THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK - 1936 hitherto unheard of. He is actually sell- ing brushes of a certain variety. Just to prove how well he has done, he was last year voted the most outstanding Fuller Brush man. Imagine it! FIRST WITCH--Lois Kessel, as Pro- bator of Wills, has been very successful. She has been steadily advancing in her field until it looks as if she were monop- olizing it. As no one has a better right, go ahead, Lois. We see some of our class are air-mind- ed. Extensive plans have been made for a stratosphere flight by Hilda Lepikko, Jessie Simone, and Mary Brocato. There is a slight delay, however. Hilda favors Mars, while Jessie supports a visit to Jupiter. Pauline Pitcher wishes that they'd hurry and decide so that she will know at last just wher-e all the Apollo- like men have gone. Virginia Melia has accomplished a real feat. She's the world's fastest talking human. She is now Wal- ter Winchell's Girl Sunday, being able to impart more interesting facts than even that skilled news commentator can in the short space of radio time. SECOND WITCH-We have often won- dered why Ev Peduzzi, coach of the Bash- ful Five basketball team, has made it a strict rule never to have more than one referee at his games. His team tells us that it's because it is so difficult to put his arms around two referees at once. Battling Jeff Simmons and Thomas John Bull Palmer staged a very severe battle at the opening of the new Hookie Jackson Arena on East Avenue. The decision was a draw. Louis Faverio has just completed a six lane auto tunnel un- der the Pawcatuck River between West- erly and Stonington. Sam Sammataro and Pete DePerry are coaching Westerly's first professional football eleven. They are being assisted by the veteran coaches of the famous Westerly High football teams. THIRD WITCH-Coiffures by Althea are quite in vogue. Miss Norman has a thriving business in Boston, women of fashion waiting in great suspense till Al- thea predicts th-e latest trend of curls. The revival of The Music Goes 'Round and 'Round has brought gray hairs to the heads of Arline Anderson, Theresa Sicilian, Sylvia Kender, and Gladys Ship- pee. The four operate a farm for the rais- ing of trained Mexican jumping beans, which go insane as the strains of this song are heard. Cheer up, ladies, it has had the same effect on humans. Yvonne Dinwoodie broadcasts daily on the subject How to Hold Your Man. The principal form of procedure is delect- able chicken dinners rounded off with luscious chocolate cake. FIRST WITCH-Frank Mills has or- ganized a traveling circus as a cheap means of seeing the world. u One of the acts includes Waldo Bishop who floats through the air with the greatest of ease. The act involving J uliene Fiore and Alex Capalbo is the hit of the show. It is a bicycle idea on a tight rope. The boys declare that they enjoy the wide open spaces of the upper atmosphere. May Shippee is operating a Reducing by Safe Means school in Hollywood. Says May, They come in droves to my shop. She is, of course, very busy. She advo- cates a rigid course in exercise. Betty Alger is keeping Theresa Gencar- elli company in caring for the Dionne quintuplets. Betty superintends the pur- chasing of these ladies' cloth-es. To prove what a good job Betty makes of it, The Quins were last year voted the best dressed women in America. SEC'OND WITCH-A catastrophe has overtaken Ruth Bogue and Helen Rose. They left some time ago on an automobile trip in the Sahara Desert. Latest reports have it that they ran out of gas and have been obliged to finish the journey by the art of thumb-wagging. We see Anna Gilson with 'Oswald the Great, noted artist and sculptor. Just an- other model gone astray! She eloped with the great gentleman and thus deprived the World of art of one of its most noted models. We see Gordon Kennedy and Paul Mis- isco, great financiers, who have hired John Williamson and James Kirby as bodyguards. The gentlemen, since buy- ing the 5 and 10's, have decided to sur- pass Mr. Rockefeller and distribute quar- ters on their birthdays. Start forming the lines now if you wish to be among the fortunate. ALL- All the weird shapes that have been From our cauldron disappear- -..Qf 1 4 E+..-

Turn SENIOR YEAR Book - 1936 0112155 ill WE, the Class of Thirty-six, having ter- minated our course of three years in a becoming manner at this institution of learning, deem it indispensable and ap- propriate to compose, divulgate, and pro- claim this our last will and testament, ab- rogating and articulating ineffectual all wills formerly made by us. Our effects, those which the fates have bestowed upon us and those which our natural talents have acquired, we dispose of as follows: Item 1: To the Sophomores, we give the surplus in our treasury, so that they may have a Junior Prom. Item 2: To the Juniors, we do hereby convey our vast intelligence, serene propri- ety, and calm judgment, with the hope that they will- exert every effort in trying to make the teachers forget just how won- derful the Class of '36 was. Item 3: To our beloved Faculty we leave the everlasting remembrance of the many hours of content and happiness which they have spent in order to prepare us for the future. Item 4: To Mr. Mason, our respected and highly esteemed principal, we leave a list of suggestions regarding the accumu- lation of funds for the Commencement Senior, and hope it may prove beneficial to the coming Senior classes. Some of the members of the class be- queath cherished personal belongings as follows: I, Paul Misisco, do hereby bequeath a free tuition to any physical culture school in the East to the incoming president of the .Senior class, in order that he may at- tain sufficient muscular power to conduct an orderly class meeting. I, Ruth Nichols, the sweeping air of queenly sophistication which I possess to Caroline Crandall. . I, Elsa Schuster, my ability in Chem- lstry to Fred Rodgers of the Junior class. I, Althea Norman, my innocent, unso- phisticated manner and intent seriousness as regards school duties to Gloria Mongeon. We, Ruth Spargo and Hawley Mapother, do confer our admiration for each other upon a certain couple in the Junior class. I, Eleanor Crandall, my sincere appre- ciation for Latin to George Howard. We, Helen Robinson and Howard Kuehn, our ability in all departments of art to Ruth Williams and Betty Stilson. I, Anna Gilson, my trusty alarm clock to Kay Briody, hoping it will prove as helpful to her as it has to me. I, Mary Pothier, my love for horseback- riding to Edna Kissick, trusting that she will be careful in her choice of horses. I, Mary Sisson, my proficiency in tran- scribing my shorthand notes to Robert Malaghan. I, Robert Kessel, my natural talent and nonchalant manner in delivering extempo- raneous speeches in assembly to Dory Pan- ciera, who will be greatly in need of such during the football season. We, Everett Peduzzi and Archie Du- buque, our outstanding and admirable ath- letic achievements to John Roan, who has kept us well watered throughout our career. I, Edgar Goff, my fleetness of foot on the ballroom floor to Baby Leroy Peck- ham of the Junior class. I, Mary Turo, my memory for choice bits of information to Edris Barnes of the Junior class. I, Ray Hoxsie, my winning smile and irresistible dimples to Ray Smith of the Sophomore class. I, Doris Pierce, every Ray of thehsun and moon to Barbara Edmonds, who is especially fond of them. ' We, Betty Alger, Elizabeth St. Onge, and Josephine Brusa, our charming voices, 16 ig.--
