I M 'qilitiffa fit .75 3?s5ffff 252195 CD53 THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE CLASS OF 1927 We, the members of this senior class of i927 of Central High School of Erie, the only lake port in the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, being in a state of mental derange- ment, do hereby draw up this, our last will and testament. On the 25th of May anno domino 1927 and how. This glorious class, renowned throughout the universe of men, consisting of men, some women, and children fmostly children, to the half-witted undergraduates bequeath the following articles: l.-This magnificent, modern, towering structure Central High. 2.-All our trophies won honorably and uprighteously, 3.-Our well-beloved faculty who pushed us through four years of self-imposed anguish and mental agony. 4.-Miss Jo Anna Connell's mother-like guidance to the succeeding Junior Class. 5.-Our wonderfully equipped fresh water fountains. 6.-All our books, both good and bad, our smooth, polished, up-to-date desks or what have you. 7.-Miss Connell's precious copies of Lamb, Chaucer, Carlyle, and similar forms of torture bound in gilt gold to whomever she gets her hands on first. 8.-Our marveleous, machine-like monitor system to Polk institute. We being of unsound mind we did comprehend that if we did not sufficiently gripe the faculty, they would just as sufficiently gripe us, we did employ all our fiendish qualities to meet this noble end. Prominent among these fiendish actions rank the attitude of many of our sedate numbers inasmuch as they led one D, Pratt into long and involved discussions, avoiding the topic of the day. So in accordance with these above stated reasons the following members of this stately and learned body do protestingly bequeath to certain young andl irresponsible juniors, these ensuing properties, habits, deformities, vices and liabilities. Sumner Bliley devises unto Robert Lytle his Gloria Swanson nose, his rosy cheeks to Bertram Schaffner, his well-matched ears to any one who wants them and his drag with Miss Connell to Bob Dill.

Frances French's extra weight to Virginia Leetg Connie Bayster's red hair to anyone with a temper to match: Mickey Berst leaves her spectacles to anyone in dire need of optical attentions: Helen Clicks excessive altitude to Peg Moyer and her typewriting championships to anyone good enough.
