RAVELIN 'S a very efficient one because of his ability to Work quickly. The other letter read: I regret to say that I cannot be present at the reunion as I will be on my trip around the world. Sincerely, Sylvia Greene. The door bell rang and the usher entered with six elderly looking people. It was Mr. San- nella and his wife and Miss Burke and Miss CLASS Manning and their husbands who had come to enjoy the dancing. After hearing a few words from Mr. San- nella, dancing began. I must say I'd never heard a better orchestra in all my life and that is a compliment to its director, George Sibley. We all stayed at the hotel that night and the next day, We had another class reunion. I was sorry I had to leave so soon but a telegram from my commission agent informed me that he had sold my most recent book of poetry and asked me to return at once. WILL N this joyous day and in this great hall, we the class of 1933, take our stand to give our last will and testament before our fellow class- mates, teachers, and townspeople. VVhereas: We, the class of 1933 of Oxford High School, being of sound health and sane mind, do hereby proclaim this our last Will and testament, revoking all others made previous to this date. We are glad to state that 'our teachers have finally consented to our leaving dear old Ox- ford High School. CThey didn't give any rea.- sons, howeverj. And in parting with our be- loved possessions we first turn to our teachers. To Mr. Sannella: Another senior class as clever and well behaved as the Class 'of 1933, also, more patience and courage to help him carry on with the ever enlarging high school enrollment. To Mr. Richardson: The task of becoming an assistant principal to take Mr. Sannella's place when necessary. To Mr. Ambrose: The passed-down curling iron so he may keep his golden locks curled. To Mr, Chaffee: As good material for base- ball as he is losing through graduation. To Miss Manning: Some one as capable to drive her V8 as the Senior boys. To Miss Lupien: A car, a sum of money, and a friend so she may attend the World's Fair. CToo bad we all can 't be the friendj. To Miss Burke: A commercial club with as active members as the class of 1933. To Miss Griffiths: A larger home so she may have room for Latin Club parties. To Miss Kennedy: A job as proof-reader for Ravelin's. To Miss. Leonard: A book of songs that we like to hear over the radio. To Miss Colby: The best of luck in her fu- ture life Cmarried or otherwisei. To Miss Hofstra: A chance to have food sales real often. CY'ou know Miss Hofstra just likes to work at food salesl. Now that we have taken care of the faculty, we shall turn to the ever-enlarging Junior class. First of all, we want to thank the Juniors for the splendid Junior Prom they gave us. We also bequeath to the entire class the honor 'of following in our footsteps and may they be- come as successful or even more so than the class of '33. Individually, We will: To Irwin Pottle: Robert Helliwell's charac- teristic of being a good class president. To Julia Klok: The permanent position as bell ringer left by Eldora Javery. T0 Beatrice Davis: Sibley 's ability to argue -then she'll win all debates. To Irene Messier: The honor of following 'Dora Javery as basketball captain. To Noah Strack: The chance of becoming O. H. S. star athlete now that Harrington is leaving. To Earl Morey: Jolly's privilege of teasing the girls. To Gertrude Furness: Claire Perry 's ability to type without making errors. To Francis Gardner: Marcoux's ability to talk before a crowd or audience. l37l
