CLASS In behalf of the Senror Class I wrsh to present these tokens of mutual alfectron to my Classmates of 42 Had any producers been rn town the nrght the play The Arrrv al of Krtty was grven we re sure that Tommy Bonettr would have been shrpped 05 to Holly wood rmmedrately We thrnk Tom should have some rhrng to urge hrm on to success as an actress and want hrm to have thrs lrpstrck as a token of our esteem Today men are yornrng the ranks to defend therr country These men must be physrcally fit rn every way and carry no excess werght Thats why we feel that garnrng werght by leaps and bounds should be stopped Wrth Irene Rrchs advrce rn mrnd we take great pleas ure rn presentrng thrs bottle of Welchs grape yurce to Charles Appleby Brll Bugbee has been seen puttrng lrttle grrlrsh waves rnto hrs brown locks lately but wrth lrttle success Knowrng the prrce of permanents the best we could do to lend hrm a helprng hand rs to present hrm wrth a bottle of wave set Genevreve Frrgeleskr has hrgh hopes of becomrng a secretary rn some brg busmess office Everyone knows the storres that go around about srttrng on the boss knee and we hope Genny wrll be more comfortable wrth thrs prllow Drck Lee rs sometrmes called the wrt of the class but we ve notrced that he s wrttrest rrght after a jack Benny program Now almost everyone knows what Bennys jokes are lrke and thats why Drck should get a better start rn lrfe wrth thrs brand new yoke book Our classmates have many ambrtrons rn therr mrnds one partrcular grrl wants to be a dress stylrst Thrs book of paper dolls wrll grve Vrrgrnra Havens some means of tryrng out her rdeas Because of the scarcrty of metal we thought thrs grft to John Sperrs baby of our 42 class, would be approprr ate and probably helpful to hrs mother We hope that Lrttle John doesnt have too much trouble wrth hrs three cornered pants but we present hrm wrth some safety prns-rust rn case Helen Bull can cook somethrng terrrlic Maybe she wont go rrght rnto housekeeprng but nevertheless she wrll certarnly frnd some use for thrs rollrng prn, erther as a weapon of aggressron or as a culrnary ard Jrmmre Noyes rs drstrngurshed from the rest of the class by hrs longness and hrs outlandrsh laugh We racked our brarns to frnd a solutron to calm hrm down and decrded the only thrng surtable rs a muffler Wrong Way Corrrgan landed up rn Ireland Srnce one of our classmates wants to become a prlot we wrsh to set her off on the rrght track We know Shrrley Larson wouldnt be another Corrrgan but we dont want to take any chances A compass Shrrley Sam Green has the Army Arr Corps rn mrnd after he graduates We hope he makes rt and would lrke very much to see hrm General Maybe thrs parr of wrngs wrll help hrm out Eleanor Maynard has probably the most dates rn our class The next mornrng Ell rs always late for school GIFTS What a catastrophe rf she were late when she has a yobl To rnsure her safety we would lrke Ellre to keep thrs alarm clock under her prllow when she comes home fro'n a date Vernon Wood better known as Chrck rs always hand rng out advrce It mrght concern love affarrs and then agarn rt mrght even be of a polrtrcal nature but, any way he has a pretty good lrne So that he wont run out of rdeas we made thrs Dorothy Drx Scrapbook to add to hrs old ones jean DeWolf s career as a polrcewoman ended before she even started She has now turned to the held of nursrng just so Jeanre wont forget her former lrfes ambrtron we would lrke her to take thrs gun George Krng always has somethrng new up hrs sleeve and so that he can keep thrngs popprn all through hrs lrfe a package of popcorn mrght be helpful Farmer Randy Brown we hear works very hard rn the summer Knowrng thrs we asked ourselves What can we do to make hrs yob easrer7 We finally decrded on thrs modern, up to date up to the mrnute tractor, whrch should be a brg help rn ra'isrng crops Because Douglas Bramble rs such a great baseball frend he recerved the nrckname Hub I thrnk Hub rs on the Grants team or rs rt the Dodgers-I really don t know but here s a score card that should keep all the baseball rnformatron strarght Jackre Barley has been known as the wolf of the class but lately he seems to have changed We all want hrm to keep up the good work through lrfe and therefore present hrm wrth thrs lamb-lest he forget When you see Edythe Grrffrth you hear about Water bury Lately Edre has been rn an awful Hx she cant get to Waterbury to see Emrl as much as she should and we feel sorry So to help a good cause along, we pre sent her wrth thrs parr of roller skates We sard before when you see Edre you hear about Waterbury and when you see Walt Mazer you almost always hear about the army If Walt roms up when he graduates we hope he wrll be promoted raprdly Wrth thrs bugle to help hrm get the rob of bugle boy, he wrll certarnly be the frrst to rrse Marrorre Peck gust loves square dances We ve often wondered how her feet felt after hours of hot fottrng and feel sure corn plasters would come rn handy to ease her barkrng dogs BARBARA MONROE Gift fo Grver My Dear Mrss Monroe As a token of our apprecratron for the rnnumerable trmes you have supplred us wrth
