THE PIONEER-Nineteen Thirty-one CLASS WILL Ladies and Gentlemen: It is with great pleasure that I appear before you tonight, as attorney for the class of 1931 for the purpose of presenting their Last VVill and Testament. The said Senior Class of 1931, realize that they are in possession of articles of price- less value, that if left to the class of 1932 would cause a great deal of consternation, it would be quite impossible to secure them individually, therefore we declare and publish this, our Last Will and Testament. We, the Class of 1931, having completed our scholastic year, though somewhat fatigued by incessant mental toil, but still of sound mind and understanding, do establish this our Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking and making void all former wills and testaments heretofore made by this class. As to our worldly estate, in case of our death in any manner, all property, real, per- sonal or otherwise which shall be in our possession at the said time shall be bequeathed and disposed of in the following manner: To our highly respected faculty and school board who have enabled us to acquire the knowledge of the ages, we bequeath a sweet succession of peaceful nights a11d dreamless sleeps. No longer need they ponder over our questions and lie awake nights meditating upon our possibilities in Regents. No longer need they be worrying whether their dear wards are pouring over their lessons of geometry, reading the fascinating pages of English literature, or tripping the light fantastic to the frightful strains of Modern jazz. Also in sincere recognition of their watchful care and imparted knowledge, we be- queath to our teachers the boundless knowledge and information that we have furnished them at various times in our examination papers. We realize that most of this informa- tion was entirely new to them and to most of mankind. To further show our appreciation of the help and knowledge bestowed upon us we leave to the faculty the following: To Mr. Henry G. Schrader, our benevolent principal and traffic officer we bestow a new pair of rubber tired roller skates that he may find it less tiresome to transport his bulky frame from one building to another as often as he finds necessary. To Mrs. Hatch we leave kind memories of past English and Latin classes. Many times we have felt grateful for some word of advice that she has given us in a moment of weak- ness or misdemeanor. To Mr. Brown we bestow the sweet memories of our Senior Girls. To Miss Wendy Darling Lutzholif we have the pleasure of leaving a pair of high top shoes and extentions for her dresses that she may look as old as her home-room pupils. To Miss Maude Warner we leave all the eighth period Freshmen that may come for the next five years. We are sure that with her .extremly efficient knowledge of psychology and sociology, she will be able to manage them far beyond the skill of most teachers. To Miss M. Francis Pratt we leave a printed certificate of reservation for a strong, healthy horse in the next circus. She will have the use of this horse throughout the day and evening. We are sure that this will quench her ever thirsty desire to leave these beautiful eastern states in preference to the more romantic scenery of the Great West. To Miss Swart we leave all the warts, pimples, sore fingers and what have you, that may be collected at the end of. the year. Also an abundant supply of germs and. bacteria is sure to .aid her in any surgical experiments that she may be making during her sum- mer vacation. To the Juniors as a class we bequeath the dignity of the Seniors and ask that it may be upheld with all seriousness and gravity in spite of their light mindedness and irre- sponsibnlty. Also we leave our beloved study hall. If, inadvertently, we leave erasers, pencils, wads of gum, milky-ways or other equipment, we give it to whoever can get it in the mad scramble of the vociferous under-classmen. We leave the following to Juniors individually: To Clar-e Chamberlain we leave that hidden emotion for young high school teachers found only ln Paul Hawkinson. This might help along the situation between him and his dear friend. To Leo C. Olson we leave all the rest of the high school girls that he may not feel lonesome while enduring the bore of another year of high school. To Floyd West we leave that slender figure that will be seen no more in the halls of Celoron. .To Era Scofield we bequeath all those courtesies that Autumn Boardman has been trymg so hard to live up to as an upper-classman.

THE PIONEER-Nineteen Thirly-one dear wife, Autumn, takes advantage of his high salaried position by trying out some of her brilliant schemes concerning eyelash and eyebrow cosmetics. Manley's prospects in the furniture company do not seem to be so good at present due to the fact that one of the Amidon daughters has at last ventured forth from the shelter of her parent's pro- tecting wing, and now the chances are that Autumn will have a chance to show the strength of her affections by dutifully supporting Manley in his old age. At least we hope so. And how is our Prince of Wales? Well, at least we can say Theodore is King of T. N. Nelson Chain Stores which specialize in groceries, hardware, and dainty frocks for women. Not only that but he is a specialist on beauty culture, particularly in the line of wavy hair and movie actress complexion. This business has the alarming power of drawing the attention of many of the beautiful and fastidious young flappers of the street. He looks after this end of his business in a very attentive manner. Years ago he was often seen in the company of Lucy Nelson but his masculine attractions lost their vigorous appeal, for she soon gave him the glove. A broken heart pursued him for years for that was the closest he has ever come to having serious matrimonial experiences, with the exception of his notorious case with that charming little brunette, another of the Amidon daughters. This was the case that almost caused him to Hunk his senior subjects. Sure enough Paul Hawkinson has turned out to be a minister, a preacher on morals, religion and the evils of love. I heard him speak once on these subjects and what passion that fellow displayed! Not only is he a dignified pastor but also the proud possesses of the girl of his dreams, a bonnie lassie from Cassadaga, but I have a suspicion that his thoughts often wander reluctantly back to his school affection. If he continues as he has begun, he will fulfill his earthly duties and be rewarded by an eternal aven of rest. All in all it would be hard to find a group of youthful students who have risen to- ward their ambition in such a clear cut, forward way and find as much pleasure in life as they do. MAX ALLEN Class of '51 E181

THE PIONEER-Nineteen Thirty-one To Manley Lown we bestow the inexplainable qualities heretofore possessed by Theo- dore Wistran, those of a heart-breaker. To Oliver Ellison we bequeath a secret recipe for tonic that produces growth to those who feel that they are too short of stature. This has been tried by Theodore and he finds that he can do without it in his business relations in years to come. To Vincent Mallare we bequeath that changeable that has been found to be hidden.in William Adams. This may enable him to fling himself clear of his high school worries when he plays on his historic violin before the Checkaue in the Russian capital. Elmer Camfield will have the pleasure of receiving a boost in football next season. Those invincible traits held by Max Allen must be left with some remaining character so that our coming football season will be a success. . Frederic Morris will be left that admirable accuracy of Paul Hawkinson .in bookkeep- ing class. These qualities will be free as Paul is not planning to keep books ln the future. Harold Marsh will be in great demand next year, we feel sure. For that reason we find pleasure in bestowing upon him that attractive permanent, formerly worn upon the intellectual head of Theodore WlStfal1, Roger Johnson appears more and more upon the stage, so we feel sure that he-will be grateful for the receipt of the last trait of Theodore who will have no need of it in the future--his perseverence. Helen Anderson, whom we must think of in succession to Roger, will be left the cosmetics that are second to none when used by Autumn Boardman. To Marjorie Paddock we leave all the surplus French books. There are plenty of those due to the fact that none of the Seniors take French. This will be sure to aid her in busi- ness when she has established it in Paris. Evelyn LeBaron will receive all the little things such as curiosities, miscellaneous items of conversation, and the demure manner that will be left by Florence Johnson. To Lillian Forsner we leave Autumn's personality that she may supply Kenneth Hed- strom all those kindnesses bestowed upon him by Autumn Boardman upon his return from California. ' To Marie Anderson we leave that speed at typing acquired by Marion Quist. This will help her to graduate next year. She might also use the facial expression that was lent Miss Warner by Marion upon receipt of some regretful notice. To Marion'Wistran we leave Florence Johnson's inexplainable methods of prepared- ness at class time. To Jeanette Amidon, Marion Quist bestows her unusual gait that she may arrive at school easily next year. To the Sophomores we leave a higher sense of duty and acknowledge their rise from the Freshman class. We hope that they make better Seniors tl1at we have been when they reach that stage in the game.? To Carl Brooks we leave the elusive qualities that helped Max Allen out of staying after school so many times this year. To the Freshman class we leave any amount of salt that they may not have to worry about being so fresh next year. To Marshall Spence we bequeath Max Allen's unusual skill at hurling any particular kind of missile that will cause destruction to person or property of any fellow schoolmate. We do hereby dispose of and bequeath to the students, faculty, school board and par- ents of Celoron, New York, a much larger and brilliant Senior Class for next year that we have even hoped to be. Our last desire, as the fading class of 1931, is to see them take up our tools as 'we lay .them down and wield them better than we have. We trust that when they slip into their seats next year, they will not forget the kindnesses and misde- meanors of their old pals of 1931. We hereby appoint Roger L-eRoy Lane the executor of this will and do not wish that any bond be required of the said executor. In testimony whereof, we, the class of 1931 have, to this, our last Will and Testament, contained on one roll of foolscap and consisting of the distribution of our properties, sub- sleribed and affixed our seals, this 23rd day of june, 1931, one thousand nine hundred and t irty-one.
