'4 COLUMBIA HIGH SCHOOL THE MIRROR 4 Class Will c, the graduating class of 1944, having gone through the varied and all-important stages of (1) knocking ourselves out daily on the ever- opening doors in tin hack hall, l2) clutching out- sides while rocking in paroxysms of helpless laughter as bewildered “sophs” try frantically to get into the laundry, and (3) staggering around with a harried and hunted look for the period known as “getting ready for Senior Play,” are now about to leave, with many a sigh, our high school days. Therefore, we do hereby tender (with that slightly superior look which has become a habit in the last year) our Last W ill and Testament, as follows: Item I: I, Boh Seebcek, leave to red-headed Paul O’Hearn, the burdensome task of seeing that law and order reign in the girls’ lunchroom a position which I feel he. having had quite some practice, is well qualified to fill. Item II: I, Norman Merz, leave to any sincere football fan, my remarkable hat, on the condition that it he handled with care and treated like a member of the family. Item III: I. Jean Dolan, leave to Marilyn Perry, my constant good humour. M title of Miss Lake Mohawk must, 1 feel, remain in the wall-safe, where it has been kept while in my possession. Item IV: I. Sam Vitt, leave my “touch of the South' accent to Joe Harmon, along with the whis- pered assurance that it will do wonders with the women. Item V: I. John Woodruff, leave to the under- classmen, the memory of a truly remarkable head of hair. (I will also, with very little persuasion, throw in one black-and-white-striped pogo-stick.) Item VI: I, Joan Bottclli, leave to Marge Porter, the knack of having an answer to cvery- Puge Sixteen
