fi ffl, Y BLIUF - fi g W A The Class Will Ladies and Gentlemen: Upon behalf of the class of 1928, of Higginsville, Missouri, U. S. A., I shall read to you upon this solemn and serious occasion, her last will and testament, and distribute from her dying hand, the few gifts she has to bestow in her last moments. Owing to the flighty condition of her brain, she begs me to state that she may quite possibly have been mistaken in her inventory, but such things as she thinks she has, she hereby gives into your possession, praying that you will accept them as a sacred trust from one who has gone before. We, the class of 1928, being about to pass out of this sphere of educa- tion in full possession of a crammed mind, well-trained memory, and al- most super-human understanding, do make and publish this, our last will and testament, and such estate as it has pleased the Fates and our own strong hands and brain to Win for us, we do dispose of the same as follows: We give and bequeath to the dear faculty, who have been our instruc- tors in all the wisdom of the ages, a sweet and unbroken succession of restful nights and peaceful dreams. It has been a hard strain on them, for Seniors are said to be at all times and under all conditions difficult to man- age, but they have all done their duty, and verily now shall they have their well earned reward. To our class sponsors, Miss Myers and Mr. Neff, we gladly leave the profound admiration and ever-enduring friendship of the class of 1928. Into the hands of Prof. Davis we return the school and hope that he will keep it, and we make over to him now, in partial payment for all that he has done for us, a heavy mortgage on our future in the Great Unknown. Again, we give to our beloved faculty all the amazing knowledge and startling information that we have furnished them from time to time in our various examination papers. If the faculty see fit, they are hereby authorized to give out such of this information to the world as they may feel the world is ready to receive. This, of course, is left entirely to their personal discretion. To the Juniors we leave our biggest hats that their heads may rest in comfort. We likewise give to the Junior Class, as a student body, Frederick Albers' knowledge of economics, philosophy, art, science, and the universe in whole or in part. We trust the class may be able to survive it. To the Sophomore class, for whom We have such a fatherly affection, we leave the study hall with all its happy memories. A if
