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.

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. Thsalermaan Mick E. Mousenminny JEAN BEYTES . MADELINE BERNARDO

18 -W igpgg g TH E Class Prophecy PERUSING the County Farm Courier, Cof which Eric Eccleston is editorb edition of June 7, 1950, we are attracted to several sections of this influential organ. Glowing Praise exudes from the headlines. Fire Chief Charles Baum- gartner successfully battles blaze for four hours.-No,-w-e've mixed the headlines. He started out to quench the coniiagration, but was diverted when he slipped on the skin of a banana which had come from James Devitt's fruit wagon. Minor calamities perpetrated by our errant chief were: upsetting Amelio Pasolini's iieet of peanut wagons, running over Carroll Martin's whiskers Che finally grew somej, and slightly damaging a truck load of eggs en route to Wilfred Sant-erre's Grocery Store. Among the last-minute bulletins is a communication from Washington, D. C. fDepartment of Chiselersb which states that Stephen Cappannari, w-ell known for his palliation by specious reasoning, has succeeded in jamming through the Senate a bill which prohibits using non- union labor in the pickle-packing indus- try. Another bulletin r-elative to the same subject says that James Clarke, eminent broker and believer in the op-en shop, asserts, Wall Street is due for another panic. This up-start will ruin our pros- perity. Our forefathers got along with- out unionizing pickle plants, so why can't we? Edward Hall, John M-edeiros, and Alb-ert Walton, well known soap-box orators, were this morning incarc-erated in the local hoo-segow because of a de- nunciatory speech directed against the bill. They will be defended by Robert Appleton, well-known lawyer. An interesting item from Timbuctoo tells us that Robert Marvelli, the famed linguist, who left here last year on a sight-seeing trip to foreign lands, has finally found someone to pay his passage to America. He was strand-ed there due to a distressing inability to rememb-er the Fren-ch, Italian, Spanish, Portu- guese, German, and Pig Latin for, Brother, can you spare a dime? We note that the launching of the newest Ocean Kiddie Kar Cd-esigned by Winslow And-ersonj took place today. The monstros-ity was christened by Marjorie Cantoni, who arrived lat-e for the ceremony. Since some hardened Hlcher had stolen the champagne, Laurence Guerra heroically gave up his .lQfUeQ1ilM.. . lunch, a thermos of Ovaltine, for the purpose. Anthony Caramello will pilot the ship around the Gurnet and back. Brave fellow! The annual report from Angelina DeTrani's Orphan Asylum is printed in this issue. The Head Beadle, Ernestine Squibb, reports that, due to an epidemic of indigestion, Malvina Emond, the Keeper of the Grub, has been able to save a considerable amount of corn meal mush. Three cheers for the H. B. and the K. of the G. On page 2, several advertisements catch our -eye. Jeanett-e Goodwin and Helen Brewer offer to demonstrate a horse-drawn automobile. Absolutely the latest in society circles, they say. Gertrude Henning's store offers Man- nish Clothes for Women, and Womanish Clothes for M-en. Marjorie Kierstead and Margaret Vall-er, proprietresses of the Knittery I-everything for the knitterj will give a premium to anyone who can solve th-e jigsaw puzzle found on the back of Daisy Chain yarn, which is manufac- tured by Bradford Martin. Oscar Marshfs Funeral Emporium ex- tends season's greetings to all and thanks everyone for the excellent busi- ness he has been enjoying. Local business moguls announce a merger through which they hope to corner the market in Plymouth and its -environs. Those engaged in this con- solidation are: Vincent Govoni, salami manufacturer de luxe, Robert William- son, breeder of contented cows, John Chapman, mugger fphoto-graph-er to youl for the Police Department, and Nita. Fiocchi, whose hair-bows have be-en copied by smart women every- wh-ere. Lucy Bernagozzi and Helen Finney announce several bargains this week. Drastic reductions in dust picker-uppers and cobweb-preventers are announced. They also offer, at reduced prices, Roland Martin's latest invention. It is called the Mother's Helper, and per- forms several tasks simultaneously. For example, the machine can mix cocktails, cement, and cr-eosote to form a delicious plum pudding. If you do not care for th-e pudding, m-erely switch to another wavelength and get Reducing Exer- cises by Gerald Mayo. No guarantee is given with any machine. Nello Torri, Chief Oyster of the Hoister, Hoister, and Dropp-er Co., will ofliciate at the r-enovation of the Plym- outhe Rocker. A new crack will be added. William Pearson has propagated a new kind of Peerless Pigeon. It is sold
