Galloping Ghost Class Will by Aline Giroux and Paul Wilson We, the class of 1949, being of doubtful mentality and, by this time, utterly devoid of all reason, do hereby bequeath to those who are left after we leave, the following: I, Ruth Chase, do sadly bequeath my nice warm fur coat to Janet Prescott to keep her warm when Albert isn't around - when. I, Lois Rogers, do will my capable cheerleading voice to Bunny Wagner. This is to be used from 8:30 to 12:00 A. M. and from 1:15 to 3:30 P. M. I, Robert Denko, do leave to my younger brother with the excellent first soprano voice, my ability to sing bass, just to even things up a bit. I, Thelma Ordway, do will my horse and buggy to Louis Belisle, so that Louis won't have to solicit rides from other people any longer. I, Audrey Fuller, do will my ability to go out with one and only one boy at a time for more than a week to Pat Brainerd. I, Richard Chamberlin, do will my board and room over at Whitney's to an underclassman who would desire such a position. I, Mary Lou Duto, do bequeath my livewire system of accumulating and distributing the latest news, to my sister, Irene. I, Carolyn Eddy, do will my love of silence and my quiet manner to Edward Brown. Oh, no, not that I think you need it or anything like that, but -. I, Michele Nicoletti, do bequeath my ability to boast and bluff to any- one who will listen. I, Eleanor Goodrich, do leave my quiet and ladylike manner to Carlene Rogers. I, Duane Sargeant, do will my huge physical frame to Richard Brown so he will be able to hold his own in this world. I, Naomi Jennings, do leave my height to Janet Grassette, so that she, too, can get a bird's eye view of what is going on. I, Jean Hodgdon, do will to Elwin Preston, one driver's license, com- plete with charge account for fenders, radiators, broken bones, etc., just in case - well, we won't go into that now. I, Perley Day, do will my low-backed car to anyone who may have a substantial bankroll to keep it running. I, Elaine Davis, do will my ability to keep secrets to my sister, Doris. I, Katherine Laskey, do leave to the first one who applies, my dear old English notebook Cwhen I get it done, that isj so that somebody Won't have to work as hard as we did. Ha, ha! I, Paul Wilson, do will my ability to quiet down in Mr. Murray's study hall to Dorothy Fullam. I, Sally Royce, do willsmy dislike for bookkeeping to Barbara Smith. I, Beverly Osgood, do bequeath my naturally curly hair to Richard Rattie, so that Richard won't have to spend so much money on Toni per- manents this summer. I, Elmer Ellis, do will my love for red hair to any girl in the freshman class who might be interested in Dean Harrington. . I, Polly Smith, do will my roaring voice at basketball games to Bunny Day so that the future games will be as loud as the past ones. I, Norma Morse, do leave to Cynthia Holden, a complete 'translation of all the sentences in the French III grammar book and also complete in- structions on how to cure subjunctivitis. Would that someone had done the same for me last year! I, Weldon Osgood, do leave my comfortable back seat in study hall, said seat equipped with window, convenient radiator, nearby wastebasket and a couple cuds of chewing gum, to anyone of the junior boys who al- ways get front seats.

Galloping Ghost Mrs. Simmons, with Mrs. Stokes standing behind her, not daring to laugh aloud. Miss DeLuca was our eighth grade teacher. Thelma and Roma Rice met us there. Because of the unexpected death of Mrs. Simmons we had no play. Mrs. Blaisdell completed the year. We will never forget how we held our breath for Polly Smith in her White gown at the Historical Pag- eant. Norma Morse had her troubles when Joan Haupt and Bob Slayton got hold of the note Roy Haupt sent her. How she went crying to Miss DeLuca for protection. We had a swell time on our picnic at Steeleis camp where no one got into the poison ivy. Our diplomas still have spots on them from the usual tears of Miss DeLuca. In the fall bf 1945 we entered high school with 60 students. We had Mr. Murray and Mrs. Bartlett for our advisers. Our class officers were: President, Philip Mclntyreg Vice-President, Robert Slaytong Secretary, Michele Nicolettig Treasurer, Jean Prior, Student Council members, Colin Gray, Jr., and Jean Hodgdon. Our Carnival play was, In Doubt About Daisy. After entering our sophomore year we found we had lost Joan Haupt, Douglas Flint, Thelma Rice, Chester Rogers, Burton Smith, Donald Patch, Robert Tabor and Bernard Race. This year we gained Arlene Brassard and Alyce Beaudoin, making 54 students. , Our officers this year were: President, Philip Mclntyreg Vice-Presi- dent, Robert Slayton, Secretary, Polly Smith, and Treasurer, Jean Prior, Student Council members, Colin Gray, Jr., and Jean Hodgdon. We had Miss Corson and Mr. Gaidys for our advisers. th With our Carnival play, The Widow's Plight, we walked away with e cup. The next year we found ourselves jolly juniors with two new stud- ents, Ruth Chase and Harold Semling. Many had left, leaving only 46 this year. . We elected as our ofiicersz President, Robert Slaytong Vice-President, Jean Hodgdong Secretary and Treasurer, Jean Prior, Student Council members, Lois Rogers and Philip Mclntyre. Again We had Miss Corson and Mr. Gaidys for our advisers. During the year We held dancing school to raise money to put in the treasury. H This same year we gave the seniors their reception at the Parish ouse. Our Carnival play was, Dad Takes a Rest Cure. The next year we found ourselves as silly seniors and we gained Aline Giroux, George Vernimb and Robert Shanks, but lost Jean Prior, Eliza- beth Flint and Harold Semling, leaving 46 to graduate this year. We elected as our oflicers: President, Polly Smith, Vice-President, Jean Hodgdon, Secretary, Lois Rogersg Treasurer, Erma Ellisg Student Council, Thelma Ordway and Richard Chamberlin. Again we had Miss Corson and Mr. Gaidys for our class advisers. t. This year we had socials, food sales, a play and t.he freshman recep- 1on. Our senior play Was, Song of My Heart, while our Carnival play was Command Performance. As Commencement Week draws to an end, our minds turn toward future planning. May We all look back to our happy days at R. H. S. with pleasure and continue to make history of which we will be proud.

We, the forty-niners and famous gold diggers, do leave our pick and shovel to the junior class in hopes that they will find more gold than We did. Is it possible? . To the sophomores, we leave our ever-present brotherly love, which is usually displayed during class meetings I ? ! To the freshman class we leave our sympathy, we were freshmen ourselves once. I-Iaving used our doubtful mentality to its best advantage, and being now thoroughy frazzled, we do hereby relinquish all claims to this, our priceless heritage. Witnesses, SHMoo UPSON DOWNS I. M.
