The Senior Year Book — 1935 ance here tomorrow in connection with her new picture, “The Great Silence.” News Item: Andrew Low, eminent scientist and mathematician, has at last succeeded in measuring the exact dimensions of an atom. Dr. Low says his task would have been much easier if it had not baen necessary for him to do so much of his research in the sixth and seventh dimensions. Irja Ojala, who interviewed Dr. Low for this paper, wants to know' what he’s going to do about it, now that he has found the measurements. News Item: Dr. Elizabeth Leon was arrested today for vivisecting a hippopotamus in her laboratory. Her secretary, Jeannette Barber, reported her to Louis Vezina, president of the S. P. C. A., who immediately called the police. Miss Leon is now awaiting trial in the county jail. She has engaged a shrewd lawyer, James Steadman, to defend her against DeVere Kuehn, State’s attorney, whose argumentative talents are a source of anxiety to Dr. Leon’s friends. Advertisement: While in town, stop at the Elysian Hotel, under its new manager, Dorothy Shepard. A new corps of charming waitresses have been engaged, including Mary Rose, Constance Nardone, Esther Pan-ciera, and Marguerite Crowley. The chef, Charles Larkin, has cooked in famous European hotels. New's Item: Stella Ulles, former manager of the Elysian Hotel, has retired to a ranch near Weekapaug, where she will raise prize fleas for circuses. They will be trained by Peter DePerry, who has trained some of the most intelligent fleas in captivity. New's Item: The steamer U. S. A. Flatilla, owned by Louise McMahon, was wrecked last week near a small island in the South Seas. Among those who sought refuge on this island were a troupe of beautiful dancers who w’ere going to England for appearances in all the London theatres. This troupe consisted of Rose Curzio, Alice Davis, Nancy Gingerella, Frances Ingham, and Gilda Gulluscio, and their manager, Lois Larkin. On the island they met Irene Dammeyer and Gladys Pratt, business women, who were camping there. The entire company came home today in Miss Dammeyer’s yacht. It has been interesting to read the exciting news and to find so many names familiar to me and to know how the present generation is running the world. Surely Westerly High School has reason to be proud of her illustrious alumni of the class of 1935. —Ethel Pearl Maines. —DeVere Keuhn. (Claafi 'g’mtg Tune: “There Is a Tavern in the Town 1 We love our high school Love it well, Love it well, But now must leave it. Sad to tell, Sad to tell, We’ve spent three years within its hall, But all our lives will heed its call. REFRAIN: Fare thee well, for we must leave thee, Do not let the parting grieve thee, And remember that the best of friends must part, must part. Adieu, adieu, dear school, adieu, adieu, adieu, We can no longer stay with you, stay with you, Throughout our lives we’ll always cherish thee And ever loyal be. 2 We’ve read our French, and Learned it well, Learned it well, We’ve written themes Between the bells, ’Tween the bells! We’ve typed, and sung— We’ve boosted all our sports And from our teachers wisdom sought. —Arranged by Natalie Sherman. —Sf u) --

The Senior Year Book — 1935 (Class ifliU AS authorized plenipotentiary of the Class of 1935, the lugubrious and staid obligation of ceramacizing and publishing this, its last will and testament, devolves upon me. We, the Class of 1935, on the eve of deviating from the security, sedantariness, and solicitude of erudite life and being of sound mental and physical health, do hereby proclaim to all intimately concerned, this, our last will and testament, precluding all previous facsimiles or extemporaneous references associated with us in any form. Article 1. We, the Senior Class, extend to our benignant faculty our sincere regrets for past actions and the deepest consolations and condolences for future matriculates. Art. 2. To Mr. Mason, our highly respected and laudable principal, we bequeath a talented array of adept gum-scrapers, products of our masticatory influence. Art. 3. To Mr. Sherman, our psychological biologist, we bequeath a new skeleton, appropriately christened “Bony”, whose wholesome taciturnity, we hope, will have a tranquilizing effect on the garrulous and mercurial inclinations of his wards. Art. 4. To the Juniors we leave our infallible genius for evading failure by mass cooperation, in the hope that they may avoid being subjected to the arduous difficulties of tautology. Art. 5. To the Sophomores (may their tribe decrease) we bestow a prolific supply of brotherly advice and the desire that they adhere to the three requisities of their existence, inferiority, inconspicuousness, and unobtrusiveness. Art. 6. Our individual endowments, spiritual, moral, or mundane, together with miscellaneous ramifications, shall be allotted as follows: We, Esther Crandall and Janet Coleman, will our compatibility with the male contingent to Mary Donati and Doris Pierce, who have evinced a shyness and aversion to their company. I, George Anderson, bequeath a plethora of tissue to Roland Stone whose emaciated frame is sadly in need of repair. 1, Allen Cornell, bequeath my position as office boy to Maud” Holliday, who has been my faithful understudy in this itinerant profession. We, Stephen Chernasky, Joseph Cel-estino, Thomas Wills, and Charles Larkin, leave our court skill to the remnant of the basketball team and particularly to Sam Larkin, who, with his combined readiness, will probably go down in history. I, Devere Kuehn, bestow the unbesmirched title of “Moose” upon Dory Pan-ciera, whose perpetually forlorn expression warrants this appellation. We. Joseph Gormaily and William Max-son, bequeath the sum total of our mathematical cognition to Archie Dubuque, who admits he is baffled by that Archimedean subject. We, Natalie Sherman and Cathryn Farrell, bequeath our dramatic interpretations to all future players in the hope that they will inspire them to even greater heights. I, Donald Graham, bequeath six bottles of Cod Liver Oil to the prospective president of the next Senior Class with the suggestion that he make full use of the powers invested in them before conducting a class meeting. I, John Gilchrist, leave my complete repertoire of witty ejaculations, etc., to Palmer Williams, who is trying hard to duplicate them but is only half-way there. I, Andrew Low, with all the munificence and generosity characteristic of us Scots, bequeath my own economical remedy for 16 )8» -
