l l 1 f' eg! 90lTHEl937C CLASS WILL We, the lads of the Senior Class, do hereby bequeath our earthly pos- sions and our blessings in the following manner: First-To our Head Master, Dr. lslay E. lVlcCormick, we leave one momentous day in the life of the Albany Academy in which no one will be found in the bell tower, no one will walk on the grass, no one will be late to chapel, and no one will purchase anything from the ice-cream man across the street. Second-Mr. l-larold T. Stetson is left the courage, the strength of mind, and the unprecedented audacity, not to excuse on each drill day the entire lower three forms. Third-To lVlr. Evan A. Nason we leave the management of the Athen- ian First Form Drill with hopes that he may make more out of it than the Sixth Form did. Fourth-Mr. Sharp is the recipient of a non-metallic wastebasket to absorb the sound of small pieces of chalk thrown into itg also a gigantic feather which he can hurl to the floor in one of his fits of rage. Fifth-To lVlr. Lawrence l-l. Pike we give three organs for the chapel so that he, lVlr. Dodge, and Miss l-lenshaw may accompany the school in a suitably inspiring way as it sings Play, Play the Cameug Mr, Pike's Alma Mater , and other selections. Sixth-To Mr. joseph B. Lindsey we leave a scholarship to the New York State College for Teachers so that he may learn of the methods and techniques of his alleged professiong and a position as hockey coach at Exeter Academy. Seventh-To Mr. Lyman B. Owen go several sixteen-millimeter reels of the motion picture entitled Northeastern l-lindustan, its Romance and Beauty to show to the school for several hours each morning, and some bathtubs with hot and cold running water to add to the comfort of the proposed utopian Fourth Form Room. Eighth-lVlr. William C-. Morris receives a stooge to act for him when he is in his moods. l-le is also to have Fall, Winter, and Spring Seasons at Camp Timlo. Ninth-To lVlr. David A. lvlidgley we give a cast iron window stick guaranteed to support the weight of any member of any Sixth l-listory, in- cluding Kattreing also constitution, destitution, and prostitution. Tenth-To lVlr. Eliot S. Adams we entrust with full confidence a job as leader of a Community Sing at a native village on one of the smaller of the yet undiscovered islands of the Pacific.

THE i937 6 W B Van Wie-The one thing that gave us a breath of sex during the day was Allen's Coy soprano voice breaking out into screams of laughter just as the room had quieted down. Saint Agnes, Guides Post, that violin of his, and the rifle club has had a weird affect on the lad. Wertime-No one has seen johnny for six months-we think he was blown away back in january. Wheeler-No one understands Tomg he'd rather go to bed at 9:30 on a Saturday night than stay up till one o'clock doing nothing fqueer duckll. We understand that Tom is potentially another Martin Luther. Wilkins-Earle wondered why they didn't flavor those rubber things on the ends of pencilsg he didn't know they were to erase mistakes lhe didn't even know there were such thinks as mistakesl, A lot of fellows were for calling off elections and proclaiming Wilk king: King Wayne sounds almost as nice as Wayne King. Willits-lf you find some one crawling up your back one of these days, it's either a caterpillar or Robert. We're still a little careful about calling Robert, Bob . Wisely-joe aspires to the hire arts. l-le can't make up his mind l?l . . . or at least he can't decide whether to go to Harvard or join de marines. The reason C company drilled was not because they wanted to, but because they got scared into doing it by their First Lieutenant. NS1 i3il scwcsst sscr 'tt 4 Page tlzirty-three vox X

El937CUlEQG9 Eleventh-To Mr. john H. Dodge goes the presidency of the We're just buddies Club which for several years he has been inspiring in an un- official capacity. He is given a pair of tights and some tap-dancing shoes which he, as president of the We're just buddies Club, is to use in daily demonstrations to his laboratory classes. Twelfth-To Mr. james B. Colton, Znd, we leave an ancestry from .the gods and pugnat from the verb pugno, are, avi, atus . Also each and every member of this year's junior Varsity Baseball Team and junior Varsities to come. Thirteenth-To Mr. Herbert F. Hahn we bequeath a class of twenty gullible young students unprejudiced by Republican parents with whom he may be for the first time successful in teaching his Socialist doctrines. Fourteenth-To Mr. William C. Ritter we leave ten dollars cash solely for the novel effect it will have on his pocketbook, and a row of apart- ment houses across from the school so that his Biology classes wont have to tramp over those muddy fields to see the first robin. Fifteenth-lVlr. Stephen Webber receives all rights for the use of the poem, Old Silas Webber , and a blackboard eraser with a hole for chang- ing a plus sign to a minus sign with a minimum of effort. Sixteenth-Captain Townsend can have the number one man, in the rear rank of the third squad of the second Platoon of C Company standing fast. Seventeenth-lvlr. Rankin R. Boone gets a long rifle, a lone prairie, some name less suggestive than Boone, and a volume of this year's Cues so that he may decide, better late than never, whether or not they are fit to print. Eighteenth-Colonel Donner we leave gladly. Nineteenth-To lvlr. William A. Crawford, jr., we give first the for- bidden fruit about which he had been wondering all these years. Then he gets manifest destiny and one or two pairs of rompers. Twentieth-To Althea goes a blushing young swain to take the place of her jimmy Colton. Twenty-first-To Emma goes our college board returns as they will be of no practical value to us. lil, lit ll .lil ill? J-. .
