FCI? 1934 May They Benefit By Qu Generoslty accidental explosion. Previously intending to bury forever the formula for obtaining ones in American history, we have since changed our minds. A private office shall be established with two of our most prominent colleagues in charge, which shall distribute for the nominal sum of live dollars per semester the needed information to any and all who feel them- selves obligated to pass in at least one subject. As a result of the acquiring of said knowledge, the recipient thereof shall be able to combat with speedy, thoughtful answers the steady fling of breath-taking questions forthcoming from the noble mouth of Mr. Freshwater. Aided by this marvelous system, the student shall never be compelled to appear in class with half-prepared lessons, or far worse, with copied notes so obnoxious in the eyes of said pedagogue. With aforesaid help the pupil shall be able to devote his entire study to that which is printed in the blank spaces between the lines and, adding an unlimited imagination, a brilliant recitation will result. To those fair maidens being left behind who have a distinct liking for the promenade, we leave the north corridor intact, brick for brick, none having been dislodged, at least to our knowledge, by the spike heels and hob-nailed boots of the peaches and pairs. To those who may at any time during the day find their studies monotonous, we will and bequeath the use of the marble swimming pool on the roof of the school building. For those who prefer fishing to swimming, cans of sardines, salmon, and great quantities of non-odor bearing dried herring have been placed at stated intervals in the pool. How to catch said members of the aquatic family with angle worms is a problem solved only by certain deeply thinking members of the Class of '34. With the highly unselfish consent of the four and one-half red heads of the Senior Class, we hereby will and bequeath the freckles now in the possession of said people to all juniors of the flaming tresses. We are certain this combination will be as becoming as powdered sugar to a doughnut. After all, what is a doughnut without powdered sugar? ,Tis like unto freckles without red hair. Since there is no one who can rightfully claim the Clay-like oratorical ability of our president, Jack Youmans, we propose to hang said ability in the lost and found case on first floor until same can be claimed on some future date. Lastly, and most regretfully, we oHer to the faculty of South High School any useful pieces of information that we may have given them in our outstanding recitations. These they may use at will to aid them in getting their ideas over more skillfully and clearly to the class when their own methods prove unsuccessful. In witness, whereof, we, the Class of 1934, do now close and seal this last will and testament on this last day of school of the year 1934. WITNESSES I Abe de Missinlink, eminent evolutionist. Hon. Alleyoop Popeye, professional strong man. Madame Wava Set, beauty horticulturist.
