 THE CLASS WILL. 1928 We, the Class of 1928, of the Arlington High School, of the City of Arlington. State of Washington, U. S. A., in individual and distinct parts, be- ing about to pass out of this sphere of education, in full possession of a cram- med mind, well-trained memory, and almost superhuman understanding, do make and publish this, our last will and testament, hereby revoking and mak- ing void all former wills or promises by us at any time heretofore made, or mayhap carelessly spoken, one to the other, as the thoughtless wish of an idle hour. As to such estate as it has pleased the Fates and our own strong hands and brains to win for us, we do dispose of the same as follows: Item I. We give and bequeath to our beloved Superintendent, Mr. Bowman, our sincere affection, our deepest reverence, our heartiest gratitude, and the whole unlimited wealth of our eternal memory. Item II. We give and bequeath to our beloved faculty all the amazing knowledge and startling information that we have furnished them from time to time in our various examination papers. Item III. The following may be but trifling bequests, but we hope they may be accepted, not as worthless things lavishly given away because we can no long- er keep them, but as valuable assets to those who may receive them, and a con- tinual reminder of the generosity of heart displayed in our free and full be- stowal : 1st. To Lawrence Sessoms and Laddie Christiansen the ever-enduring friendship of Helen Thompson and Ethel Christensen. 2nd. To Bill Murphy, Charles Story’s bashfulness. 3rd. To all future Associated Students Presidents, George Wendell’s ability to convince Mr. Jerome of the said President’s unerring judgment. 4th. To Miss Noonan a crew for carrying the piano up and down stairs. 3th. To Kathleen Hart, Ida Borseth’s stature. 6th. To Cecelia Larson, Fern Muma's use of cosmetics. 7th. To Melvin Borseth, Vern Hild’s popularity with the girls. 8th. To talk with Lee and Louise in the halls we bequeath Marvin Grefs- rud and Conrad Espe to take the place of Hugh Sessoms and Jim Dunn. 9th. To Harry Hanson, Bill Reed’s boisterousness. 10th. To Oswald Anderson, George Preston’s speed on foot. I 1th. To Stanley Robinson, Lyle Lingo’s athletic ability. 12th. To Amanda Nickel, Clare Satra’s popularity with the masculine sex. 13th. To Ruth Lowe, Mildred O’Connor’s gift of gab. 24

To Carl Haiti, we leave Cleve Parker’s place as assistant truck driver to Mary Monty. 32nd. To Miss Fellers, we leave a Calumet Baking Powder cook book to be used as she sees fit, but it is naturally assumed that she won’t use it to teach Spanish or mathematics. And we do hereby constitute and appoint the said Principal sole execu- tor of this our last will and testament. In witness whereof, W e, the Class of 1928, the testators, have to this our will, written on one sheet of parchment, set our hands and seal this thirty- first day of May, Anno Domini, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-eight.
