TO WHOMEVER IT MAY CONCERN: We, the members of the Senior Class of the Whitman High School, of the Town of Whitman, of the County of Plymouth, in this great Common- wealth of Massachusetts, being of sound mind and memory, and realizing that the time has come for us to pass from this institution of learning which has endeared itself to each and all of us, do make, publish, and declare this, our last will and testa- ment, in manner and form as follows: To Mr. Bayley, our principal during four of our happiest and never-to-be-forgotten years, we leave our sincerest and deepest gratitude for his never-ceasing aid. To Miss Allen, a notebook for all the unusual and time-worn excuses she gets. To our sometimes exasperated teachers, the following good wishes: To Mrs. Lapworth: the hope that she won't have the continuous talkers we have been. To Miss Tinker: the patience to stand future Seniors as she has us. To Miss Brega: someone to take Cliff Strath- ern's place. To Mrs. Payton: an active executive committee to help her through the trials and tribulations of the Senior activities of next year. To Miss Kirby: some Seniors who can add and write so it can be read. To Mr. Leavitt: our best wishes wherever he may go. To Mr. Kelly: a little something to make him smile. To Mrs. Mclnnesz the hope she may have an- other interesting History Class. To Mr. Lane: a classroom of his own. To Mr. McKey: test tubes to replace those broken by Seniors. To Miss Moore: a brilliant student in American History. To Mr. Knox: a new badminton set to keep on with the series he inaugurated. To Mrs. Hunt: a cook book with recipes that are guaranteed to be perfect. To Mrs. Pratt: a new dummy on which to fit the fashionable dresses produced by her classes. To Miss Johnson: an athletic lield belonging to 22 the girls alone. To Mrs. Avery: sincere appreciation for her help in making our Senior Class Play and our Yearbook successes. To Miss McCausland: some grass seed guaran- teed to make her lawn grow. To the underclassmen who will follow in our footsteps we bequeath these, our most precious possessions: Angie Bagnulo's beauty to Evelyn Blanchard. George Bayley's place at the piano to Grace Avery. Shirley Chapman's twirling ability to Dotty Coates. James DaSilva's wit l?j to those who desire to hear it. Virginia Dyer's wavy hair to Hazel Weeden.
