Page 12 THE SEMAPHORE Class Wi By Phyllis We, the members of the Class of 1933 of Stoughton High School, of the town of Stough- ton, in the County of Norfolk, and the Common- wealth of Massachusetts, being of sound mind, memor % and understanding, do make our last will and testament in manner and form follow- ing: First — We give, devise, and bequeath ail the papers under the bleachers to the under classmen, who will have the privilege of clean- ing them up next fall. Second — We give, devise, and bequeath all our examination papers to the members of the faculty, who may use them as the foundation for a Stoughton branch of the Museum of Fine Arts. Third — As individuals, the various members of the Class of 1933 give, devise, and bequeath certain of their belongings to favored under- classmen. Joseph O ' Brien gives, devises, and be- queaths his avoirdupois to little Johnny Quill, in the hope that he may make use of it. Wilhelmina Wade gives, devises, and be- queaths her history notes to Roy Beaton, who will be delighted to use them in his history- course next year. Frederick Hagelstein gives, devises, and bequeaths his skill in laboratory experiments to Chester Eliason, who will become known as his successor in the science classes. Russell Hampe gives, devises, and be- queaths the agriculture class implements to some potential farmer in the Junior class. Could it be Robert Dexter? Edwin Hansen gives, devises and bequeaths his elegant spats to Howard Franklin, his log- ical successor as the high school Romeo. Edward Ya.skum gives, devises, and be- queaths a bottle of muscle developer to as- pirants for next year ' s football team, and hopes they will not become as bruised as he did, in pursuing their athletic inclinations. Alfred Novick and Frances Leahy give, de- vise, and bequeath to artistic under-classmen the pleasure of printing the names on the honor roll certificates. They also leave a wish that the honor roll will increase rapidly next year. Katherine Connell and Bronie Yukon regret- fully leave their gym suits to the Freshmen, M. Adams who can use them in gym classes for the next three years. These girls hope that the Fresh- man girls will have the privilege of gym classes three times a week instead of twice. Thomas Caddell leaves next year ' s football captain a mop, so that he will be able to clean up the locker room every day. Fred Evans leaves his knowledge of the nursing profession to any one else who may be interested. Joseph Fennell and Lydia Martin leave their walks at recess to Dorothy Bird and James Pye, with sincere hope that they will enjoy the scenery around the high school. Clyde Boutilier leaves his privilege of lec- turing in Biology Class to some ambitious youth, who plans to study Biology next year. Anna Munkavich and Mary Smith leave many dust cloths for dusting the stock room to Helen Whiting and Lillian Gemme with the sincere hope that there will be e nough supplied to go around. Richard Sarrey gives, devises, and be- queaths his front seat in Biology Class to any- one else who may like to be at the front of a class all the time. Edward Zabrosky leaves his S to some deserving member of the scrub team. John McGarry and Lawrence McCarthy leave a stock of jokes for next year ' s managers to tell Mr. Maffeo in History class. Marshall Brickell bequeaths his great knowledge of animals to the Biology Depart- ment, so that no one will have to study them next year. Betty Halliden and Marion Brogren be- queath their frequent hikes to Barbara Holmes and Aina Carlson, who are filled with the de- sire to be marathon hikers. Leola Harding leaves the office to any one who wants it, with the stipulation that he or she must be physically able to run up and down stairs at least fifty times a day. Arthur Jasmin leaves his skill at dancing to Richard Drake, who will use it in coopera- tion with Betty Trowbridge. Philip McArdle leaves a gallon of ice cream to Bernard Jatul, who will use it while experi- menting in mixing up ice cream sodas at his father ' s drug store.

THE SEMAPHORE BARBARA DRAKE Bibs Barbara is voted the smallest girl in the class as well as the cutest. She makes up in ability for her lack of height and has great talent in the finer things of life — music and art. Undoubtedly Bibs is the best girl artist in the Senior class. Her drawings of babies are exceptionally clever. Bibs has enormous blue eyes with the longest lashes imaginable and you can just bet they are appreciated by not a few! She belongs to the Art Club and plays the violin in the orchestra. We ' re glad that she has decided to further her study of art next year at the Museum School of Fine Arts. JOHN CHENCUS Chain Chain is one of the boys who says nothing but seems to know an awful lot. Silence is golden you know. He is very mild and easy going — never have we seen him angry. This has brought him a great many friends who will hate to have him leave S. H. S. Chain doesn ' t seem to have become interested in many ac- tivities in school but has been busy with his musica studies outside. He is an ardent hunter and would rather be out in the open than at school. Who wouldn ' t? John has a very cute grin which makes his mouth quirk up at the corners. Watch it sometimes. He plans to continue on with his music after graduation. ALICE FLYNN Alice is a girl who always has a store of wit handy and ready to meet any emergency. This little Irish gal has a snappy comeback for every wisecrack. She is very pretty and has a nice complexion. Alice has been a lead- ing member of the French Club and has be- longed for three years. She is vei-y excitable and skittish. Some day some one is going to scare her to death she is that nervous. A very good student, she is one of the most able girls in the Commercial group and excels in shorthand. We all like Alice for she is just plain likeable — that ' s all. She doesn ' t quite know what she will do next year but we know that she will make some one a nice stenog- rapher. MARGARET F. MULKERN Peggy Peggy is a certain prominent athlete ' s sweet somebody. And can you blame him? Lis- ten — big blue eyes, a cute nose, and the darlingest smile — that ' s Peggy! Always nice to everybody, she has a host of friends and admirers. Her faint little voice is so ladylike that she drives certain teachers to exaspera- tion. She has found time to enter into many extra activities and has belonged to the Swas- tika A. A., the French Club, Hiking Club and the Glee Club. Besides all this she was man- ager of the girls ' field hockey team. Peggy will be a sweet little nurse in the near future as she plans to enter the Goddard Hospital Training School. HELEN SAVAGE Helen is the exact opposite of her name and is a sweet little girl who would never harm a soul. She has very expressive eyes of a curious tawny-green shade — topaz, if you will ! She always has a cheery greeting for everyone whether she is intimate with them or not and we think that is just lovely. Helen goes in for the social events of school life in a big way and is seen at the meetings of quite a few clubs. Some of them are the Glee, French, Latin and Home Economics clubs. Helen likes her course so well that she is planning to attend some business school although she has not decided which one it shall be as yet. MILDRED HANSEN Millie Millie is tall and very blonde. She is very musical and has a pleasant singing voice which does credit to the soprano section of the Senior music classes. That is probably why she has been such a prominent member of the Glee Club. Millie is very good looking and once served as a model in a style show. She likes to keep tabs on that flyaway brother of hers (as well she might) but we ' re afraid Rudy doesn ' t care for it very much. Millie excels in U. S. History and always has a pile of notes on what she is going to say. She plans to go to a school for Beauty Culture. Lots of luck! DORIS L. BURT Dot Dearest little Dot, a naturally quiet girl, sometimes flares up at someone and says very viciously, I want lined paper! These out- bursts come only when she is particularly persecuted and we don ' t blame her in the least. Perhaps her red hair has something to do with it. Dot is an honor student and works hard to get her good marks. She has that translucent complexion that sometimes goes with red-gold hair but is very modest about her good looks. Dot is going to make a lovely nurse and is to train at the Goddard Hospital in Brockton. We will miss Dot but will be con- soled by the fact that she is giving her life or part of it for a good cause. WILHELMENA WADE Wilhj Willy is one of the most interesting girls in the class. Always ready to laugh at a good joke, she sometimes drives the teachers crazy. That is only her natural spirits coming forth for she is irrepressible! Willy is proud of the (Con ' Jnued on Page 30)
