THE BLUFF CLASS WILL Know All Doctors and Nurses by These Presents: That we, the Class of 1927 Jennie Edmundson Memorial Hospital Training School for Nurses, Council Bluffs, Iowa, Pottawattaniie County, do hereby publish our last will and testament:- We wish by this to make void any will or promise formerly made by us. Upon leaving this world of knowledge, in which we have developed a chronic hyperability of the brain, we bestow upon our many friends and benefactors these few treasured gifts. Knowing their virtues we feel that we are most capable of placing them where they are most needed. We have endeavored to show no partiality in their distribu- tion. As a Class: To Miss Shively, our Superintendent, to the faculty and supervisors we do be- queath our sincerest affections, undying respect, much gratitude, and a great mort- gage on our life before us. Upon Mrs. Van Patton we bestow a carefully made invoice of Home properties, that she may the sooner detect the presence of any Hospital property in the Home Parlor, Bedroom or Bathg also a pair of roller skates that she may more readily re- store it to its proper place. We are leaving our fellow students with much sorrow in our hearts, but do pledge to them our deathless friendship, with pleasant memories of our past associa- tions in the years to come. We bequeath the keys to the kitchen to anyone able to secure them from the die- tition by fair means or foul 1We've tried both of no availj. In order that we may assure ourselves that the Bluff will be published annu- ally in years to come, we give its most ardent booster, Dr. Donald Macrae Jr. to the Intermediate Class. fPlease treat him with due kindness and respectl. Our coveted right to the new Nurse's Home goes to the Intermediates and our old rooms to the Juniors and coming probationers. In desperation for the support of the school's good conduct we will our class's good behavior and ability to stay in nights to such members of the Intermediate and Junior Classes as Miss Shively shall designate, suggesting Vera Grier, Muriel Stoker. Lucille Langworthy, Margaret Hartwell, and Gwendolyn Still. tThis limited number should be kept in at least two nights a weekj. For those who fail to profit by the preceding paragraph is left an unused copy of How to Enter Nurse's Home by Fire Escape and Basement Windows. Individually the class have some very useful qualities and possessions without which the life of the school would be very unpleasant and difficult, therefore- 1. Misses Elizabeth Allen and Geneva Hinton do willingly bequeath those rides to Lincoln to Felix and Hoff. This does not include staying at the Sorority House or dates with Fred. 2. Miss Gertrude Knight wills her secret Henna Rinse to Helen McLain plead- ing that Miss McLain let no one know where she obtained it. 3. Miss Harriet Adams bequeaths to Frances Williams the right to the name Billie , also the Kewpie Doll. 4. Miss Thelma Paschal bestows her dancing ability upon Ivadelle Gaver. If well trained it will mean a fortune. 5. Miss Iva Johnson gives her weekly dates to Miss Tollefson. Now Fern don'r neglect your duties keeping them. 6. Miss Florence Larsen leaves her Baby Talk to Beulah Gaskill that she may more easily keep Floor A quiet. 7. Miss Mary Culver bequeaths to Jennie Gibson her ability to eat Butter Brickle and read Whiz Bangs, as well as her vocal talent. 8. Miss Naomi Adamson wills her flowing tresses to Miss Wilkinson. 1Tl1e Sen- ior Class request her presence at graduation in full dressy. -2ll--
