(IIn ' Blast Will ciitii ©estament of (Srahr (tmi ' lut ' , ’52 We, the members of Class ’52, being of sound and dispos¬ ing mind at the age of 12 years, do make and publish this, our Last Will and Testament, in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and fifty-two. To Ken Blatz, the most ardent admirer of the weaker sex, Jack leaves his desk, tastefully decorated to suit such fancies. To the sleepy-head of Class ’53, Barry bequeaths his sleep¬ ing quarters. To all interested, we leave the problem of determining what the beast in the cupboard may be. To the dumb in Chemistry, Elaine and Joy bequeath their positions as Mr. Bridge’s prime headache. To Bill Breakey, Gary regretfully leaves his Friday morning sojourn to the drugstore. To those who take delight in spilling ink, Ann leaves her desk, which seems especially made to encourage such pleas¬ ures. To Maxine and Walter, Annie leaves the task of doing the class homework. To Sangster, Marg. bequeaths the back seat. May he rest in peace. To the chemistry students of ’53, Lillian leaves a recom¬ mendation to the Selkirk Mental. To the “chilly gals” of Grade XI, Bruce gallantly leaves his sweater. To the “undeveloped talent” in Grade XI, Lawrence be¬ queaths his book of “101 Ways to Stump a Teacher.” To the Class of ’53, we whole-heartedly leave our gas masks to see them through Friday morning lab. To all those yet to tread these “hallowed halls,” we be¬ queath a high standard of sportsmanship, comradeship, and achievement, and a reputation for generosity, honesty, and kindness to which all may look with honour and pride. May you, the Class of ’53, now charged with the task of keeping high this torch, not fail in your purpose.
