Lucy, we hope you will be able to carry on as efficiently as Madeline has in the past. Rose Preli gives to Mary Bottasso some of her dignity so that Mary’s presence may be duly impressive. Waldo Pinney wills to John Marconi his bicycle. Now, John, there is no reason why you cannot deliver your newspapers and still get to school on time.

Robert Taravella and Anna Shykula will to Angelina Antonacci a florist’s shop. Hereafter, Angelina, when you wish to bring the teacher a bunch of flowers, you won’t have to go out after school looking for them. Thomas Connolly bequeaths to Louis Camp his great ability to play golf, and also his favorite “mashie.” With these, Louis, you will make the eighteen holes in less than 197 strokes. Shirley Jackson bequeaths to Caroline Matroni a Dream Book. Carrie, if you ever droam of a fellow, and become excited over his looks, just refer to the book and there I hope it will say, “You will meet your f te within a month.”
