THE ORANGE PEALS, JUNE, NINETEEN THIRTY-TWO Ramona Ford will become dean of a girls' finishing school in New Jersey. Luella Emery will be engaged by a type- writing company to give annual exhibitions in typewritingf' At this point the stranger broke off and said, Today Decides Tomorrow. For that reason, your classmates need not worry over the future. Immediately my suspicion and curiosity were more keenly aroused. I asked him where he obtained his more or less accurate knowl- edge but he did not answer. Picking up his fallen sceptre and still with that some- what lingering pathetic smile he fixed his gaze upon the horizon and set off without any explantion. I stood looking after his retreating figure when I heard a great deal of hilarity. I turned around and found the members of the expedition back, back with the hieroglyphic writing and all. Was it intuition or modesty that prompted the sudden retreat of my most amazing friend? Neillfie Brock, '32 Class Will We, the Class of 1932, of Orange High School, City of Orange, County of Franklin, and State of Massachusetts--said by its residents to be the best state of all-having arrived at the end of our high school career, being in fairly good health, of sound mind and memory, as well as being physically normal, but having outgrown our last year's straw hats, and mindful of the dan- gers of the big world before us, do hereby make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament. First, our graduation charges we will to be paid with all other debts by our executors. Second, as to our estate, real and personal which we are possessed of, we give TEN and bequeath in the following manner: To Alvaretta Hunt, we bequeath these scales. You have said you haven't been weighed for ages, Alvaretta, but there is no excuse for saying that now. To Alice Holt, we bequeath this book of poems. As you have real talent in this line you will be interested in them. To Robert Dahl, we bequeath these water wave combs. We have noticed, Bob, you have a wave every girl envies. To Priscilla Clafiin, we bequeath this horn. We know you are bashful but when you are way out in Oberlin you'll have to blow your own horn. To Nellie Perekslis We bequeath this boat. As long as you like boating, Nellie, you should like this. To Luella Emery, we bequeath this shorthand notebook. Because of your proficiency in office work, Luella, this should come in handy. To Walter Farley, we bequeath a thermometer. How's the weather up there, Dick? To Elizabeth Gibbs, we bequeath this Austin. We think maybe it will fit you better than the large Nash you do drive.

It's the nearest we can get you to Florida, Priscilla. To Harry Nelson, we bequeath this cornet. When Old Faithful is worn out by your diligent playing here is a new one already to break in.

THE ORANGE PEALS, JUNE, NINETEEN THIRTY-TWO ' Dick Farley will become an electrician at the Paramount Studios in Hollywood. That will enable Dick to get a full view of stars by using the spotlight. Priscilla Richards will enter the nurs- ing profession. Virginia Harris will own a chain of tea rooms and will be known as a perfect hostess. Dorothy Jangro will realize the full value of music by making yearly trips to Austria with her two wards, to acquaint them with great violinist instructors in Europe. Paulina Bunumas will pursue the career of fortune teller. Apparently Paulina was quite capable of giving you a line. Laurice Humphrey's research work in other countries will prompt her to settle down at Elizabeth Gibbs' florist shop where she will finally succeed in perfecting the passion flower. Robert Dahl will become a great figure on wall street as a financier and in- cidentally Robert will still be a batchelor. Harry Harrington will become man- ager of the Chicago Cubs, and through Harry's efficient efforts the Cubs will win the world series for five years in succession. Elinor Stone will be teaching history in Columbia University during the summer session. Evidently Elinor's knowledge of history will far surpass the instructors. Earle Floyd will go to Brazil as repre- senttative of Edison's rubber plantations. There he will undergo a series of successful experiments. Helen Kiley will teach school for the deaf and dumb pupils. Helen it seems never cared much for talking. Barbara Pearce, after attempting all possible professions, has decided that mat-riniony is the safest bet for a career. Cecile Lariviere will become a hostess in an airliner making frequent trips across the Atlantic. This will give Sis an opportunity to visit her home country. Dorothy Kilhart will become a hair dresser and manicurist. Susan Nims will be an outstanding figure in the Olympic Track meet of 1944. Harry Nelson will be the greatest newspaper reporter the New York Tribune ever had. Harry's specialty will be the breaking up of gangland. Francis Lavley will show that Act- ions speak louder than words, by becom- ing a champion boxer. Anna Parker will become a nurse and will embark for China to aid the refugees of the international settlement. Marjorie Shaw will become famous in the literary field. Marjorie always seemed to prefer to write than to talk. Cecelia Washburn will become a doctor of philosophy which is quite a ways from her ambition to become a nurse. Grace Spear will be happily married and will spend most of her time in leisure, basking in the Florida sun. Priscilla Claflin will own and operate her own exclusive ladies dress shop. Olive Smith will join the circus as a tight rope walker. Incidentally, Olive is a big advertisement as well as a big drawing card for the company. Clarence Pierce will become an archi- tect and will be employed in New York. At this time he will be working on a draft for the new Orange High School. It looks as though Orange will become prosperous. At the annual 4 H club meeting at Chicago, Ruth Cromwell will be crowned the healthiest girl in the United States. Ruth Peterson will become a dancer by profession and will teach interpretive as well as ballroom dancing. Nellie Perekslis will become a domestic science teacher, believing in the slogan that, The quickest way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Grace Jefferies will still be going to school. What Grace is going to do with her knowledge I cannot tell you. NINE 'ml
