J it ' 2 URW bii7GlQllQi?Qfi'j C, e Lv -,.,..,.4 'T .1 Last Will and Testament of the Class of 1928 On behalf of my client, the Class of 1928 of Laredo High School of the City of Laredo, State of Texas, U. S. A., I have called you together upon this solemn occasion to hear her last will and testament. Listen, then, one and all, to this document that has been duly drawn up and sworn to: We, the Class of 1928, in possession of a crammed mind, extraordinary memory, and almost superhuman understanding, do make this, our last will and testament, thereby revoking all former wills and promises made by us from time to time. To such estate as it has pleased the Fates and our own strong hands and minds to secure for us, we do hereby dispose of the same as follows: To the worthy school board and to our beloved Superintendent, Mr. Christen, our sincere affection and heartiest good wishes. To the Juniors our exalted position in Laredo High School with the expectancy that each student of that brilliant class will make himself famous, will display his loyalty to old Laredo Hi with enthusiastic fervor, will make a great noise. To the Junior Class our nicknames of children and infants given to us by our all-knowing English instructor, Mrs. Floy Moore. To our beloved Faculty all the startling knowledge that we have furnished them from time to time in our examination papers to use as they see fit. To Mr. Madison we give and bequeath all of our various and sundry hat checks to use in business arithmetic classes as examples of business integrity and straight- forwardness. To Miss de la Garza we bequeath our time spent in the laboratory with Mr. Stapp in order that, in the future, she may use that time for conversational purposes and not make the poor man trot up and down the stairs with her between periods. To Victoria Palacios, Emma Vela bequeaths her brilliant eyes to catch as catch can. Hazen Sorrell, our famous scientist and distinguished thinker, bequeaths his ability to mix cocktails and ask foolish questions to Jack Younkin. To Oscar Hein we bequeath William Nell's fear of girls because the above named may prove too overpowering for the bashful lassies. To Elizabeth Kelly we bequeath Belia Leal's beauty secrets and hair dyeing ability because, as a blond, we think she would be preferred by gentlemen. We bequeath Madlyn Ward's various and sundry pieces of chewing gum that she has thrown out of the windows to all the future little Wards that will follow in her footsteps. We give and bequeath to the Pepsodent Tooth Paste Company Virginia Moon's sunny smile as a means of increasing their profits. Leon Fortassain leaves to George Crabb his guardianship of Barbara Biggio. To Ferol Perkins, Belia Leal bequeaths her figure in order that she may win a husband. I Willis Leyendecker bequeaths his ability to look wise in class to Richard Bryant, Esq. To Edward Biggio, William Mims leaves his fame as winner of the One Hundred and Eight Pound Bouncing Baby Contest. All the rest and residue of our property we leave to our much loved Principal, Mr. Wade, for his use and benefit to the exclusion of all others. We do hereby appoint our worthy advisors, Mrs. Floy Moore and Miss Alma Pierce as sole executors of this our will. In Witness Whereof, we, the Class of 1928, the Testators, have to this our will set our hands and seal this 25th day of May, 1928.
