Dh Be keOW NIE 2 N Last and most important of all, there should be co-operation in your class. We speak from experience when we say that there is no enjoyment in a class that is forever quibbling over trivialities. We are confident that if you will do all these things, you will not only have a happy school year but also a success- ful one. We now wish you the best of luck and happiness in your Senior year and hope that you will make the most of it. Donald Brooder Edmie Bibeau CLASS WILL We, the graduating class of 10946, professing ourselves to be of sound mind and body, do hereby declare this to be our last official testimony, the contents of which are not subject to revision or revocation. Having paid our just debts and graduation charges, we bequeath and devise as follows: { To the Incoming Seniors, our best regards and good will in their Senior year. You'll need it, kids. To Mr. Earle, we leave a pair of soft-soled shoes so that he can “pussy- foot” around the school without be- ing seen. To Miss McGorty, we leave an over- sized desk so that she can have enough room to keep it straight. To Mr. Wood, we leave a more in- telligent Chemistry class — one that won't break all the equipment. To Miss Shay we leave a broom and a mop to assist her in cleaning house. To Miss Vaughan, we leave an es- calator so that she can change floors more easily. To Mr. Sisson, we leave a beach- wagon to transport his shop-boys to and from the shop. To Miss Butler, we leave a cook book to aid her in getting her hus- band’s meals. We also wish her much happiness in her married life. To Mr. Hammond, we leave a new shining car so that he can get to and from school more easily. To Mr, Kulick, we leave a Ditto machine so that he can do his own oe a9 5 ceeds ” S dittos” rather than ‘“‘draft” the Sen- ior girls. To Miss Cahoon, we leave a new, easy-method cash book to aid her in keeping her ice cream accounts straight. We should also like to thank her, at this time, for serving as our Class Adviser. To Mr. Bowman, we leave a new pipe and a comic book so that he may enjoy his leisure time. To Mr. Hall, we leave our sincere thanks and appreciation for all he has been able to do in keeping an orchestra in Westport High and we hope next year will bring forth a great turnout. Hilda Orr leaves to Rita Massey her sophistication. Edmie Bibeau and Alan Manchester leave to Gerald Souza their athletic ability. Win our games next year, Gerry. Virginia Crapo leaves her good- naturedness to Muriel Collins. Make as many friends as possible, Muriel.

26 eH ee we OCW Ne Bs The music lover in our class is Ale- thea Tripp. She has been a member of the Glee Club four years, Alethea was a member of the basketball team, a cheerleader two years, and vice-presi- dent of our class this year. Alethea plans to become a physical education teacher. Whenever you see Alethea you usually find her twin, for they are seldom parted. An active girl is Ethelyn Tripp. Ethelyn has been traffic officer and was a valuable member of the Brownie staff. Ethelyn loves sports and played on the girls’ basketball team. Her am- bition, like her twin’s, is to become a physical education teacher, The jolliest member of the class is Ernest Tripp. Ernest can usually see the funny side of everything. He has been our treasurer the last two years and had leading parts in both the jun- ior and senior plays. The youngest member of the class is Fred Webb. He was voted the class Romeo because of his attention to one girl in our class. Fred helped out on the gridiron the last year of foot- ball and also supported the Villager. ADVICE TO We, the graduating class of 1946, are about to leave, to you, the Juniors of Westport High School, a little ad- vice which will most likely go unheed- ed. In the first place, the study hall was made for the obvious reason of studying, although it never seems to be used as such. You should always remember that even if you have noth- ing to do, there are others who would appreciate an opportunity to study, You should respect your teachers and insist that the underclassmen re- spect them also. The teachers are only The most sophisticated girl among us is Marjorie Webb. Margy is a good sport and helped the girls’ bas- ketball team considerably this year. She was also an asset in the senior play. A tall, red-headed fellow, with plen- tv of fun up his ‘sleeve is Harvey Wescott. ‘Red’ is a good sportsman, and he enjoys hunting in his free time. “Red” and Jimmy are invariably seen together. Viola Wilson; the most thoughtful girl in our class, spends much time taking long walks with a member of the class. She did fine work on our Brownie and as Class Day Speaker, Arline Wordell is tall, slender, and well-dressed in clothes of her own de- sign. Arline’s evenings are taken up by a Westport high alumnus. We commend Arline on the way she kept our class records straight as secretary during our last two years and also on the fine job she did as editor-in- chief of our Brownie. Arline Wordell Alethea Tripp THE JUNIORS doing their job, so try to co-operate. It will pay dividends in the long run. The office is the place where busi- ness is transacted ; therefore, it should be kept free from crowds and noise. People judge our school by what they see and hear of it. Their opinion of this school will not be very high if they should telephone and hear a minor riot over the receiver. Back up school activities. Don’t leave everything up to someone else. The more you do for your school the more pleasure you get out of being a student there.
