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.

------1------M CLASS OF 1940 --------------- Clair Projbbeey On Wednesday, the 29th day of November in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and thirty nine, lifting up my voice, I proclaimed that Waltham would upset Brockton by one touch- down. From this, my initial adventure in prog- nostication, I arise with my head bloody but un- bowed, and with an optimism which will not be downed I am leading with my chin again. I ask you, therefore, to visualize your prophet as a radio broadcaster, which role he has chosen more from plot necessity than from aptitude, bringing you a description of an Inaugural Parade from Washington sometime in the distant future. This is David Fitzgerald speaking from a bal- cony above Pennsylvania Avenue where I will at- tempt to describe to you the Inaugural Parade and at the same time keep in touch with the rest of the country by means of news flashes. Contrary to the usual custom the Inaugural Parade is being held without the President. President fobnflone'r social secretary, Eleanor Betty, thought it would be nice if the President received everyone who had his High School picture at the Victory Ball last night. At last reports the President's arm is still paralyzed but physicians were beginning to hope. Today the Chief Executive's place is being taken by his bodyguard, Willie Riebardf. Since the President is a bachelor, his campaign manager, Al Ganrbier, conducted a Nation-wide contest for the position of First Lady. Riding in the Presi- dential Car are the twelve Hnalists: Riilb Belli- vean, Elaine Cabill, Marjorie Dow, Fay Cbapin, Marjorie Farnfworlb, Genevieve Cbiaffon, Mari- lynne Collofnb, Marjorie Freeman, Marion fonef, Mary Keefe, Dorofby Lawfon, and faniee Loving. Closely following the President's car is cam- paign manager Al Gauthier and those famous political bosses: Albert Bnrbe, Hal Neelon, IWaller Foote, Ben Algeri, Walter' Carfidy, Ronny Mae- Arlbar, Gerald Bnrgerr, Panl Trornbley and Ed. Flannery, accompanied by their official hostesses: Wilfrza Greenlaiv, Rila Dnbe, Anne Drnry, Regine Hanna, Belly Morber, Madeline O'Hare, Dorozfby Peterfon, Erzfelle Sbieldr, and Mary Malone. Gauthier was always a good politician and could put anyone in office except himself. Next comes General Robert Collinf, Army Chief of Staff, and his staff generals, Rigoli, Beffo, Bzitrber, fanef, McClellan, and Mehlngb. Ellen Maefilpine, Barbara Page and Denife Rollo are in charge of the women's battalions. Following the Army is the Diplomatic Corps led by the newly appointed Ambassador to the Irish Free State, Mr. Pbilip Vincello fWhen asking for the appoint- ment, Mr. Vincello told the President that he simply had to get back to the Old Countryj. With Ambassador Vincello are Consuls William Connelly, Don Morriyon, fobn Arcbdeacon, Clar- ence Arrenanll, Lawrenee Eden, Arnold Sarnzan- ian, Pbil fonef, Panl Mnlvibill and Paiil Mnire, delegates to the newly-formed German Provinces. The next group is the Presidentls Cabinet which seems to be built around Mr. Edwin Briggr, Secretary of Education. Mr. Briggs intends to make the study of Astronomy a required subject. Ted always spent a lot of time gazing at the moon. Accompanying Briggs are Sec. of the Treasury Bob Slevenr falways good at high finance-re member the buses to Reverej, Sec. of War Belly Andrewf fwhen it comes to fighting Betty knows the answersj and Secretaries Prireilla Grey, Er- 7 lelle Derrell, Irene Derrnond, Mary Dolan, Eliz- abelb Crane, Belly Crook, Marjorie Melanron and Irene Millar. In the corner of the car is Sec. of Labor Conrad Teele asleep. Questioned on his views concerning labor, Mr. Teele replied 'I'm agin it. Miss Rlllb Hogan, Mr. Gauthier's secretary has asked me to acknowledge over the air these tele- grams of congratulation. The first one is from the Waltham Mother's Club and is signed by President Dorolbea Barniele, feanne Berggren, Barbara Boyd, Helen Brady, Barbara Brewrler,
