THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE CLASS OF 1925 Upon behalf of my client, the Class of 1925, of Baldwinsville High School of the Village of Baldwinsville, State of New York, U. S. A., I have called you together upon this solemn and serious occasion to hear her last will and testament and to receive from her dying hand the few gifts she has to bestow in her last moments. Cutting so rapidly loose from life, and finding so many things of such gigantic proportions to be at- tended to before the end should come upon her, realizing at the same time that she had no longer any time left to spend in cultivation of her own virtues, she did, collectively and individually, deem it best to dis- tribute these virtues with her own hands to those friends to whose needs seem best fitted. As a result of this announcement a wild scene took place amidst most frantic pleading and scrambling of her friends for this or that so long coveted glory; but she has tried to be just, as well as generous and impartial, and distribute wisely unto those who will make the best use of such gifts as he has to bestow, the talents that have served her so faithfully these four years. These are her decisions, as at last definitely arrived at through very deliberate consideration. Owing to a slightly swelled head, weakness of the knees, and flighty condition of her brain, she begs me to state for her that possibly she may have been mistaken in her inventory; but such things as she thinks she has, she hereby gives into your possession, praying that you will accept them as a sacred trust from one who has gone before. Listen, then, one and all, while I read the document, as duly drawn up and sworn to: We, the Class of 1925, in thirty-four individual and distinct parts, be- ing about to pass out of this sphere of education, in full possession of a crammed mind, well trained memory, and almost superhuman under- standing, do make and publish this, our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all former wills or promises by us at any time heretofore made, mayhap, carelessly, one to the other, as the thoughtless wish of an idle hour. 13
