' ■SL4 Class Will We, the Class of 1943, being of sound mind and body, after three and one-half years at this noble institution, do hereby publish and declare this our last will and testament. FIRST: To our esteemed Faculty we bequeath a well-earned vacation after their hours of torture endured for our sakes. SECOND; To the Junior Class we leave that en iable reputation which we have acquired because of the high intelligence of the members of the Senior Class. THIRD: To the studious Sophomores we bequeath all our perfect alibis and excuses in the hope that they will work as effectively for them as they have for us. FOURTH: To the Freshmen we bequeath our technique of cutting classes — may they have just as much success as we have had. We also make the following bequests with our sincere hope that they will be accepted in the spirit with which they are given: To Miss Brown we leave the Juniors — who now swing into authority as the Seniors leave — with the sincere hope that she will find in them the rare accumulation of knowledge she found in us. To Mr. Johnson we leave Russia, plus our wish that his collection of those mellow and rare stories grow bigger and better with each succeeding year — if that is possible. To Mr. Southworth we leave a huge supply of yellow paper in the hope that he has many successful years at Panzer with his daily quiz. They do not call us the quiz kids for nothing 1 To Miss Wardell we leave a piggy bank in the hope that her penny fines bring richer returns with each succeeding year. To Mr. Gorton we leave this wish that in his remaining years at Panzer he may never have a class so fond of talking as was ours. To Muriel Fecher we bestow Dorothy Klockner ' s height. Jay Dakelman bestows his place in the limelight to Joe Cloidt. Vivian Scher leaves her hockey ability with Connie Wasserman. To Leo Pearl, Butch Kohrherr leaves his head of hair. And finally, we, the members of the Senior Class leave Panzer College. With us we take friendships and memories which we will always cherish. The foregoing is the legal will and testament of the Class of 1943. In witness whereof, we hereby subscribe our name and seal .on this thirtieth day of January, in the year of our Lord, One Thousand Nine Hundred and Forty-Three. JANE STORMINGER, Executrix of the Will. Paye Tiventy-six

The seniors have made great im- provements in the three and one-half years that are now behind them. When John Underwood was president, Fran Bull vice-president, Rita Or- lando secretar} ' , and Jerry Elfenbein treasurer, the class gave their ' ery spe- cial sophomores a dance, and have since been complimented on its organiza- tion. Such affairs as teas and class picnics occupied the time that intervened before the class went to the National American Red Cross Aquatic School at Narrowsburg, New York. In spite of tlie Russian temperature many earned certificates in w ater safet) ' and first aid and made friendships through the class and social activities. The following year Joseph Heffernan was elected president; Sophie Ya- remus, vice-president; Dorothy Klockner, secretary, and Vincent Cantelmo, treasurer. Then, as sophomores, they sponsored a Lil Abner Hop for their freshmen friends. The conference in connection with Community Sei ' ice work was one of the events through which they contributed to the professional field. At the end of this year some of the class again went to Aquatic School while the others went on a camping trip with Mr. Gorton. Camping sites were at such picturesque places as Beaverkill. Phoenicia and Thatcher Park in New York State. The high light of the trip was tlie seven mile climb up Slide Mountain. As full-fledged juniors the class convened under the able leadership of Page Twenty-eight
