To Don Vrooman we award Betty Sweeney’s delightful job of visiting Mrs. Haggerty every day. Not just after school but between classes too. Jean Daignault’s ability to have a perfect attendance during her Senior year is bestowed upon Muriel Tague. Think you can do it, Muriel? Vincent Bechard’s perpetual grin is awarded to Bob Kerr. To her pal, Dot Stall, Lois Ayers donates her ability to write English com- positions. You’ll need it this year. Dot. To Leona Dupree we leave Zita Kinney’s merry giggle. The habit of giggling goes hand in hand with that of talking. To Irv MacEnroe we award Harry Kirker’s sense of humor and ambition to have one big happy blow-out. Ask Harry about the blow-out, Irv. To Eleanor Condon we leave Fred Renzi’s ability to play “Sweet Sue” on the piano while someone else plays “Frenesi” on the saxophone. To Burp Dwyer we leave Joe Rivet’s perfectly lovely curly hair. It’s curlers what done it. Burp. Marge Stiles and Perk” Perkins award their perfect romance to Elaine Larkins and Gibby Gentile. Ed Kennedy leaves his ability to do nothing in study hall to Chester Gam- belli. Don’t overdo it though, Chet. To Betty Gaunt we award Rita Pallozzi’s job of treasurer for the next Senior Class. We hope you have more luck collecting dues than Rita did. Ed Lawler’s title of laziest boy is bestowed upon Fred Bessette. We ain't kidding either. Cecilia Kolonczyk’s love of light blue convertibles is awarded to Betty Gernon. Betty French bequeaths to Viola Winnie her love for short skirts. The shorter the better. Valeria Kolonczyk’s job of typing is bestowed upon Marion Bryk. Be sure you don’t get a slave driver like George Willenberg, Marion. Jack Clifford’s most becoming blush is bestowed upon bashful Walt Sorenson. To little Daisy Dudden we leave some of Lucille Hart’s height. You cer- tainly can use some, Daisy. Anna Gabriel’s becoming gym suit is awarded to Rose Donini. Now you have no excuse. Rose. Don Cramer leaves the heritage of the Art Room to Wilson Pitcher. Ruth Conklin bequeaths to anyone in the Junior Class who still appreciates it. “The Black Hawk Waltz.” I doubt that there is any such person. At the conclusion of this, our last will and testament, we declare that the legality of this document may be established beyond all dubious uncertainty. And we at this time appoint the Big Bad Wolf as our executor. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, we have subscribed our names on this third day of May, in the year Nineteen Hundred Forty-One and do assert that on this day the testators did subscribe their names to this document in our presence and at this time declare this document to be our final will and testament. Upon this seal we set our names as witnesses to the execution thereof. (Signed! Helen Singleton Witnesses: Charlie McCarthy George Willenberg Mortimer Sxerd -4 24 )►-

(UlcUis IBill We, the Class of 1941, being in full possession of a supposedly sound mind and memory, do hereby publish this, our last will and testament, revoking and making void any former promises made by us at any time during our short stay with you. We make the following dispositions of our priceless property: To the Faculty members we return the many red marks and home-work assignments they have so generously bestowed upon us in our tour through Waterford High. To the Junior Class, our esteemed followers and friends, we leave a few of our richest treasures—-our title of Seniors—our charming manners, and our ability to be as well liked and studious as we have been. To the Sophomores, we leave our ability to conduct a class meeting in perfect order????? To the Freshmen, young and innocent, we leave our everlasting courage which has seen us through the hardest years of our life—our four years of high school—and has enabled us to come through without too many wrinkles and gray hairs. To our History C Teacher, we leave our beloved history books which have caused us so much worry this year. Just a little remembrance of us. To the next Senior Advisor, Miss Gainor leaves her favorite box of headache tablets, which should be taken before, during and immediately after every class meeting. Special Bequests Elsie Brown wills her reputation of “class flirt” to Pris. Porter. Remember, Pris. you first gave it to Elsie, now she wants to give it back. Beatrice Arehitze and Theresa Arquilla leave their favorite seats in study hall to Clara DiCredico and Gloria DeLisle. When sitting in these seats, girls, you’ll be sure to see a lot because they are both near a window. We bequeath to Marcella Murphv, Bettv Bull’s abilitv to see all, hear all, and tell all. To Hook Searchilli we will Jupe Church’s love of basketball and his affec- tions for one and only one girl. Lena Cerqua leaves her beloved Economics book to Theresa Cerqua. Don’t study too hard, Theresa. We leave Joe Ciechinelli’s quietness and shyness to someone in the Junior Class. And we don’t mean Irv MacEnroe, either. Dot Cooper presents her pictures of Dennis Morgan to Mary Asccnzi with the special request that they be looked at often. A1 Falcone and Nazi Ascenzi award their loud shirts to Davy Catallo. They should be washed in Lux after every wearing to keep them bright and new. Alex Parissi awards to Don Smith his job of Vice-President and title of “forgotten man.” Ginnv Perkins bequeaths her love for dirty saddle shoes to Dot Gero. If you want them to look like Ginny’s, we suggest that you clean them once a year. George Willenberg leaves his love to Lois Connery. Treat it with care, Lois. To Joan Van Arnum we bequeath Helen Singleton’s ability to give a lump of sugar as her appreciation for a lovely time. To Tom Hawley, Zip Sorenson leaves the vampish smile and luring gaze of Pris Porter’s that she has so freely distributed among the Senior boys during the year. - ;■{ 23 ) -
