Willing Notes Leaving our college means leaving behind treasured things that have been a part of us for four years. Being fair-minded and wishing to help our friends in the distribution of our goods, we hereby record our desires and ask that they be carefully fulfilled. We give our heartfelt thanks to President Sullivan and the entire faculty . . . To Miss Stafford , whose supply of patience must be nearly exhausted, we leave some of the patience which we learned in practice teaching . . . The knowledge of how to run a class efficiently that Miss Barlow gave us, we return to her to be passed on to future Freshman classes . . . The most precious possession of all, the wonder- ful feeling of being a Senior, we set aside for the elevated Juniors ... It is true that we learn by experience. Therefore we have provided for the Sophomores by sharing our apprentice teaching experiences with them . . . Of our very dear memories we leave the Freshmen a glimpse that will give them an idea of how marvelous four years of college can be. We would like to distribute our more personal possessions in the following manner: Helen Adamowicz leaves the honor of being Prom queen to future equally attractive Junior girls . . . Sylvia Badrigian leaves her dramatic ability to June Higgins . . . Alfred Barrios leaves his superior knowledge of decorating to Richard Buckley . . . Richard Boulay leaves the ability to go through college in nine easy years to Harry Howard and Ed McGee . . . Eileen Bouvier leaves her athletic genius to Edith Hill . . . Marjorie Carroll leaves her red billfold to Mrs. Mason and the Lost and Found Department . . . Mary Carroll leaves the position of typical S. T. C. co-ed to Nancy Curley . . . Madeline Dalton leaves her wealth of scientific knowledge to George Dahlquist and Chet Ruggles . . . Virginia Dillon leaves her friendly manner to her sister, Barbara . . . Dorothy Dunn leaves her interest in farming to Raymond Strickland . . . Norma Gardner leaves her ability to get along with people to Ellen McKeon . . . Katherine Govin leaves piano playing to Red Donahue . . . Geraldine Guertin leaves her position as Student Council president to some capable Junior . . . Patricia Hehir leaves her guidance of the Newman Club to Paul Murray . . . Catherine Hogan leaves the joy of rushing after trains to Virginia Bees . . . Rose Kaletski leaves .... in her new Dodge car . . . Doris Katz leaves her up-to-date wardrobe to Jean Williams . . . George Laird leaves his secret for getting along with women to Joe Deely . . . Mary Lou Lenk leaves her sweet manner to Anne Marie Owens . . . Shirley Libman leaves her A’s in American history and government to the future Sophomores . . . Mary Londergan leaves her willingness and cooperation to Barbara Wiseman . . . Barbara Looney leaves the knowledge of how to run teas and dances to Underclass social chairmen . . . Mary Murphy leaves her teaching ability to all future apprentices . . . Mary Osborne leaves the courage to be a Latin scholar to those Freshmen Mr. Jones hopes to see in 1949 . . . Jean Perkins leaves the secret of how to make friends and win a man to all envious girls . . . Edna Sansoucie leaves her good looks and friendly smile to Sylvia Jozefowski . . . Clara Saunders leaves her writing genius to the Acorn Staff . . . Louise Sella leaves her major in French to Walter Ouimette . . . Jean Sullivan leaves her scientific ability and name to the President . . . Frances Sweeney leaves an empty chair in the lounge to Eleanor Moranz . . . Mary Walsh leaves her position as sunny Senior president to Marjorie Frohock. And now having made known our wishes as to the disposing of a few treasured goods, we leave you with the hope that as you put them to use you will stop now and again to think of THE CLASS OF 1948 Dorothy E. Dunn
