1 FORDL... k Class JiopfjEtp As Madame Ballagh puts me to sleep with her magical jxnvers (she always was good at looking people straight in the eyes), my vision into the future becomes clear. I see some of our dear Seniors as successes in pictures, on the radio, and in other fields of business. As I stupidly gaze into that far-away time, I see Mary Farrell and Robert Munro winning a beauty contest in our favorite haunt of all times, the Casino. “Just think,” the people whisper, “They were once blue ribbon winners in the Senior Class. As 1 gape still more, I see the three musketeers (Norma, Mabel, and Lois) still together. They must be as permanent as the novel of the same name by— 1 can't remember very well. I'm under Madame's spell too deeply. And now I notice Sue Crandall a coinin’ into town, to get the week’s supply of victuals. You may or may not know that Sue is seriously considering becoming a farmer to help Buddy with his gardening. Well, 1 see Sue has realized her ambition; she’s a farmer: accent, sunbonnet, muddy shoes, and all. “What’s this? Holy creeping cats! Down in the same old theatre Archie has just won a gold medal as Waterford's one and only midget. How did you do it, Albert? You might tell Myrtle your secret; so she can try for the medal next year. Who’s this—Gracie Allen? No, it's our own Helen Martin, the girl who always was good at saying witty things. Helen has made quite a name for herself in pictures. Good luck. Helen! I see Mickeiwicz playing on the Junior Varsity at State College. Keep it up, Mick. Some day you can come back and coach a team for your Alma Mater. And here we see June Vermilyea still talking. She’s the only woman announcer who can cover the football games and see all the passes. Talking in history class certainly helped her. Ray Currier and his brother “Cheer are still playing the guitar and sax. They have just won a gold medal and two nights’ engagement at the Casino in an amateur contest held in the Town Hall. Well! 1 see Fred Whiting has gained quite a reputation as a clairvoyant. Fred had lots of practice when he used to sit and look at Eleanor all history period. Hot-Cha! I see Carrol and Fanny have won the prizes (a corn cob pipe and a sunbonnet, in case you’re interested) for dancing the Irish Jig. Well, Carrol and Fanny were always good dancers. Some day they may go on the stage. Think of this, will you? Ruth Butler has just been appointed successor to Miss Ranney. Well, we all knew Ruth would succeed some day. I never could sleep sitting up. My vision is growing blank: in the clouds of oblivion, I see these words in blazing lights: “Success for the Class of ’35!” June Vermilyea Twenty

Class Wiiii We, the Class of 1935, being about to pass out of this sphere of education, in full possession of a crammed mind, well trained memory, and almost super- human understanding, do make and publish this, our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all former wills or promises by us at any time heretofore made, or mayhap, carelessly spoken, one to another, as the thoughtless wish of an idle hour. Such estate as it has pleased the Fates and our own strong hands and brains to win for us, we do dispose of as follows: To the faculty members, we return with thanks the many red marks which they have so generously bestowed upon us during our four years in high school. To the Junior Class we leave merely this warning: “You must mend your ways if you ever expect to become as dignified Seniors as we have been.” To the Sophomores we bequeath our unusual ability to maintain a quiet home room. To the Freshmen is awarded our undaunted courage, which has been with us always during the last four years and has enabled us to complete our high school career unharmed. Special Bequests Sue Crandall wishes to leave her Buddy to any girl in the Junior Class who can get him. To Babe Bartnick we offer Carrol Anderson’s position as center on the Varsity Basketball Team. To Franklyn Vanderwerken is given “Willie Farrell's ability to be a general nuisance. June Vermilyea’s quiet nature is willingly bequeathed to Margaret Farrell. We leave to Billy O’Meara. John Haffey’s outstanding dancing ability. We declare that ten cents of our money shall be used for the purpose of buying a new pipe for James Brown. We bestow upon John Keene, Fred Whiting's incomprehensible ability to be tardy for school. One of Fannie May Anderson's many husbands is graciously handed down to Pauline Sober. Take good care of him, Pauline. Jane Hick's ability to “hold her man is left to Jane Clement. We hope you make good use of it, Jane.
