joan Pierce is Mildred's lucky sister, for Mildred gladly gives her a few much needed credits toward graduation. Mildred also wishes the school to provide enough money with which to purchase easy chairs for the office as joan says that the present chairs sometimes become quite hard. Keep out of the oflice,joan! Forrest Hunky Saunders bequeaths to Donald Gauley his winning way with the girls, I wonder if Donald needs them! Do you? Or shall Forrest save it for his own future use? Mary Arushan wishes to leave her shorthand ability to Frankie Goodman, in hopes that he can become the whiz Mary has been. Mary says she will gladly give you private lessons, Frankie-private lessons in shorthand, we assume. joan Napolitan bequeaths her naivenessQ?j to Yvonne Griffiths. We feel certain that Yvonne will be able to make good use of it. Marylyn Honey Brennan wishes to leave her captivating smile and personality to Sally Reed, but she's not leaving Lenny to anyone!! Corinne Gould bestows her secretarial ability upon Barbarajones, but Barb, please put some control on that temper!! Dick Grifliths leaves his argumentative powers to john Osborne, who we expect will use it to create great amusement in his classes, especially English XII. Anne Merigold bestows her petiteness upon Rose Arushan. Ken Richardson grants the privilege of taking Mrs. Etelman home, to anyone who cares to hold this honorable position. Whoever this may be, we hope that he will have a vehicle that will not only run at all times, but that is properly ornate. Louise Federico awards her artistic ability to her brother joe, who we know will be more than grateful to receive it. Harold Smith leaves to Alfred Davis his ability to draw airplanes and cars during English classes and all the private privileges which go with it. Shirley Holt bestows her excellence in knitting upon Dora Swanson, but please Doris, don't let that yarn roll down that corridor during the busiest times of the day! We proudly present Mr. Gilford with a plot of land in the rear of the high school on which to start his farm and do hereby grant him the privilege of letting his cows graze upon whatever land that they may find suitable. To Mr. Pratt, our adviser, the Class of 1950 bequeaths an inexhaustable supply of chalk and rulers to aid him in teaching practical math. We never did understand how some of those problems should be solved. Last, but far from the least, we leave all the trials, tribulations, romances, committees, and much foresight for the future years to all underclassmen. May you have as much fun in your school life as we have had in ours at Pembroke High School!

just go to Laura's ifit's snow you want to see. lt's up in Vermont where we all can ski! Honey was a teacher, and a good one, too! But she married a sailor who's the envy of the crew! Our expert secretary, Corinne, married her boss. His gain turned out to be industry's loss! Our dashing bachelor, Smitty, who hasn't yet been caught Says he'd much rather design planes, and marry not! Mary, Mary, sunny and cheery, your family it did grow! Six little girls with blond hairwall in a row! You're searching for a restaurant where there's service with a smile? No need to look furtherfstop at Diane's for a while! And there's the future spread before me like a fruitful land reposed. But let's cling to the present and all the promises it holds. JOAN CLARKE, '50
