I, Olida Soucy, do will to Marie Casey the few remaining drops of my ink which her sister Emily did not borrow. I, Louise Rouleau, do will and bequeath 1ny ability to make faces and get into trouble to my sister Margie, to keep the family name on the detention list. I, Florence Adjutant, do will and bequeath my frequent absences on days tests are assigned to Florence Bigelow. These absent days can be spent in preparing for the tests. I, Patricia Witham, do will and bequeath my ladylike nature and good behavior to Pearl Thurlow, which undoubtedly the teachers would appreciate very much. I, Jennie Ramsey, do will and bequeath my smile and dimples to Anne Sus- mann. You could apply both to good advantage, Anne.

I, Norma Willey, do will and bequeath my ability to complain to Betty Sus- mann so that these complaints will not be missed by the teachers.

I, Irene W'hitehouse, do will and bequeath to Margie Rouleau my ability to play basketball. May you have as good luck as I did. I, Philip Brown, do will and bequeath my faithfulness to one girl to Freddie Comfort. It doesn't pay to be a Romeo.
