First: VVe do direct that aH our seats in the lecture roorns be sold at public auction for good current money, but not upon credit, and the amount thereof secured be expended upon the purchase of sheepskins for the grad- uating class. Our object is to aid them in obtaining their coveted degree of Batchelor of Stupidity. Second: We give and bequeath to our Junior class our dignity of mien and profoundness of udsdonr-ave suggemzthat dns be equahy dhdded among them as soon as possible. We give and bequeath to the class of twenty-nine our favorite book, Germelhouseng also our favorite duty, that of study hall proctor. With this latter gift we give some sound advice- Keep your eye on the key. To the members of the Freshman class, in order that they may not feel neglected, a period of audity during the summer to overcome their fresh- ness and verdure before entering as Seniors hithe faH. Pinky Sweet leaves her contagious giggle to Francis Babbitt. Blarnni Ehnbrook gives and bequeathes her retning disposnjon to Anne Lynch and Pat Oelhaf. Agnes Moran leaves her chewing gum to Jeannette Silverman. Now when Jeannette tells a story she will have a chance to stretch it. Gertrude Walton leaves her dignity to Pete Metcalf. Bob McElvein leaves her victrola to the girls in Hartwell. They can start collecting the pieces any time now. Mildred Berroth leaves her camp mirror to Midge Allen-now Midge can hold up the front tent pole which has a tendency to fall. Ruth Gardner and Greenie leave their red berets to Betty Lena and Mac MacGregor. The berets can't bear to be separated. Frankie Hoffman leaves the Doormat to Olive Chase. This Door- mat is not for dirt. l40l

r I iiuffw wra after an all-day ride in their personal pullman they were back welcoming their underclassmen. The dining hall buzzed with their stories until mid- years claimed first place in their attention. Plans for Cabaret were worked out, and later came their last Exhibi- tion, given now for the first time, before the general public. Father Time broke all previous records between Easter vacation and Spring Camp. Their class had just time for an educational trip to Middle- town, where Foxey fell for Ella, and to Hartford where Dr. Bretzfelder gave us enough time to go wrong. Days at Spring Camp passed full of fun and laughter. Again they left on a several day trip, this time in canoes. Camp was broken for the last time and they left -Silver Sands with a tear in each eye-sunburn on their noses and dirt scattered promiscuously about their person. Commencement week! Luckily the time was a little too full for long thoughts, and Commencement came and was gone. They awoke to find themselves back at the home from which they had started, but with a dif- ference-they were older, bigger and in both senses, broader. They had in their possession an all-important sheepskin, memories of fun and friends, and above all, a radiant readiness for whatever was ahead of them in life. Jennie closed the diary and looked around for her grandmother. Yes. There she was in the living room giving support while twelve-year old Junior learned back flips. Jennie, too, would go to Arnold, but little did she realize the importance of her decision as she sprawled there, knocking the ash of her cigarette to the floor from one spike-heeled slipper. That would come later. ELIZABETH W. PENNY, Class Historian. L393

rt l ...Mdlga GW..- Vera Isbell leaves the boy friends to Helen Hancock. We advise that Helen have scissors and locket on hand-Vera used them. Coxie gives her literary ability to Sunny Zahn. John Andrews gives his independence to Hilda Baker. Now Hilda can get from one class to another by herself. Bill Cook bequeaths his ability as a gymnast to Dot Chapin and Helen Gaughan, Erica consents to part with Emma Leary. She leaves her to Pamella. Emma Leary and a large flower on the shoulder will look so well together. Ralph Schnitman will furnish Peg Erlanson with a clown suit if Peg has not already one in her possession. Dixie leaves her haircomb to Marjorie Rosebrooks. We hope now that Marjorie will switch over to a new way. Gordon Heery is quite a gymnast, but we fondly hope that, as he is really young, he will not fall for every one as Red McGarr has been doing all year. Audrey Shannon leaves her school bathing suit to Mary Matych. It will be a little ahead of the times, but after all there is nothing like modern- istic form. Foxie gives her place in the Glee Club to Kit Allwein. Sam Bender refuses to leave Mike entirely to anyone, but the class of 29 may borrow him any time-providing they secure Mike's written per- mission. In witness whereof we have hereunto aiiixed our name this eighth day of June, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and twenty- eight. QSignedJ CLASS OF 1928.
