Being of sound mind and body we generously leave the follow- ing items: First, to our parents, our everlasting love, gratitude, and devotion. Second, to Mr. Garvey, our principal, our respect and appreciation for his guidance during these past four years. Third, to Mrs. Thompson and Mr. Brunton, our assistant principals, our appreciation for their unselfish and wise leadership. Fourth, to Miss O'Neil and Mr. Ross, our class advisors, our admiration and respect for their kind understanding guidance. Fifth, to the faculty, our sincere admira- ion and gratitude for having labored so duteously to try to make us, not only good students, but also good citizens. Sixth, to the Junior Class, our position of leadership at Trade High, with the hope that they will fill this role with dignity next year. Seventh, to the Sophomores, our scholas- tic, and all-around ability. Eighth, to the freshmen, our hopes and wishes that they, four years from now, will be in our shoes. The following items may seem trivial, but we hope that they will bring to mind fond memories of the Class of ‘61! Joseph Testori wills to Steve Ziemian one pair of worn shoes and one pencil and some yellow lined paper for notes, along with a book of excuses to get around lead- ing questions to Brian Daniels.

Charles Belden lezives. David Plante wills to Nick Colagionanni all his excuses for getting out of classes and shop. Regina Isham wills her best suit to any- one in her shop that thinks he can wear it. Richard Moskal wills his gym suit (that he hasn't used in three years) to any fresh- man who wants it.
