As to our worldly estates, and all the property, real, personal, or mixed, of which we shall die seized, possessed or to which we shall be entitled at the time of our decease, we devise, bequeath, and dispose thereof, in the manner following, to wit: We, Barbara Borges and Grace Eisenhardt will our good looks to those who need them. (Please girls, don ' t push! The line forms to the rear.) I, Kathleen Goss, leave my laugh to Mary Murphy. I, Barbara Leonard, leave my ability to get my father ' s car to those unfortunate people who have to walk. I, George Langfield, leave my motor scooter to Mr. Kilgrew so he won ' t have to walk around the new Junior High School. I, Barbara Hathaway, leave my day-dreaming to the kids in the Shorthand classes. We, Olive Soares, Trudy Mendes, and Frances Cadorette, leave Mr. Kaylor to anyone who can enjoy him as much as we did. We, Louise Daghir and Natalie Soares, leave our harmonizing in Shorthand to any interested hill-billy. We, Finnegan, Sam, and Chick, leave our nicknames to the three Jim ' s on the football team. I, Ronny Panara, leave my souped-up jalopy to Bill Burgess. I, Jerry DeCosta, leave my unique running ability to anyone who needs maneuvering out of a difficult situation. I, Jo Prato, leave my nimble fingers to future squeeze-box players. I, John Charves, leave my weight to one of those half-pint freshmen. I, Bill Ginalski, leave my tennis-playing ability to my brother, Paul, for the day when he plays at Forest Hills. I, Maeleen Murphy, leave all my junk in my locker to the nearest trash can. I, Richard Bence, leave my nautical know-how to all aspiring sea dogs. I, Irene Valley, leave my prolixity to Margaret Burgess. We, Ginny Chorlton and Claudette Landry, leave our hot-shot argyles to anyone who has cold feet. I, Arthur Pereira, leave my voice to some future Mario Lanza. I, Jack Balaguer, leave my French accent to the coming parley vooers of Somerset High School. We, Anne Bergeron and Charles Cloutier, leave our positions as roving ambassadors to anyone who wants to get out of class. We, Janet Weeden and Estelle Cheney, should leave our naturally curly hair but we ' d feel funny without it. I, Tom Almy, leave my fascinating dimples to any swain that wants to win a girl. We, Joan Douthwright and Beverly Sullivan, leave our afternoon struggles with Genevieve to someone who appreciates music?? I, Marilyn Araujo, leave my partiality to redheads to anyone who wishes to pursue this hobby (but not this particular redhead). We, Donald Waring, George Cayer, George Cabral, Ernest Wood, Carl Slade, Tony Almeida, Jack Emmett, and Gerry Doucette, leave our reserved places at the corner of Luther and County Streets to anyone who has a cigarette.
