PRISCILLA PUDVAH Cilia” Cilia” is the last of the famous Pudvah Trio.” Our red-headed friend (ouch we asked for it) is extremely fond of dancing, so we hear. In fact so much that she would like to have a dancing class, no less!!! Needless to say we sure will miss Puds” game winning long shots on the basketball floor next year. She says that she is still undecided as to what her future plans will be, but never- theless we wish her the very best in which- ever direction she chooses to go. Favorite Subject: English Pet Peeve: Arguments Favorite Past-time: Dancing Ambition: To live closer to Sawyer BARBARA SAWYER Barb” We could never understand how a per- son always laughs at his own jokes all the time until we got to know Barb. She has a sense of humor all her own, and keeps us laughing a good deal of the time! This past year she has been our able and sharp- shooting captain of the basketball team and will be sorely missed next year. She plans to go to Lyndon too (to get away from it all, and to be a teacher!!!) We know she will make a good one and we wish her the very best. Favorite Subject: Algebra Pet Peeve: Hearing other people peeve Favorite Past-time: Talking to Pudvah on the telephone Ambition: To teach RUTH SIMMONS Rut hie” May I help you?” Yes, that is Ruthie’s password and reason enough!!! She too is one of the office girls and a good one too. She enjoys driving a cer- tain Chevy” and is blessed (??) with an infectious giggle which we all will miss next year too. We are willing to wager that you will make someone a good wife Ruthie and we wish you the very best of luck in the future. Favorite Subject: Office Practice Pet Peeve: Brothers Favorite Past-time: Driving Timmy’s car Ambition: To travel — Fourteen —

Well, she came back with a bang and was one of our defensive sparks” this year too. She is particular- ly fond of World Problems and says that she Would like to solve them all. Her destination next year is Lyndon where she is going to take up teaching. May you have all the luck in the world, Pat. Favorite Subject: World Problems Pet Peeve: Flat tires” Favorite Past-time: Singing off key NANCY MAYS Nancy” The comely lass in the Senior class, that’s our gal Nancy!

Favorite Past-time: Basketball Ambition: To eat more without gaining! EVELYN PROVENCHER Abbie” Our ever efficient office girl with the slow grin. Yes, that’s Evelyn.

CLASS WILL We, the class of 1950 of Wells River H. S., city of Wells River, in the county of Orange and the state of Vermont, being at this time in full possession of our mental brains, both active and spare, do here- by publish and declare this to be our last will and testament, which shall be executed according to the following points: 1. MR. CORNTHWAITE: a vocational guidance department complete with staff so that you’ll not have to worry about the future of future graduates. 2. MR. STONE: the Senior's Chemistry books, almost new and hardly used. 3. MRS. GIBSON: a stoic countenance to be used only at basket- ball games. 4. MRS. SPEAR: the remainder of the school's typing paper — yes, all three sheets. 5. MRS. ROWELL: a home economic class that can make fudge better than we Seniors. 6. MRS. ROWE: this box containing nine angelic voices to re- place those you'll lose when we graduate. 7. SAM STANLEY: a new happy-look” so that future students will not be deprived of what we considered part of the school. 8. THE INCOMING FRESHMEN: four successful years of school, each day having a little laughter in it. 9. THE SOPHOMORES: the feeling that makes two more years of school seem like two centuries. 10. THE JUNIORS: the privilege of heckling the seniors. 11. THE SENIORS: our unspotted, unsurpassed record to live up to. INDIVIDUALLY WE WILL: 12. I, ELLEN BAILEY, will my argumentary power to Reynold Boyce — maybe now, Mrs. Gibson, he’ll talk a little. 13. I, MARION CHAMBERLAIN, will my ability to get up early to Hoddy Symes — you might run out of excuses, Hod. — Fifteen —
