me ihr Snnmrrang Q o East IBill nnh (Irstamrut nf thr (Class nf '22 E, the exalted Senior Class of Avon Community High School, being of leasonably sound mind in spite of all evidence to the contrary, and real- izing that we have lived our allotted time in these hails of knowledge and that therefore we are about to depart from the blissful state of , desire the disposal of our valuable effects to be in accordance with this, our last will and testament. First—To those who remain behind, we bestow our superior intellectual ability, our amiable dispositions, and our delightful manners, to be held in trust by our mutual friend, the Janitor, and doled out in small portions when needed. Second We, as a class, give to any student who wishes to avail himself of the opportunity, the privilege of taking any subject for as many consecutive years as the faculty deems best. Third—-I, Eula Botkin, do leave to Dorothy Nessel my executive ability, fliita- tiousness, and coy little ways. Fourth I, Vera Brandt, do bestow upon Ronald Hectorne, the power to hit the Mark, providing that he pick her up after she falls for him. Fifth—I, Verne Conway, do give and bequeath to William Carroll my position of honor at the right hand of all teachers in the study hall. Sixth—I, Florence Day, do will and impart my gentle disposition and habit of direct obedience to my freshman sister, Orel. Seventh—I, Rollin K. Douglass, Treas. A. C. H. S. A. A., Treas. Class of ’22, B. B. manager. Business Mgr. of “Boomerang,” and Gen. Mgr. of everything else, do leave to Klaus Nordgren my esteemed position as holder of the above offices, with the confident hope that he may fill the position with credit. Eighth—I, Raymond Drake, do hereby will my unexhausted scientific knowledge, and my privilege of sleeping during school hours to the Right Honorable Arthur Gillette. Ninth—I, Sadie Kreps, grant to Lucille Bell my right to sit at the head table in Physics class. Tenth—I, Nettie Mills, do hereby bequeath my quiet ways to certain noisy Juniors, trusting that the acquisition of the above-mentioned quality will increase their popularity with the faculty. Eleventh—I, Edith Pool, do impart to Anna Gray my “gift of gab.” Twelfth—I, Eileen Spurgeon, do will and bequeath my popularity to any Sopho- more girl who is clever enough to retain it. Thirteenth—I, Irene Spurgeon, do bestow upon Corinne Yeoman my artistic abil- ity, in order that she may be my successor as official school artist. Fourteenth I, Doris Sundberg, in conjunction with my constant companion, Vera, do hereby bequeath our favorite expressions—“Oh, you darn fool!,” “Hot Dog!” and “Oh, blooey!”—to Douglas Spenser, that he may acquire the ability to converse in- telligently when occasion demands. Fifteenth—I, Philip Sundberg, do leave to Darwin Dallefeid a round-trip ticket to Prairie City, non-transferable and void except on Sunday evenings, in the hopes that he may develop my Monday morning yawn and perpetual bad cold to serve as an alibi. Sixteenth I, Howard Tatman, do transfer my book on “Successful Yell-leading” to William Carroll, empowering him to lend it to all others desiring to fill this po- sition of fame.
