Class Will We, the class of February 1946 of Rhode Island State College and Providence Plan- tations, being of unsound mind and faulty memory, do publish and declare this our last will and testament (we sincerely hope), in such manner and form as fol- lows: With an understanding of the Pan-Hel- lenic headache, Carolyn Morgan Thomas leaves an aspirin and a glass of water to ner successors. Keeping in mind the next election for mayor, Helen Bardell leaves her skill in caricatures to Earl Corbishley. For continued success for W.A.A., Nancy Haslam leaves her hockey stick to Adelaide Richmond. As a faculty post-war dream, Thelma Ball Iran o leaves her snappy figure and clothes to Mary Klanian, a ’ model to the underclassmen. Ini emembrance of the younger genera- tion “Proud Aunt” Ruth Webster leaves her title to Elspeth Hart. To ease Professor MacCauley’s mind, Gloria Goodwin leaves her talent to Flor- enee Hetu. Marilyn Roberts Rickett will take over I lie children and swings at the corner for Eleanor Sandsea. That distinction of being the first mar- ried in the class is left by Muriel Skoog Sadler to Elizabeth Potter Wines. Let’s have a Rhody cheer, as Frances Stickley hands Anita Gamble that ”1. 2 3, let’s go.” Elizabeth Allard Lauderdale leaves her ASTP success to Pauline ' “Skip” Jewett. A gay personality and indescribable wit is bequeathed to Demetra Pliakas, Sr., by Doris Briden. Eleanor Newmarket 1 leaves her piano playing ability to Suzanne Thorn ley. Popular Dr. Loof hour row is shared by Janice Phinney with Hope Rryne. A picture of her handsome brother is If; It by Caroline Wilbar for the Rhody Hall of Fame. Pauline Warden leaves May Frances Olney a wisp of Larry’s mustache to re- member tliem by. Adele Goldberg bequeaths her enthus- iasm for sports to all the Freshmen. It seems inevitable that Marguerite Roll loaves institutional management for home management. That shiny Rhodyite cup is donated by Dorothy Klemer for the lucky winner. Competence, a noble virtue, is willed by Florence Sternback to Rosalind Hoyle. When asked, Florence Saravo consented to give her leather bound book ‘‘How to Love Accounting” to Dorothy Gray. Nothing usual could be done by Eugene Marble, he leaves nothing behind, but takes it all with him. As one engineer to another Alfred Pari donates to Pauline Bruno his reputation for brilliance. We aim to fill all needs, so Grace Stover gives up a few inches to Constance Child. Business Administration students, at tention ! Paula McQuaid leaves you Dr. Newman. The clothing shortage is relieved for the I’ hi Mu girls— Helen Aldrich leaves behind Thayer Wales’ jacket. Always an enthusiastic student — Beat- rice Hecker bequeaths this quality to Janet Spink. Waiter Rockwell will be pleased to hear that he has been selected to inherit Ralph Johnson’s manly build. The library is now complete, Bruce Fog- well has left “True Story of My Life” (an autographed copy). Just between two girls with talented mothers, Beverly Lightman leaves her tailor-made clothes to Marion Doherty. Barbara Warren retains her home plan- ning talents for Bob Gorman. Yours truly just leave. We hereby nominate and appoint. Carl E. Woodward, president of Rhode Island State College, to be executor, with a two- doll ar charge, of this our final will and testament : and we hereby tear into con- fetti all former wills and testamentary instruments. IN WITNESS THEREOF, we have signed our names and pressed our thumb this tenth day of February in the year of our Lord, One Thousand Nine Hundred and Forty-six. JEAN SALTER JANET KEEGAN 211 !

SPORTS PARADE Despite the decreased enrollment and the difficulties interfering with nor- mal athletic programs during the year, interest in sports has never lagged on our campus. Football and baseball were discontinued for two seasons, as they need abundant manpower, but basketball, track, cross-country, and intramural contests have kept our name alive on the sports pages of the East. During our class’ stay at Rhody, our teams have fought in Boston, Providence. New York, Philadelphia, and Buffalo . , . and at Cassino, Tarawa, Normandy, and Leyte ! Our victories are too numerous to detail here, but a resume of the sports calendar for 1945 will illustrate the caliber of Rhode Island men. Let their records stand side by side with the battle stars of our veterans, and let us pay homage to their achievements.
