,i PAGE4 THE SPIRIT OF TOWLE Loui Bonaccorsi wills his capacity as business manager for affairs connected with both the senior class and the Cheney Street Gang to Francis Edes. To do as well as Loui did you'll need a truck, Francis. Merton Sayles, the Gum Drop Eating Romeo, leaves his love of the dramatic and also the humorous to Barbara Hyatt. You've proved, Barbara, that you can follow in the dramatic parts, now for the humorous. Yvonne Roy surrenders her French accent and looks to Yvonne Proulx. May you never mimic Simone Simon! Gladys Howand wills her winning smile and laughing brown eyes to Jean Plumeridge. Jean, however, seems to win friends through her own attractiveness. To Albert Sharps, Karl Peterson's position on the other side of .the fence in arguments that the seniors are noted for. George Hamilton gives his song, You're My One And Only to Alex Kischitz. Perhaps, Alex, i't will relieve you of all your former troubles if you sing' it real often. Cynthia Fryer wills her love of cream-colored trucks to Audrey Cummings. We'll admit, Cynthia, there is something about a creamery. Richard Winn bequeat-hs his deep voice which never seems to lose its volume to Charles Brown, who is already following Dick's example.

Robert Hayward wills his hidden surplus of speed to next year's track team in hopes that they will be able to find and use it. Philip Hackwell bequeaths his appreciation of good Reed-ing, including Vfiotofrikr,-n masterpieces, to Ashton Pike. Do you suppose you'll find Phil's Esquire styles in your reading, Ashton?

She be- queaths her song, Love Thy Neighbor to Betty Jordan. Janet Muzzey leaves her ability to be in two places at once during hockey season to Eva Paris. There's a knack to it, Eva. Lyman Miller wills his desire but disability to republicanize centain Towle students to Margaret Fairbanks. Perhaps, Margaret, you can carry on Lyman's campaign. To Nathalie Spaulding, Donald Conroy's pieces of glass kept as souvenirs for the bills he's paid for broken glasses. Perhaps, Nat, they'll remind you to keep track of yours. , P George Maxham bequeaths his qualifications for employment in the Sunapee Information Booth to Arlene Turk. Bill's special qualities are 'his gift of talk and knowledge of the Sunapee Lake region. Johnnie Sing bequeaths his tbilities in va- rious fields including those covered in golf tours, to Nicky Kischitz. A warning, Nicky, is to stay away from dime-dancing if you ever go to the Big City. Evelyn Warmer leaves her knowledge of alge- braic formulas which she is yet to apply in connection with calories, to Pearl Newton. We don't blame you for not trying it, Evelyn 5 algebra's just one problem after another. WE know. To Robert Winn, Frank Beauchaine's Love of school vacations, especially when hunting and fishing seasons are at their heights. Are there any other reasons, Frank? Walter Gintowt wills his ability to get the Mcwcham-um of speed out of his one hundred yard-dashes and his Taylor-ed strides between hurdles to John Brill. Did. I omit any girls who are interested in track? Arthur Brault wills his strong heart, developed through that strenuous exercise, Rowe-ing, to Ottie Flint. Ought he?

9' ' THE SPIRIT OF TOWLE PAGE3 Last Will and Testament of the Class of I937 Be it known that the Class of '37, having reached the dignity of elevated seniors, after climbing the long and strenuous path to wisdom, do on this day of June 12, 1937, before the Supreme Court of this nation and all other powerful dignitaries -declre, specify and state t-his will to be our first, last and only testament. To the Juniors We leave our love of windows that never break, games that are never lost- and business enter- prises that never fail. To the Sophomores: All improvements that our class has acquired in four years of patient striving. To the Freshmmz: We want the Freshmen 'to replace us in the eyes .of the townspeople as the modern younger generation. To the Faculty: The cooperation we have always tried to de- velop to its fullest extent. To the Schoolboafrd: The excellent blue prints for our phantom gym. Guy Dodge wills Joe Kawzowicz his chemistry knowledge and discovery that chemists were wrong when they said girls contained little sugar. Guy ought to know. To Lucille Hall, Dorothy Osborne's tickets to all points south. You -do agree don't you, Dot, that Boston is most- interesting? The talent to appear from nowhere and hit hard on the grid-iron is bequeathed by Bill Douglass to Roland Hall. Just dontt slay them, Roland. It is hoped that Erkki Mackey will accept David Chase's extra inches of height. Dave's found they give the heart more room to expand. VVhile Esther Cutting renders Herbert Smith 'the line that's what love is all about, Audrey Ellingwood, who is inclined to wonder about it, adds the song, Heaven Help This Heart of Mine. Leon Emerson designates that Andrew Koski should adopt the ability to do both farm and school work. Our class knows that Leon does both. The treasurer of Towle's Richest Class, Robert Hurd, forfeits his Ford to Jimmy Dur- rance. Bob's too honest to register his car with the class money. To Herbert Brooks, Francis Hewson's desire to conquer his self-consciousness and sul:-:lue his laughter. Francis just isn't a conquerer. Willena Hastings wills Frances Metcalf her skill at driving Model Ts and Streamlined Streaks , and Richard Smith adds his love of just riding around. The Class of '38 will never need to debate on where they will have their class picnic as Miriam Vaughan bequeaths her surplus of individuality. W'ith the closing of school, Lucius Nichols departs from his Economical romance. You may have ift, Waterman. All you need to do, Ray, is to be at school noon-hours and know the answers. Aili Peltonen bequeaths her realms 'and realms of poetry to Dorothy Daimont. Remem- ber, Dot, just the poetry, not her artist's appear- ance. The concentrative powers of our class are cen- tered in John Stubbe, the city boy who made good in the country. John leaves the custody of his powers to Richard Dent, as Dick already has the look of a deep thinker. Richard Purmort loans Peter Anastos a pair of his long trousers. You may grow up yet, Peter. Dick, you may remember was a .long time at it, but he did it. Domestic Arts has the study of Wood -work especially for Ruth Wi1lette's sake. Next year Ruth will let Frances Kennedy carry on if she's interested. Speaking of wood, Walter Cher- nouski is forsaking his aptness at setting up pins to Eino Kosenen. May you miss as many bowling balls as Walter has had to. I The prize Economics notebook, which incideht- ly is Harlow Nelson's, our class wishes to present to Margaret Maley. It is our hope that you possess a. filing system. Harlow doesn't. Upon Gail Anderson, Muriel Bell bestows her lack of agricultural knowledge. Do you know on what cherries grow, Gail? Muriel never heard about VVashington and his little hatchet until the Senior Play. To Julia Edes, Catherine Lacey's brilliant makeup which she Arthur-ized. You know, Art for Art's Sake.

To next yearis driving class, Bent-ha Antilla wills her Baby Austin to be used as a demonstrator. Merle Leonard bestows his automobile upon Edward Smith. I't's to be used as the Towle Diner if Edward. will accept it and promise to :furnish recreation and food. To Jimmy Flanagan, Phil Lees leaves his ability to ily off the handle. Are we wrong, Phil ? We may be thinking of you flying down one mile tracks. Amelia Peters wills -her taxi service to school to Rowena Marcus. We'll assure you, Rowena, that it's quicker than bicycling. Walter Piotrowski forfeits our school motto Honesty, Industry, Courtesy, and Cooperation to James Houghton. May Jimmy teach it to as many pupils as Duffy has. To Frank Cram, Phyllis Newt.on's dancing technique. Frank at least strives to represent the three lower classes on the cornmeal-covered floor of the Chellis Auditorium. June Brill, the senior class' only aristocratic vagabond, wills her desire to be in Newport when Winter's here to Charlotte Reed. John Wood bequeaths his famous apple pies to the Mansfield, Wirkkala, Haggart threesome who certainly know how to make food disappear. Walter Wirkkala extends his greeting How- do to Curtis Chase, who says Hi and waves that good looking hat of his. Josephine Smith surrenders her honest excuse I don't know 'to Helen Hardy, who will probably be like our class has been-at a loss for wordes in history class. John Snape wills his legible handwriting in original essays and other papers to Winifred Kennedy. Truthfully, Winnie, it's as easy to read as typewritten manuscripts are. Janet Pitraszkiewicz bequeaths her trim ap- pearance which she owes partially to Peterson's Dress Shop to Rita Carr. Rita has a..fla.ir for red patches. Gertrude Willette wills her desine to balance- mentally the unbalanced to any girl who can stand the nervous strain that accompanies such -.-r?.L.' a vocation.

Richard Jordan, the boy who came back to keep the class spirits up, wills his familiarity of Bel- knap Avenue to Arvo Saarniioki. Arvo, however, seems to find his way about Newport without assistance. ELEANOR GOULD. Whereunto we affix our hand and seal this twelfth -day of June, nineteen hundred and thirty-seven. In copy and witness attest ARVO SAARNIJ OKI, who hasn't read it. ERKKI MACKEY, who doesn't want to. CURTIS CHASE, who doesn't care. Ode To Horace Mann Afili Peltonen Moonlit shadows shifted by the slumbering trees, W averecl o'cr each traveler in the gentle breeze, As lo! his eye befell upon the marble white, Of ethereal being enhanced by earthly light, Enthralled by more than earthly hand, Marbleg-softly sculptured marble,-statue of Horace Mann. Stnunch, steadfast statue of stone, Whose pattern stands for one alone, One, whose word brought education,- To high as well as low born of the nation,- An inspiration,-molding ideals into realistic dreams, Efficient education's prophet,-Horace Mann. Statue-marble white-gleaming in earthly light, 'Neath whispering willow winds of night, Hide not your code of life behind a mortal's mask! Proclaim purity-purity of mind, of speech, of soul. Voice virtue-virtue to be a steadfast foe of vice. Champion of purity and virtue-Horace Mann. Upon .the carved celestial brow Of this symbolic statue,-a. laurel lay- To crown the father of our common school. Drinker from enticing education's pool, Grasp the cup of learning, Held out by one who felt a thirst fierce burning-
