If your present la femme charm grows old some day, Bob, fwhich we doubtj, we are sure that these kisses will suffice for an evening or two. To Rzztb Dermott, the Venus of the class of 1940, we leave this little camera for her future use when she is a busy photographers model pos- ing for such advertisements as refrigerators, Luckies 2-1, and Lux toilet soap along with the Hollywood stars. To Hngb Gfzrdrzer, our 1940 Jack Benny, we leave this jiminy Cricket, his private conscience, that will warn him to stop on the safe side of his clowning. To Robert Steoerzr, our Adolphe Menjou, better known as the best dressed boy in the class of 1940, we leave these one-way-stretch, emerald colored garters to prevent that bulging at the ankles which is sure to show with rolled up breeches. To Noel Temple, whose clotheslput her right into the debutante class, we leave this genuine talon zipper to save her the embarrassment of ever being pointed out as a horrible example of the modern disease-Gaposisl To Robert Clemente, our next Mickey Rooney, we bestow on Bob this Pinocchio doll for a pup- pet show of the future in token of our belief that he will outstrip Walt Disney's finest achievements. To Hope Goodell, voted our best actress after her wonderful performance of Penny in the senior play, we leave this box of Kleenex to take care of any excess facial cream that she might use such as that which she displayed in the South junior Auditorium. To Elizabeth Quigley, our class social light, we leave this Hawaiian guitar and a hound-trip ticket to Honolulu to serenade the someone, unknown to us, who sent her that cute grass skirt and lei. To Dirk jobnrtone, our local replica of the highly publicized Supermanl', we leave a large bottle of the perfect remedy for all discomfiture due to overindulgence in the line of athletic en- deavor, Sloans' Liniment! To Eclmz Mitebell, our most athletic girl, we leave this set of Indian Clubs to keep those mus- cles always in trim. Don't forget your daily dozen, Edna. To Mildred Czlrrmz, our exotic black-haired glamour girl, we leave this sarong flatest Adrian designj so, at her first opportunity, she may show Dorothy Lamour what real competition is. To Pbillip Virzcello, the ready, willing, and al- ways able bookworm, we leave, with regrets, this handsome pair of form-fitted, cut-glass, horn- rimmed spectacles, which, we feel, will be a dire necessity if he continues to keep up the pace which won him the title of most studious boy. To Arzrze fobrzrorz, the most studious senior girl, we leave this comic magazine with the suggestion that she drop her books for a while and enjoy a little diversion. In testimony whereof we hereunto set our hand and seal and publish and declare this to be the Codicil to our last Will and Testament, in the presence of the Witnesses named below, this fifth day of june, A. D., 1940. Signed-The Class of 1940 by-WLLMA GREENIAW. Signed, sealed and published by the said Class of 1940 as and for their last Will and Testament, in the presence of us, who at their request, and in their presence, and in the presence of each other, have subscribed our names as Witnesses thereto.

Who knows-one of you may take the place of Dorothy Dix or George Antheil in some future year. To Gavin Carter, that speedy ball toter of the backheld, we leave a cook book so he may learn a few new dishes to supplement his well known specialty, the Bud Carter Goulash. To Edwin Briggr, the human whiz of our class, we leave the position that Clifton Fadiman now holds on the Information Please program. To Barbara Weekf, our D. A. R. girl, who is first in marks, first in music, first in the hearts of her fellow classmates, we leave our tribute to a very lovely person. We hereby nominate and appoint Miss Allen, Mr. Mitchell, and Mr. Ward, all of Waltham, County of Middlesex, and Commonwealth of Massachusetts, as co-executors of this, our last Will and Testament, and we hereby direct said Executors to pay all our just debts, costs of ad- ministration, and inheritance taxes out of our es- tate, and we hereby request that they be exempt from furnishing any surety or sureties on their official bonds. In testimony whereof we hereunto set our hand and seal and publish and declare this to be our last Will and Testament, in the presence of the Witnesses named below, this fifth day of June, A. D. 1940. Signed-The Class of 1940 -by WILMA GREENLAW. Signed, sealed, and published by the said Class of 1940 as and for their last Will and Testament, in the presence of us, who at their request, and in their presence, and in the presence of each other, have subscribed our names as witnesses thereto. GRACE H. CALLANAN ALICE N. Riosv HARIRIET I. FLAGG Codicil To The Last Will And Testament Of The Class Of 1940 To Wnom IT MAY CoNc1iaRN:' Know all men by these presents that we, the class of 1940, being of sound and disposing mind and memory, and wishing to direct in what man- ner our estate shall be disposed of after our de- cease, do make and publish this Codicil to our last Will and Testament dated june 5, 19-10, hereby ratifying and confirming said Will in all respects except as changes by this instrument. We hereby nominate and appoint Barbara Weeks to be the Executrix of this, the Codicil to our last Will and Testament, and we hereby re- quest that she be exempt from furnishing any surety or sureties on her official bond. To Priscilla Gray, our girl most likely to suc- ceed in the senior class, we leave this alarm clock set to gain in time so that instead of the conven- tional twenty-four hours a day, she will have twenty-seven. In these three additional hours she will be able to take lessons in deep sea diving, Russian folk dancing, and also playing the slide trombone. To Rainer! Cleuzezlre, the boy most likely to succeed in our class of 1940, we leave this steel liling cabinet to keep a record of all his present and future achievements. '17, Rirlmrd jnhmrlmze, our most popular boy by a majority vote, we leave not the book of How to Make Friends and Influence People, which Dick doesn't need, but we leave an anony- mous book titled How to Find Time to Study and Still keep My Friends. To Berlillie Lockman, our girl with the person- ality plus and also the most popular girl of the 1940 class, we leave this little portable house as a retreat for her when HER public and the re- porters demand too much of her attention in putting her radiant personality into the headlines, thus leaving her no time for rest. For quiet places to situate this house, we suggest Poppenesset Beach on the cape, Hartland, Vermont, in the sticks , and Tatamagouche, Nova Scotia, which contains at least two other houses now.
