CLASS WILL 1932 We, the Class of 1932 of the Senior High School of Somerville, in the Common- wealth of Massachusetts, being of sound mind and memory but knowing the uncertainty of this life, do make this one last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills and testaments by us, if any time heretofore made. To the Class of 1933, we bequeath this magnificent building and the long-suffering faculty, with the hope that they won’t create any more havoc with both than we did. To future National Honor Society Presidents, we bequeath the power to get a special period set aside for meeting purposes. To future patronizers of our Cafeteria we leave all the bottles and other ware which we have found unbreakable. To Class Editors of the years to come we bequeath the sum of $000,000 for a few magic typewriters that will write a whole set of excellent notes, thereby giving the most honorable editors more time to figure out the why of this and the which of that. To those who have classes or study periods near the music room, ear mufflers to relieve the agony of listening to the—er—beautiful strains of melody which issue forth from the aforementioned music room. To those who weary from trudging the corridors from the East to West buildings, roller skates (which they must provide themselves) to relieve their sufferings; and to those who sigh heavily before attempting the long walk up the stairs from the lunch- room to the drawing-room (this article is especially for heavy eaters), the idea of in- stalling elevators to rob them of their sighs. To the orchestra, continued success at the annual concerts. To the budding chemists of this worthy institution, we bequeath laboratories with chemicals which we hope will not make the majority of the students pass out. To the Rip Van Winkles who find school a pleasanter place to sleep in than home, a rest-room bountifully supplied with cushion-covered lounges and deep, soft reclining- chairs. To these all-too-plentiful sleepyheads we also bequeath a system of velvet-toned bells which will not startle these honorable personages out of their honorable wits. And to show that the “deceased” have no hard feeling toward the lower classmen, we leave in their possession a motion picture film of the favorite guestures of the mem- bers of our distinguished faculty. In testimony whereof, we hereunto set our hand and seal and declare this to be our last will and testament in the presence of the undersigned witnesses this twentieth day of April, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and thirty-two. Signed by its executor, Evelyn E. Paton. Witnesses: Elsie Jacob, Lennart Swenson, Marguerite Herman, Florence Thebedo. Twenty-one
