THE DIAL 13 East will anim testament XVe, the class of nineteen hundred and thirty-two, of the Brattleboro high school, situated in the metropolis of Brattleboro, county of Xvindham, state of Vermont, do solemnly declare that we do in our con- science believe that five and five make ten, and that in three years ten will be no more or no lessg that we shall long live to call black black and white white: that whosoever believes to the contrary, is automatically. and henceforth, an enemy to the sacred, peace-loving and forever-enshrined class of nineteen hundred and thirty-two., VVe will name the streets in Brattleboro alphabetically. for Sitting Bull Le Bert, so that he may learn his A B C's. For four years, modesty has been the guide and inspiration of our class, so, with much dignity, we request Tiger Jack Emery to see that the above-mentioned qualification is maintained by the future senior class at all times. Having bought Mr. Miller's last year's Packard, at an auction, we generously give it to General Hitchcock, and permit him to ride back and forth on the skating rink. Maybe he will succeed in wearing down a cellar hole for the new gymnasium. To Ellie Rice, Betty Fitch, Florinel Ferriter, Emily Crosby and Esther Crane, we leave the sole privilege of using the school library as a cafeteria and lunch-room during each and every recess, for a period of the next three years. We give to Mary Caprarella the title of B. H. S. Prima Donna. To Dan Barber we bequeath the arduous task of assisting and substituting for Miss Henshaw in her Geometry classes. The mule formerly owned and operated by Ben Blodgett, we leave to Dick Graves. He can practice football tactics with it. To Bob Moore, the captaincy of the 1950 football team is gladly offered, upon condition that the team be coached by Mike Searles. Columbus Aspesi's Old Gold Complex- ion ancl Palmolive Cough in a Carload are awarded to Boob Klinefelter. To VVally Johnson we proudly leave a permanent seat in the afternoon session room, instead of an indefinite one. From this day hence Admiral Sylvester of the Qllaaa nf 1932 C present admiral of the Swiss Navyj has the right to adopt his own marking system and a new dictionary, which the teachers will End much easier to receive passively. To Fletch Manley we assign space in the First floor corridor for the site of a pea- nut roasting machine, to be in operation only during school hours. For an advertis- ing scheme, we request that Cliff Agnew play upon his trumpet that melodious and popular song 'iPeanuts. To Don Baker we leave all of the seniors' extra points, which will enable him to sit back and graduate in l94?. Glid McGreevy will have a clearer un- derstanding of birds after we offer him this secret. He always wanted to know how to tell a she bird from a he bird. Pull its tail-if he chirps, it's a he bird, if she chirps, it's a she bird. To some lusty member of the junior class we leave the right to guard the portals of Room twenty, as did our noble Apollo QA-Paul-OJ, with the golden hair. NVe leave to Snip Snay one tablespoon- ful of perseverance. It was too bad that he was expelled from his former school. He called the dean a fish. He kept saying to him: Yes, sah, dean! Yes, sah, dean! He will hereafter take English from Miss Lord and cure his Southern drawl. We proudly leave to Brick Rand the sole right to sit for hours at a time, gazing at the portrait of Napoleon that adorns the wall of room 24. Poor Brick. He doesn't see why . . . Nap was a runt, too. Tip Shaw never quite knew what Ath- lete's Foot was. VVe leave him a clear understanding. Here it is: Athlete's foot is composed of twelve itchesf' W'e hope Bob Dunklee will be president of the U. S. A. some dayg but Bob says that he doesn't want to be, because Capone made that much in a day. VVe leave to King VVatson an indoor gymnasium. It will have a special vault in which he may keep his medals. VVe suggest that the electricity class of the physics department adopt as their class song, OHM, SVVEET OHM. VVe appoint Speed Fairman the sole keeper of all rifie and absent reports, to be brought down to the Armory every recess. Vile leave to Billy Porter the sole privi- lege of conducting a riding class in back of the school building. If it is found necessary to build a stable for the plugs --what could be a better foundation than Mr. Johnstou's hockey rink? To Red Vincent we bequeath the right to pose for pictures advertising Grows More Hair hair tonic, Guaranteed to sprout fluffy hair, even on the baldest heads-is also good for lumbago, and kills dog fleas in- stantly. Before two witnesses, who accepted the arduous task of scanning this sacred docu- ment, we have hereunto subscribed our names this eighteenth day of June in the Lord's year nineteen hundred and thirty-two. -NVILLIAM KNIGHT BOND '-JAMES COOLEDGE FITZGERALD Witnessed by: CSignedj -RICHARD FREDERICK TRACY -ALLEN DANIEL HERBERT CLASS ESSAY fContinued from page 63 ever written. His early life in the back- woods, his pure love for Anne Rutledge and his great sorrow at her death, his trials and sorrows at the White House, and his death by a fanatic's hand are portrayed with a wonderful simplicity and charm. After seeing a picture like this, one can imagine he has known the character, and can remember him as a friend. History can be made to live before one's very eyes! In this same manner geography can be made an interesting study. Life in foreign countries is always fascinating. The food, the clothing, the work, and the customs of different people are matters of interest and curiosity to everyone. A child usually has, buried down deep in his heart, a desire to travel in foreign countries when he grows up. He wishes to see the strange animals about which he has read in his story books and geographies. He wishes to see the mountains, the rivers, and the deserts, that he has traveled in his dreams. The motion picture almost brings this dream trueg for tContinued on page 433
