Theresa Obie leaves her position as governess to the little tots of the first grade to Geraldine Hanna. Perhaps if you speak to Theresa, she will explain to you, Gerry, how she used this privilege to evade seventh period study hall. Eileen Nevins leaves to Ann IT i I cox her feminine allure. Herbert DeGarmo leaves the family ear in the hands of his favorite brother. Careful, Lin—drive slowly—consider your fellow drivers—and like your brother, take care of things. Martin Munson wishes to pass on to Carinella Sirchia the obligation of pre- serving the senior prestige, honor, and the controlling reins of the school. To this post we add Martin’s easy going ways, his pleasing peronality and his in- gratiating smile. Curt Hauer bequeaths to Joe 11 alley those powers of guidance and leadership which compel him to initiate anonymous phone calls and 4 A.M. tours to neigh- boring hotels of New York City. Joseph Cartwright leaves his theory of the speed of light to the world. Elsie Cook bequeaths her share in the feminine struggle to occupy those pre- ferred seats on the school bus, near those Thompson mentors, to Dora Clark. Harry Duket leaves to George Trail.his stripes and the sole distinction of being the last member of Companv L (New York State Guardi in Schuvlerville High. Theresa DeGrechie, who during the past year made an advancement to the S. H. S. teaching staff, through her substitute teaching in Home Economics, would like to share her fortunate association with the faculty, to some desiring junior girl. Dick (Scoop I Hudson leaves his newspaper work to Mary Fremont who has a nose for news. Hazel Garnsey and Guy Corsetti relegate their passionate outbursts to Geneva Garnsey, who is a little inclined to speak before thinking. Art Charron, our champion jitterbug and star pitcher, would like to leave his talents to Bill Myers. Art leaves some fatherly advice to Bill, and also be- lieves that with these added abilities. Bill can really excel in his position with the feminine gender. Earl Derby thinks that Bob Myers would be a very suitable person to take his position on the milk truck. You will have to get up before 8:25. Bob. 28

FADEOUT FOK ’45 In this year nineteen hundred and forty-five, this much abused class, as yet in a rightful frame of mind, but knowing our immediate future, feel that we should divide among our favorite successors the virtues and characteristics that have undoubtedly made our class outstanding. With due thought and consider- ation, we bequeath these cherished items: Ruth Willette desires to leave most of her curiosity to Elaine Coffin. It is said that this is a most desirable trait when used to pursue the academic course. Lester Stiles leaves his paper air plane designing ability to Robert Bruce, who already as a junior, shows remarkable progress along these lines. (Please do not use room 16 as a proving grounds for your models ) Lester also requests of Charles Booth, that, if in the event Charley should get to New York with the oncoming senior class, he should lock up an all night roller skating rink. This was one desire that Lester was unable to fulfill. Mary Young, by special request of a close friend, wills her gum smacking habit to Florence Boyce. Denton Pander Poel, a card (deuce), if there ever was one, relinquishes to Joe Ruff the honor of having the craziest pipe dreams, of being an Edison and a- Steinmetz in reverse, and a future news commentator. With all this added zest, Joe, you should be able to “send” them all. Bob Sanders wishes to leave his modesty and quiet manner to Robert Sails. Mildred Willelte seems to be the only girl, at the present time, who is quite intimate with the Greenwich hoys, both in and out of service. It has been sug- gested that Helen Brownell should succeed in Mildred s place, perhaps. Eugene Periard leaves a vacancy in the Stamp and Bond Club. Now there is a chance for some smart junior I if there are any smart juniors! to work himself into a lovely racket. May wre give you a woid of advice. Think and then look twice before you do any deviltry Friday afternoons.” Ann (Buck) Rogers leaves her space patrol to the 25th century. Robert O'Brien bequeaths his position as hall monitor by the girls’ locker room to Bill Myers. Act like Boh, Bill, and keep those girls in line. Mary Booth bestows upon Helen Walsh her intense interest in new library books. Do you think you can read three or four books a week, Helen? 27

Alice Nevins, who has been known to help fellows and girls alike with their homework, leaves her appreciated generosity, along these lines, to Dora Clark. Dick Klwell leaves his witty remarks, his hallucinations, his spontanous answers, his vigor, and his jovial grin to Leon Crandall whose system could use an added spark. Edith Garnsey leaves Jeon DeVoe the honor of being the school’s foremost chatterbox. Mary Alice Harris leaves her intimate friends Esther Sonn and Lillian Boyce to settle their own disputes. Anna Melaga leaves her demure (unseen-unheard) personality to Florence Boyce, whose presence is frequently prominent. Jack McCarty along with Ann Rogers takes leave of the numerous cousins and other relatives (namely Miss Helen Gannon, Joseph Flatley, and Helen Walsh) of good old S. H. S. It has been suggested that Joe and Helen change to a business course and make things easy for themselves, like their predecessors. Jane Duby leaves those virtues that teachers so often praise but so rarely find, promptness in daily assignments, serious altitude toward schoolwork, and com- plete co-operation, to Gerry Hanna, who already has these qualities in large measure. Margaret McGowan, who seems to have the knack of making baskets in a crisis of a basketball game, leaves this most fortunate ability to Bob Sails, who says, quote: “I wish 1 could do that,” or “ain’t that something.” Betty Corselti leaves to Eva Nadeau, a close friend, those common charac- teristics: petiteness, dark-haired attractiveness, and vivacity. We, the Senior class as a whole, will our home room and its annex, the li- brary. to the class of ’46. Furthermore we bequeath the memories of our happy high school days to you unseemingly fortunate successors. In conclusion we re- mind you that as we leave school, it is you that will carry the burdens and pleas- ures of the senior class. Signed, sealed, and delivered this 20th dav of April in the year of our Lord, 1945. —Curtis Bauer ’45 29
