Page 26 THE HARRODIAN 1941 CLASS WILL We, the Class of 1941, in fifty-five individual and distinct parts, being about to pass out of this sphere of education, in full possession of a thoroughly crammed mind, well-trained memory, and most superhuman understanding, do make and publish this, our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all former wills or promises by us at any time heretofore made, or mayhap carelessly spoken, one to the other, as the thoughtless wish of an idle hour. As to such estate as it has pleased the Fates and our own strong hands and brains to win for us, we do dispose of the same as follows: Item: The Senior Class wills and bequeaths to the all-wise Junior Class the important question which concerns the Annual—“To Be Or Not To Be.” Item: To our good friends, the Sophomore Class, we leave our patience. It will be found useful as the only means by which they can endure the Juniors. Item: To the Freshmen we give the basement to be used as the official parking place for all kiddie cars, tricycles, and milk bottles. Item: To the young and unsophisticated Junior High we leave a map of the school building, so that they will not get lost and roam about in everybody’s way looking for classrooms. Item: We give and bequeath to our dear superintendent and faculty all the amazing knowledge and startling information that we have furnished them from time to time in our various examination papers. We know that much which we have imparted to them in this way must have been entirely new to them and has thrown new light on many a hitherto familiar line of thought. Item: We also leave to our faculty a sweet unbroken succession of restful nights and peaceful dreams. No longer need they lie awake through the long watches of the night to worry over the uncertainty of whether we are performing all our necessary study activities. Item: The following may seem but trifling bequests, but we hope they may be accepted, not as worthless things lavishly thrown away because we can no longer keep them, but as valuable assets to those who may receive them, and a continual reminder of the generosity of heart displayed in our free and full bestowal: 1st To “Squeeze” Squifflet, Lois Gordon’s quiet charm. 2nd To Alex VanArsdall, Billy Goddard’s ability to talk incessantly with the solemn admonition that he make a practical use of that talent. 3rd To Mr. Powell, the mathematical ability of our class, to be distributed according to his wise judgment. 4th To Johnny Woodard, Jack Frost’s calmness and power of concentration. 5th To Ralph Youmans and Richard Conover, “Scorp” Sullivan’s wit to be divided between them. 6th To William Wells, Everett Noel’s absentmindedness. 7th To Billy Ruth Pitchford, Mary Ann Stagg’s ability to be on time. 8th To Jane Brown, Jane Coyle's beauty secrets. 9th To the highest bidder, Martha Hansen’s southern drawl. 10th To Johnny Goldston, C. B. Yates’ strong silent type. 11th To Clyde Demaree, Billy Bob Edger’s recipe for a perfect diet.

Besides these bequests, we leave our best wishes to any and all who may desire them. Finally, we do hereby name and appoint as the sole executor of this, our last will and testament, our ever persevering superintendent with the admonition that he administer this estate to the best of his ability. In witness whereof, we, the class ol 1941, the testator, have set our hand and seal on this the thirtieth day of May, in the year 1941. FRANCES BOARD.
