LAST WILL AND TESTAME T 0 C ASS 0F 1955 Upon behalf of my client, the Class of '55 of Dale High School, City of Johnstown, State of Pennsylvaniag I have drawn up, on this solemn and serious occasion, her last will and testament, in which she gives you from her dying hand the few gifts she has to bestow in her last moments. She has tried to be just, as well as generous, and to give unto those who will make the best use of such gifts, 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 the flighty condition of her brain and the unusual disturbance of its gray matter. She begs me to state for her that she may quite possibly be mistaken in her inventoryg 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. we, the Class of 1955, in thirty-seven individual and distinct parts. being about to pass out of this sphere of education, in full possession of a crammed mind, well-trained memory and almost super-human understanding, 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, as the thoughtless wish of an idle hour. First. We direct that our funeral be carried on with all dignity and pomp that our worth, our merit, our attainments, our position as seniors of grave and reverend rnien must certainly be deserved. Second. We do hereby dispose of the things which our capable hands and brains have won for us as follows: Item. To our faculty we give and bequeath all the amazing knowledge and startling in- formation that we have furnished on our exam papers from time to time. This also includes the numerous ponies which carried us safely through the various tests. Item. To the Junior Class the title of Seniors, and hope that they will prove worthy of it. Also we appoint to them our hotneroom seats, with all chewing gum and other properties affixed, to be held during their Senior year. Item. To all--Any pencils, erasers, musical gifts, or paper that we may leave behind us in the excitement and haste of our exit. May they feel free to make use of them, hoping that in some mystic way these objects will impart to them some of our great knowledge. We leave our auditorium seats to whomsoever may grab them first. All the remaining residue of our property, whatsoever and wheresoever, of what nature, kind or quality not herein before mentioned, we leave to Miss Long and Miss Rager for disposal. In witness whereof we, the Class of '55, the testators, have to this our will, written on parchment paper, set our hands and seal this Twenty-Seventh day of May, 1955.
