THE ODONTAN SENIOR WILL Ladies and Gentlemen, lloard of liducation, Superintenclents, Teachers, and Friends 2- Upon behalf of my client, the Class of l953, of Qdon High School, of the city of Odon, State of indiana, U. S. A., l have called you together upon this solemn and serious occasion, to listen to her last will and testament, and to receive from her dying hand the few gifts she has to bestow in her last moments. Cutting so rapidly loose from life, and finding so many things of such gigantic proportions to be attended to before the end should come upon her, realizing at the same time that she had no longer any time left to spend in cultivation of her own virtues, she did, collectively and individually, deem it best to distribute these virtues with her own bands to those friends to whose needs they seem best fitted. As a result of this announcement a wild scene took place amidst most frantic pleading and scrambling among her friends for this or that so long coveted gloryg but she has tried to be just, as well as generous and impartial, and distribute wisely unto those who will make the best use of such gifts as she has in her power to bestow, the talents that have served her so faithfully these four years, These are her decisions, as at last definitely arrived at through very deliberate consideration. Owing to the fiighty con- dition of her brain, and the unusual disturbance in its gray matter, she begs me to state for her that she may quite possibly have been mistaken in her inventory: but such things as she thinks she has, she hereby gives into your possession, praying that you will accept them as a sacred trust from one who has gone before. Listen, then, one and all, while I read the document, as duly drawn up and sworn to: Wfe, the Class of 1953, in forty-one and distinct parts, being about to pass out of this sphere of education, in full possession of a crammed mind,,do make and publish this, our last will and testament hereby revoking and making void all former wills or promises by us at any time heretofore made, or mayhap, carelessly spoken, one to the other, as the thoughtless wish of an idle hour. And first we do direct that our funeral services shall be conduct- ed by our friends and well-wishers, our superintendent and his all- wise and ever-competent faculty, who have been our guardians for so long, only asking, as the last injunction of the dying, that the fu- neral be carried on with all the dignity and pomp that our worth, our merit, our attainments, and our positions as Seniors of grave and reverend mien must certainly have deserved. As to such estate as it has pleased the Fates and our own strong hands and brains to win for us, we do dispose of the same as follows: Vive give and bequeath to the dear faculty, who have been our instructors in all the wisdom of the ages, a sweet and unbroken suc- cession of restful nights and peaceful dreams. No longer need they lie awake through the long watches of the night to worry over the uncertainty of whether this one is doing her night work, or that one will have her government in afternoon class, or the other one will remember every iron-clad rule of compositional technique in the preparation of her essay. lt has been a hard strain on them, for seniors are said to be at all times and under all conditions difficult to manage. But they have all done their duty, and verily, now shall they have their well-earned reward
