Class ftgitll By Letha Comer E, THE class of ’13 of Granite City High School, Second ward, Natneoki Township, County of Madison, State of Illinois, United States of America, on this the twenty-eighth day of May, in the year of our Lord, nineteen-hundred and thirteen, being of sound mind and memory but mindful of the briefness of time with which you Juniors are to he blessed with the association of the perfect embodiment of brilliancy contained in the class of ’13, do hereby make, publish and declare this to be our last will and testament, revoking all former wills made by us. First, it is our just will that the class of T3 do reserve the sum of nineteen cents to be used for the purchase of a handsome wedding present for each of the present faculty, who will, in the future, become members of God’s greatest institution, the home. Grave fears may exist that this generous sum is here misapplied, but we Seniors who know the loving and attractive characteristics of our beloved faculty do know wherein we bestow. To our “Junior baby,” Claude McKean, we do give, devise and bequeath our “Senior baby,” Arthur lleimer’s cherished play things, including his doll, mummy and button-hook, given him by the girls of the Physical Geography class, hoping Claude will appreciate our baby’s toys next to Gladys Houck. We do hereby present to Miss Yenovieve Hazel Mariah Caton, forever and ever, amen. Tina McKean’s chewing gum, trusting that when Hazel retires a Senior she will have an ample sufficiency to supply her until the adoption of some other cud to chew that affords her the pleasure of her favorite brand, the “Gee-Whiz.” To Marguerite Voight we cheerfully tender the board used in the laboratory, by Mr. Atwood, to alsdish pilfering, for her special use in smoothing out the eight curls of Daisy Pick, to be used for a wig for Prof. Perry Houston Ililes. To Christie Baechtold we do bequeath Eddie Hommert's clod shoes, straw hat and hickory shirt for serviceable wear in the future, in a botanical garden and agricultural station in Xameoki. To Miss Mabel Eugenia Riggs we, with great confidence, will the hostile dominion of Old Mexico to be converted by her. to the Baptist faith, so that the citizens of that country may aspire and not cotispire to be president. To Grace Odum we hereby will, devise and bequeath, Bill Lewis, until death do them part, realizing that Grace’s romantic day dreams can best develop in such a setting of harmony as the ultra-sweet tempered aptitude of mind possessed by our dear Bill.
