I, Betty Ann Dressman, bequeath to Ann Dressman-my position as Assistant Editor of Ros Maris - may she restore the Dressman reputation wherever I have failed it: to Jeanne Claire Vehr-the pleasure of being Chair- man of the Catholic Literature Committee and President of Gamma Ray, pro- vided that she learn to separate these honors from the trembling voice which al- ways accompanied them for me when the day of the meeting arrived: to Jean Vogelsang-reluctantly, the three and a half square inches which constituted my seat on the green bus each afternoon, with the stipulation that she occupy this space only on the end of the seat closest to the aisle and never trip the de- parting students as they climb over her feet. I, Paulina Glenn, give to Marthe Sue Henslee-whole-heartedly and sig- nificantly, my ability suddenly to change my study-hours from recreational centers into cases of intense study and deep contemplation-may her friends be less dazed by the transformation than mine were: to Pat Spille, I sadly relin- quish my good, old, faithful bathing cap which has served its purpose fairly well during these past four years. Though it may have a tear or two in it, she cannot afford to forget that it is pure rubber-and, need I explain? To Mary Ellen Groeschen--my place in the very iirst row in the Glee Club, where I sincerely hope that she will be more helpful in carrying the tune than I ever was: to Mar- garet Bimel-my old, yet interesting fifth-hand French book, hoping that when she takes up the study of the French tongue, she will not find the text too faded from the brilliance of the many eyes that once scanned its passages: to June Hazel -my ardent love for participating in assembly programs with the concomitant enjoyment of having her knees tremble even more than her paper. I, Rosemary Holman, will to Virginia McDaniel-my ability in usually keeping abreast of spelling lists: to Mary Catherine Rabe, my desk in the second floor study hall-may she get as much use out of it as I did: to Ann Middendorf -my seat on the bus in the morning so that she may enjoy the privilege of selection accorded to early arrivals: to Alice Murray-the pleasure which I had in taking snapshots of my underclassmen for the Annual-may she prove more practical in her ideas. I, Mary Leah Nicholson. give to Marynell Wachs-locker No. 29 and the privilege of being the only day-pupil to share a locker with a boarder: to Ruth Scheper-my faithful alarm clock which has served me so well in my four years at the Villa. I hereby caution her, however, that it always failed to go off at the correct time: to Joan Plunkett-my position as Chairman of the Senior Defense Council in the Victory Corps--may it next year be called the Peace Council: to Pauline Nolan-most regretfully, the remains of my English note book, which has demanded hours of toil in rewriting papers for it during these four years.

I, Kathleen Donahue, relinquish to Joella Schmidt--my desk in Room I. including a can of oil for the squeaks: to Donna Spille-my privilege of going home on week ends-may she enjoy them twice as much as I: to Aida Valerio- my ardent love for basket-ball, and also for the ones who keep it as it is: to Anne Byrne Harwood-the success of keeping her spelling book up to date and the supplementary books free from fines.
