THELMA SYLVIA Thelma's voice, so sweet and low, Is one of Miss Wilber's woesg But she can speak in accents clear When she does it with her toes. FRANCIS TAVERNELLI With him it's axiomatic: From one's high school days Returns are in proportion To the effort one displays. BRADLEY TEXEIRA If only it were possible To spend the entire day I n Aeronautics a n d M a - chines- Then work would turn to play. HILDA VALENTE Not given to outbursts Of grief or despair, Absorbed in her tasks- May she happily fare. Page 18 I f LAWRENCE SAVOY Happy are we that he wanted To do what he had to dog First he was of the seniors To don the Navy blue. RUTH VICKERY As treasurer of 305 She more than rang the bell: Her room was first in the war bond drive And led stamp sales as well. EARL WALKER We think that he would be distrait Without his lassie fair, For anywhere we choose to go We're sure to see them there. BETTE WATTERSON She's a devotee Of Terpsichore: See Grecian lore If you'd learn more. PEARL YOUNG Pearl goes around with her head in the clouds- To pilot a plane is her dream: If wishing a thing can make it come true, Sbe's sure to come in on the beam.

MARY SALMI She will answer the Navy's call! She goes into training to find The way to ease the suffering Of the broken in body and mind. ELEANOR SAMPSON Dental office or kindergarten-- Which place would be the finer? If the latter is her choice, The tiny will lead the tinier. NORMA SCOTTI To be able to smile In the depths of defeat Is not a test Most girls can meet. RICHARD SEARS Now Dick's a fine young radioman, For motors has a penchantg But when it comes to home- work, He is not so trenchant. ROSE SITTA She looked at her proofs And was frankly dismayedg But the pictures, when fm- ished, Her worst fears allayed. ROBERT SLADE So you'd win for yourself All the ladies' attention? Just learn to play swing Like a boy we won't mention. 4113 Lg' lux MARIE SOUTHWELL Mirror, mirror on the wall, Who is the fairest of them all? We ask you now, is it Marie? So much time she spends with thee. MARIO SPALLUZZI When a teacher's in the room, He's decorous as can be: But let her to the ofiice go, A different boy is he. BARBARA STEVENS She may give it if you ask itg Otherwise she'll keep Her opinion to herself Locked in a silence deep. MARJORIE STEVENS Marjorie has her paint brush. What may we now expect? Deft'y with artistic strokes She'll get the right effect. ALTHEA ST. ONGE As meticulous in hockey As in an English test- Whenever she exerts herself, She does her level best. SUMNER STRATTON Give this boy a job to do And he'll do it at the doubleg It's only when he's idle That he gets into trouble. Page 17

Cfom am! lafamenf WE, the class of 1945, being of sound mind and body, although tempor- arily prostrated because of the over-zealous efforts of our teachers to impregnate us with knowledge, do declare this to be our last will and testa- ment and make the following bequests: To THE FACULTY! A me-thod of releasing hungry boys from Room 303 at lunch hour without the usual stampede-for the benefit of Miss Iris Albertini. A miniature rocket ship in which Mrs. Helen Bagnall can spirit C. B. home so swiftly that his C. O. will never notice his departure. A day lin the near futurel when school buses will no longer be late -a boon to Mrs. Ruth Bailey. A girls' English Class that will produce better poetry than ours for Mrs. Louise Bearse. A method of protecting her embryo artists from dripping paint brushes-for Mrs. Margaret E. Brown. For Mrs. Viola Figueiredo, a book of recipes so foolproof that they will never fail, no matter what manner of boy may be attempting them. A squad as ingenious as ours in the art of girls' tumbling-for Mrs. Beatrice E. Garvin. A recording of Don't Fence Me In for Miss Beatrice Hunt, to be played whenever her groups need relaxation. A pasteurization plant to enable Miss Olive Hey to handle the product of the cow she was willed last year in order that she may obey the regula- tions of the Health Department. A hand-tooled leather folder in which Miss Jeannette Jacques may keep her notes on her experiences in France in the summer of '35, A pair of built-up shoes for Miss Helen C. Johnson so that she will not have to look up to her pupils. To Miss Lydia E. Judd, a group of students whose doodlings will bear a rather closer resemblance to shorthand than to Egyptian hiero- glyphics. A recording of her voice fmade of pre-war material for durabilityb to be played each time Miss Elizabeth C. Kelly is about to say, There will be absolutely no talking after 8 :10. A sure-fire method of getting certain students to enjoy Problems of Democracy-for Miss Katherine J. Lang. An endless supply of pencils, blotters, and books for Miss Nellie R. Locklin so that she will never lack planes and edges for her solid demon- strations. Our sincere wishes for lasting happiness to Mrs. Marion Longever. To Mr. Edgar J. Mongan-the hope that he may soon be preparing his classes for peace rather than for war. A special permit to allow Mr. Th-eodore Packard to run his rebuilt gasoline motors. Page 19
