$ljarmakon Class tll We, The Class of 1941, sound of mind and memory, make this last will and testament, naming as beneficiaries the various members of the Class of 1942. To Norman Alterman we leave the saying “to be seen and not heard”. To one of the fairer sex, Janis Best, we bequeath a box of toothpicks to use as splints if she ever breaks another’s heart. To Oren Bigelow we will an engagement ring for her finger. To that cheerful Jack Caryl we leave a pair of pants and a coat so he can follow his father’s suit. For “Brenda” Colby, the glamour girl, we put aside a book “How to Get and Hold Your Man”. For Wilbert Cooper, that dashing gentleman, we leave Romeo’s Technique. We leave for Paul Crumley a pair of roller skates so he still can make classes on time if his car goes wrong. For Thomas Czaplenski we leave a little “English” for that ping pong ball—he’s vulnerable. Ah, Lester Decker, we haven’t forgotten you—to you we will the art of self defense —you’re so penetrable. To that little mayor, Albert DiDonna, we leave the flying wings of Gorden Fuller. To Fred Isabella we leave an audition appointment for Major Bowes’ program—his noises are terrific. To Gerald Kalcta we leave the South American way to rhumba. To Bernard Kendall, a little package with much excitement, we bequeath a date with one you admire. Next slide to George King is a siesta period so he can get caught up on lost sleep. For Gerald Messia we have a smile that goes with two brown eyes. To William Oberg we leave Casler’s doorway chats—they’re really very interesting. To Alfred Poskanzer, the man who’ll be back, we leave the art of self-control. For Robert Potcnza we set aside long hours for studying. For Robert Rees we set a stage with a starry night and a southern moon. To Edward Rogers we give a thesis on Fair Trade. It will always come in handy. To Arne Rovig, a quiet little fellow, we leave some argumentive ability. We endow Irving Sexton with a way to handle his women. To George Skinner we leave the deed to the Club “87”. For Warren Stone we have a packet of already signed excuses for cutting morning classes. To that mastermind, Donald Swayze, we give the “Einstein Theory of Relativity”. Last, but by no means least, we bequeath to Brooks Wood a trip to the beach at Bali Bali. Amen!
