LONGHORN I Mary Keefe, leave to join that everlasting line of Keefes in the Alumni Parade. I Martha Deal, leave to Joy Bartlett, my size nine shoe. The halls aren't safe with you running around a mile a minute. Maybe these will slow you down a bit. I, Fred Fuller, leave my cowboy boots and cattle truck to my brother, Roddy. Now remember, boy, you keep your speed limit under ninety. I, Maybeth Lowe, leave the boys in my class to anyone who wants them. I wish they would stop pestering me. I, Wayne Gilman, leave, biting my fingernails as usual and wishing I had some homework to do. I Nancy Forbes, leave to Ed Winn, my great big smile and ability to chew gum without being detected. I Bud Eastman, leave my speed and accuracy on the basketball floor to Dick Campbell. Sorry, I don't have an extra comb, Dick! I, Ray Flannery, leave my ability to get by in my studies to Skip Morse so that after every marking period the coach won't have to worry about whether or not he's got to look for a new left guard. If you don't need it, Skip, pass it on to some unfortunate. y 7 I 7 Before ending this worthy charter, we would like, as a class, to leave to the gallant teachers of W. H. S., our humble thanks for their diligent work trying to improve on the thinking matter of our pulpy brains. With these morbid words, we close this illiterate piece of scribbling and leave it to be sealed forever in the files of Mr. Rowe's office. - BUD EASTMAN, - RAY FLANNERY.

Our first game at the Burlington tournament was with Newport High School, whom we defeated by a good sized margin. In the semi-finals we won over a strong Peoples Academy club by one point. At the Class B finals in Barre, we lost to the defending champions, West Rutland High School. Much credit for the two trophies, CNorthern Tournament and Runner Upj, which we acquired, should go to Coach Doran, who worked long and diligently with the boys. We would like to congratulate next year's captain, Harry O'Brien, and wish him and the team the best of luck. - KENNETH DIBBELL, Manager.
