A. D. Higgins Junior High School ffllasa Will Mr. Parkman, Mr. Davis, teachers and friends: On behalf of our client, the Class of 1936, of the A. D. Higgins Junior High School, of the Town of Thompsonville, State of Connecticut, U. S. A., we, the members of the law firm of Walizki and Eomano, have called you together upon this solemn and serious occasion, to listen to her last will and testament, and to receive from her dying hand the few gifts she has to bestow. On the very verge of death, with so many things of such gigantic proportions to be attended to before the end should come upon her, she, the Class of 1936, collectively and individually, deem it best to distribute these gifts with her own hands to those friends to whose needs they seem best fitted. The Class of 1936 has tried to be just as well as generous, and to give wisely unto those who will make the best use of such gifts. The Class of 1936 begs us to state that, owing to the flighty condition of her brain and the haste and confusion of her dying hours, she may quite pos- sibly have been mistaken in her inven- tory; but such things as she thinks she has, she hereby gives into your posses- sion, praying that you will accept them as a sacred trust from one who has gone before. Listen, then, one and all, while I read the document, as duly drawn up and sworn to: “We, the Class of 1936, of the Alvin D. Higgins Junior High School, being about to pass from this sphere of edu- cation, make and publish this, our last will and testament. “And first we do direct that our funeral services shall be conducted by our principal and his all-wise and ever- competent faculty, who have been our guardians for so long, only asking, as the last request of the dying, that the funeral be carried on with all the dignitv and pomp that our worth, our merit, our attainments, and cur position must cer- tainly have deserved. “We make the following bequests: 1. We leave to our superintendent, Mr. Parkman, our principal, Mr. Davis, and to all our teachers our deep grati- tude for all they have done for us. 2.

We feel that it will please her greatly to have a perma- nent record of our dental w ork done, tonsils removed, eye-glasses fitted, and gains made in weight and height. 7. We leave to our amiable janitors, Mr. August and Mr. Zawada, several large electric fans to keep them cool as they work during the summer. 8. To Edward Ziemian we leave a book of new jokes so that he may con- tinue to amuse next year’s classes. 9. To 7C we leave a five-foot shelf of detective stories. 10. The eighth grade leaves a good supply of headache pills to the seventh grade for use when they have homework. 11. Certain individuals of the Class of 1936 make the following bequests: 1. Dorothea Gates leaves her dra- matic ability to Eleanor Bok. 2. Roland Carmel leaves his ability to ask questions to his sister, Elaine Carmel. 3.
