THE CLASS OF 1954 MAKES THIS THEIH WILL We, the Peterborough High School senior class of 1951, still being infants in the eyes of the law, with sound minds and memories, hereby in the presence of our last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills, bequests, and devices made by us. To the Junior class we leave our place at the top of the ladder of success, which we have attained by our ability to dodge hard work, to compose plausible alibis, and by our endeavor to speak the truth at all times. To the Sophomores we leave our heartfelt sympathy in the loss of us, their big brothers and sisters, and hope that future classes will know them better than we did. To the Freshmen we leave our understanding of teachers in hopes that they will use the back seats of study hall at their discretion. We, the Senior Class, also leave our rabbits' feet, horse shoes, and four leaf clovers, to the incoming freshmen with hopes that their four year in PHS will be as interesting as ours have been. To MR. FAUNCE, who has guided us through our four years of growing- pains and aberations, we extend our heartfelt thanks. To MISS HANCOCK we give a carload of orchids for her work which has made our Senior year so successful. To MR. BARNARD we bequeath a large leather briefcase to carry all his papers, pens. | encils, erasers, essays, homework, and credentials. To SALLY we apologetically offer back the ten pounds she lost trying to locate class members who were never where they were supposed to l e. To MRS. FAUNCE, and our own mothers, we leave all the sympathy in the world and a softly whispered, We understand . To MISS ARMSTRONG we leave three blocks of stationery on which she can write us truthfully, Is Paris like that? To MR. SNOW we give twenty field goals to be dispersed at his discrimina- tion in the 1955 basketball tournament. To MRS. CRAIG we give a huge filing cabinet since the successes of the class of '54 will easily require this much space in her follow-up studies. To MRS. MANNING we give this box of gum so that she may have as much fun as her type students. To MR. TRUFANT we leave an extra period so that he may eat his lunch in comfort and supply himself with pep, vim, and vigor for the remainder of the day. To MR. BLACKINGTON we leave a book entitled Latest Jokes and When to Use Them . To MISS FRAZIER we leave an aquarium abounding with aquatic apparitions and amicable amphibians so that her activities in Biology will not be limited to disecting grasshoppers and explaining the structure of Gertie”. To MISS LEE we leave a homeroom composed of students who will know the real meaning of the 8:20 bell. To'MR. COWGILL we bequeath a Toni refill with the hope that he will keep his curly hair looking its best for his future music classes. To MR. MANNING we leave a Hula girl in shop to make his classes more colorful and to remind him of the times in the Navy. WILLIAM ANDREWS leaves his loquacious and argumentative manner to ROGER BLACK. We know you will be well remembered. Bill. PAULINE MAC NUTT leaves her ability to get along with the English teacher to MARGARET EGAN. Have fun. ANTHONY BROWN gives his book which he has prized so highly, entitled, “How To Be A Lady’s Man to ARNOLD MYHAVER. JOAN PHELPS and PEARL RABIDEAU leave to VERNA VARVILLE and MARJORIE BARRY their skill in giggling and making noise at the slightest provocation. RITA CABANA leaves her own basketball ability to her sister, THERESA. Now she’ll really drive her guards crazy. JOAN BELMORE hereby bequeaths her symbol of Lady Luck to SHIRLEY HAYES, hoping she will have it with her behind the wheel at all times. ROBERT BROWN reluctantly leaves his secret formula” to BERNIE CUTTER. 20
