 BERNETIAN Senior Class Will We, the Senior Class of ’25, while time and opportunity is ours, and lest death overtake us without the necessary documents providing for the proper disposal of our best, and most coveted school property, do hereby make our last will and testament: To the people of this district we leave the sole right to finance the next annual. To the Hoard of Education we leave the right to send their children to Dexter High School. To the janitor we leave, at last, the door keys. Tq Miss Baskin we bequeath the swimming pool in the new High School building to be used as her private bath tub. We direct that the sum of 51.13 be set aside for Dennis Walker, for the purpose of purchasing one jar of ‘‘Stay Comb” and one jar of Massage Cream, which we notice he has badly lacked during this term. We devise that the Junior Class be appointed executors of our estate; but require that they be placed under a bond of 59,999, owing to the fact that there are several male members in the class whose characters are questionable To Mr. Vick we solemnly bequeath our “shiekv ways” anl “sissy ideas.” Furthermore: I, Mary Machen. will my ability to read fast to Ruby Tuttle; also my peculiar laughter and wit to the rest of the Junior Class, as there is plenty for all shared equally; and. last, my ability to bluff the teachers, to Gladys Brock. I, William Harmon, will my winning ways and motto, “Silence is Bliss,” to Inez Barney; my most cherished and affectionate friend, Evadna Dickerson, to Mavres Jones; and all my dignity td Landen Brown, not that he needs it now, but might as a Senior. I, Yewell Lawrence, leave my ability to make E’s to Faye Hopkins, believing she might appreciate it; to Norma Black I leave my babish ideals and childish ways; and to Evadna Dickerson I will my high forehead, which denotes brains. I, Clarence Perkins, do abdicate in favor of Joe Nickols, my throne of honor, as being the most alert and active of students in Algebra Class; to Clarence Riley I will my right to take the Junior girls car-riding at any time; and to Floy Nichols I leave all my Whiz Bangs and other ten-cent novels, that gave me the inspiration to become a great poet. I, Anson Barney, bequeath to Mavres Jones my perfect aim at the goal, especially when shooting long shots; to Inez Barney 1 leave the writing of the class poem for the Class of ’26. wishing to keep the honor in the family; and to Joe Nichols 1 will all my earthly possessions, consisting of a pair of dice, a plug of Brown Mule chewing tobacco, and a jackknife. In testimony, whereof, we, the Senior Class, do set our hand and seal this first day of May, nineteen hundred and twenty-five. Signed: The Senior Class .=© Page Sixteen
