Last Will and Testament We, the members of the Senior Class of ' 25, having at last attained the dignity (!) of Seniordom, and realizing the fact that we are about to leave this happy land and depart for worlds unknown, do hereby solemnly mention this, our last will and testament. To the incoming Seniors, we will Miss Nellie, hoping that they will carry out her in- structions about 8:55 better than we have. We also will them Miss Doub with her Burke ' s Conciliation which is so very concise and ' definite and her Senior Essay that should be so interesting. To all the Senior Classes to come we leave the old clock that hangs in the Senior Room. To the Juniors we will the responsibility of the Banquet and the Play (also Cicero and Geometry). To the Silly Sophs we can say only that we hope they will show a little more sense than most Sophomores do. To the incoming Freshmen we will four long hard years of High School Life. PERSONAL BEQUESTS Mary Miller Falkener wills her l+ ' s to Dortch Langston, and her switch to Bessie Barham. Margaret Lynch wills her long curls to Pauline -Thornton. Margaret Giddens wills her eyes that just won ' t do as they should and her winning ways to Claudia Irwin. Murray Borden wills his good looks to Fred Crowson. T. Griffin wills his bossy manner and general right o ' way to Gene Hines. He wills the privilege of ringing the gong to Robert Zealy. Lillian Stroud wills the piano to Sadie Lou Southerland. Helen Dortch wills her knowledge of Latin to Elizabeth Dewey. Robert Yelverton wills his wicked glance and sheikish ways to George Thompson. Ella Smith wills her loudness to Gertrude Stith. John Spicer wills his athletic ability and his cake-eatin ' -ess to Clarence Daniels. David Liles wills his height to Haywood Lynch. Emma Pate wills her athletic ability to Elizabeth Dewey. Lilly Lee wills her poetic ability to Eva Lee Derring. Preacher Borden wills his Napoleonic attitude and his Ormond-ized strut to George Hood. Beulah Petway wills her comb, and her dorine (which, by the way, are public prop- erty—for the girls, of course) to Bessie Barham, hoping that Bessie will ' bring it to school as faithfully as she has. Naomi Wilson and Carrie Hinson will all their Sen ior dignity and demure ways to Florence Johnson. Harvey Monk wills his ability to bull his teachers to Robert Isler. 1, Lillian Stroud, testator of the Senior Class of ' 25, do hereby declare this to be our Last Will and Testament.

T. : But John Spicer, what ' s become of him? H. : He has just opened an asylum, and Jack Langston, David Liles, George Romanus and Wilham Daniels are representing our class there. You heard about Lillian Stroud? She has taken Gilda Grey ' s place in the Follies. Mary Talton, Margaret Hinson, Naomi Wilson, Elizabeth Lassiter, and Flossie Cogdell are in Ziegf eld ' s chorus. T. : But Margaret Giddens? H. : Why, she and Emma Pate are practicing law in Reno, and they are great successes. They are now prosecuting attorneys for Carrie Hinson, Mildred Sasser, Blanche Brooks, and Lillian Gwaltney who were singing the Wreck of the Hesperus in a vaudeville when it was broken up by The Society for Preven- tion of Cruelty to Animals. T. : What has happened to Murray Borden? I haven ' t heard from him since he was arrested for bootlegging. 11.: He and Loren Derr were holding a revival the last I heard of them. T. : And Hyman Cohen? PL : Flyman is now a judge in the divorce court. He has already divorced 100 coui)les, among whom were Itchie Crow and Esther Newsome. T. : Paul! A ' hat has happened to him? II.: Oh, he and lUilah were married last year; and you should see them! Paul gets out only one night a week, and Beulah goes with him then. (Harvey rises to leave.) Well, Your Majesty, my boat leaves in an hour, so I must be going. (He goes to door, then turns.) Oh! by the way, John Fuller has been made Poet Laureate of Wayne County and has become famous for his sonnets to Julia Minor Wood. ( T. shows signs of distress. Harvey goes again, then comes back, and whispers confidentially.) 11.: How about lending me a fiver? (T. faints.) Arnold Bordkn, ' 25. Page Seventeen
