THE HIGH SCHOOL RECORDER 13 aO:0:050:30:OSODODOEOEOEOEOEOEOEOEO:CK: CLASS WILL BY LEO AYEN Hear ye! Hear ye! Be it known to posterity that the graduating class of the Saratoga Springs High School desires to leave a last will and testament to in- sure a worthy distribution of its worldly goods tafter payment of all the funeral expensesD. A11 former documents made by same are hereby declared of no more value than this one and must therefore be destroyed. We, the 1932 graduating class of the Saratoga Springs High School, being of a sound mind and soundless body do will and be- queath the following: FirsteTo the J unior Class, a sense of dignity and achievement which we ourselves have possesssed and Which we trust they will possess as worthy successors. Second-To any Sophomores who have never talked, chewed gum, or passed notes in Mrs. Richardsonis study hall, the honor, privilege and what-not of acting as pages for the graduating class. ThirdeTo the Freshman Class, the most sincere hope that its members may really grow up enough to warrant the sophistication which that group at present attempts to possess. Fourth-To the student body not graduating, one copy apiece of the song, ttHow We,ll Miss You When Youire GoneiL-the said song to be sung with much Whole-hearted gusto at the commencement ex- ercises of the present Senior Class. Fifth-To future classes, the challenge to produce a school play of such merit as the one presented during the last year of the enroll- ' ment of the Senior Class. SixtheTo Miss Collins, a pair of grass scissors with which to cut out more efficiently the hair of her theory and harmony students who persist in such capital crimes as talking and gum-chewing. Seventh-To Mr. Gale, the latest Scribner publication ttMastery of Hypnotismi' in five easy lessons. Eighth--To Miss Gorman, a new paper cutter with Which to enact more efficiently the dagger scene from ttMacbeth together with every other incident ttbought before our very eyes,, by means of the present ttdagger , which shows signs of wear. Ninth-'To the afore-mentioned H. J . Collins, a book of compo- sition topics whereby she may request five thousand word themes upon

THE HIGH SCHOOL RECORDER 15 :OGOSOEOEOEOEOEOEOEOEOEOEOEOEOEOEOEO: MISS PEPPYtS DIARY March lleThis day to B2 Club to hear a much discussed debate on the value of manners to success. Came out firmly convinced that since our faculty confesses no need of them, no more do we. Shades of my friend Chesterfield ! March 22-Did split into twins, one half listening to dual debates with Glens Falls, in which Saratoga was doubly Victorious, the other half listening to the annual high school concert at Skidmore. Did boister- ously applaud our guest artists, Mrs. Wm Sexton and Mr. Stefan, the While commending our chorus and orchestra, less violently but none the less, sincerely. March 24-Did throw down my books to enjoy the last real holi- day before graduation. Anxious to return, however, to view the school play. April 6-To the school play, very brave indeed in satin and sable. Did hold myself in patience until the curtain rose to reveal the very competent cast in action. Somewhat dazed to see all more or less affected by the vicissitudes of a pill factory. Did marvel greatly at Edgar Ingmirets sideburns and Liz Lashefs cockney burr, while reflecting that Messrs. Ramos and Gordon had little real acting to do. Did applaud the successful coaching of Miss Smith and the labor of those back stage. Clapped long and lustily when Howers were presented the cast and also when the orchestra played. ttMusic hath charms? as has been said before on various occasions. So home, so to bed. April lzeThis day the Debate Club finished its annual trials. Did laugh to see Donald Peets as prosecuting attorney win every case he tried. Do fear me he has some occult power over J udge Nachman. Sentences were, apt-Miss Phair to feed peanuts to members of the club and Miss Lasher to apologize publicly for various and sundry remarks concerning Utica. Hilariously home and to bed, resolving never to get involved in court again, even as spectator. April 14-In chiffon and pumps to Skidmore to see Virginia Phair carry away the Skidmore public speaking cup, making Saratoga
