22 THEPOSTER-1938 The History of The Senior Class Once upon a time there was a class of '38, VVhat a class! They offered an inspiration to all other classes. Quiet, you mugs who disagree! Vile were set upon the earth to show these other crazy humans the lightg so we started out by choosing: President ...... ....... N ed Kelley Vice President ............ Hill Montgomery Secretary and Treasurer ...... Rheon Price Class Advisor ................. Mr. Sanford and by choosing our attractive rings until another should take its place. VVith this set up , we went ahead and made great progress financially and socially. NVe had a llallowe'en dance, an Easter dance, a St. Patrick dance, and several social hours. Although Bill Sanford bluffed us along in his gruff way, saying that we were making a pretty bad stab at earning our way to NVashington, most of us worked willingly merely because we were working for the class of '38 Often our averages have disgraced us in the face of our under-classmen, but what do we care about brains as long we have the old gang? Come ou. kids , don't give up your egoism now just because no one pays any attention to your philosophy. Vile must have been destined for something besides a bunch of dopes . -Rheon Price Senior Class Will VVe, the Class of 1938, of the Painted Post High School, Village of Painted Post, Town of Erwin, County of Steuben, and State of New York, being of sound and disposing mind and meinory, do make and declare this to be our last VVill and Testament, in the manner followingg that is to say: I. We bequeath: A. We direct that all our just debts and expenses be paid after our funeral, June 27. II. We bequeath: A. To our teachers, our sincere appreciation for their efforts in trying to pound Calthough they did take it too literallyb something into our heads. B. To our faculty we also graciously return all the zeroes, all the sessions after school, all the Hunks which they have kindly given us, with the parting request that they be conferred as freely upon our successors. C. To Mr. Ilall, we bequeath a student body which takes the right attitude. D. To Mr. Clowc, We bequeath a grammar school full of pests. E. Also, to the faculty, we leave our sincere colnmiserations over the fact that they are losing the most brilliant class in the history of the school. III. We bequeath: A.
