Frenziedly trying to keep up with the two doctors is Norma King, their valuable secretary. Their invented medical terms tax the spelling ability of poor Norma, who never knows what is coming next. Whenever she wants to check her words, she calls the former Betty MacDonald on the phone. Betty is willing to leave the kitchen of her Cape Cod cottage to try to help Norma out. Speaking of cottages, I was told the other day that Milton Cook had' visited Marjorie Avery Green's home in an effort to interest her in a re- ducing drug he had just discovered. It was guar- anteed to take off fifty pounds in five months, but Marjorie still isn't interested in reducing! Another Marjorie I saw recently was Marjorie Holland, who wanted to take my picture-I was to wear my latest creation, the Fruit Basket of 1953! After seeing it, she changed her mind. While I was waiting in Marjorie's studio, I couldn't help admiring the artistic portraiture of Junior Cavic- chi, Helen Cunningham's youngest. Winnie Hig- gins, dressed as usual in her latest creation, is Marjorie's reception clerk, she knows just how to pose the clients to their best advantage. Any- one overcome by the Kleig lights of the studio can be resuscitated by Margaret McIntosh, Marjorie's studio nurse, now working here in the United States but expecting to leave any day for the Burns Memorial Hospital of Edinburgh, Scotland. With Good Afternoon to some of you, Good Evening to more of you, and Good Luck to all of you, this is Hedda Hopper Payne signing off for W. H. S. of the Amalgamated Radio Chain.

Irene and I have drawn up a will, leaving to the Junior Class and others the characteristics, abilities, and attributes which have enabled the Class of 1943 to have had so suc- cessful a four years in high school. On behalf of our client, the Class of 1943 of Whitman High School, we have called you to- gether on this solemn occasion to hear her last will and testament and to receive from her the few gifts she has to give in her last moments. She has tried to be just, as well as generous, and has distributed these gifts as wisely as possible in these times of stress. These are her decisions, finally arrived at after long and deliberate consid- eration. She begs us to state that she may possibly have been mistaken in her inventory, but such things she thinks she has, she hereby gives into your possession, hoping that you will accept and treasure them as the years go by. Listen, then, as we read this document, duly drawn up and sworn to: We, the Class of 1943, wish to bequeath to its members and friends the following: To Mr. Bayley, our principal, our sincere ap- preciation and deepest gratitude for the help he has given us. To the faculty, our gratitude for guiding us so untiringly over the paths of learning. To the members of the Junior Class, the ability of the Senior Class to walk to the school dances and activities through this period of rationing. To the Junior Commercial group, that interest- ing task of working at the Rationing Board every other two weeks. To the Commercial pupils taking over the lunch- room accounts and management of funds, Beverly Blanchard's and Jimmy Riddell's ability to keep the books balanced. To Mr. Lane's future helpers in the supply closet, Francis O'Rourke's and George Perry's ability to have a place for everything, and every- thing in its place. To the president of the Class of 1944, the execu- tive ability of Francis O'Rourke. To Barbara Harper, the management of the Girls' Basketball team, and the hope that she will continue the fine work that Cynthia Wladkowski has displayed as manager during the past year. To those boys who qualify for the positions held by Burt Smith, Gunner Hayes, Harold Green, and William White, the football suits worn by these outstanding players.

The school entered the Treasury Jeep Contest in March, agreeing to purchase five jeeps at S900 each within six weeks. The quota was oversubscribed by 3500.
