Being on the point of going From the sunny Land of Learning, Never to return among you, Do bequeath to our inferiors, Otherwise known as our schoolmates, Do bequeath to our superiors, Otherwise known as our teachers, All the riches we are seized of On this evening of departure, Saving such as we so cherish That we never can relinquish. ITEM 1: To the Board of Education, all my power of seeing through a stone wall; that power which, in time past, has made my course in life so spectacular, and the lack of which has brought my career to an ignominious failure. My legacy to the Board of Education, the power of seeing through a stone wall, is given in order to save the legatee from future serious disaster, and because it is evident that said legatee is expected by the community at large to possess this great gift. ITEM II: To the faculty of the St. Edward high school. I give and bequeath and devise my visions, all in good and unhampered condition. By this gift they will be enabled to depict the future of all the girls and boys under their charge, and so wisely to arrange their lives from day to day. By the use of this gift. I know, they will avoid all mistakes to which all ordinary members of the human family are subject. ITEM III: To the Juniors, who will soon become Seniors, I bequeath all the mistakes, blunders, inaccuracies, and lapses committed by me during the last exciting year of my most exciting life. Mistakes seem to be the natural portion of youth, and by acquiring the mistakes of another, which never hurt so much as one’s own, the recipient may be spared making so many himself. ITEM IV: To the Freshmen and Sophomores, collectively and individually. I convey my power of saying the wrong thing in the right place, or the right thing in the wrong place. Just how this is accomplished I am not able to say. Each one- will need to work the matter out for himself or herself. There is no doubt that much benefit will result from the effort. Our large castles and estates in Spain, I give to anyone who cares to exercise the squatter’s privileges and take possession. While the habitations are now in fine repair, they must be occupied at the entire risk of the legatee. No accidents, whatever, may be made an excuse for demands upon any other beneficiary. I, Vaughn Anderson, a true Swede, do will and bequeath my white hair to Lorraine Ingberg. I, Harold Miller, will all my surplus freckles to Genevieve Hazlitt. I, Chalky Wake, will and bequeath my argumental talent to Sarah Lister. I. Ruth Wathen. will and bequeath my ability at getting caught chewing gum in the typing room to Leo Hall. I, Leda Slifer, do will and bequeath my place in front of the hall mirror, during noon hours, to Vernetta Campain. I, Grace Nelson, a very quiet and bashful girl, do will to Irene Shaffer my ability to giggle in History. I, Florence Nelson, commanding in stature yet frightfully modest, do will and bequeath by book on successful courtship to Odetta Kennedy. I, Clarisa Cruise, having been screly tried by my Ford Ccupe, do will this incumbrance to Iola Hirsch with all it’s bum spark plugs, broken fenders, honey comb tires, and leaky radiator. I, Frank Apgar, being a natural born leader, do will to Hazel Nelson my striking personality. I, Mel Rosencrantz, will all my malted milk tablets and cough drops still unconsumed to Don Curtis. I, Kathleen McCay, being dignified and egotistical, do will to Kathryn Koerber the task of looking after Frank Rockey. I. Anna Nelson, having a way with the teachers, bequeath to Blanche my knack of getting A’s.” (Keep it in the family. Blanche.) I.
