.East CDW! and ,czestament 1 SE, the undersigned, the Class of ,4S of Saint Barnabas High School, being sound of mind, do hereby make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament.

delighted with their twin seats -although Jane Redmond remained complete- ly forgotten in an isolated part of the room. Through all hardships, overcoming all obstacles, we gained entrance to the Senior room. Ah! Seniors at last-with Senior hats, Senior rings and special Senior privi- leges to make it a certainty. We also acquired, under the guidance of our two Senior teachers, a new and easy Senior Dignityf' For all of us, our last year has been the happiest and most eventful. The pranks we played, the subjects we studied, the friendships we formed were best of all. Four years of school life in Saint Barnabas have resulted in the formation of lasting friendships, like those of Alice Fitzsimmons and Marie Breheny-that inseparable pair, of Joan Daly and Therese Moran, our Class Joysvg and of Bernice Cipriani and Virginia Lane. At last we had our very own Tea Dance and Senior Prom, and were the honor- ablesi' at the Junior-Senior Luncheon. We shall always remember our last year for many things-for the ardent devotion Dorothy Emanuel showered upon Frank Sinatra, that Catherine Meehan lavished upon Bing Crosbyg for the laughs with which Lucille Friedly provided us, when she slowly rose from some raptur- ous dream to answer Sister's questions. As the day of graduation draws slowly nearer, our history becomes almost complete. Our separation in June will leave us with warm and tender memories of the girls, the school, the Sisters that we have learned to love so well. But there is one link that is yet missing from the strong chain of daily occurrences that have bound our lives so closely together. Only when we, the class of nine- teen hundred forty-five, after seeking and Hnding our different paths in life, meet once again in the court of Heaven will our class be complete. For then, with Christ as our Eternal Teacher, we shall be reunited-forever! HELEN KENNEY, HELEN O,SHEA. 117
