Alex-Yes, and didn't the baboon we saw look like Adrien Breault? With those goo-goo eyes. Gaylord-Yes, he surely did look like Adrien. But the way that pet parrot chattered reminded me of Bruce Archambault's eternal talking. Re- member how Mr. Pierce always had to shut him up in Agriculture? Daton-Did you see those dumb creatures called monkeys that live in Africa? They re- mined me of john Daignault and Roger Lumbra. Alex-They looked the part, all right. By the way, did you notice how the ostrich's wings looked like Io-Anne Ieune and her hair do? So prim and proper. Daton.-The love birds reminded me of Bev. Sonthward and Aubrey Bashaw, always billing and cooing. Gaylorfl-Say, didnit that shoesnake look just as cool and as calm as janet Taylor? Alex-When we got into the animal section, the lambs we saw reminded me very much of Agnes La Croix and Irene Brodeu1'. --------..-...................................................U.-.-Nin..nm.......m.......mm.m...m-11-IumIIII-I-mI.-1--11-1H1-mamma-nmnmm.i 3 IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIlIllllIllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINYIIIIIDIIIIIIIIIllllIIIIIIHlIIIIIlIllllllllllllllmlllllilll Daton-Didnit they, though? That turtle looked an awful lot like Clayton Ploof. He was so slow moving and deliberate. Gaylord-That mountain goat way up there on that peak reminded me of Ardelle Martin and her home far away on Hardwood Hill. Daton-That kangaroo reminded me of Mar- garet jackson flying around the study hall. She was always very active in and out of school. Alex-The camel looked long-legged and skinny like jack Buckley. Daton-The cat looked so friendly and silky that I thought of Ann Bicknell at once. Gaylord-Do you remember the fox? He was so alert and bright eyed that I was reminded of Bruce Hodgman. Alex-The rabbit made me think of Virginia Clough. always hopping around. Daton-The cla1n's open jaws looked as powerful as Lyle Rushlow's grip. Alex--The wolverine looked as ready to fight as Cay. Yes, quite a dumb looking thing. Gaylord-And that shy-looking raccoon re- minded me of Daton F leury, who didn't do much running around in the day, either. Daton-The exhibit of the lion at the water hole reminded me of Alex Norris on his nightly trip to King's garage. Gaylord-Well, boys, now that we've run out of classmates to insult, we'd better beat it.

AGNES LACROIX LYLE RUSHLOW VIRGINIA CLOUGH 'I his is the year 1961, and today is the day we hold our class reunion. We on the committee re- ceived telegrams this morning from all our class- mates telling us why they could not attend. Lyle-Virginia, I see you are modeling Huores- cent bathing suits from Evershine Company. You were always an excellent model. Agnes-Lyle, I see you are on the ALL-STAR basketball team. You were always a good basketball player. Virginia-Agnes, I see you have become the world's most accurate typist. You always were accurate in typing at school. Lyle-I'm a steam riveter and like the quiet at- mosphere, am putting nuts in a new sana- toruim so can't leave-Alex. Alex was always quite a chap. I am positive he is the most refined steam riveter in the business. Agnes-I have important case with Sister Kenny. Very sorry cannot make it.-Ann I wonder if Clayton ever got to be a doctor. Virginia-I am manager of Macy's Department Store in New York. This is our busy sea- son.-Aubrey I see Aubrey got his start while he was in high school. Lyle-We missionaries are leaving for Iapau im- mediately.-Bruce A. You know Bruce and his Inissions. Agnes-Because of my campaign for president I will not be able to attend the reunion.- Bruce Hodgman I always knew he would get to be president, of something else after being president of our class for two years. Virginia-I am a teacher. Have to go to conven- tion.-jo-Ann I wonder if the students like her any better than she liked her teachers. Lyle-As an astronomer, I am studying the heav- ens at Seashore with beautiful blond assistant. Star gazing date tonight.-Clayton Still up to his old tricks. Agnes-Sorry cannot attend, aIn having trouble with a few of the children at the orphange.- janet Her motto was business before pleasure and I guess she is living up to it. Virginia-Sorry cannot make it. I am a detective and am on a murder case.-Roger l guess Roger got his start in the senior play as being a policeman. Lyle-just joined the navy to see the world through a porthole.-Gaylord Cay is so ambitious. He will probably be an Admiral by the time the Heet reaches Manila. Agnes-I am personal manager of Woolworths in Burlington. Sorry can't make it.-Ardellc She started working there right after she graduated. She is doing very well. Virginia-Am secretary to the President of the University of Vermont. Cannot attend.- Beverley I see she finally got to be a secretary. Lyle-I am a farmer. I raise winter wheat and summer squash. Cannot come because of harvest.--Daton There is something queer about him. But I suppose Daton is a very scientific farmer and knows all about rotation of crops and every- thing. I wonder if he raises shorthorns. I never can remember whether they are cows or turnips, but he probably raises them any- way.

It was her intention and would have been her great pleasure to present you personally with these tokens of her esteem, but, finding her pos- sessions were even more extensive and valuable than she had thought, it was impossible, partic- ularly as her last days were so occupied with social engagements and other dates not so social, but of great importance to the future, which she was obliged to keep with various members of the faculty. On these occasions, such weird and un- expected questions were addressed to her, an immediate answer in writing being required, that the strain left her too weary for additional effort. Because of this, if any slight discrepancies or apparent injustice or partiality should appear to you in the distribution of her effects, we trust you will pardon it and realize it is caused by ex- haustion of her brain, never strong. We, the class of 1951, in the town of Rich- ford, the county of Franklin, and the state of Ver- mont, being in as good mental condition as usual, and in much better temper than usual, do here- by make this, our last will and testament, render- ing void and of no avail any former will or wills that may have -been previously made by us dur- ing a period of temporary optimism. We have no specific directions to leave con- cerning our funeral, but we do hope you will come prepared to praise as well as bury us, for- getting the trifling faults that may have been ours and remembering only our manifold and re- markable virtues. We feel that our brilliant record and our un- usual achievements will live after us, but, not wishing to take any chances, we suggest that a tablet, on which shall be inscribed our several names and a few of our most astounding deeds, oanunnnnnnnnnnnnuIuIu1IIIIuIII1nunIuuvnrun1nuuuvuInunm-mnnmmumnmnnnunnnnmnmununmmmmnmnnannnmennnunnnnnnuunmuummunm . 1 0 S 3 S 5 I ZH fi 5 5 i 1 be purchased and placed in the gymnasium of the school in a position where it will strike the eye of all who enter. And in this manner do we dispose of our possessions: We give and bequeath, freely and without re- servations or stipulations to the junior class, our rightful heirs, our most important and valuable properties: that is, our self-satisfaction, our im- portance, and our wisdom, all of which we pos- sess in enormous quantities, and we hope said gifts will be of use in overcoming their present inertia. We also leave the junior class our good luck. It made us what we a1'e today, and it should sat- isfy them. In addition to this, all our privileges and rights as Seniors in the classroom will revert to them as well as any notebooks, pencils, foun- tain pens, unfinished lollypops, or unfinished business, including debts contracted while en- gaged in the business of being a Senior, also any boys or girls whom we may have left behind in our haste. We give and bequeath to the junior class our Well-known nerve, which they will need next year, and all the examination questions we have been given during the past year. We believe that an examination, like history, often repeats itself. The answers, never owned in entirety, have long since been mislaid by us and are not included in this legacy. To our good friends, the Sophomore class, we leave our patience. It will be found useful as the only means by which they can endure the juniors. To the young and unsophisticated Freshmen we leave a map of the school building, so that they will not get lost and roam about in every- body's way looking for their classrooms. We in- clude with this map our little book entitled, How To Tell The Teachersf' a pamphlet com- niled by us after four years of hard study. The legatees will notice this book is not what to tell the teachers but how. It contains specific infor-
