JUNE 1932 23 A. S. N. Society. This hike had its termination when the manager of the State Theater of Webster, seeing the members looking dilapi- dated and worn out, opened the portals one and one-half hours ahead of time to allow the members of the society to recuperate. Although a majority of our class took pro- minent parts in the annual operettas, the re- markable voice of Valentine Wilson cannot be too fully appreciated. His excellent and outstanding work doubtless made such operet- tas as Riding Down The Sky and Pickles the successes they were. Vincent Walsh ' s letter of sympathy to Miss Finnegan during her illness stood out from many others, as a message of sublime solace. Among many honors received by our class during our school life is the honor of being the first Senior Class to be taught by Mr. Tabor. And so we close the history that is a tribute, with hope that the Mary E. Wells will continue to produce such distinguished classes, both in the study hall and on the athletic field, as the Class of ' 32. John Weaver Iconise Kershaw Louise Gabree Class Will We, the Class of ' 32 of the Wells High School, in order to form a more perfect school, to establish justice, to insure home room tran- quility, to provide for common defense against faculty members, to promote the power of Traffic Officers, and to secure the blessing of the school committee to ourselves and our posterity, do hereby, being of sound mind and body, ordain this as our last will and testa- ment. Rose Brodeur, Pauline Paquette, and Wanda Slot a leave their petite little ways to Betsy Bernheim, Gladys Hall, and Annette Boyer.

Agnes Howard leaves her delicate color when flustered to Marion Horr. Jeannette LaCroix gives her unique method of entertaining the English class to Beatrice Senecal. Irene LaFlamme is going to leave her typing ability to Dorothy Farland. New prizes will have to be invented for Dorothy then. Our glorious class bequeaths to Mr. Mc- Mahon a box of balloons so he can blow one up, stick a pin in it, and say — We won the game just like that! — such success is going to follow him. Louise (Curly) Kershaw ' s ultimatum is that her curls shall part from her never! Eileen Cullen leaves her ability to dance out of a tight corner to Raymond (Fat) Favreau. Greta Garbo ' s double, Dolly Johnson, leaves her manner to Frances Roberts. Evelyn Sarty says Armand Chicoine is wel- come to her ability to do English at noon in Room 4. Tony Roy donates her winning ways, Bernice Hunt her silver voice, and Lea Lawton her curls, in order to make Doris Gay the belle of her Senior class. Pet Price bequeaths her extraordinary power of keeping perfectly silent and looking pretty (Senior Play) to Roxy Pinsonneault. Doris Olney leaves her habit of borrowing the law assignment to Clarence Julian. (Does he need this?) Clara McMaster leaves her mannish swagger to Helen Kelly. Bee Mason sighs as she leaves her memories of high school to some other popular belle.
