ROGER WOOD Roger is not always sure About the parts of speech, But life has its compensa- tions- Some subjects he could teach. EDNA WRIGHT In work or play We like her style, She is earnest All the while. Continued from page 4 Fin-ally our last year arrived. At first we were pleased with our exalted posi- tion, but we soon discovered that there was plenty of work attendant upon our new advantages. Unaccustomed as we were to assuming responsibilities, we were overwhelmed at times by the prob- lems confronting us. Our first endeavor was the Senior Dance held a few days before Christmas. Although the com- mittee worked long and earnestly, the d-ance was not well attended and conse- quently the profit was not great. The Christmas assembly program consisting of seve-rval living tableaux of Christmas carols prepared in two weeks, was our most successful stage production-since it Was our only one. Although, as a class, we did not dis- tinguish ourselves in athletics, several members have won praise. Among our football heroes were Arthur Ragazzini, Bradford Martin, and Andrew Basler. Atteo Ferazzi and Gerald Mayo were proficient in basketball, While Bradford Martin, our most outstanding player, won a trophy for his excellence in shoot- ing fouls. The only outstanding mark of effi- ciency demonstrated in our Junior year, the cho-osing of our class colors, Was un- done, when, as exalted Seniors, we ex- ercised the privilege of changing our minds, rescinded the vote, and decided upon blue and white. These colors we shall use at our class banquet, on com- m-encement and class night. With many regrets that our history is not a brilliant account of many worthwhile deeds and startling successes, we bequeath our de- termination to tell the unvarnished truth to the historians of the class of 1936.

14 THE PILGRIM ARTHUR STRASSEL We have it from a Junior That he's her perfect man, But Artie only smiles and says, 'fLet her catch me-if she can! 'WARREN STRONG How Warren Strong must have envied Browning's Herve Riel! For Herve didn't have to go to school To become an admiral. LOUISE SYVIFT She likes to ride, Plays tennis, too, There isn't much She doesn't do. RUTH TINGLEY Tinker often dances, Tennis she enjoys, She's very fond of riding- And also fond of boys. NELLO TORRI In studies Nello has attained An envied reputation, An how Miss Carey did enjoy His French pronunciation! DONALD TRACY When he tells of his exploits We hold our breath with pride, Baron Munchausen's second rate When Tracy hits his stride. ARTHUR MARGARET STRASSEL VALLER MARGARET VALLER Margaret comes from Mano- met, The distance isn't great- And though she's often ab- sent, She is never late. RICHARD VOGHT When he had his picture taken, The photographer opined That he would take the best of all- His face was the right kind. CHARLES WALL On a stormy day near the sea, With a gun or two to shoot, That's where Charley wants to be To kill a duck or coot. ALBERT WALTON From Atlantic to Pacific He's been within a year, For the title of class traveler This boy's without a peer. ESTHER VVHITE A little girl With curly hair, A dance in town?- Then Esther's there. RUTH WHITING If to class you'd carry A shiny megaphone, Your right answers could be heard And your wisdom known.

p p THE 16 p ,, Last Will and Testament HAVING successfully battled our way through four years of Depression and unsuccessfully looked around cor- ners for Prosperity, we, the courageous and overworked class of 1935, do hereby bestow the following humble it-ems upon a most deserving faculty which has guided our staggering steps toward graduation during these last four years: TO MR. SHIPMAN: Adarkroomforthe purpose of demonstrating to the Camera Club the methods of developing and printing pictures Cwhen there is a new P. H. SJ. To MRS. RAYMOND: Another Stephen Cappannari to furnish subjects for ar- gumentation. TO MISS BROWN: A carload of cough- drops to be used the morning after a game. TO MR. BAGNALL: A sound proof room Cwhen ther-e is a new P. H. SJ so that La Marseilles will not disturb his history classes. To MISS CAREY: The biography and works of Gertrude Stein for the delec- tation of her French classes. To Miss WILBER: Courage with which to flaunt public opinion so that she may ride her bicycle in Plymouth. To MISS JUDD: A ke-ep-out sign for her classroom door. It might eliminat-e those trying interruptions during short- hand dictation. To MR. SMILEY: A new book on the advanced methods of grunting. To MR. YOUNG: Twelve lessons in drawing for the purpose of enabling the agricultural classes to distinguish pigs from hens. TO MR. ALBERTIN: Three Cheers! He has proved that it is possible to change horses in mid-stream successfully. To MISS KELLY: Rubber heels for her shoes, if she really wishes to discov-er who's been talking. TO MRS. SWIFT:A special alarm clock to wake sleepy Sophomores on Mon- day morning. CAt any time when she has no use for it, Miss Wi-lber might like to borrow it.J To MR. PIOPPI: An orchestra minus just a few violins. TO MISS RAFTER: Ancient Histori-es minus the story of the Persian Invas- ions. We're sure this will me-et with the ' . I lI1f1fillVl., 1 .-- 1 approval of the Sophomore history students. To MISS LOCKLIN: A room large enough to hold her math classes fwhen there is a new P. H. SJ. To MR. SMITH: A shiny new bus to furnish transportation for the girl- friends of the basketball teams. We believe this will relieve the minds of the boys and enable them to play a better game. To MISS JACQUES: A new French word to substitute for maintencmt. To MR. MONGAN: Apologies for the fact that our College Board English class may have d-isturbed the industri- ous Freshmen. TO MISS DOWLING: An invitation- not to a dance-to come across th-e street. We never see her in the main building. To MISS MCNERNY: A yardstick. It will save her steps. TO MISS HUMPHREY: A policeman to direct traffic around her desk at 12:30. TO MISS LANG: Bubblers in her class rooms as an aid to her throat. To MISS JOHNSON: Typewriting books beautifully illustrated with pic- tures of Clark Gable and Mae West. This will undoubtedly eliminate Eyes on your books. To MISS CooMBs: A padlock for the office door to keep out would-be helpers To MRS. GARVIN: Appreciative spec- tators for girls' sports. To THE FRESHMAN FACULTY! Our promise that we'll vote for a new school when we're twenty-one. TO THE CLASS OF 1936: A deep, dark secret. CSh-shl Mrs. Raymond will use you for guinea pigs in her psychological experiments. Don't say we didn't warn you! To THE CLASS OF 1937: A memory book. Did you forget a Sophomore Hop? To THE CLASS or 1938: Roberts' Rules of Order for class meetings. We hope you won't need it-but we believe in preparedness. Signed, sealed, published, and de- clared by the above-named Class of 1935, as and for their last will and test- ament, in our presence, and we, in their presence at their request, and in the presenc-e of -each other have her-eto sub- scribed our names as witnesses to the same: Pop I.
