. I 1 ' ll FUBTUIIS T0 SHHHE FAMOUS CLASS DEPARTS LEAVING WILL BEHIND Raytown, Mo., May 18, 1939. CSpecial to the Raytown nigh school janitorl. This community was impressed early this morning when the report spread through the high school section telling of the departure of the senior class from high school. Tlhe class had taken a prominent part in high school activities during the past term. It we be- loved by all the students, especially its own members. The faculty has .expressed B, deep regret that the class has gone from the high school realm. The Juniors seem to be holding up remarkably well under the shock. A When interviewed by a reporter for the Raytown News, Principal Warehime had this to say concerning the departed class, It was a class worthy of noteg but at times showed signs of have a stroke because of its over-estimation of its ability. The class sponsor, Mr. Oetting, said with tears in his eyes, I never had a class like it. The lclass meetings were beyond description. The class will be missed. A coroner's inquest indicated that the class had passed out from a peculiar disease. Dr. Eubank in commenting upon the malady said, Brain magnitudinous is a strange disease that educators have been able to do little about. It generally affects students in the fourth year of high school about graduation time. About the only known cure has been to administer strong doses of diplomas. In many cases the afflicted class members .recover and live happy normal lives forever after. Banker Smith who had transacted the class financial affairs during the four years the seniors were in high school has stated that the class left a will. A reading of the will has been called for May 19. As information comes by the grape-vine route we may safely say that on the date the Raytown News will publish the terms of the will., in which various institutions and individuals are prominently mentioned as those to receive rich legacies. A reporter for the paper announces that the will may convey the following information: After giving the usual heading stating that the class is in its right mindf some- thing that was never known to existl and that it was about to regretfully leave the high school, the class makes the following terms and clauses for the will: 1-We direct that all our just debts, if we have any, be first paid out of the treas- ury of the junior class. 2--We direct that a suitable class gift bepurchased and be presented to our alma mater, not because we loved our alma lessg but because she loved us more. 3-All of the athletic honors that ,have come to our class through the ability of seniors we leave to the freshmen. In making this bequest we are not unmindful of the juniors, but believe they can take care of themselves out of the training that We have given them, in advance. ' 4-All of our text-books we leave to the faculty members. During the summer months they may need to study them, since we never had any use for them anyway. 5-Our voices which we always used in whispers we leave to the sophomores, modest pupils that they are. 6-To the juniors we leave all of our good looks, all of our mental ability, all of our vanity, and all of our goodness Cgoodness knows with their reputation they will need them alll. 7-Our seats in assembly we leave to the incoming Freshmen. We do this well knowing that if we do not some lusty sophomore will attempt to sell tickets for seats in assembly to some inexperienced Freshman, who may not be as green as he looks. 8-We admonish the students of the high school to be model pupils even as we have been. If ft ' ' ' a er a period of ten years the executor of this will deems them worthy of the bequest we will give to each a stick of bubble gum. 4 The 'will is dated May 18, 1939, and is attested to by James Blank, chief of the auditor for the sheepskin or n' t' ' ' of rockdrillers. J. L. Robinson is named as executor. ga iza ion, and Henry Domuch, of the- Unwilling workers - 1939i
