Class Will of 1942 We, the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Forty-two, of Saint Thomas High School, located at Frazier Street, Braddock, City of Pittsburgh, and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, being of sound mind and body, do hereby swear and affirm this to be our last will and testament, revoking and declaring all others made heretofore null and void. We hereby make the following requests: To our pastors, we leave our highest regard and deepest gratitude for their diligent efforts to prepare us for our voyage through the vice infested waters of a topsy-turvy world. 1 o the Juniors, we, the Senior Class, leave our profound dignity and the seats in our beloved classroom. Tommy Dalton, the Sergeant York of St. Thomas, leaves his spirit of adventure to Timothy Downing. To Ellen Walsh goes Dorothy O’Donnell's long black tresses. William Slaminko, Robert Donnelly, and George Kramer pass their thirst for knowledge to Pat McDonough, Joe Brozda, and Edwin Ashoff. Richard Dowd and Joe Repko leave their Pepsodent smiles to Jack Welsh and Jimmy Laughery. The Senior members of the Omega Sigma Chi Sorority bestow their organization abilities and realization of pleasant activities to their sorority sisters. Mary Faith Maguire, Margaret Miller, Mary Louise Naughton, Katherine Kausler and Virginia Limbacher bequeath their respected places as dignified Seniors to five of the most lady like Junior girls. From the seven senior girls of St. William's Parish goes the power to mingle so successfully with other seniors. Mary Louise Costello, Patricia Scuffle and Eileen Dawson, in parting. leave their splendid basketball ability to their teammates. John Andreas, John Gribben and Eugene Devine leave their well groomed appearance to William Spirk, James McCue and Robert Tierney. Pat Crowley and Mary Cloonan leave their quiet ways to Margaret Crncevich and Dorothy Murray. Marie Langan leaves her sweet Irish ways to Marianne Faust. Pete White bestows his eagerness to graduate to Merle Baker. Marjorie Kramer, Helen Lucas, Anna Callaghan and the Dcrrig Twins leave their long lasting friendship to Marion Miller and Peggy O’Keefe. In witness whereof, we, the c lass of nineteen hundred and forty-two, the testators, set our hand and seal unto this document, this seventh day of June, in the year first above written. We appoint the class of ’43 the sole executors of this, our last will and testament. Witnesses: Class of ’42 The Juniors
