SEMAPHORE 1944 CLASS WILL As a bright flame begins to flicker and an old flame begins to die, we, the members of the class of ' 44 leave joyfully, yet full of remorse, that which we neglected to make full use of, in our last will and testament. To the faculty we leave a record (good and bad) unsurpassed. To Mr. Randall we leave our sincere and heartfelt thanks. To the Juniors we leave a hope of brighter years to come. To the Sophomores we bequeath our ability to get things done the hard way. To ihe Freshmen, the little rascals, we leave a word of wisdom. Leave no stone unturned, leave nothing undone, and your life will be full of fun. To Miss Goeres we leave the echoes of two years of ringing voices. The football team leaves a record we hope will never be left again. ClifiE Fowler leaves to Mr. Knowles, Blondie Nelson as his right hand man. The prowess of class management is left by Bill McDonald to next year ' s for- tunate magistrate. To some unfortunate junior, Ruth Grant leaves the headaches of her job as Editor- in-chief of the Semaphore. Fanny Quill inherits the meat carving abilities of Joe Mara. Frankie Sellars leaves the dirt on the corridor floors. In a magnified manner Bill Howard will carry on Joe LeNy ' s tradition of humor. Anahid Sevian and Dot Kimtis leave the dirt, dust, books and information prob- lems of the library with their utmost sympathy to two unsuspecting sophomores. To someone with the nerve Bob Dray leaves the remnants of his orange necktie to be worn on St. Patrick ' s Day, only. Nick Mitchell leaves. Bob O ' Day bequeaths the worries of football to captain-elect Jack LaFrance. Franny Gushing leaves all he ever learned and then some in good old S. H. S The misunderstanding of Trig, is left by Joe De ' Vito to any unfortunate Junior who comes along. Laurie McLean inherits the inevitable talent for arguing from Munya Wisotsky. Kenny Davis leaves us puzzled. Pat Donahue, Shirley Cohenno and Virginia Johnson leave their worries of the office filed amid the dust and papers. To some poor Freshman wc wish Max Katz would leave his gaudy neckties. Gert Buschenfeldt leaves her shortness and cute smile to Marie Slye.
