CLASS WILL-Phyllis Rousseau leaves her baby stare to the producers for television purposes. That should keep the Boys at home by their radios. Frannie Walsh gives the north basket in the armory to Ed Smatresk. Letys hope he has better luck than Franny. Shirley Hatch leaves her Belmont camp to Cornell University. ls it the altitude or those native mermaids the Cornell boys like? Dick Sheppard wills his Glen Miller recordings to Earl Jasmin. Dancing class must go on! Although by next year the Solarites will undoubtedly be the swing band of the nation. Libby Chamberlain leaves a bag of marbles to Bill Morgan. She feels he should have exercise. Tom Fox can't find his old blue plaid jacket so he's giving his polo coat to Ed Melen. A perfect fit! Maybe Tom's steak cutting ability would be more beneficial, though. Celia Dougherty leaves a book of directions on How To Paint to Connie Dubeau, our girl artist. Ruth LaVallee gives a box of Pep to the new Monitors so they wonlt fall asleep at their posts. Anson O'Bryan wills the bugs in Havens Orchards to Mr. Van. What's a show without jitterbugs after all? Joyce Hill gives her lace on the Honor Roll to Reg Alexander. It's the only way he'll ever make it. Annabelle Webster gives a dinner bell to the commuters. What a stampede when that bell rings forth its call to the feed bag! Angelo Segale wills a suit to Bob Blay. Surely Bob will appreciate the giftfand why not? Bob Dusckett gives a spare tire to Len,' Wing. The coimtry club road is pretty rough these days. Ruth Dubler leaves Mary Lee a box of bird seed. Ruth thinks that by next year Mary will be able to warble with Nelson Eddy. Reginald Stevens leaves his sign Chow Pups For Sale to Miss Moran who has been envious of it all year. jim Coryea leaves for San Francisco to swing on those Golden Gates he's heard so much about. Pat Head gives an aspirin tablet to every librarian she knows. Pat knows what it's like. Emile Rondeau leaves the Sea Scouts a book called How To Control The Sea by I. M. Good. Armand Richards will give a Rutland Herald free for one month to each subscriber on his route the first time Dick Tracy gets into trouble and canlt get out.

CLASS WILL-Erannie Clifford wills her hockey stick to Betty Burns. Don't be like Franny, Betty. Use it-but only for hockey. Donald Manley gives a bag of peanuts with every dollar purchase made at his store, Don feels he must help put baby brother, Dick, through college. Since john Rowell is willing the Mill Village Spring to the Rutland Water Department, Rilla Sharp decided to will her position of looking after the water su ply in Mendon to the State Lab. in Burlington. Rilla is tired of trying to lignd out when a bug is not a bug. Sally Curtis wills her report card to the faculty. They may never see another like it. A1 Sabataso leaves a tub of spaghetti and meat balls to next year's basket' ball team to be eaten before the tournament. Maybe that will help-or won't it? Veronica Fish gives the wall at the Reformatory to Coach Flaitz to be used for those boys who will break training. Orris Cwuyette leaves his English book to the Chinese. He hopes they will get more out of it than he did. Eileen Burke leaves her job of collecting the slips from the home rooms to jean Maxwell. Eileen thought maybe she would lose a few-well, you know what we mean. Anyhow she says she didn't. Andy Denardo leaves the Country Club road to anyone who Wants it. No more farm work for him! Charlotte Pilon leaves the Bridgewater Woolen Mills to jean Stearns. That will save a lot of wear on that road. You may think all these students have been generous but what would you think if some boys and girls willed their personal talents! Well, that's just what Bill Rathbone is going to do. He leaves his acting and singing abilities to Dick Seward, along with a pair of horn rimmed glasses. And that's not all! Shirley Mae Murray has consented to leave some dance steps to the 1941 Prom Committee. That should draw a crowd! Bill Houston wills a copy of Careers ln the Making to the class of '41 to help them along. Bill says it may help them along, but it didnlt help his marks any. Anne Polcaro leaves an extra rah to the cheering squad for next year's football games. Russell Smith leaves to take a job with the Midgets at the Wor1d's Fair. Ralph Barnard leaves a pair of ear muffs to Alison Cady. He hates to have to worry about Dugan's ears next winter. Sara Bruzza is so tired of seeing the bent shovels of the W. P. A. that she has decided to give new ones to the roj ect. These new ones are unbendable and are made so two can lean on one shovel. We are sure Bernard Kazon and jerry Porter will appreciate the improvement. George Halliday wills East Creek to the Board of Aldermen. What will they do with it? You ask them, it's their's now. To dam or not to dam is the question. I Sue Woodfin leaves a wheel chair and some crutches to the Pico Ski C ub. Art Myhre wills the Rutland Railroad day coaches to the Museum of Fine Arts.
