CLASS WILL, 1956
We the class of '56, obviously unsound in mind and body, but, thoroughly happy, reluctantly part with the following, our most
and beloved possessions, and pass them on to the coming
ninth grade:
Jae leaves to Sally her portable gym (Jim) for those few
pressed minutes before the game, while Barbara gives with
reluctance a few of Mr. Langstaff's favorite manuscripts to Celina. Nat gives to Bee a book appropriately entitled "The Birds and the Bees" and Anne BoIton-Smith abandons her
healthy, wholesome, American blush to Marjie. Marion leaves
her Ph.D for arguing to Judy, while Camilla leaves her four
octave laugh to Susy Sweenie. Robin kindly leaves a pedigree
to Anne Morton, showing that through great research Annie is
no relation to Mr. Morton, and Ellen leaves her hard-earned
Harvard letter to "Tiger" Huettig. While Belinda Breezes
through Anne's Palms, she leaves several coconuts so that
eventually there will be more little .Palms, and Diana leaves
her surplus of noise to Miss Loud. June leaves that envied
casualness to Cool Susie and Charlotte tearfully parts with
her exquisitely cultivated giggle to Angie. Carol Maxwell,
not a powder, not a grind, leaves her millions of tiny flavor
buds to Barbara Crawford as Marcia leaves her disgustingly
neat habits to Kathy. Cynthia leaves her long-playing
record "if you're lonely" to Vin, and likewise Rebecca tenderly parts with her autographed bird book PaTuf AtTica
pilluffoT The Common Man so that Marcia can relax with
some easy reading. Bunny charges Wendy with her Easter
egg, and Lucy simultaneously yields her sedative to Courtney.
Captain Pam leaves her ninety foot yacht in Janie's Pool
but warns there are mice in the hold. Martha leaves her
lower school feeding license to Anda so that she will be
safe from Sargeant Seth, and Betsy bequeaths her outgrown
elevator shoes to Jo. Paie leaves the camel which she shot
herself to Liz in case she ever has to patch her- polo coat, while Laura leaves her beloved permanent sun tan to Eleanor.
Anne Severy, more commonly known as "Harmonizing Hannah,"
presents her own album of the "Bearcats Quartet" to Liz
Coffman, and likewise Janet leaves her "I like Ike" pin to
another devout Republican, Patsy. Claire leaves her key
to the impossible to Roz, hoping she will follow in her foot
stel"s, and as much as she hates to part vvith them, Melza
leaves her many souvenirs from boys' schools to Bebe Dick
son. Nerissa leaves her membership card to the" Associa
tion for the Advancement of Pleasure Seekers" to Nancy,
in hopes that through this disciplined training she will
become another great American. Rebecca leaves a mega
phone to Louise so she can make herself heard, while Kathy
leaves her title of "Miss Perpetual Motion" to Beryl slo-cum.
Rica parts reluctantly with her appointment card to Dr.
Guggenheim Shnitzelfritzer, an eminent orthodontist, to
Carolyn, while Sarah leaves her Shapely Dictionary so that
Alice won't Fale. Eloise leaves her pamphlet of witty
basketball plays to Teddy; Lucy finally hands over to
Laura her secret solution, X-3 + ~MQW, for growing hair
quickly that she figured out practically all by herself with
a little help from her father, and Jae leaves her camou
flaged baby portable radio to Sandia in hopes that she will
never miss a game.
And for our smashing conclusion, we depart with our
last and most precious property, 35 tickets and free
parking to "Will Success Spoil the Ninth Grade?"
