THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT of THE CLASS OF 1941 Having been rudely awakened in 221 study hall by one of the faculty, we rise feebly to our pedal extremeties and proclaim to the world at large this solemn and pur- poseless presentation of gifts, insults, and useless senior habits. First and foremost, we graciously give to those Jitterbug Juniors, the honor of being called “Seniors” and the right to continue to lead M. H. S. in a traditonally hilarious fashion. To those silly sophomores we very gladly give the right to struggle with the 1942 Medinian. To the ‘flirty’ freshmen we will the dawn of a little more respect and a great deal less shoving around the halls, although some of them have already taken these privileges in hand. And now for individual bequests: Bruce Clark leaves his sugar sweet compliments and scarlet jacket to Loren Kaden if used in conquest of out of town “gals.” Stella Holcomb bequeaths her love of dancing to Lawrence Kulp. Lovina Hunter wills her horror of excess calories to Don Todd. Howard Oberholtzer gives the privilege of getting to school in the middle of the first period to Jake Burris. George Promey bequeaths his soft quiet voice to Gloria Houston. Ann Rau gives her giggle to Mr. Claggett to be used for laughing at his own jokes. Bud Riegger, in order that band hats may no longer be lost at public danc es, gives one roll of pink ribbon to Mr. Thompson for mooring purposes. Kenneth Sherman wills his quiet ways to A1 King. Dick Smith bequeaths his jitter-bugging ability to Edward Buckley. Lillian Sperber grants the use of her graceful carriage and posture to future drum majorettes. Catherine Wolfe wills her gaudy jacket to color blind underclassmen. Max Amerman just plain gives away his shyness of women. Sidney Bowman wills his ability to get through high school, principally by work- ing for Jack, to Jim Long. (Continued on Page 20) Nineteen
