pq THE ll lllll ESTEEMED COMPANY OF WITNESSES: The Senior class has felt for some time that its demise was near: we have felt that school was beginning to disagree with us cmd that the members of the faculty had conspired to accomplish the death of the most astonish- ingly brilliant class the walls of Atlantic High and the teaches thereof have ever frowned upon. The bitter doses of lessons we have taken with daily regularity have hastened rather than prolonged our class demise, and we know with sorrowful certainty that the hour of our departure is near at hand. Therefore, being so soon to pass from these scenes of educational activity: being in full possession of alert minds and memories that put the most extensive encyclopedias to shame: having faculties keenly sharpened by many contests with flinty instructors, we would publish to you upon this funeral occasion, the last will and testament of the Senior Class of 1952. I. We do hereby appoint and charge Patricia Ioslin, the lawful custodian of the class funds, to faithfully at- tend to looking up the numerous bills we owe and to settle all accounts of the departing class from the ex- hausted pennies of an already depleted treasury. No money are we taking with us from this expensive institu- tion of education, neither shall we leave any debts II. To the members of our beloved faculty, who look upon our demise with smiles of joy, we bequeath the satisfaction which comes from duties well performed, and a peaceful rest from the weary task of making our grad- uation shrouds. We also leave them a large amount of sympathy for their depressing attempts to pound knowledge into our craniums. In addition we bequeath them our regrets that their work with us was so barren of results -we leave them, but we don't leave them much! III. To the school in general we leave the out-of-the-way nooks where we have been wont to hide-usually in couples if the girls could inveigle the boys-to waste the time we should have spent studying. To the school library we leave the collection of volumes setting forth the charms, the escapades, the achievements, and the startling knowledge gleaned from our examination papers. These volumes will be written by the first famous author who offers a good price for so doing. IV. To the Iunior class, as our rightful and worthy suc- cessors. we leave Caj Our seats. Occupy them, but do not try to fill them. Cbj Our senior dignity. May they uphold it with becoming seriousness, endeavoring to overcome their usual hair-brained and frivolous flippancy. fch Our tendency to make a little knowledge go a long way in the classroom: also our ability to throw faculty members off the trail when they imagined we were bluffing. CdD Our abundant and reverberating class spirit and pep, with the right to terrorize the town and make nights hideous with soulful class songs and soulless class yells. Do your best to keep things stirred up, remem- bering that a little noise goes a long ways. Cel Our honored positions as models for the school- models of wit, wisdom, charm of manner. excellency of behavior, physical development, and intellectual ex- pansion. May heaven help you to stand up under this strain! behind us. .feaae ' . . Cfj Lastly, that which gives us the greatest pang to part with-our strongly entrenched places in the hearts of the faculty who have loved us devotedly because-they couldn't help it! Comfort them in their loss, but don't imagine you can mangle their hearts as we have done. V. To the vivacious and exuberant Sophomores we leave the right to prey upon the Freshmen, out of season and without reason, to unceasingly torture them-with the liabilities thereof! VI. The following valuable personal bequests, freely and fully given, should be treasured as a continual reminder of the abundant and overwhelming generosity of the class and the individuals thereof. We trust these respon- sibilities will be assumed promptly and bring important results. l. To our faculty members Mrs. Pt. D. Hoffmann and Mr. George Wuesthoff, a copy of Amateur Detective Sug- gestions, which we feel will be of great assistance in ferreting out the pranks of various students. 2. To the Principal of the school, the unfailing good humor of the entire class: we are certain he will need this in dealing with the seniors who succeed us. 3. To Miss Margaret McCrea, who seems too much wedded to her work as a teacher, we leave the book belonging to the girls of this class, How to Win a Husband. Eventually why not now? 4. To future class president, Maynard Reed, Peter Guzzi's power to preside with dignity that would do honor to cr Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. 5. To Ioanne Borsky we bequeath Ruth Madden's ability to put on a fine complexion. Save the surface and you save all. 6. To Kathleen Rosenberg, Shirley Andrew's art of vamp- ing faculty members-there's a reason! 7. To Ioseph Borsky and Richard Flatley, Michael Cin- kosky and Donald Bradshaw's ease in using long and high-faluting and impressive words. 8. On Barbara Stryker and Iune Loder, we bestow Alida Voorhees's sunny smile-it won't come off! 9. To Grace Bailey and Elizabeth Burlett, we bestow Martha Machette's luck in making delicious eatables in the Domestic Science class. They satisfy! 10. To Anthony Papa and Lewis Worth, Morton Ioy and William McGowan leave their powers of fascination. They have their steady now and they don't need further fascination. ll. To Mary Ellen Kozak, is left Solveig Friden's ability to Paddle her own canoe : Solveig has selected someone to paddle hers for her. 12. To Thomas Maffia, Robert Iunklemen, and Nancy Atlee we bequeath Henry Peste's and Donald Bradshaw's habit of spending two hours a day on his physics lesson -by sitting on the book while he reads yarns. 13. To Kay Anderson and Amy Schloeder, we give this package of dates because they have such an indifference for History that we are afraid without these they will never acquire any dates whatsoever. 14. To Iulius Swartz and Evelyn Leonard, we give this bottle of catchup hoping it may incite them to speed up a little and catch up with the rest of the Juniors in pranks of mischief and frivolity. 15. To Patricia King and Peter Hartcorn, being regarded by us as having unusual musical ability, Calvin Frazier gives them a harp.
