20 PURPLE AND WHITE ECHO ment of being popular at the Square Dances with those Burgy Hillbillys. We hope, Vir- ginia, that you will take very good care of them, as Jo did. Annette Kempisty — bequeaths to Ethel Omasta the joy of being called a Blonde Bombshell by everyone; not only at school, but also by those laddies at the Square Dances. Stacia Kostek — leaves to Laura Pelc, a demure, quiet Junior lass, the expectation for the thrills of going on the Washington trip and having a wonderful time. Only one bit of advice, Laura, don ' t decide to not like studying when you come back. Alex Widelo — leaves to his brother Bobby the gun used in Dangerous Ladies, which had trouble going off. We hope that when Bobby uses it, the gun will prove to be more successful. Irene Kraulis — leaves to Nancy Holly all the candy bars, icebergs, apples and all-day suckers she could not eat while at Smith Academy, in the hope that Nancy will finish them. We hope over-eating will not affect Nancy too much. John Fortsch — thankfully gets rid of his most combustile chemistry set, leaving it to anyone who is tired of living. May the recipient rest in peace! Helen Michalowski — graciously donates her cute giggle to Janet Vollinger, so that Janet can cheer up and be as happy as Helen always is. Jennie Maiewski — leaves to Dorothy Skarzynski all the worries and troubles of getting school paper and yearbook material collected on time. We feel sure that Dorothy will carry on as well as Jennie managed. Bernard Sawicki — leaves all the addresses of his fellow stamp collectors all over the woi ' ld to the sophomore girls, so that they need have no fear of running short of pen pals. Principal Jakobek — We of the Senior Class think we ' d like to leave our worthy principal, in appreciation of his endeavors during the past n ; ne months, a new Z-13 speedboat, fully equipped with heater and radio, to insure comfort, so that he can use the Connecticut River as a short cut to S. A., since his Plymouth is on the verge of collapse, and won ' t be able to endure those long trips all the way from Hadley to Hatfield for the next school year. To Mrs. Pruzynski — Since you have been having trouble with your car. Mrs. Pruzy r n- ski, we have for you a super muffler, guar- anteed to last forever. Now the students will not be able to hear you come down the street. Mrs. Muller — To Mrs. Muller we bequeath a special hand-bag radar set, to aid her in locating the future French and Latin A.W.O.L. ' S. Mrs. Day — To Mrs. Day, our Home Eco- nomics teacher, we leave a robot-controlled helicopter to replace her slightly dilapidated limousine. It appears to be undergoing SUCH a heavy strain when filled with S. A. girls that one is forced to look twice at SUCH SUCHNESS. Mrs. O ' Neill— To Mrs. O ' Neill we leave a carton of freshly concocted bubble gum, which is guaranteed to produce extra-large bubbles. Now Mrs. O ' Neill can keep in rhythm with the next Junior ' s Chawing — Blowing Club. The French 3 class leaves Mrs. Muller a hot-off-the-press edition of the hair-sav- ing Frentogenuloskijapolia-English book, in order that she may translate that newly- discovered language used by her French and Latin psycho-cases. Mr. Symancyk — to Mr. Symancyk we leave a more intelligent Problems class, so that when he is talking about J . Edgar Hoover no one will be of the opinion that the subject of the day is Dick Tracy ' s latest escapade. Miss Ryan — to Miss Ryan, our patient home room teacher, we leave a new senior class with the hope that she does not get as many gray hairs from the new class as she did from us. To the Faculty as a whole we leave a life supply of assorted colors of boot polish to patch up those whitened streaks of hair. Is it possible that we innocent ones have has- tened the work of old Mother Nature?

SMITH ACADEMY 19 a stranger bringing up my daughter. All of you must be simply bored listen- ing to my troubles, so I ' ll close now hoping that you will come down to visit us some- time. Please call or write before you come, for I might be out picking apples or straw- berries and might miss you. Have a good time at the reunion. Your classmate, Peggy. Flatbush Avenue, Hicksticks. Term. Dear Fellow Class Members: I received your kind invitation and was exceedingly overjoyed. Although the via mule mail is rather slow here, I received your special delivery air mail-collected letter in good time — two short months. My school ' s enrollment is rapidly in- creasing from last year ' s three up to a big five! Intellectual desires are rising too. From ancient Slang, to Moderne Slang, a streamlined- ' 57 hog-call, a new moonshine system which even the revenuers can ' t lo- cate, and of course — a revised crossticker course in Bookkeeping. I shall depart for New York City in my Atom Whizzer buggy, and be with you in time for the reunion. Stacia. ANNETTE KEMPISTY JOANNE HOWARD DANIEL FUSEK JOHN FORTSCH Class Will Be it remembered (as if we could be forgotten) that we, the Class of ' 47 of Smith Academy in the Commonwealth of Masscahusetts, being of sound mind and memory, but knowing the uncertainties of this life, do make this our LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT, hereby revoking all former wills by us at any time heretofore made. (Will all the Wills in the house please leave?) After the payment of our just debts and funeral charges — graduation, that is — we bequeath and devise as follows: Gertrude Petrikoski — leaves her now- needless bus tickets to Deerfield to Irene Maciorowski. who seems to have interests there. P.S. Rocket tickets to Hadley are now being sought by Gertie. Daniel Fusek — leaves a half pint bottle of kickapoo juice to Martin Holich, in order to run his jet-propelled motorcycle, while Danny is busy on the planet Venus, filling a mechanic ' s vacancy. Janet Zuchowski — leaves her sister Fran- ces her flirtatious smile and exclusive tech- nique of meeting so-o-o many boys during one Saturday night Square Dance. Stanley Kirejczyk — leaves Carole Howard all his chemistry and French papers, so, that she can spend her evenings with him instead of pondering over books. (We are all sure that Carole will take great advan- tage of this opportunity.) Margaret Vachula — leaves to the next chemistry class a one-hundred-pound bag of sodium chloride — salt to you — in payment for the apparatus that she so mysteriously demolished during experiment periods. (A one-pound box is the usual fee for breaking lab equipment.) Bernice Buckowski — leaves to Charles Labbee all her fatal excuses for being ab- sent, so that Coggy can better them and succeed more often in having his excuses accepted. Leonard Karpinski — Lenny bequeaths to his beloved brother Richard, his position as president of the class, and a most-needed photographer for class pictures to be taken, so there will be no question about where to go. Lucy Szych — leaves to Esther Carter her typing skills and the Royal typewriter lo- cated in Row 1, Seat 3, so Esther can do as well as Lou did on a good typewriter. Joanne Howard — leaves to her friend, Virginia Yarrows, all the fun and excite-

SMITH ACADEMY 21 To the Freshman Class we leave a seven- cent bank account. We wish to have them financially supplied before they become Seniors. Sophomores — We leave to the sophomore class all the headaches of public speaking, the jitters of prize speaking night, and the relief when it ' s all over. May they survive as well as we, when we spoke. To the Junior Class — We of the Senior Class leave our successors nothing but ad- vice to study hard and to try to graduate without too much trouble a procedure which we Seniors wish we had followed. We hereunto set our hand and seal to this Testament, this eighteenth day of June, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hun- dred and forty-seven. MARGARET VACHULA BERNICE BUCKOWSKI BERNARD SAWICKI Class Gifts BERNICE BUCHOWSKI— We feel sure that in the future Bernice will be a very successful police-woman. Just so that you will be able to handle those outlaws, Bern- ice, we are giving you this gun, so that you can practice upon your target shoot- ing and always be prepared. Lord have mercy on the outlaws! JOHN FORTSCH— When we needed help to present a movie we called for Fortschie. When we wanted someone to set up the microphone, we called for Fortschie ; and when we needed a chauffeur to take us out-of-town trips, we called for Forts- chie . Therefore, for his generous service to Smith Academy, we make our first down payment of one cent for Fortschi — all we have left in the treasury — and an I.O.U. to cover the balance. DAN FUSEK— As we all know, Dan has a very keen interest in the mechanisms of a car, so to aid him along the road to success, we have this littTe tool kit, which contains a file, a saw, a club, and a bottle of Kilroy Nitric Acid! ANNETTE KEMPISTY and JOANNE HOWARD— To both Annette and Joanne, who, on the Washington trip, were caught star-gazing into the eyes of three Span- iards, we present Spanish vocabulary books. I ' m sure these books will come in handy for their future correspondence. South America, take it away! LEONARD KARPINSKI— To Lenny we are giving a jar of cold cream. Don ' t you remember how, on our class trip, poor Lenny had such trouble with chapped lips? And how he kept knocking on the girls ' doors at night, asking for some cold cream? Now, Lenny, you won ' t have to bother any one for cold cream — here ' s some all your own. STANLEY KIERJCZYK— To Stanley, we proudly present this bottle of Jergen ' s lotion, so that his hands will be smooth and soft whenever he holds hands in the moonlight with a certain girl. STACIA KOSTEK— Stacia has proved to us that she is a secretary supreme: But in case you should make a mistake in your business career, here is a bottle of ink eradicator. However, we hope you don ' t have to resort to it too often. IRENE KRAULIS— We give our petite Rene these Adler Elevated Shoes. Now, when she goes dancing, these shoes will add height and a stately charm, and that six footer won ' t have to bend so far. JENNIE MAIEWSKI— For Jennie, our valedictorian, who has spent four years in perpetual study, we have this medal of honor. This medal certifies that you, Jen- nie, are sentenced to a life of leisure, and now that S. A. days are over, may you rest in everlasting peace. HELEN MICHALOWSKI— Helen is all set for the future, it seems. We know you ' ll make a very cute soda jerk, Helen, so we ' re going to prepare you, should an
