■ ©he JKUoltmet Last IPill and Testament We, the class of 1935 of Metropolis Community High School in the county of Massac and the State of Illinois, being blessed with reasonable intelligence and such a desire to aid lesser creatures do hereby create, ordain and sanction this, our last will and testament. To the class of ’36 we leave all of our dignity and sobriety, in order that they may become examples for all underclassmen. To the class of ’37 we leave the task of raising money for the outstanding event of the year, the Junior-Senior Reception. To the class of ’38 we leave our ability to later learn what High School life is all about. I, Golda Wallace, in sane and sober mind, will to Margaret Scott the power to arouse Mr. Schnee-man’s ire by giggling, a talent I posses in an enormous quantity. I, Vernon Steele, do hereby will and bequeath my rheumatism to anybody who wants it, but hope that no one takes it. ‘‘Wanna buy a duck?” I, Lloyd Lambert, will my duck to any freshman who has the ability to sell it before he graduates. I, Arnold DeJarnett, will my knowledge of current events to Lowell Thomas, in order that he will keep up to the minute. I, Barbar Frazee, will to the windiest guy in school, “Peck” Dunmire, my little bass horn hoping he has better success than I had. I, Francis Kidd, do hereby will and bequeath my hog-raising interest to Joe Simmons, since Joe has already learned the art of hog-calling. I, Elaine Golightly, will my curly locks to Ruth Swinford hoping they will be her crowning glory. I, Lloyd Scott, hereby leave my ability to argue in American History Class, to pass away the period, to none other than Milford “Barrel House” Dunmire. I, Jesse Carter, hereby will and bequeath my last fifteen cents to Pat Park so that he will quit bumming. I, Loren James, leave my ability to look wise and act accordingly to Robert Perganda. I, Clyde Hankins, of the City of Metropolis, State of Illinois, being of sound mind and memory do make, publish, and declare, this my last will and testament in manner and form as follows: I hereby leave my ability to get out of trouble to Pat Park. I, Alice Morrow, will my form to Wava Lambert providing she uses her feminine charms to bewitch John Bill Estes and show him something of night life. I, Otis “Sleepy” Waters being in sane if not sober mind do hereby will and bequeath my ability to sleep in any class with ease, to Kenneth Marberry. I, Hazel Flanagan, being sane and sober for once, will my ability to shadow Miss Steers and Miss Lawrence to anyone who will be able to keep up with tnem. I, Charles “Chad” Zettler do bequeath my belief and sincere hope that the M. C. H. S. football team will clean the slate this coming season. I, Irene Lowry, will to any one taking typing all my nervousness on speed test days. I, Maxine Collie, do hereby will and bequeath to nobody, absolutely nobody, my interest in Brookport. I, Velma Steele, will my magic dancing slippers to Madge Cummins providing she uses them as much as I have. I, D. C. Heath, will my set of boxing gloves to John Bill Estes, providing he learns to use them without being hurt. I, Edward Haynes, will my ability as star cook to Paul Waters, hoping he learns to boil water without scorching it. I, Helen Evers, bequeath to Helen Mae Dunn, my book “100 Different Ways to tell the Truth” with instructions to learn every one so that she may never be accused of fibbing. I, Escoe Mathis, do hereby will and bequeath my ability to play a cornet to none other than a member of our bank, Earl Mann. I, Elmo Karraker, will to Albert Dyer my privilege of holding sheep for judging on field trips. I, Gladys Benjamin, hereby will to Mattie Still, my so called, “mousie” disposition and actions, providing she will always be as quiet as I am—sometimes. I, Mary Anderson, being of a sober and almost sane mind, do will and bequeath to anyone wearing a 4% a good pair of brown goloshes that have rested in my locker all year. I, Sam Gurley, will to Clifford Faughn, my position as tackle on the football team, providing he will wear his hair as short as possible at all times, until he is a dignified senior. I, Mary Harper, leave to my dear “Alma Mater” my little brother “Toar,” hoping they have as much influence on him as has “Popeye.” I, Mary Alberta Hardy being partically sane and thoroughly sober leave nothing to anyone, because I have a very selfish disposition and desire to keep all I have. I, Blanche Schmidt, will my rush to get home after school to Ruby Hillebrand and hope that she will succeed. I, Buddy Flanagan, will my position as “jack of all trades” to J. H. Craig, so I may rest this summer. I, Edna Schmidt, do this day will my long rides to school through the country lanes to a freshman boy. I'aye IS (Continued on page forty-one)
