Last Will and Testament of the Class of 1925. We, the Class of 1925 of Kent State High School, although realizing that the High School will probably never completely recover from losing us, do sorrowfully bequeath our place by the windows, our unparalleled athletic skill and our equally unparalleled egotism to the unworthy Class of 1926. I, Henrietta Beechy, do solemnly bequeath my roamin' nose to Duke Bentley and my maidenly horse-laugh to Blair Whyte, with the stipulation that he does not abuse it. I, Robert Bohecker, do solemnly bequeath my sleepiness to Gladys Apley, and my red tie to Stanley Clough. I, Martin Daltorio, do solemnly bequeath my extravagance to Paul Meeker, and my stand-in with Mr. Boulet to Antonio DeGregio, who needs it, and needs it badly. I, Joe DeLeone, do solemnly bequeath my complacency to Horace Ensinger and my way with the women to Clay Johnson, who may, or may not, need it sometime. I, Alice Elgin, do solemnly bequeath my length to Paul Apley, and my long tresscs to Alice Everett. I, Gladys Gibson, do solemnly bequeath' my line to Dermot Nolan and my col- lection of sheiks to Lena McGowan. l, Frederick Gombert, do solemnly bequeath some of my many injuries to Alex Ludick, who can probably stand a few. I shall take the rest with me so that I may have something to talk about in the future. I, Jean Gorham, do solemnly bequeath my artistic ability to Cranz Walter, and my many decorated text-books to Lucille Sturgill. I, Robert Hall, do solemnly bequeath my undivided attention to questions oi inquisitive Sophomores to Frank Dangler. I, Gilbert Griggy, do solemnly bequeath my Ucanaryn to Burton Stokes. I, Naomi Johnson, do solemnly bequeath my policy of being seen and not heard to Margaret Bourne. H I Morris Metzler, do solemnl bequeath my skin 'ou love to touch to Carmon i Y 5 DeLeone. I, Neva Skinner, do solemnly bequeath my love for the wee sma' hours to Evelyn Hughes, who is always in bed by 8:15. I, Vernon Thomas, do solemnly bequeath my unlimited energy to Leo DeLeone, and my blush to Eunice Smith. I, Robert Stopher, do solemnly bequeath my ability in getting out of classes on one pretext or another to Dan Stratton, and my next to the best seat in the assembly room to the junior who is lucky enough to get it. 39

Class Poem. Now here's to the class of twenty-five As busy as bees in Herbert's bee hive. We sometimes Work, and we sometimes play, But all is well if we have our way. We have a class of twenty strong, The boys in the majority. Though the girls have the heads And do the most work, They are in the minority. Now we come to the end of a perfect day, And we know the time's over for us to play. So with joy and sorrow intermingled as one, We thank Kent State High for the life we've 38 begun

I, Philomena Zappolo, do solemnly bequeath my way with the men and my excess of vivacity to Betty Root.
