Class Will-1932 Stranger than fiction are the vagaries of the human intellect whose fantasies are particularly to be observed in the eccentric wills which have been recorded. Guided by the practice of gift giving, a custom which has come down to us through the ages, we. the Class of l932 of the Chillicothe High School. before disbanding, desire to dispose of our various possessions and treasures. As the Class is composed of intelligent and sensible youths. we trust that the disposition of her gifts will in no wise appear erratic or injudicious. but on the contrary meet with the whole hearted approval of our legatees. Item I. To our principal. to the faculty, and to all others who have shown so much interest in our work, we wish to extend our most sincere thanks. Item II. We give and bequeath to all present members of the high school and to all members of future years. an unfailing love for our Alma Mater and an undying school spirit. Item III. To the seniors of tomorrow we leave our sublime self conceit and all our indifference to criticism. Item IV. To the Thespians we bequeath our wonderful ability to inter- pret Shakespeare with so much originality that the author would not recognize his own work. - Item V. To the football team of next year we grant the privilege of reverently gazing at the trophies won by our team this year. Item VI. At this time we wish to thank the freshmen girls, who, in their class elections, showed so clearly their admiration for several of our more handsome senior boys. Item VII. Upon the underclassmen we bestow our seats in the Study Halls and all our Board Room concessions. Item VIII. To some ambitious and aspiring junior we bequeath Wilbur Coppel's ability to mismanage Miss Mathias' Trig class: granting the said junior the usual privilege of doctoring the little green book. Item IX. To the freshmen who will soon become sophomores we leave nothing because their self-appraisement will be such that nothing we might have would be regarded by them as worthy of their superiority. Item X. To Robert Herron we leave Vincent Kathe's ability to bluff the teachers. hoping that he may derive as great a benefit from this asset. Item XI. We most willingly give to Esther Cravens, Helen Thompson's journalistic talent. Item XII. William Bergman's blush and Bill Wisecup's nonchalant slouch we leave and bequeath to Richard McRoberts and John Hemmerle re- spectivcly. Item XIII. Upon some deserving under-classman we bestow Henry Herrnstein's ability to divert class discussions into more comfortable channels. Item XIV. With great fear and apprehension we bestow Arthur Francis' childishness upon Edward Fearney in the hope that he may entertain and amuse Miss Evens to an even greater extent. Item XV. To Donald Cook we bequeath Nick Holmes' unprecedented attraction for the feminine enrollment of the high school. Item XVI. To the juniors we give this last bit of advice,-do not become discouraged if you fail to measure up to our high standards. but, with the bright and shining example we have set before you, do your best and thus forge ahead. Besides these gifts we leave the tender memories of our pleasant associa- tions with one another, together with a pledge of mutual friendship that may last through future years. We do hereby constitute -and appoint, without bond, Mr. J. V. Ladd sole executor of this, our last will and testament. In witness whereof, we, the Class of 1932. the testator, have hereupon set our hand and seal on this twenty-third day of May, in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and thirty-two, in the presence of two witnesses. Norma Jean Phillips. Signed. William Stalldermarl. Senior Class of 1932. -Paul Hydell. page twenty-six
