LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the Senior Class of 1920, of the Baldwinsville Academy of Bald- winsville, in the County of Onondaga and State of New York, being of sound mind and memory, do make, publish and declare this our last Will and Testament, in manner following, that is to say: First—We direct that all our just debts and funeral expenses be paid, if possible. Second—We direct that all our good examples, morals, intentions and so forth be distributed among the members cf the Baldwinsville Academy. Leo Blanding, who because of his charitable instincts intends soon to engage a gardner, wills his famous formula, which has enabled him to grad- uate in three years, to Earl Pester. Mary Louise Gardner, who has many controversies with those believing thirteen an unlucky number, since cur president’s heme is at stop 13. wills her ability to speed around the study hall as well as her ability to refrain from controlling her vocal organs, to Edna Colling. Herbert Quackenbush bequeathes to William Ciddings lrs 'nd’sseluble smile and winning ways which, as everyone knows, has won for him great favor in the eves of a certain underclassman at Cornell. Kathryn Wilson, who has been undecided as to what her life aim should be, has concluded that she will be more successful if she bequeathes to Kathryn Snyder, the man-hater of B. H. S., her data on the life of spinsters, for which Kathryn fervently hopes she will have no use. Adell Myers wills to Evelyn Smith her ability to concentrate on her studies while that alluring jazz record, which so easily entices Evelyn, is being played. Anna Thompson, who recently secured a copyright fer her series of books on etiquette, wills her great theatrical ability to Gordon Gayetty. Herman Vanderveer gives and bequeathes his great strength, which so many times has saved him from the perilous Mires, to the b:ys of B. H. S., that they may likewise escape the dangers of the other mires. Walter McCarthy, who during his B. H. S. career discovered many secret passages for notes, wills his popularity with all the girls and his ability to do fancy toe dancing, to Howard Loveless. Frederick Fuess, who always questioned his parents’ wisdom when they named him Frederick, upon discovering that Fred is also f:und in Winifred, in a moment of supreme happiness, rashly bequeaths his plans for the life of a great actor to Carlyle Jackson. Julie Coote, who, for certain reasons, has had great interest in phar- macy, wills her puffs and sweet-toned horn to the girls of B. H. S. James Sears, who intends to petition the trolley authorities to run a special midnieht car for him, so that he will not have to remain in Syra- cuse overnight after visiting on the Hill, leaves his height and gracious manners to Shirley Wormuth. In Witness Whereof, we have hereunto subscribed our name, the twenty- second day of June, in the year One Thousand Nine Hundred and Twenty. THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1920. ’ We, whose names are hereto subscribed, Do Certify that on the twenty- second day of June, Nineteen Hundred and Twenty The Senior Class of 1920, the testators, subscribed their names to this instrument in our pres- ence and in the presence of each of us, and at the same time, in our pres- ence and hearing, declared the same to be their last Will and Testament, and requested us, and each of us, to sign our names thereto as witnsses to the execution thereof, which we hereby do in the presence of the testators and of each other, on the said date, and write opposite our names our respective places of residence.
