CLASS WILL Upon behalf of my client, the class of 1927 of the A. D. Higgins School, of the city of Thompsonville, State of Connecticut, U. S. A., I have called you together upon this solemn and serious occasion to listen to her last will and testament and to re- ceive from her parting hand the few gifts she has to bestow. Owing to our successful career in the A. D. Higgins School we have ac- quired many possessions. Having pity for the coming class we leave some of these possessions in the fol- lowing manner: ITEM 1. We leave the empty seats in Rooms 6, 7, 8 and any gum or scrap paper that can be found in them to the Class of 1928. ITEM 2. We leave to the Class of 1928 the spirit and co-operation of the Class of 1927. ITEM 3. We give to the teachers who have been our instructors a sweet and unbroken succession of restful nights and peaceful dreams so that they no longer need lie awake and wonder if this or that person has his homework done.
