THE TATLER 17 Edward Wolodko Edward lives out on a farm, Far away from Thompsonville noise. Here he will meet no harm, He’s more bashful than most boys. Ruth Woodward Oh Ruthie, why are you so small. You just don’t seem to grow at all; But scientists now have the dope. They’ve introduced a growing soap. Class Will Know all men by these presents that we, the graduates of the A. D. Higgins School, Town of Enfield, County of Hartford, State of Connect- icut, the Class of 1926 make their last will and testament. During our long life in the Higgins School we have accumulated treas- ures almost equal to those of Cap- tian Kidd. Now we are packing to go to foreign shores. We have discov- ered many valuable things in our wanderings here. In fact so many that we cannot take them all with us. We therefore have decided to dispose of them in the following manner. Item I. We leave to our teachers the best treasures; our gratitude and appreciation for the assistance they have given us for the year ending June 18, 1926. Item 2. We leave to the Class of 1927 the spirit of cooperation and loyalty of the Class of 1926. Item 3. We leave the empty seats and desks in rooms five, six, seven and eight and the auditorium to next year’s class. Item 4. We leave the Code of Mor- als and Miss Clancy’s tests to the future class. Item 5. We leave Sebastian An- gelica’s desk full of papers and pic- tures to supply the school wth scrap paper. Item 6. To Robert Squire’s heavy- weight opponent in next year’s class we leave his reducing powders, guar- anteed to reduce six pounds a week. Item 7. To Russell Pare we leave John Fuge’s new way to do arith- metic examples. Item 8. We leave to the baseball nine of 1927 our baseb.all suits. Item 9. To Steven Sygiel we leave Beatrice Block’s desk full of candy, which he has a liking for. Item 10. We leave Matthew Pier- og’s seat near the window to the next boy trapper. Item 11. We leave to the person who sits in Bertha Noricka’s the spring fever. Item 12. George Smith leaves his French book with pleasure and great happiness to Edward O’Connor. Item 13. The orchestra leaves to the players of 1927 their broken violin strings. Item 14. To Mrs. Stowe we leave $13.13 to buy some new pencils for class use. Item 15. Our best wishes we leave to our Superintendent, Mr. Handy and Miss Clancy who have always displayed great interest in our wel- fare. Item 16. We leave thanks to the Town of Enfield for our grammar school education. Finally we do hereby constitute and appoint our Principal, Miss Nora Clancy, sole executor of this our last will and testament. In witness whereof we, the Class of 1926, the testators, have to this, our will, set our hands and seal this eighteenth day of June, Anno Domini, one thousand nine hundred and twen- ty-six. Witnesses: Miss Clancy Mr. Handy Marion Hartley Signed: Boys’ Newspaper Classes Allan Handy Herbert Taylor.

During the past years we have enjoyed the slides so much that we thought it would be fitting to give this sum for the purchase of a few more slides. We hope that they will be appreciated as much by future classes as they were by the class of 1926. WHO’S WHO in 1920 Name Nickname Hobby Aloisa, Vincey Studious Studying Ambrosini, Mary .
