CLASS WILL We the Senior Class of 1935 being of sound and disposing mind and memory, do hereby make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament: To the Freshman class we bequeath our special ability to do things in a big way. In the next three years we hope they acquire as much ability as we now possess. To the Sophomores we leave our numerous maps, notebooks, “ponies” etc., to enable them to make the grade in American History. To the Juniors wc leave our dignity and the hopes that they will be able to carry it properly, although we doubt it very much. To Miss Jordan we leave a noiseless coal chute. To Miss Mann we leave self-closing lockers and noiseless halls. To Mrs. Crittenden we leave ten lessons in self-instruction on Pontiac driving. To Miss Graham wc leave hopes of a more industrious Home Economics class than she had this year. To Mr. Weine we leave a carton of unbreakable test tubes to use in Chemistry class. To Mr. Hawkins we leave a file of authentic excuses to use in detecting skippers. To Mr. Parsons we leave a can of Indian war paint and a new tomahawk. To Mrs. Bender, our sponsor, wc leave all our gratitude for having piloted us so successfully throughout our Senior year. Fred Arnold leaves the captaincy of the basketball team to “Fat” Gill. Harry S. Brown Jr. leaves his abundance of surplus “wool” to Mr. Bedinger. “Buster” Burgoyne leaves his place on the basketball team to Forest Kesterke. Max Christl leaves his Summerville “flames” to Bob Nightlinger. Marie Claypool leaves to Myrtle Dunkel-berg the right to be the first girl in the class of ’36 to wear a diamond.

Anne Kurnat leaves memories of a badly dented Oldsmobilc and heartbroken Freshmen. Edgar Kesterke leaves his position on the Quartette to Merle Spaulding. We hope he can carry a tune. Leonard Lewis and Stanley Lein leave their place in the Baroda Brawls to Louie Evans and “Pokey” Lewis. Lucy Marsh doesn’t leave her New Troy boy-friend to anyone. She says she wants him herself. Elmer Maynard just leaves school. He is taking everything else with him. Russell Myers leaves his seat in English class to Walter Mason. Allcen Norton leaves a democratic seat in the Economics class to June White. Bessie Olney leaves school with Elmer. Stephanie Podworska leaves her ability to blush at the proper moment to Ethel Hoekstra. “Babe Sexton leaves the Sophomore girl friends to next year’s Seniors.
