A Page 13 CLASS WILL Ladies and Gentlemen, Board of Educatio-n, Superintendent, Teachers and Friends:- Upon behalf of my client, the Class of 1927, of Arriba High School, of the City of Arriba, State of Colorado, U. S. A., I have called you together upon this solemn and serious occasion, to listen to her last will and testament, and to receive from her dying hand the few gifts she has to bestow in her last moments. She has tried to be just, as well as generous and impartial, and to distribute wisely unto those who will make the best use of such gifts as she has in her power to bestow, the talents that have served her faithfully these four years. She hereby gives into your possession, praying that you will ac- cept Ihem as a sacred trust from one who has gone before. Listen, now, one and all, while the document is read as duly drawn up and sworn to: We, the Class of 1927, in twelve individual and distinct parts, being about to pass out of this sphere of education, dispose of the following in this way: Item : We give and bequeath to our dear faculty a sweet and unbroken succession of restful nights and peaceful dreams. No longer need they worry over us. It has been a hard strain on them for Seniors at all times are said to be difficult to manage. Item : We give and bequeath to our dear Superintendent, Professor R. C. Travis, our sincere affection, our deepest reverence, our heartiest gratitude and the wealth of our eternal memory. In attempting to pay for all he has done us, including the faithful instruction during the term at Arriba High, we make over to him, a heavy mortgage on our future in the Great Unknown Beyond. Item : We again give and bequeath to our beloved faculty, all the amazing knowledge and startling information that we have furnished them on various examination papers. We authorize them to give out such of this in- formation to the world as they may feel the world is ready to- receive. We trust they will also feel at perfect liberty to make use of all such bits of wis- dom and enlightenment for the education of the classes to come after us. This, of course, is left entirely to their personal discretion. Item : We give and bequeath to the Junior Class all the boys who could not keep pace with the brilliant girls who compose this Class. Item : . We likewise give and bequeath to this same Junior Class, as a stu- dent body, Theodore Kolassa's knowledge of Science, Art, and the Universe, in whole, or in part. VVe trust the class may be able to survive it.

Page 12 ' - -N g CHAPTER IV Now this, the fourth year, in the history of this great and wonder- ful Class of '27, has been one of hard labo-r and with little resting by the way- side. The pride of the Class having waxed great, they decided to adopt for themselves a seal which was set in a ring. It also happened that this great and wonderful Class did wish its Wisdom and history to be written in the great book, THE ARRIBANH, and so they chose from amongst them committees to write the Class Will, Proph- ecy, History, Song, and Poem. Now it came to pass that these Seniors gave a great play, Mammy's Lil' Wild Rose , for which they received much praise. From their number, were chosen great ones to sing in the Operetta, and to enter into the Literary and State Contests. At the end of their journey, they were feted by the Juniors who had heretofore shown little respect for the Seniors. Those who have toiled together and made this history are: Denver, of the House of Biby. Leonard, the only son of the House of Schrack. Cecil, the first son of James, of the House of Morgan. Mary, whose surname is Miller. Florence, the second daughter of Edward of the House of Swallom, who is a tiller o-f the soil. Mable, the most diligent daughter of the House of Peckham. Max, the second son, of the House of Hutchins, whom the Class of '27 did choose for President. Ted, a Kolassa, whose wicked eye has cast many an underclassman into a fit of fear. Flora, the eighth child, of the House of Fruhling. Agnes, Whose surname is Gourley. Evelyn, the first daughter, of the House of Smith, who is contem- plating changing her name, and Margaret, who speaketh these words of enlightenment to you. 6900 X4 of , Qp - .7 , ,lin VSV: fix-o O w,y3E','5f' 'fmilffar .

Page 14 W Item : The following may seem but trifling bequests but they are valuable assets to- those who receive them: First-To our sponsor, Mr. Travis, the profound admiration and ever-endur- ing friendship of the Class of 1927, individually, as well as collectively. Second-We give and bequeath to the Sophomore Class as a whole, the right to beco-me brilliant Seniors, and the eighth graders now to become jealous of them. Third-We give and bequeath to the Freshmen Class, any overlooked cuds of 4 gum. We have sometimes had to rid ourselves of these in too much haste to be able to choose the most desirable means of disposal. Fourth-To Miss Twist, the balance in our class treasury to be used in buying a pair of rubber-soled shoes for detective work. We are sure she will need these to keep track of the librarians to be. Fifth-To Mr. Nichols, we solemnly will the right to ruin his desk by calling the assembly to order with the gavel. Sixth-To Miss Brown, the right to have her English Classes buy as many En- glish books as she sees fit. Seventh-To Mrs. Flarty, we will the right to supervise the musical department in New York City, and to give a program whenever she likes. Eighth-To Stanley Gee, Cecil's gift of gab. Ninth-Florence wills her ability to sing in the State Contest to Johanna. We are sure she will sing in the contest anyway. Tenth-To George Youngdahl, Lenoard's ability to play basketball and also some of his lengthiness. Eleventh--To Clarence Reinemer, Denver's desire to graduate from high school. Twelfth-Ted Kolassa wills his quietness to Ray Ballard. Thirteenth--Max wills his beauty to anyone who may need such. Fourteenth--To Mary, Viola., Katherine, and Bernice, Mabel wills her studious habits. ' Fifteenth-Margaret wills her graceful slenderness to Agnes Davies, thinking she will gladly accept it. Sixteenth--To Zelda, Ethel, and Eva, Evelyn wills her ability in leading on through A. H. S., a certain Junior. Seventeenth-To Naomi Blair, Mary Miller wills her plumpness. We feel she will need it in playing basketball next year. Eighteenth-To Velma Clark, Agnesslsmaiiness. Nineteenth-To anyone who will accept, Flora wills her ability as Editor-in- Chief of the Arriban.
