Article VI — Dick Armstrong wills his title of Class Wolf to John Somes. Beside these bequests, we leave our best wishes to any and all who may desire them. Article VII — Tony Malnati wills and bequeaths to Don Curtiss the sole right to sit with Phoebe on the Basket Ball bus rides next year, but on long trips (Chester) Mr. Hartley has the right to sit between them. After all someone has to keep the poor man warm. Finally, we do hereby name and appoint as the sole executor of this, our last will and testament, our class advisor, Mr. Spriggs. In witness whereof we, the class of 1947, the testator, have set our hand and seal on this 19th day of June in the year of 1947. TE ' W T Statistics Nineteen hundred and forty-seven will always be remembered as the year that the very large class of six walked out of the golden doors of Sheffield High School and left for larger realms to find out what we could accomplish in this world of ours. Here ' s an idea of what we hope to accomplish in this world of ours but it is another thing whether we do or not. Richard Armstrong — Dick is going to Berkshire. It is a good thing there aren ' t any girls out there or you wouldn ' t be getting much studying done. Elizareth Cassidy — Sis, you wouldn ' t by any chance be settling down after you get out of high school with a certain he-man from New York? Antonio Malnati — Tony is planning on going to college. Don ' t let the girls keep you too busy, Tony. If you have anything wrong with your pets about 6 or 7 years from now, just call up Dr. Malnati, Vet. Helen Martin — Helen is out to keep things flying in the commercial field. Don ' t let the typewriter run away with you, Helen. Mary Pixley — Mary, we hear you are going to keep house for a certain person fr om Monterey. Don ' t let him work you too hard. Marian Rote — Marian is another one of our telephone operators. Marian, don ' t let us think you are going to be connecting everybody ' s numbers all your life. Sooner or later you will connect yourself up with the right one. Now that we have shown you our hopes for the future, think what you may of what will become of us. W

ment, which history teacher is especially fond of Napoleon, and what questions to ask to make the science teacher forget the lesson and be interesting. This information is invaluable to any wishing to make high grades in the subjects mentioned. Article VI — It will be noticed that, although we have left bequests to the class, soon to be Seniors, to the Sophomores, soon to be Juniors, and to those who will, in the fall, be- come Freshmen, we have made no mention of the present Freshmen Class which will be known as the Sophomore class in a few months. We have left them nothing, because by that time their self-valuation will have attained such heights that nothing in our possession would be regarded by them as worthy their distinction. SECTION II Article I — We will and bequeath to Mr. Hartley a wheelbarrel to carry his papers from room to room. Article II — We will and bequeath to Mr. Spriggs a year ' s subscription to Esquire and a can of moustache wax. Article III — We will and bequeath to Mrs. Wayne, Robert Rodacchio to serve as a bouncer for the Glee Club. (Who ' ll bounce Robert) Article IV — We will and bequeath to Mrs. Roroback a wastebasket so that she may have a quiet class after all gum is disposed of. Article V — We will and bequeath to Mr. Somes a few clapboards. Article VI — We will and bequeath to Miss Larkin a chauffeur to call for her at 3:10 every afternoon.

Article VIII — We will and bequeath to Mrs. Leafgreen a set of blindfolds to keep her typists from watching the keyboard. Article IX — We will and bequeath to Mr. Cane a remote control so that he can regu- late the furnace from bed on the winter mornings.

Class Prophecy Time: September 1, 1957. Place: Sheffield Center, opposite Ford ' s Garage. Setting: A new building has been erected. It is opening day and a large lc Sale pre- vails. Mr. Hartley, who is always looking for a bargain, enters the new store. Behind the counter stands a familiar looking chap with a butch haircut and shatter-proof glasses, practically in pieces. Mr. Hartley walks up and shakes his hand. Mr. Hartley: I haven ' t seen you in a dog ' s age. Now let me see, you were the Class of 1947, weren ' t you? Haven ' t seen hide nor hair of that class since their graduation. What has become of them? Dick A: I know what most of them are doing. There were six of us in that over-intelli- gent super-human class — Sis Cassidy, Marian Rote, Helen Martin, May Pixley, (Tony) Malnati, and myself. Mr. H: Yes, that sure was a humdinger of a class. I ' ll never forget all the trouble they gave me. Let ' s start with you, Dick, what did you do after you left S.H.S.? D. A.: Oh, I went to Berkshire for a couple of years, came out of there and kicked around from store to store. I finally became General Business Manager of Hookum Sckoo- cum Co. Chain Stores. You see, that wasn ' t big enough for me so — I heard that my old boss, Francis Q. Kersey was trying to sell his business. So Jimmie Ware and I bought him out. Mr. H.: Well, Dick, I think that you have made a wonderful decision and I see you have enlarged the building. What about your social life, are you married? Dick A.: Of course, I met up with a cute little chicken about six years ago and we got hooked. I ' ve only got four youngsters though. Mr. H.: Whew! What about Marian Rote, what ever happened to her? Dick A.: After graduation Marian continued her telephone operating in Sheffield. She continued loafing there for four or five years and finally was transferred to a main office in New York City, becoming chief operator and was doing well when along came a cowboy from Texas. She turned her switch board in for a buckboard and has settled down in Texas. I understand that Marian does most of the bronco busting. Mr. H.: That sure is a bumpy life. I never thought she would turn to ranching. Where is Mary Pixley? Dick: Oh. Mary, to hold up the reputation of the class and keep things a-popping, was married to Freddie on the Fourth of July following graduation, and did that hope chest come in handy with all those kids to use the dish towels. Mr. H.: My, oh, my. I certainly lost track of that class. Do you happen to know where Sis is? Dick: Well, I never thought Sis was the marrying type but she proved out differently. She married Bob soon after her graduation from S.H.S. and they have been trotting around all over the country. You know, I heard the other day that they were trying to buy the F-2 Milk Bar. Sis always had her eye on that place anyway. Mr. H.: And Helen? Have you seen Helen lately?
