CLASS WILL, JANUARY, ’28 We. the proud members of that illustrious class of January 28, being of sound mind (since Mr. Haight has sworn off notebooks) and in the best of health, do herewith present our last will and testament as witnessed and signed on this the nineteenth day of January at the Granite City Community High School. Granite City. Illinois, witnessed and approved or disapproved. Sybil Austin. Harvest Queen. 1927. wishes to leave her crown to Eunice Wood, who we are sure will be crowned May Queen in 1928. We wanted to leave Edwin to someone, but on approaching the subject to Edna we were met lace to face with the fact that she wished very much to keep him herself.. Therefore, we have chosen to leave Edna Barney's sweet personality to Dorothy Spinks, so that Dorothy may have a chance at winning the next popularity contest. Marion Barney's persistence in final perfection in the art of man-chasing we do will and bequeath in all good faith to the girls we leave behind us who wish to catch a man. Miss Luther has also expressed a desire to possess Marion's flaming red dress, so she may have it with our compliments. Chester Cristy’s desire to become a second Eddie Lowry we give to Raymond Lovel. since Raymond has already given hint of great depths of unexplored theatrical ability in his makeup. Since Elma Meyer will soon be one of those lofty creatures called Seniors, we feel that she should be taught the rudiments of good behavior. What could be more helpful than Lorraine Devine's divine dignity? Mary Eugene Gaspard s superfluous underskirts we leave to Miss Gibson, since Mary Eugene has now discarded them permanently. She says that she only has one. anyway. Edward Hausafus. we arc told. »s extremely stubborn. We are sure that Mr. Haight could use a little more obstinacy, so we hereby give it to him. Ruth Lee’s very blonde mass of waving ringlets we give to Irene Gorbe to bring the price down on peroxide to normal once more. William Marshall wishes to dedicate his glasses to the Janitor and fervently hopes that said Janitor will toss them unceremoniously into the ash can. Glasses mar Harry’s good looks, you see. Russell Miller, after a long period of deep concentration, has decided that the only person with whom he can safely leave his Roberta is Mr. Krumsick. Martha Ruth succeeds every day in putting away a complete dinner in the third and another in the fourth. This ext:aordinary capacity for food we give to Joseph Kurre. All Robert Jamieson's fieckles with the exception of one to be left behind his right ear and used for the purpose of carrying chewing gum. we give to the girl of his dreams. Rosalie M. Halter. The ambi:ion. the courage, the determination, and the absolute fearlessness of hard work which have characterized Ruth Pickett’s three and one-half years of high school and enabled her. against overwhelming odds, to graduate with flying colors as valedictorian of our class, we leave to those boys who are still endeavoring to do their best at the Commonwealth School. Miss Jordan's desire to have everything just right, we leave to Kathryn Kennedy, who at present cares not just how perfect a thing is. but just so it is. What chance has a mere man against two women—but we certainly like Mr. DeGroff and we sinceiely hope that all future classes may be as well pleased with their gentleman dean as we are with ours.
