To Kathryn Pratt, we will and bequeath a pair of rubber-heeled shoes so that she will not cause so much attention when walking through the corridor.

Alvut we will and bequeath Peck’s old basketball shoes. To Leo Carroll we will and bequeath Thomas Nacy’s high marks so that he will no longer need to worry during the basketball season.

To Caroline Milligan, we leave a wireless telephone in order that she mav tune in whenever she wishes to talk to numerous friends. To Floyd Hunt, we give a jar of wrinkle remover to take away that puzzled frown. To John Haren, we leave Charles Northrup’s ability to draw, so that the school next year will not be without that source of amusement. To Miss Stewart, our class adviser, we give our many thanks for her ef- forts to help make our class a success. We appoint as executor of this, our last will and testament, Professor E. P. Barmore, feeling that he will conscientiously carry out each and every wish expressed in this document. In witness whereof, we do subscribe our name. SENIOR CLASS OF 1927. 10

(Elusu Kiistnnj OFFICERS President—Clayton Bennett Secretary—Thomas Ryan Vice-President—Iva I-oo Brown Treasurer-—Alice Haren The autumn of the year 1923 found this present graduating class enter- ing Schuylerville High School, especially proud to note that it was one of the largest Freshman classes that the school had ever had—quite a significant fact considering that only seventeen now remain in spite of the addition of several new members. During our Freshman and Sophomore years, we were instructed that the Senior is all powerful and that the rest of the school should and must work for his benefit. At the end of this period a great change took place in the school— we lost Mr. Long and Miss Clancy, gaining in their places Mr. Barmore and Miss Stewart. The loss of Miss Clancy was deeply regretted by everyone in the class. As Juniors we accomplished a great deal. Besides becoming much more dignified and more like the respected Seniors, we managed to earn enough money to buy our class rings. In the Prize Speaking Contest, too, the Juniors were outstanding—Iva Loo Brown, winning the girl’s first prize and Charles Northrup and Thomas Nacy receiving honorable mention. Following the custom of the school, we decorated the stage at the Broadway Theatre for Commencement and also the Casino for the Alumni dance. Our Senior year in the new building has been especially pleasant. With but twenty-five dollars in the treasury, we began our campaign for funds for a trip to Washington. A lyceum course was our first project—that it was successful was shown as much by the favorable comments made about each en- tertainment as by the three hundred dollars that we made. With a force of over one hundred students working for us we added to our funds by means of food sales, moving pictures, and two successful maga- zine drives. We greatly appreciated this cooperation and felt that it showed the true spirit of the school. At last Good Friday came when we could leave for Washington and a most delightful vacation. In conclusion, we take this last opportunity to thank you all for the hearty support given to our many money-making projects. We wish to say that we are proud of Schuylerville High School, of the new building, our Board of Education, faculty and student body, as well as of the success of the Bas- ketball team in gaining for this year the Adirondack League trophy.
