I, Angela Jacobs, leave to Virginia Anne McCormack-my pink clover cologne to be used only in the Senior House: to Jean Berger-my ability to run into some one I know every time I leave school: to Helen Wagner-my duties as a stepladder, provided she will grow several inches before next year: to Jean Hammersmith--my athletic ability, hoping she will receive as much pleasure from it as I did. I, Norma Muccino, resign to Dolores Ballman-my front seat in the taxi going home on Fridays, provided that she alternates each week with some other girl: to Mary Dell Kammer--my beloved bathing suit, practically White from the usage of four years: to Ann Moser-mon petit calendrier, only on condition that she cross out each day until the last day of school: to Loretta Sullivan-my own private and cherished blue and white room in the Senior House when she becomes a Senior. I, Dorothy Muething, bequeath to Rosemarie Conway-my position as Prefect of the Sodality, provided that her fellow students approve, next year, my selection: to Rose Marie Quaing--my dilapidated red and black hat, just as it is, all tattered and worn, which has served me well for three years: to Margie Schneider-my blessing and prayer, that when she embarks upon the study of a new language, i. e., French, she will find pronunciations easier than I found them: to Rita Jegley-my ability to remain indifferent to the morning chatter about me on the bus, especially when there is something I must prepare for a morning class-this being true almost every morning: to Rosemary Kues- my big and baggy gym suit, which I inherited from my sister, who graduated a full ten years ago-may she always respect it as an heirloom: with it goes one ill-fitting gym skirt of a paler shade of green. I, Pauline Rice, impart to Helen Woods-my most ardent desire to wear my hair shoulder length and keep it in place instead of constantly in my eyes, my skill and enjoyment in driving a car up and down any long drive-way: to Jeanne Reese-my duty of collecting pennies-may she never have visions of pennies dancing through her head: to Rosemary Grote-my most cherished pastime, the long bus ride in the afternoon, provided she use the time to her ad- vantage and not idly talking to the rest of the students: to Joan Siemer-my seven study periods, provided she follow my example in employing well the golden hours. I, Sara Silva, leave to Jo Ann Price-my beloved bath robe which has served me faithfully for my nine years at the Villa: to Irene Bertke-my position as Chairman of Our Lady's Committee, provided she can improve on my persuasive talks for better attendance at Rosary: to LaVerne Krebs-my dear gym suit, hoping that it fits her better than it fit me: to Sheila Plun- kett-my oflice as Class Treasurer, and may she have better success in collecting dues than I had.

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, Patricia Steiber, bequeath to Nancy O'Connell-my ardent love for playing the piano in the rec, or any other piano available--may her class- mates show their appreciation for her talent by refraining from running the phonograph while she plays: to Joan Martin-my claim to fame as an angel in the Christmas play-may she portray her part well and receive at least five lines to speak: to Mary Alice Shields-my undisputed title as goal-keeper on the hockey team, provided that she watch the ball more carefully than I, also my favorite chair by the radiator in Mary Jane's house, which I occupy every morning while waiting for the bus: to Rose Marie Hurley--those iifteen minutes I cherished at noon dancing in the rec, or walking in the spring through the park-may she enjoy them as I have, also my Secretaryship in Gamma Ray, provided she keep the minutes better than its former Secretary kept them: to Mary Jane Popken-my priority on the coke machine, and my position as assistant on the Mission Committee, provided she collect more pennies than I, and the hope that she be fortunate enough in securing a bed instead of a cot at the next retreat. I, Louise Tewes will to Ruth Wilde-a pleasant early morning conversa- tion concerning the weather and the Fahrenheit readings: to Patricia Rahe-the frontmost seat on the green bus, directly in front of the heater by which we gradually thaw out on cold mornings: to Alice Macke--the refreshing 8:15 A. M. stride from home to the bus stop: to Patricia Schilds-my L'Abbe Con- stantin-may she also keep the pages free from annotations, as I tried to do, but without success.
