diner I glanced in at the city’s best beauty parlor, and there I saw Betty Hunt and Carmella Falsone who were both doing very well as hairdressers. My train left that night, but I heard before going that Ethel Coffin was a very happy housewife who lived in the suburbs of the city. I arrived in New York the next morning. That just about concludes my information about the Class of ’42. Do you know what Bill Rogers is doing now? “Yes, I do, Leo. I got a letter yesterday from Doris Sherman who is a teacher at Albany Business College. She told me that she saw Bill Rogers in Montgomery Wards buying a new tractor for his farm. Marie Hutchinson is doing very well as a bookkeeper at Wards, while Irene Pratt designs many of the dresses for the company. It seems that Juanita Ketchum and Elsie Coffin have set up in business, running a dancing school for bashful men. Elsie and Juanita take care of the dancing end of it, and have Tressa Osterhoudt to run the financial part of the school. I heard that some of the customers go to see the local Red Cross nurses, Shirley Pett and Edith Loomis, after they have had a few lessons at the school. Can it be the girls tire the boys out, or do they need a few lessons themselves? Doris told me chat Harry Morrill and John Keeley are doing fine in the night club business that they have started up. She closed her letter by telling me that Marjorie Yandell, Millie Quinn, and Josie Arsenault are all working at defense jobs.” Just as I finished telling Leo about this letter, the all clear signal blew, or at least, I thought it was the all clear signal, but I knew that I was mistaken when I heard my mother calling, “Hurry up and get up, Chauncey, or you will be late for school.” So ended my dream about the future of the Class of ’42. Chauncey DeGarmo THE CLASS WILL We, the class of nineteen hundred and forty-two, do hereby ordain, establish and present this document as our last will and testament before departing from SchuylerviUe High School. In doing so we leave our much coveted virtues to our followers. To the Junior Class we leave Room 12 where many home room meetings and parties were enjoyed. To the Sophomore Class we leave our good sportsmanship. To the Freshman Class we leave some of the common sense that we have gained through four years of high school. Now to these loyal classmen we leave some of the abilities of the noble seniors. Starting with the Juniors, we leave these abilities which we hope will benefit them. First of all, to Marion Toleman we leave the pigtails of Eleanor Booth. We think Paul Coffinger could use the wittiness of Fred Boyce. Phelena Wood is presented with Ethel Coffin’s engagement ring. We think Jeanette Baine might like a little of Elsie Coffin’s cheerleading ability while Carmella DeMarco might like to use some of Helen Pleshko’s flirtations. We know Theresa LaFountain would like Doris Sher- man’s shorthand ability while Mona Gravelle might like Shirley Pett’s pretty blond 30
