CLASS WILL We, the Class of One Thousand, Nine Hun- dred and Forty-three, in the face of wars and rumors of wars refmtain in sound mind in spite of popular belief to the contrary. ln this satis- factory state we hereby mtake, publish, and de- clare this instrument to be our last will and testament, hereby revoking any and all wills and codicils heretofore 'made by us. To the up-and-coming youngsters of the Freshman Class we leave our charming man- ners and quiet ways, content in the knowledge that their using these qualities will insure the faculty .of three more years of delightful com- panionship after our departure from these hal- lowed walls. To satisfy the acute need of the Sophomore Cl-ass, we bequeath to them our vast am-ount of accutmulated knowledge. As we didnlt use it much, it can be found in its entirety-bulging from a paper-clip box-in the office safe. In order that the school might continue hap- pily but not too motnotonously when we no longer adorn the premises, we leave the fol- lowing personal talents, characteristics, and other gifts to those sitting in the seats once Qlast yearj filled by worthy juniors. NVe leave Doc Shanabrookis athletic ability and basketball-scoring record for Gordon Cer- hart to aim at. Killer-dill-er Harry Buck be- stows upon .lohnny Batdorf his handsome fea- tures. Wfho else has such a need? Tubby Rea wills his courtesy and his priceless pair of rub- ber trousers to the Highland twins. The three departing members of the quartet leave egotism and copies of ancient Negro spirituals to the succeeding quartet, which shall in turn keep them rolling. Harry Snow wanted to give his singing voice to Glenn Krill, but Krill has already declined the offer in view of something better, Mike Filepass's lithe physique. Otis Herb leaves his really smooth dancing fonn to Paul Ranck and Five-by-Five Malitzki. It is to be divided according to the need. Thomas P-eter's intelligence goes to -lohn Fedako, and his reputation as a student to none oth-er than Charlie Swartz. After years of fail- ure and bitter disappointment Joe Mihelc sadly hands over his Charles Atlas course and super- man pen to a fellow electrician, Elwood Rhoads, and wish-es him better luck. To Robert Vtfallish goes Chubby Briggl1tbill's ,gift of a pleasing personality. Tom Graham leaves his wit and a can of spoiled lcorn to somlething in the Junior Class called Hess. Ivan Hershey surrenders his musicianship to his accomplice in crime, jenny Ryman. We will give Mike Filepass's flashing smile to Tru-emlan Betts, if the wolf will use it at the right places. Johnny VVatson gives Louis Del-lart enough time clothes Cincluding those loud tiesj to last him for the duration. 'llo David Voigt goes Charles V-an Schoick's journalistic ability which hath well paid its way since eighth grade. Slug Beaver withholds his dramatic talent until a junior proves himself worthy of it. Anthony Mancuso leaves a double portion of his spirit to Ducky Eddinger. Ski Sajewski leav-es his knowledge of mental telepathy in the auditorium since he never could lind it. Billj Pugh distributes his pessimism to the en- tire Iunior Class. No one person can handle it. Louis Leopa1'd's efficiency in the commercial department goes to dainty Mehrmann. Good- natured Turp Allen gives his cheerful disposi- tion to McNelly. Lizanec fav-ors Ray Dietrich with his ambition, for Lizanec was ambitious. B.otinger's -art ability goes to LaVerne Musselman on condition that he stop tracing his masterpieces from F lash Comics. Last and least comes Utzel Dubnow. Finding no Junior who measures up to his own standards, Dub- ious Ardyn skips down to the eighth grade and presents his appreciation of Shakespeare to Red Yoder. As our illustrious class was endowed with so many blessing, it is impossible to have them all specified in this limited space. Xhle hereby nomi- nate, constitute, and appoint Chick Zook to be the executor of our will and hereby authorize and em-pow-er the same in his absolute discretion to assign our remaining 'talents to the remaining juniors, according to their just deserts. This thirty-first day of May, one thousand nine hundred and forty-three, we, the class of the same year, hereunto set -our hand and seal to this, our last will and testament.
