BLUE AND WHITE 15 CLASS WILL Margaret E. Bodette, ’36 We, the class of 1936, being of partially sound and disposing mind, memory, and understanding, hereby make and publish this instrument as our last will and testament. I, John Carroll Ball, do hereby will and bequeath to Arnold Parker my favorite essay on “How To Get Along With Women.” Remember Arnold, “A woman is only a woman, but a good cigar is a smoke!” I, Kenneth Carroll Barney, do hereby will and bequeath to Kenneth Sullivan my track ability. See that you run east and west Pansy, not up and down. I, Maynard Oliver Barrows, do hereby will and bequeath to Arnold Sullivan my latest model in milk trucks. You know the old saying “A rolling truck gathers no moss”! You’d be surprised the way this truck can cover the ground from Vergennes to Lakeside Boulevard! I, Kathleen Grace Belden, do hereby will and bequeath to Elaine Pratt my ability to cook You know Elaine, “You can find the way to a man’s heart through his stomach.” These hard working “Miners” are hearty eating men. I, Margaret Evelyn Booth, do hereby will and bequeath to Lee Fiske my ability to dance, and especially that new “Colgate Tap.” Now, Lee, if you have any difficulty in picking up those number “12’s” of yours—just call on me, •and if I can’t help you. well, I guess no one can. I, Bette Ruth Bristol, do hereby will and bequeath to Robert Elliott my sweet smile—A smile to go with those ■dimples—“You little dimpled darling”! I, Norma Alberta Bristol, do hereby will and bequeath to Jeannette Graves my one and only “heart throb.” Worry no more, Jan! I, Pauline Thelma Burgey, do hereby will and bequeath to Elaine Hamel my height. “Beauty runs high,” Elaine. Capture a tall young man and with the power of miracles plus a ladder you will some day reach his height. T. Myrtle Alice Burt, do hereby will and bequeath to “Little Sammie” Jack-man my ability to chew gum. When your tongue is dying to go. “Sammie,” see if maybe your jaws can’t defeat it. The rhythm for dry subjects like Ancient History is 1+24-3+4—for more peppy subjects like Chemistry and Physics it is 1234. I. Susie Mabel Carpenter, do hereby will and bequeath to Eleanor Langeway my strength to stand up under the strain of so many dances in Bridport and points west. This might come in handy for all these Fraternity dances— I mean “Frat” dances. I, Beatrice Joan Casey, do hereby will and bequeath to Mary Gage my ability to control and reform strong, tall dark ’n handsome “he-men.” Now Mary, there’s no reason why one Irish smile isn’t as good as another and, you made a pretty good start New Year’s Eve. Of course your heart throb isn’t as tall as mine—he’s sort of a “Runt.” I, Beatrice Millicent Cook, do hereby will and bequeath to Alma Barrows my school girl complexion. I think it will save your father money, Alma—and then too, you must beware of that so called “Cosmetic Skin.” I, Clinton Garland Douglas, do hereby will and bequeath to Clarence Stagg my ability to conceal from the entire student body and faculty the effects of the morning after the night before!” I, Vincent Hilton Forrest, do hereby will and bequeath to Warren Flagg my wonderful build. Eat your spinach every day, Biddy—and you’ll soon be a big man just like your “Uncle Hilton!”

14 VERGENNES HIGH SCHOOL Class Day and are looking forward to the Alumni Banquet and Ball this evening. After tonight we will be once more together and then will come the launching of each individual ship on the Waters of Life. This is our ship’s log and we hope that by its record the happy memories of our brief voyage together may remain with us forever. Tomorrow night we launch—captains of our own ships! Where shall we anchor?

I, Bernice Carlene Hurlburt, do hereby will and bequeath to Lawrence Austin my lovely hands—I advise you to use Lux to avoid “dishpany hands.” “His suit shouted Fishman’s but his hands shouted dishpan!” I, Florence Anna Husk, do hereby will and bequeath to Violet Manchester my quiet and demure manner. The animals on the farm are very sensitive to harsh sounds, so please Vi. the soft pedal once in a while? I, Mary Evelyn Husk, do hereby will and bequeath to Donnie O’Donnell my ability to attain all “A’s.” “A’s” to replace those “F’s.” Cheer up, Donnie, you know the old saying—“The older you grow, the more you know.” Four more years and you’ll be graduating with honors.
