Purple and old gold their colors shine, Looks good to all, this class so fine — Hats off! Other classes before us fly, When the Seniors go passing by.

CHAOS LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE CLASS OF 1926 oooooo We, the worthy Seniors of the class of 1926 of Rensselaer High School, being still alive, but near the grave, do make this our last will and testament, to-wit : We distribute our wealth as follows: To our beloved successors, the class of 1927, we do give and bequeath : Item 1. Our dear teachers, one and all, except one — she’s already spoken for. Item 2. The publication of the Chaos, with all its attendant joys, namely : The editor’s “uneasy chair,” together with late hours, shattered nerves, and ruined disposition. The office and desk we’ve never had. The high school credit we do not receive. The various assistants of our art editor. We take this opportunity to commend and thank them for their valuable assistance. We bequeath to the Juniors the exclusive Senior privilege of breaking Mr. Clearwaters’s daily rule. We will Carmen Wood’s dimples and sparkling eyes to Rosalind Kruzan, sincerely hoping that this will improve her looks. We give Allen Parkinson’s alert attitude and racy Dodge, including horn, to Mr. Covert in case his Ford should ever wear out. We bequeath Marguerite Nees’s “permanent” wave to Adra Lee, on con- dition that she care for it as conscientiously as Marguerite did. We devise Sylvester Amsler’s Beau Brummel manner to Charles “Char- lie” “Chuck” Grow. We hope he doesn’t use it to extremes. We give Beatrice Burrell’s steadfast and dependable nature to Emalee Colton, hoping that she will profit by it in later years. We give, will, and bequeath all our mistakes to the Freshmen. We will Jimmy Ilifif’s breezy ways and snappy conversation to “Sister” Ihne. We know that this bequest will increase his popularity with the teachers. We bequeath Margaret Simons’s red hair and pep to Clififord “Skinny” Randle. We always did adore red-headed sheiks. We will, devise and bequeath Elizabeth Kresler’s ability to learn new dance steps to Gin Thompson, hoping that it will make her more popular with the boys. We will and devise Walter Ford’s dramatic ability to Clark Reed. A mem- bership in the “Masque and Wig” is included with this bequest. We bequeath Gladys Gallagher’s melodious laugh to Genene Scott, with the recommendation that she remove her gum while practicing it. We give Carlyn Courtwright’s seat in the assembly room to Ward Sands for the next six years. Now, Ward, you can’t quit school. 19 2 6 Pacre twenty-three
