’45 11 CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of 1945, knowing that our days in Sut- ton High School are at an end, being of sound mind and body, do declare this to be our last will and testament. To Mr. Morris, we will a secretary to take charge of all his papers, and some new fingernails in place of the ones he chewed off at the basketball tournament. To Mr. Butler, we bequeath a new hat in place of the one somebody sat on at the basketball game, and a horsewhip to keep the unruly Sophomore boys in hand. To Mr. Schwab, we leave a constant supply of “White Owls,” and a giant dictionary to “amuse” the pupils that he keeps after school. To Miss Mulcahy, we bequeath another English class who will understand more about “L’Allegro” and “II Penseroso” than we did, and a little cart to carry her books to and from school. To Miss Donnelly, we will another Senior play and hot dogs at the “Dog House,” also, a private detective to find the things she’s always losing. To the Juniors, we leave Mazzini, Cavour, and Garibaldi from our modern European history, and our knowledge of English poets. To the Sophomores, we bequeath our “open minds” which tend to see “both sides of the issue.” To the Freshmen, we leave our ability to laugh at trouble during the rest of their school years, and some absorbers to stand the shocks they will receive. I, Kermit Bickford, will my bright blue suspenders to Do- lores Stopyra, and my dancing ability to George Aspinwall. I, John Conway, will my ability to demand my constitutional rights to Albert Chamberlain, and my jolly disposition to Mr. Schwab. I, Barbara Crosby, will my shyness to Dick Plante, and my size five shoes to Ann Stockwell. I, Rita Decoteau, will my height to Andrew Zuidema, and my pestering ability to Adelle Smith. I, Jennie Fedorczuk, will my dimples to Channing Smith, and my ability to knit sweaters to Helen Horne.

While there, we visited among other places : the Statue of Liberty, the Chrysler War Exhibit, Rocke- feller Center, the Empire State Building, the Metropolitan Mu- seum of Art, Saint Patrick’s Cathedral, Radio City Music Hall, the National Broadcasting Company, and La Guardia Field. We also saw the ice show, “Hats Off To Ice.”
