21. Paul Bates leaves all of his corny jokes for the teachers to think over. 22. We leave to Mr. Thomas of Machine Shop all the girls on the third floor so that he will have enough dancing partners for next year’s dance class. 23. Lois Dodge and Lucy Frutuoza leave hopes that there will be enough food for the classes at second lunch. They also leave a third lunch for the “Chow- Hounds”’. 24. Howard Koch leaves to Mr. Mack a straight jacket to use on Bill “Keystone” Moyer. Now you can try to keep him in the room, Mr. Mack!! 25. Joe Veteramo leaves his drafting table near the window to John “Lover” Barney, so that he can gaze at all the girls during second lunch. 26. Joseph Adams and Roland Savoie leave their ability to skip classes to Ronald Lake and John Markowiec. Go to it, boys—but watch your step—Joe and Roland got caught. 27. Bill Scholes leaves to any member of the junior class, all his rackets in hopes that he or she may get more enjoyment out of their Senior year at Trade High. 28. To Miss Tarr, the necktie rooter, we leave thirteen illuminated neckties to pass out to the lucky juniors who prefer to be sporty rather than to sport a tie. For display purposes Leodore Phaneuf, Herbert Sturm and Elio Viecelli leave a pre- fabricated tie rack so that said ties may be displayed for instructional purposes. 29. Nick Slepchuck leaves to Ted Plumb’s next year’s football squad, one hun- dred thirty-five pounds of dynamite and muscle, Leon Kalesnick. 30. Katherine Streeter leaves to Connie Windrum her books entitled “How to Get Married, in Three Easy Lessons”’. 31. To Mr. Harry Cramer, his faithful seniors will him a non-breakable table to accompany his light weight sledge hammer in order that he may keep his sleeping juniors awake during the intricacies of integral calculus. 32. Beauty Culture leaves to Miss Bransfield all the empty Toni kits which the class has used. Also the convincing arguments which accompanied the use of them. 33. To the most talkative member of the junior class, Johnny Dalzova, Dolores Tergliafero leaves her ability to talk about anything, nothing or something. He doesn’t need it, but he’ll use it anyway, and it will help his line. 34. In order that every member of the Beauty Culture, Medical and Dental Assisting classes may have spotless and the whitest of white shoes, Ray LaBonte, Odbur Newth, and Paul Bannon, the mastermind inventors, leave their automatic slot machine perfumed shoe whitener. No auto boys allowed. 35. Annie Bell Sharpe leaves a new sign to take the place of the words of wisdom which have encouraged the Power Machine girls so many years. They have modern- ized the sign, “A Good Worker Like a Good Pair of Scissors Shuts Up When She Is Working” to read “Button Your Lip”. 36. Hazel Crow] leaves boxing gloves with magnetized thumbs to Joyce Gonyea for the purpose of picking up pins in Miss Mezzacappa’s class. 37. Jeannette Benoit, realizing that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, leaves her ability to make cookies and fudge to any girl who believes in this theory. 38. Bill Mumford leaves his own short wave T. V. set to all the traffic officers who are stationed at lonely spots in the corridors. 39. Bob Rowland leaves to bashful Robert Vevier all the telephone numbers which he accumulated during his corridor sessions behind his little desk in the corner. 40. To Bill Truesdell, junior racketeer, we leave the knack of knowing. what is going to happen before it happens so he can be there when it happens. 41. To Morton Downey who hums all day and far into the night “A Lovely Bunch of Coconuts”—yes—we leave him a bunch of coconuts. 42. To Mr. Plumb, the proud owner of a new 1949 station wagon, we make a valuable bequest. Since we know that this car must last him another century, we leave him a waterproof plastic tent complete with burglar alarm. 43. Walter James leaves six ounces of his excess weight to Charlie Barber. Charlie may not need it, but Walter wants him to have it. 44. The following couple leaves together: Hazel Crowl and Bill Scholes. 45. Finally, the Seniors would like to leave their dreams of what might be to the Juniors: longer gym periods; shorter class periods; a coffee hour every morning at ten; refreshments to be served at all Senior Class meetings; full length mirrors in all third floor corridors for the girls; free newspapers with a period for their reading; a contract with Miss Mazzucelli to furnish custom tailored dress suits to Seniors for next year’s prom, complete with non-bulging shirts, wrinkle-proof trousers, non- skid shoes and correctly folded handkerchiefs for all the well-dressed Juniors. Also ten free lessons on how to get enough to eat at the Senior Class Banquet. 46. In witness hereof, we subscribe our name, affix our seal, and swear this to be our last will and testament on the fifteenth day of June, in the year of our Lord, One Thousand Nine Hundred and Fifty. THE SENIOR CLAss OF TRADE HIGH. ie

class will We, the class of 1950, residing at Trade High School in the county of Hampden and the State of Massachusetts, being of sound mind and body and disposing memory do make, ordain, and publish this to be our last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills and codicils by us made. 1. To Mr. Garvey, our new principal, we have the honor of being the first class to graduate under his guidance. To him we leave our deepest gratitude for all the encouragement and help given to us during the school year. To Mrs. Ells we leave our thanks for her untiring efforts and constant help in all our school activities. 2. To our patient and long suffering advisers, we leave an all expense, prepaid trip to the most remote regions of Siberia. Here they can make a normal recovery from their nervous breakdown caused by a year of close association with the class of 1950. McLaughlin from Electric Shop leaves them his newly invented sun lamp along with a can of electricity. He guarantees warmth and a sunburn within a quarter of a second. Hazel Crow] donates two coats made from electric blankets complete with a thermostat. How about another can of electricity, McLaughlin? Hervey Daigle from Print has arranged to have the Craftsman, with all the latest gossip of the class of ’51, flown to them by carrier pigeon. 3. The Bakery boys leave their caps to the Millinery girls in order that they may be remodeled for next year’s bakers. A few feathers and flowers are suggested for the decorative effect. 4. To the future girls of Mrs. Eastman’s typing classes, we leave squeakless desk drawers. We don’t want them to be caught opening said drawers . 5. To Mr. Plaus we leave a pair of spiked shoes which we hope he will use to good advantage in the next student-faculty softball game. 6. We leave to Sam D’Angelo and June Augustina the lovers’ lane trampled by Carl Standen and Barbara Pfisterer. 7. To Mr. Wougick we leave two batons constructed of rubber which will not crack, chip, or break; and for his trumpet, a portable stand. We feel that he needs all these articles for the direction of the band. 8. Roger Bergeron leaves his skill and ability to get up and stay on the third floor to the “Sheet Metal Romeos”, Lou Jarvis and Larry Sweetmen. 9. To Mr. Harry Cramer we leave a rubber block. He can bang all he wants on this without awakening the sleeping beauties of his future senior classes. 10. To Mrs. Simes we leave a self-running piano, so that she can have an ac- companist and at the same time direct the glee club. 11. George Starr leaves his band uniform to Arthur Augusto in order that next year he will be the answer to what the well dressed man in uniform will wear. Along with his uniform goes George’s private formula for tooth paste. We don’t want his beautiful smile and flashing teeth to be lost ‘to the band. 12. The Senior Class leaves to the junior athletes, a genuine beaver diet con- sisting of vitamin B wood and an injection of jet propulsion so that they will win all their games. 13. Leo Lemoine leaves his pre-school hours, seven to eight, to another morn- ing glory, Larry Sweetman. This time is to be spent in Mrs. Ells’ office for doing deeds not mentionable. 14. To Mr. Hesse, who wouldn’t part with his super-deluxe 1938 Hudson for even a 1951 Cadillac, we leave a few minor items to help keep his car on four wheels; a roll of scotch tape to secure the engine in place, a bottle of cabinet shop’s perfumed fish glue to keep all the parts together; for the repairs of his upholstery we leave him a needle and thread and four yards of red and white striped awning cloth; from the radio shop there is a radar set to give him advance warning of ap- proaching danger, “The Trade Women Drivers”. In conclusion, we think we should leave him a new car. 15. To Mr. Vyska, we leave a peach basket which ought to improve his fielding when he stars on the faculty baseball team. 16. Leo Deslauriers leaves to Mrs. Ells, a typed list of the telephone numbers of all the band members, so that with her help they will arrive on time for school. 17. The soccer team leaves to Mr. McGibney a winning team for next year 5a also the opposing teams’ scores. 18. Barbara King leaves to all the sweethearts of the Junior Class a sign to put on the third tree in front of the school which will read “The Matrimonial Bureau Where True Love Meets. Hours 7:30 to 8:00 o’clock before school”. This will keep the location sacred for all future Trade High matrimonial possibilities. 19. Albert Allen wills his green shirt to anyone who can catch him without it. All of his shocks in Electric Shop are to become the property of Charlie Barber. 20. Irene Walker leaves her many activities to anyone who needs an excuse to get out of class.
