R.lI.S. Searchlight mation as to which teachers can be bluffed, which are easy and which are hard to please. It tells who your favorite authors must be to stand well with your English teacher, the favorite heros of the history teacher, and what questions to ask to make the science teacher forget the lesson and be interesting. This information is invaluable to any wishing to make high grades in the subjects mentioned. lt will be noticed that, although we have left bequests to the junior class, soon to be Senio1's, to to the Sophomores, soon to be Juniors, and to those who will, in the fall become Freshmen, we have made no mention of the present Freshmen class which will be known as the Sophomore class in a few months. WVe have left them no- thing, because by that time their self-valuation will have attained such heights that nothing in our possession would be regarded by them as worthy of their distinction. T o our principal we give and bequeath a sense of relief that we have at last been gradu- ated, pleasant memories of our four years to- gether, and a feeling of pride in any great deeds or noteworthy achievements that our future may contain, realizing that such glories, if any, will owe much to his example and counsel. To our teachers, the faculty of Richford High School, we hereby give, free from all inheritance, luxury, or income tax, our entire store of knowl- edge. From them it came and to them it should be returned, that others may be benefitted by it as we have been. Along with this knowledge is bequeathed much additional information ob- tained by original research and contemplation. VVe feel that it will prove sufficiently startling to merit consideration and might even, with profit, be incorporated in the next course of study. We lack space for details, but shall simply state that our arguments against final exams, as well as those for bigger and better holidays, and no high- er mathematics, our shortened list of require- ments for graduation, are of vital importance and should be familiar to every earnest student of education. We also give and bequeath to the teachers our very kindest regards and our sincere grati- tude for their unfailing kindness and aid. The smaller individual bequests are as follows: lWill you please stand as your name is readj -.-fl Bflly H utclzinson-To you we bequeath the right to use your own fountain pen and consider yourself lucky to get it back. Charles Jackson-To you we bequeath the per- sonality of the Seniors, so that in the future you will be able to keep a girl without our help. M r. Tufllzope--To you we bequeath our sense of humor, highly developed, so that your So- ciology classes might be made more interest- ing. Dana Barlner-To you we bequeath a wire re- corder so you can hear exactly how those long speeches of yours sound to the rest of us. Ilielzarrl Lumlara-To you we bequeath the right to use Evening in Paris perfume any time you want. Betty King-To you we bequeath the right to go out with Norman Doe without any competi- tion. Ianet Laafler-To you we bequeath a small pic- ture of Mr. Tudhope so you'll never forget those sociology Current Events classes. Gloria Currier--To you we bequeath a book on how to talk and talk straight. Faye Bashaw and Albert Perry-To you we be- queath a wedding ring so that you'll have one in advance. Prices are going up, you know. james Corliss-To you we bequeath the right to make as much noise as you want in music not necessarily by singing, even when Mr. Bick- nell is there. Fmmy Bicknell-To you we bequeath the right to go out with any girl in Richford and still go steady with Pam in Burlington. Maurice Dubrule-To you we bequeath a sub- scription to one of the funniest joke books so that you'll never be caught without a Witty remark. Keith Marston-To you we bequeath the right to go out with a certain junior girl no matter what Dick Lahue says. ltoger Creighton-To you we bequeath the right to get another girl to save you a seat on the bus as a certain junior girl did this year.

Bick- nell, explained to us that we were expected to study at least 15 minutes every day. Imagine, I5 whole minutes a day. lack-One of our punishments was to have to take English for four long years but I don't know how any English teacher, and especially Miss Stront, could have gotten along without me to read and explain to the rest of the class when she was lost for words. john-And then there were those Social Stu- dies where we were made to get up at 6 o'clock in the morning to get the latest news reports so that we could inform Mr. Tudhope of what was going on in the world. lack-l don't see how this place is going to get along without us seeing that we kept the place neat, kept order in the study hall when the teachers were down powdering their noses, and kept Mr. Papinean's beautiful gym floors clean of black marks. john-And how will the Clee Club get along without me to hold the bass section together, and how will the band get along without you to help Mr. Benoit direct and lead it? jack-l'm worried about M1'. Papineau. VVhat will he do without me to knock in that winning run in a tight ball game and without you to pull the basketball team out of a hole when when they are losing? luck-lt worries me when I think of those math classes. Mr. Bicknell always depended upon me to show him how to do the written problems. john-Mrs. Benson will miss me i11 typing be- cause I kept the machines in good repair and gave all of her time tests. lack-Mr. Papinean will miss my being around because I was the only one in school with whom he could speak French and expect to be understood. john-Even Ross will miss me because it was I that made the underclassmen keep the floors clean and the baskets emptied. lack-What will Halloween be like? The town will be ruined, because it was always us who helped Luke Martin keep order. john-The underclassmen never did appreci- ate ns but when we are gone they will realize how much they depended upon our brains and abilities. And I don't see how any social affairs can be held after this. Why, we were the social lions of the school. We kept the girls occupied with our wonderful dancing and conversation. How we used to slay those girls when we would walk into the dances. Theyill be lost without us. luck--But john think of the Minstrel show how will those endmen ever get along without me to get the jokes over for them. john-Dear Miss Stront, she was always yell- ing at me and making herself hoarse. I wonder what she will do without me to keep her sweet voice exercised. Jack-John, I think the town should call a special town meeting so that we can be put on the school board so that the place will be able to carry on next year.
