Class Will Being of a sound mind and of a disposing disposition, I, as the representative of this Senior Class of Ashley High School, do hereby will and bequeath the following articles: To the Board of Education, that has so generously provided for us during these four years past, | I do hereby bequeath all the broken window panes and chairs, the finger prints on the-walls, and the ink stains on the floors and desks, these same to be held in-trust for the succeeding grades. To our highly esteemed principal of public schools, Mr. Frederick, I bequeath the new book of — rulés that this present class has labored over so faithfully for the past months; said book containing provisions for an increase of holidays to one, bi-weekly, changing the hour for opening of school to nine o’clock, instead of eight-thirty, and closing at one, with two recesses — fifty-nine minutes each. Said book also recommends the purchase of a silver waiter, on which the credits of promotion be presented to the pupils, instead of the old way of studying for them. To our much loved teachers, each and every one, I bequeath a liberal yearly anunity of examination papers to grade, note-books to correct, and averages to make. To the library I bequeath all the detective stories, Wild West Magazines and other junk we prized so highly and read so carefully all year. To the janitor of this Ashley High School, I bequeath all the mud we have tracked into the building, all the chewing gum, so generously stuck on the floors, and the millions of loose papers in the lockers and desks. To the Junior Class, following us, Ido hereby bequeath our old seats, with the tacks that tear our clothes; our lockers, which will nat lock, our old books with most of the leaves loose or gone; all the mistakes we made, and all the knowledge we failed to learn. To that same class, I bequeath the proud privilege of being Seniors and lording it over the younger ones, of always heading the lines and getting the choicest seats and food during lunch. To the Sophomores, following us, I bequeath our dignity, all our old notes which I'm sure they would prize as highly as we have and any other junk they find lying around. To the Freshmen, who are the babies of this crop, but sometimes act older than we do, all the . book reports we left half done, our years to use and years to come. Lastly, we, the following individuals, do hereby will these our most prized possessions. I, Janice Allen, will my calm and quiet ways to Mary Biggerstaff. I, Pearl Bailey, will my knitting needles to Eno Hartman, in hopes that he will bécome a better knitter than I am, I, Annette Bender, will my quiet voice to Judy Biggerstaff. I, Janet Brand, will all my money and money bags to Mrs. Everitts so she doesn’t have to snitch them. I, Paul Chavez, will my ability to go with girls to Chuck Mergy. I, Richard Childs, will my loud and boistrous ways to Frank Stoy. I, Jay Freed, will my chair in English class to a dear Junior who will probably wish he would hav paid more attention. I, David Hamman, will my static electricity to the school so the light bill won't be so high, I, Janet Harmes, will all my successful’’ experiments in Chemistry to anyone who knows what they are doing. I, Joan Hartsock, will my ability to always be in a hurry to Dollie Arney. I, Carl Kessler, will my sense of humor to Charles Hertel.
