THE HIGH SCHOOL RECORDER 15 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE CLASS OF 1927 tDRAWN BY LUCIUS CROXTONl We, the Seniors 0f the Saratoga Springs High School, Lake Avenue, City of Saratoga Springs, County of Saratoga, State of New York, on the continent of North America, having been declared of unquestionably sound mind talthough we ourselves at times are doubtful of this factl by a young, gifted and somewhat normal would-be lawyer in our midst, the Honorable Deforest Lowen, do hereby draw up, establish, ordain and publish this document as our last will and testament. FirstzeWe do hereby command that all our just, unjust and otherwise ill incurred debts be immediately, expeditiously, and promptly paid from the fund we leave for that purpose. SecondzeWe bequeath to those numbskull Juniors, who some day may, we hope, be high and honored Seniors, those most precious lockers we vacate, as no longer able to surround our noble cloaks, hats, books and other such worthy equipment as only honored Seniors have the need for,-and such useful articles as the floors, walls, etc., which we have kept so clean and tidy in our year of supremacy-also we leave those time worn desks in 207 and 307, whose history dates back before the fire, and which must be guarded against the interest- ing monograms and uninteresting portraits of some unmanly lower classmen. Third :'-We direct that the most honored seats in the auditorium, those of the first four rows, be left to the aforementioned class of 28 and likewise the honor and obligation of suppressing unseemly demon- strations, suppressing all juvenile pranks, such as loud guffaws 0f mirth and outrageous hand clapping which spoil the pleasure of that wise, august and aristocratic body decorating the honored and coveted front rows in chapel. Fourthz-We give, devise and bequeath to some ttmanly young Junior, if one there be, the most marvelous genious and splendid vocabulary of our honored salutatorian, the Rt. Rev. Paul Kellogg. FifthzeWe who are Seniors in wisdom, knowledge and learning of all descriptions, do leave to the class of 1928 some sound advice which should be used, reused and used again. To those who would fare farthest into that sublime realm of knowledge and into the world of hardship and cold facts we bequeath the library, which we are leaving with our other beloved and cherished treasures and which will afford opportunities not to be gained in any other spot either within or without the sacred portals of our beloved institution.
