Qf,v, xlOVOVOVOV9v9VOv0v0VOl,OvOV0vOx, Ovoho . o A'A'A'A'A'A'A' A'A'1 By Victoria Silveftrz' and Eva M iller We, the Class of 1941, having successfully worked and played together for four years, do leave to its friends and members the following attributes and properties: To Mr. Bayley, our principal, help throughout our four yearsg to Mr. Lane, our aid, to our class Aldrich, to our for his untiring vice-principal, for his guidance advisers, Miss Collins and Mr. honor-part advisers, and to the faculty, we leave our sincerest thanks. To Warren MacLaughlin, Maurice Schindler, and Clayton Coggan, a long chain, so that the chain gang will not dissolve. We hope it doesn't lead into hot water as it has in the past. To Hazel Jones, a lark, on condition that she teach it to sing as beautifully as she. To shy Eldon Lonergan, a spelling book to help him overcome his bugbear. To Eva Miller, her courteous poise, which is an asset we all envy. . To Charles MacDonald, a small, lone building marked Chemistry Laboratory, so that he may blow it up without too much damage-except to himself. To Hope Ridley, her title of Skirt and Sweater Girl. Hope has an inexhaustible supply of them. To Stanley Randall, stilts, so that he will be able to reach the other fellow and sidestep those black eyes. To Gladys Daigle, a cookbook, which will prob- ably come in handy in the near future. To Kenneth Packard and Arnold Cross, guns, for the hunting which affords them so much pleasure-we've often wondered what tall, dark, and handsome men hunt! To Robert Jenness and Charles Lemieux, beds in which they may now sleep in comfort. To Pauline Beauregard and Frances Torrey, a dictaphone on which to record their many secrets. To Edward Foster, the title of Poet Laureate of Whitman High. Eddie can write poetry quick as a wink. To Gloria Taboroni, magic dancing slippers and Leroy Weldon, his ingenuity for making up tricky steps, to help them dance their way to stardom. To Adeline, Jacqueline Gaudette, and Evelyn Brown, blinders to protect people on sunny days from their flashy colors. To Wallace Sayce, a bottle of slickum to help take out the curl in his hair. Wally would trade his hair for a straight toupee-Girls, take notice! To George Hoffman, instructions in Palmer Method Handwriting. To Gladys Tamkun and Frances Harrington, their intellectual ability. These girls share equal honors at the head of our honor list. To Gloria Lahey, a livery stable. QTO make her more comfortable weive put in a donkey, too.J To George Kelley, his distinctive English accent. To Helen Kane, a damper for her giggles so that she may have some for future use. To Ruby Martell, a ruby jewel. To Mary Hogg and Patricia Royce, their flair for clothes. To Warren Linn, his rightful title of Length To Ada Bodycote, the question mark, which is always coming from her blue eyes. To Norman LeGallee, our president, Paul Baker, and Vincent Bubieniec, large pads of paper on which to doodle. We suggest that they make out a code that will enable us to decipher their mental ramblings. To Walter Morgan, a pair of roller skates with which to glide under the stars with his sophomore heartbeat. To Burton Drake, the great outdoors. We would also suggest a treaty of peace to iron out a few ruffles with the Student Council. To Mary Joy, a show case in which to put her future cups as evidence of her gymnastic ability. To Vernon Blanchard, a baseball and football team, so that he may manage them as well as he has our teams in the past. To Charles Tufankjian, an airplane, since even an automobile has not been fast enough to get him to school on time. To Marilyn Meserve, a new chauffeur. She can also stop for Shirley Staples in her race against time-the eight o'clock bell. To Lillian King, a club in case her power of sell- ing ever fails. Lillian has the ability to sell fur coats to Africans. To Amos Brine, a kettle of cold water as a wel- come change from the present temperature. To Sally Irving, a notebook in which to write her formula for keeping happy. To William Moffatt, a portable encyclopedic library from which to continue consuming in- formation. To George Ferris, a diamond, either for base- ball or for a third finger-Betty will decide. .'A'A'A'A'A9 x'A',G

Clark Gable . . . .stenography notebook As we leave Whitman High, may we pause a while Fond mem'ries of friends and of teachers too And look back over the years- We will cherish year after year Happy days were they-many joys were ours- Though our paths never cross, we will e'er be true Laughter taking the place of tears. To these friendships we hold so dear. But now we must turn from these carefree days But now that this moment at last has come, Before us new tasks unfold We will part with a sad goodbye We will strive to uphold all the standards high To the happiest days that we ever knew- As we firmly seek our goal. Days we spent in Whitman High.
