Class Will PREAMBLE We, the class of 1953, solemnly sworn to be the most tempermental, downtrodden, weary, abused class ever to be parolled from SHS, do hereby declare this to be our only , will and testament made of this nature. SECTION I Article 1 - To Mr. Hennigar, we will and bequeath a warning bell before the end of each period so that he will dismiss his class on time. Article 2 - To Mr. Norton, we give an enormous file so that he may stash away his quiz papers in alphabetical order. Article 3 - To Mr. Trocchi, we give a supply of calculators for his eighth grade arith- metic class. Article 4 - To Miss Harrahy, we leave the patience to put up with arguments from anti-Shakespeare students. Article 5 - To Miss Ryan, we give a jet plane so her weekend visits will be longer. Article 6 - To Mrs. Roraback, we will a magnetic pair of glasses so that she may never have to search for them again. Article 7 - To Professor Barrette, we leave a secretary so that he won ' t have to take attendance. ( All the more time for singing, eh? ) Article 8 - To Mr. Cane, we leave an easy chair on wheels so that he may be com- fortable while directing traffic. SECTION II Article 1 - To the class of 1956, under the supervision of Mrs. Roraback, we proudly grant the sole right to have a fashion show every year until they graduate. Article 2 - To Room 1 study hall we give a television set so that the students may watch the World Series. Article 3 - To the members of the girls ' glee club we will roller skates so that they will have an easy trip to Memorial Hall. Article 4 - To the basketball teams we grant a new gymnasium. Article 5 - To future classes in SHS we leave our class spirit and co-operation.

rising. And BETTY STEVENS too. . .she was the nurse in our play. Bet makes a good nurse - she was always so sweet and patient. P.B. Her job as head of the Children ' s Clinic in Providence is ideal for her. Of the four of us who wanted to become nurses, only Betty and ANN HURLBURT went into training. L. G. That ' s right. . .Ann is supervisor at Johns Hopkins Memorial Hospital in Baltimore, isn ' t she? P.B. Yes, and she ' s very well liked there. But Les, can you imagine SHEARS BOARD- MAN, our Class Blusher, married, with a family and owner of one of the most prosperous dairy farms in Berkshire County? L.G. Shears always WAS the home-loving type. . .but DON HOLCOMB is the one who suprised me! Imagine. . .proud owner of one of the most patronized night clubs in New York. P. B. Have you met his wife? A lovely person. . . she was Miss America of 1955. . . and they have twin sons. L.G. Oh, how nice! By the way, PHYLLIS ARMSTRONG seems very enthusiastic about her job as Athletic Director in the new Regional School at Sheffield. She ' s man- aged several championship teams. P.B. Incidentally, Les, where are you teaching now? L. G. Oh, both my husband and I are teaching at Hennigar ' s School for Higher Learning in Alaska. P. B. You ' re as far from home as I am ! L.G. Yes. What are you doing in sunny California, Phyl? P. B. I own a Beauty Salon which services many movie stars, but most of my time is spent at home with my two children, Leslie and William. Leslie is named after you as I promised you I would the night we wrote the Class Prophecy. L. G. Oh, how flattered I am ! I hope I can see them both soon. P.B. Yes, you must come for a visit before long. But now, it ' s getting late and we both have long trips ahead of us, so I guess we had better say Good Night. L.G. Yes. . .1 could go on for hours though, but I guess we had better postpone it un- til that visit. Good Night!
