lass, Clczlill We, the sole sad survivors of the class of '46, having passed our allotted time and, in many cases, having been graciously granted more by the beneficent powers here in this world of G. L. S., and realizing reluctantly that the time has come for us to pass on, hereby do ordain and establish this, our last will and tes- tament. After the payment of a debt of one cent to Mrs. Fennessey for the ink used herein, we bequeath and devise all our remaining possessions as follows: To Miss Glennon and to Miss Schubarth, in memory of all the 3A classes that have ever suffered in Room 25, we leave a thermostat. To Miss Roper, in appreciation of her untiring efforts, and desiring to lighten her tasks, we bequeath an electric eye device, with a long metal arm to reach out, grasp, and set firmly in the opposite direction anyone Cexcept, of course, members of the facultyj going down the up stairway. To Miss Armstrong, we leave our compassion, and a class that will win the gym meet at least once during its four year course. To. Mr. Tierney, we devise a wad of cotton batting, in the firm belief that he knows the best way to use it. I To Miss Moreland, in recognition of her distress, we leave a book of geometry tests guaranteed to pass all seniors, or its purchase price refunded. And in the all too probable event that such a refund be necessary, we can request only that with the monye thereby gained Miss Moreland buy herself a big bouquet for trying so hard anyway. To Miss Harding, for her tireless work on the lunch counter committee, we leave one lettuce sandwich. To Miss O'Connor, we leave the post of Presidential adviser to which- ever of her inspired American history students first attains the highest office in the land. To Miss Greene and her assistant, Mrs Kelley, we bequeath a branch of the American Express Co., to take over the full time occupation of gathering and returning to the library all the books which should have been in before nine o'clock. To Miss McNamara, for her years of close confinement in Room 2, we leave a vacation trip to the wide open spaces. To Mr. Tobey, we leave a six foot square reproduction of page 92, in color, to hang in the front of the laboratory, thereby saving all the future chem- istry classes much time, trouble, and supposed stupidity. To Miss Watson, we leave an underpass from Room 11 to the office, so she won't be trampled every day at the beginning of lunchtime by hordes of hungry students. To Mr. Williams, we leave a tintype. To Miss Keating, we bequeath a pair of roller skates, that she may keep up with the athletic prowess of the sixth class. ' To Mr. Meserve, for the supply room, we leave boxes of Kleenex, to be doled out every time report cards are issued. l42l
