SENIORS CLASS WILL We, the first graduating class of West Boylston High School, about to leave the colorful halls of friendship and learning, having reached the peak of our High School days, regret only that we must leave behind many pleasant associations. Therefore, in the memory of our outstanding class, we do hereby bequeath our last will and testament. To Mr. Griffin we leave a private eye to track down missing persons during X period. To Mr. Davis we leave some black hair dye to put the color back in his sideburns, which we turned gray. To Mr. Pendleton we leave some argyle socks so, when he takes off his shoes in class, he’ll think of us. To Mr. Flagg we leave a dueling pistol to shoot his students at sunrise. To Mr. O’Connor we leave a set of duals for the Driver Ed. car. To Mr. Neenan we leave directions to the nearest fire sale. To Mr. Cecchini we leave a set of books on How to Roll Your R’s for future Spanish classes. To Mr. Gaucher we leave a bottle of iodine, oh, pardon us, iodeene, Right Mr. Gaucher? To Mr. and Mrs. Wiltshire we leave a full time secretary to answer the door and phone and a pair of sneakers to sneak up on the kids who make pests of themselves during rehearsals. To Mrs. Gagle we leave a year’s supply of needles. To Mrs. Rogers we leave a pipeline from the coffee pot to her desk. And to Mr. Johnson, Mr. Lepore, and all the other members of our wonderful faculty we leave our deepest and most sincere thanks for helping us over the rough spots, not only academ- ically, but personally. Herbert Abladian leaves the name of his barber to Gerry Murphy. Carole Amsden bestows her quiet manner to Harold Vickory. Franny Anderson leaves her freckles to Pam Holmes who has plenty of room for them. Pat Balcom leaves her loud cheering voice to Dolores Anthony. Joan Blodgett sacrifices her second lunch to Gail Olson. Ralph Brosnahan bequeaths his study habits to the Junior “We know it all” class. John Carlson leaves for the Navy. Brad Carson sacrifices a few of his inches to Bob Parker, our six foot center. Claire Chase leaves her red hair to Janet DePatsy. Carol DePatsy bestows her way with men to Ethel who has a spark already. Bill Cummings gladly leaves his blushing ability to anyone who wants it. Jean Desanti presents her ability to get out of classes to future office girls. Janet Ferrandino leaves her height to Don Moore, who with a few more inches could drop the ball in the basket with his feet on the floor. 26
