The girl awarded this honor must possess to an outstanding degree the qualities of dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism. In the Class of 1942, Plymouth High School, that girl is Faith Millman. As a sophomore, Faith was Assistant School News Editor on THE PIL- GRIM, participated with enthusiasm in sports, and was chairman of the Invi- tation Committee for the Sophomore Hop. In her junior year, she served on the Matron Committee for the Junior Promenade, took the leading feminine role in the operetta Martha, became a member of the National Honor Society, and sang first soprano in the Girls' Sextet. Now, as a senior, Faith has been captain of the second hockey team, a member of the Invitation Committee for the Senior Dance, and Senior Features Editor on THE PILGRIM. She was a member of the Gay 90's Revue, sang on the radio with the sextet, and was a member of the Dramatic Club. During her entire high school career, her name has appeared on the Honor Roll for highest honors, and, naturally enough, she became a member of the Senior Honor Group. Faith is a junior member of the Plymouth Woman's Club, and does Red Cross work. The Class of 1942 awarded the title of Best Girl Citizen to one who richly deserved it. Doms BERcoNz1N1 '42 Page 26

Clin W!! E, the Class of 1942, as our days in Plymouth High School come to . a close, will carry in our hearts as dear memories the oft-repeated phrases of our teachers. As a token of our gratitude for the influence and benefit which we have received from them, and because from lips other than theirs these words would lose their significance, we deem it fitting that in this declaration of our last will and testament, we bequeath certain phrases back to their teacher owners, so that they may continue to influence students for years to come.

eniord on ara e AITH, a quiet young senior, wasn't quite sure whether to be angry or embarrassed when the camera broke during her appointment with the photographer . . . Sammy has finally discovered that his teacher in trigonometry is a great deal more brilliant than he is . . . If you ever ride with Eddie Johnson, look out the side window. The picket fence is an optical illusion. If you doubt our word, ask Eddie to slow down, and you will discover that the fence is composed of telephone poles . . . Don't be so downhearted, Roger, when we are critical of class meeting procedures. You may well take notice of the fact that very few pupils have initiative enough to rise to a point of order. Possibly the majority of the seniors are not entirely sure of their parliamentary law . . . We are justly proud of two members of our class who are no longer with us. They are Robert Post and Joseph Coggeshall of the United Statesl Navy . . . If girls care about such things, and we have been told that they do, we suggest the Shaw-Vitti method. We hereby nominate the Misses Shaw and Vitti as the two most coy in the class of 1942 . . . Our seniors did a commendable job in the ora- torical contest, but the younger generation just can't be beaten, . . . William' Gault and William Keller were victims of some sort of chronic malady last winter that required them to remain at home on many important exam- ination days . . . Believe it or not --Statistics prove that John Kelley has been a much better boy this past year. Of course, it is only fair to inform the student body that his throwing arm went back on him the first week of school . . . Since we have Queens of This and Queens of That, 1et's elect Janie Franks Queen of Enunciation and Pronunciation . . . We sincerely believe that George Canucci is studious, but we are not gullible enough to think that he has been discussing homelessons with Arleen all year long . . . At first we thought Lydia was well-mannered because of circumstances beyond her control, but now we have come to the conclusion that she is pleasant by nature . . . If the Class of '42 ever becamel stranded on an island, it could still expect to eat, because Russell, Griswold, Carlisle, and Fillebrown all have excellent reputations as hunters . . . Boys, is Agnes Emond correct in believing that clothes make the girl? . . . Teddy has been a French student for quite some time, but the phrase that he translates with greatest ease is cherchez la femme . . . If you believe that the only causes worth fighting for are the lost ones, try to persuade Morton Sturte- vant to speak more slowly . . . We, the Seniors, have been told by Mr. Mongan that we have maintained an exceptionally high scholastic average . . . May all our future endeavors be worthy of such high praise.
