Therefore, we, the Senior class of ’29, on the eve of our departure, being of sound mind and memory, and realizing the bene- fits that those left behind will derive from our existence this last will and testament; that is to say, we give, devise and bequeath:— First to the Junior Class we leave our great dignity and superior example with which they may awe their under classmates. To the Sophmore and Freshmen classes we leave our good looks, ability to concentrate and a little encouragement. Joe Turkowski leaves his ability as an athlete to Paul Allen. Hilda Blanchard leaves her quiet voice and ways to Richard Decker. Carl Kratzer leaves his record of never having once skipped school to Allen Lavoie. Wilma Kelly leaves her poetic instincts to Philly Cooper. Kirby Vosburg leaves his love for Latin and Room 2 to Russel Furman. Blanche Hall leaves her surplus weight to Frances Weeks. 13

Howard Cook leaves his gift of gab to Kate Cassidy. Dick Sears leaves his derby hat to Hymie Glass. Felixa Dembowski leaves her two mile walk and ability to get to school vti time to Ruth Carroll. To Mr. Elden, we leave a faculty better trained on account of their associ- ation with us. We did our best to create ingenious teaching devices by show- ing them how little we really knew.

Margaret Kittell leaves her brilliant mind to Walter Bates. Wilson Van Wie leaves his fighting fooball face to Irish Carroll, to be used in the Solvay games.
