JUNE 1935 23 Helen Wood- Woody 17 Xvest Pine Street Commercial Course. Hel-en-woo'd LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE CLASS OF 1935 KNOW ALL MEN, by these presents that we, the Ill- ustrious Class of I935, being on the threshold of a great under- taking and about to leave the bonds CU of this exalted insti- tution, do hereby proclaim and publish what is known as our Last Will and Testament. FIRST: We, the omnipotent Class of I935 do, in the presence of the entire school, leave and ebqueath to our suc- cessors - the inferior class of I936, the following bequests: l. The clear old desk in the middle of the lst floor hall. May they make as good use of it as we have and never fail to dust it regularly. fThe insides of the drawers should be cleaned out-whether they need it or notll 2. Also we leave them with some compunctionsv -- the Oracle Room, which has a further value in that'the Class of 1935 has hallowed it by intimate contact with its walls! 3. Furthermore, we leave the unsuspecting victims the Pride and Joy of the school-the Senior Teddy. flf they can find itl. We have taken good care of it. At least we've tried to -- and please don't tear any more legs or arms off or we shall have to let our future M. D.-Robert Alpert-operate. And that wouldn't be so good. 4. To the girls of the class of '36,mwe leave Sis's power to get her man and hopexthatfgsomewhere along the way they find the power to keep them. 5. To the boys-we dedicate the ability of our own un- estimatable Robert Safford to express himself volubly in order to extricate himself from embarassing positions. CSO that the younger generation can appreciate that- it means- shoot the breeze .D 6. To the ever-trying followers of the cheer leading pro- fession, we leave the wind, pep, vim, vigor and vitality of the one and only cheerleader, that ever swayed a crowd as our own Bob has done, Robert Alpert. Keep on trying and maybe someday you'll achieve something. 7. To the forthcoming basketball and football squad, we leave the energy, the school-spirit and the inspira- ation that Jigger Thompson and Don Wemple have left behind them. W 8. And, last but certainly not least, we leave the lucky recepients the loan of the greatest school paper, The Oracle, for one year. During the year, they are not to tear down its stalwart and able principles which were made thus by aforesaid Class of I935. ' SECOND: After having left our rewards in the incompetent hands of the Class of '36, we bequeath the following responsi- bilities to the guardians of our Alma Mater: l. To Mr. Crandall, our principal, we leave the problem of making something out of nothing. But unmindful of that problem we leave him a few of the Class of to help him with his monstrous task. Z. To Miss Yerkes we leave the hope that in the future her 5th period Literary class won't consume quite so much gum and that there won't be quite so many gatherings ' inrthe back of the room tp discuss minor subjects. To her also we bequeath our undying devotion for the help and guidance she has given us throughout our Senior year, as Class Adviser. She has certainly given us a 4 ig ' ,lot to live up to and I hope we haven't disappointed . U, her. She has been our guiding star and I'm sure we all extend her the heartiest vote of thanks. 3. To Mr. Ferguson, Mrs. Brace, Mrs. Dabney, Mr. Vickery and all the other fourth year teachers, we leave the task of watering dying plants with education in hope of bringing out faint sputterings of talent, so long dormant, of the Class of '36. 4. To Mr. Miller, our capable athletic mentor, we leave the vigor and brawn of the Class of '36 which we hope will live up to the examples we have set them. THIRD: To the Alumni of G. H. S., we add another great body of reputable character--99 44fl00 pure-and educated. May we never disgrace you as Alumni, as we did when you were Seniors. FOURTH: To all lower classmen, we set forth, as a mark to work for, the enviable position which was brought on by our high intellectual and athletic attainfents: To them we throw this torch - Be theirs' to hold it high! FIFTH: We bid the Red and White, our beloved Alma Mater - au revoir - adieu -- and hope it will guard our very young successors well. For this purpose we bequeath to the faculty the key to the Library. Guard it well! Continued on Page 46 '
