OUR LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT With due thought and consideration, we. the Senior Class of 1943, hereby do will and bequeath, the following choice characteristics and items to certain for- tunate juniors: Faye Moslier leaves to Arthur Almy memories of her. Don Forbes leaves to Joseph Biss his leadership ability. Harris Boo he leaves to Paul Boivin his place in the Eire Department so that he may have a reason for leaving classes without a warning. Bill Harris leaves to Armond Brown (an up and coming “wolf”) his girls. Bob Galusha leaves to Bob Fremont his height. “Tillie” Hebert leaves to Don Hathaway her energy; he could use a little of it. Fred Pechetle leaves to Art Hollman his quiet and polite manner. Doris Hopkins leaves to Watt LaVoy her slimness, and a diet hook with spe- cial instructions, which is also necessary. Blaine Reulet leaves to Winnie Brown, their common characteristics: brunette vivacity. Kathleen and Alberta Drew leave to Doug and Doris Bean their quarrels with each other because Doug and Doris seem to gel along so agreeably. Ann Callahan and Lydia Collela leave to Mary Lou Dolan and Eileen Kevins their places in the quartet to be distributed by them to two other pretty girls. Paul Beaulac leaves to Wilma Phillips his ability to play the trombone be- cause, well, do you remember the Minstrel Show? Jeanette Baine leaves to The Freshmen Bays her art ability, because they take such a great interest in drawing airplanes. Tom Haley leaves to Bob Phillips his basketball ability in hopes he’ll make the Varsity next year. Joe Corsetti leaves to Dick Townley his refereeing ability and a whistle so that he may personally referee the next fight the girls have over him. Mona Gravelle leaves to Peggy Natale a few inches of her height; Mona wouldn’t miss it and Peg could certainly use it. Thelma Connie leaves to Jackie Drew her dress designing ability; we hear Jackie’s really good at it. Bill Harris also leaves to Vern Towns his argumentive ability in History Class. June Boyce leaves to Dot Russell her dancing ability; we need more dancers in this school. Pat Walsh leaves to Nancy Haas her active place in the library. Marie Blodgett leaves to “Millie” Whiting a little of her energy and willing- ness to do work. Erwin Baker leaves to Gloria Wood the place of honor of being the youngest senior. Blondie Toleman leaves to Alice Squires her complete makeup kit. Frank Keetey leaves Mary Lou Dolan to Steve Oslica. Phelena Wood leaves to Marjorie Allen her stenographic ability. Kate Sirchia and Kate Ealsone leave to Kate Moody and Kate Hewitt their in- separateableness as Kates.” Feg Stiles leaves to Thresa Connie her many boy friends in Greenwich. Bob Periard leaves to George Canzeri his place in the Oneida Market. Rudy Greenwalt leaves to John Martin his quietness. Don Nadeau leaves to Ronald Hunt his dancing abiliy; maybe Dot R. and Ronald will gel together sometime. Tim O’Brien leaves to John Nevins his new interest in girls; John hasn’t de- veloped one yet. Carmella DeMarco leaves to Caroline Pecliette her favorite seat in shop. Millie Neilson leaves to Clarence Booth her scholastic ability and interest. Teresa Everts leaves to Betty Brewer her typing ability. Marie Miner leaves to Velma Galusha her talkative ability about her boy friends. Jean Pechetle leaves to Violet Johanson her athletic ability. Signed, sealed and delivered this 3rd day of May. in the year of our Lord. 1943. —Cathryn Sally, Testatrix 21

ing commerce very successfully for several years. Doris had spent the previous evening with Kathryn Salley and Carmella DeMarco, she told us, and had used most of the time talking over old times in S. H. S. Kate is a promising comedienne. Al- ready the country has begun talking of her famous acts. Her facial expressions and giggles are causing a bit of an uproar in Hollywood. It seems that several studios want her to sign their long-term contracts. Carmella had so much experi- ence with the little children in her gym classes that she kept on in that line of work. She is now the supervisor in a large New York playground. Doris has to run now to catch her train. She hastily says goodbye and leaves us for another ten years, perhaps. Out into the street we go. But we don’t get very far for there’s a huge crowd of people, mostly women, in our way. We inquire what’s happening and find the new matinee idol, Tom Haley, has just arrived from Hollywood. Remember how Tom always had a string of girls following him around when he first came to us. Well, he hasn’t changed much only he breaks hearts on a larger scale now. After much pushing and shoving, we reach Tom’s side and finally get his attention. He’s quite surprised to see us and tells us that he has heard from some more of the Class of ’43. Just before he left Hollywood, he met Mona Gravelle at his studio. Mona’s definitely taking Dorothy Lamour’s place in the cinema world. We always knew her long, dark hair reminded us of someone. Tillie Hebert is carrying on her acrobatic career to a “T.” She is a featured performer with the Ringling Brothers’ Circus. She has been a sensational new addition to this old company for the past two years. Alberta and Kathleen Drew have been touring the country for some time appear- ing in a sister act on the art of applying makeup, at the various Woolworth Stores. At first, there was a bit of disagreement as far as their “Before and After’’ routine went, but, finally they agreed to take turns being the “Before” girl. Catherine Fal- sone and Catherine Sirchia are owners of a large bakery on one of the main streets. Hmmm! we wonder where the two “Kates” ever got such an idea. Don Forbes is still in the Army Air Corps. He liked the work so much that he stayed in the service even after the war ended. Jeanette Baine is a leading designer in a famous shop on Fifth Avenue. This is what Jeanette always aimed for in school and now she has attained her goal. As for Lydia Colella, she is now a famous John Powers model. It’s mainly because of Lydia that so many beautiful clothes are sold by leading stores. Tom has told us so much about our classmen that he is exhausted and leaves us with the promise to call on us later in the day. We take a cab to our hotel and pick up a newspaper on our way to our rooms. On the society page of the newspaper we find a column edited by the society writer, Ann Callahan. Her columns are widely read and are so popular partly because of the little French comments or sayings she places here and there. On this same paper work several of our school chums. For instance, Tim O’Brien is the able Business Manager; Joe Corsetti is the energetic sports writer; Faye Mosher is an ambitious reporter, always chasing good stories; and Marie Miner is the cheerful receptionist in the paper’s main office. After resting a while we decide to call the Hotel office to find out what kind of entertainment there is in the Hotel. The hotel manager’s private secretary answers, and we discover that we are talking to Teresa Everts. Teresa has gained many high positions mainly because of her great shorthand ability. Paul Beaulac, she tells us, and his orchestra, are playing at the Starlight Room. Paul had quite a time before he decided to form his own band. All of the top orchestras wanted him, but they usually had quite a bit of trouble with their songstresses. It seems that the latter couldn’t keep their minds away from Paul and on their work. Marie Blodgett and Elaine Reulet are now with Paul’s outfit and are carrying on their harmonizing so that the whole country may hear them. With all this news in mind we set out to a reunion banquet where we hope to meet our old friends and think of all our old good times. 23 —Ann Callahan ’43
