12. To Clarence Herrmann, Crystcll Luce's seat in the bus, it will make a special stop for him so that he will no longer need to be late and so that he may sleep until the last minute.
