THE TEKOA CLASS WILL Mr. President, faculty, students, and friends: We, the class of ! 35, who are about to die, salute you. Contrary to the custom in such cases, and merely at the behest of my noble client, ' 35, have I called you to- gether before her death to hear her will and receive her gifts. Only the unusual circumstances of my client could have persuaded me to take this drastic action and to reveal these dreaded facts: doctors whose prognos- tications have never been known to fail have announced that on Thursday, on the thirteenth day of June, ' 35 must die. I regret the sorrow I know this will cause you, and if I had realized before how badly you would feel, never should I have divulged this secret. It is my client ' s wish to state that owing to a heaviness in the vital organs because of thoughts of part- ing — and to feasting, and to a lightness in the head, the result of the grad- ual swelling during the last four years, she may have unwillingly made an error in her inventory. But she gives you all she thinks she has and pays that you do not believe that her generosity is due to her rapidly ap- proaching death. We, the graduating class of 1935, of the State Teachers College, in the city of Westfield, in the county of Hampden, in the state of Massachu- setts, being about to leave this sphere, in full possession of a sound under- standing, memory and mind, and of lawful age, do make and publish this our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all former wills by us at any time heretofore made. Item I : We give and bequeath to Dr. Russell, our esteemed President, restful nights and pleasant dreams. We are by no means unaware of the sorrow caused him by our predicted and inevitable death ; fearing, how- ever, that even so magnanimous a gift will not assuage our President ' s suffering, we leave in addition a jig saw puzzle of the Senior brain. May he in his rare spare moments be successful in putting together the glowing but enigmatic and often entirely unintelligible pieces. Item II : We direct that our funeral services shall be conducted by our sincere friends and well wishers, the faculty, only pleading that our funeral be carried on with all the pomp, dignity, and nobility that our position in the college after four memorable years has so justly merited. Item III : We leave to Miss Lammers, for four years our competent and loved advisor, the opportunity of guiding another class that is no less appreciation of her splendid co-operation than have been the present senior class. Item IV: To Miss Pratt we leave that corner in the library made famously infamous by the boisterousness of the Seniors. May the silence that will enshroud that place at our departure arouse only pleasant mem- ories as the years glide by. Item IV: To Dr. Crutsinger we leave the remembrance of a class sufficiently ambitious and enterprising to promulgate his progressive ideas in a country where the visits of undertakers to bigoted and unprogressive teachers and superintendents are far too infrequent. Item V: To Mrs. Brooks, a puppet cast, always to be available at scheduled rehearsals merely by the pulling of a string. This should be a page twenty-three
