24 CL SS WILL city of San Diego state of California CH9 s to our friends? do willingly declare this to be our last will and testament and wish to make known by this statement that we are acting un- der no direction or influence. We owe no debts, at least no one knows what debis we owe. We have put our all into our life at Roosevelt and that is why we haven't much to leave to our successors. We feel that we are going to Sr. High School Cwe hope? much more educated than when we first entered Roosevelt, but because of our overwought and nervous condition due to the strenuous overwork during Ir. High School, we are unable to make this known. We wish all the teachers to remember us, but as a special request Cora Lee Alexander leaves her fondest memories to Miss Colbert. To different lucky CPD people we leave the following: l. To anyone fortunate enough to have it Adrienne Wueste leaves that come hither Wink, which comes in mighty handy. 2. To another lucky person George Brown leaves his lisp. Excuse me then, it isn't a Lisp, anyway it makes those girls come a running. 3. Curly Top, commonly known as Bob Bourdett, leaves the obiect of his title to Earl McKellar. 4. Nancy Iulian leaves her so-called humor to most anyone Who'll take it. So in the words of the great writer Shakespeare, or was it Gloria Miller, we say Goodbye, Goodbye, parting is such Cl'm not so sure it's sweetl sorrow, but we shall meet again when you come to Sr. High.
