SENIOR CLASS WILL KNOW ALL FRESHMEN, SOPHOMORES AND JUNIORS:— who, unlike the under- signed, are mere babes in arms, unlearned, ill-mannered and spoiled,- being so unsophisticated that you knoweth not even of the birds and bees, that we, the undersigned, conquerors of destiny, masters of the universe, the overthrowers of Darwinism and the bane of Prof. Cormany's existence,- having learned all the answers to the sixty-four dollar questions, such as Why Did I Kiss That Girl? and What Do They Do on a Rainy Night in Rio?”,- and being wise enough not to put bananas in the refrigerator, having almost human intelligence, and being free from flat feet, flat chests and flatulence. DO THEREBY EXECUTE, MAKE, DE- CLARE, AND PROCLAIM, both orally and in writing, the following to be our last will and testament, hereby revoking any and all former wills, or any papers that might be erroneously construed as a will, due to poor penmanship, mis- spelling, or written while an underclassman and therefore non compos mentisj and do further declare that same is executed without duress from any source, and without promise from the faculty that we will all graduate,- and do hereby request and direct that all the following provisions of this, our will, shall be carried out by our executor hereinafter named; and all of our worldly goods, whether real, personal or mixed, of which we die seized, or to which we may be entitled at the time of our decease, WE GIVE, DEVISE AND BEQUEATH as follows:— FIRST: Our will is that all our just and legal debts whether on the books or on the cuff be paid. To the Freshman Class we leave the right to hope some day to fall heir to the distinguished title of Seniors. To our sister class, the Sophomores, we leave our ability to publish a successful annual. To the Juniors we leave this advice, Come down from your high pedestal. Geneva Bailey leaves her typing ability to Caroline Core. Jr. Barcley and Katie Kester leave their lovers' quarrels to Ruth Dotson and Jack Carpenter. To Betty Wilson, Walter Timmons leaves his Pennsboro sweaters. To Wimpy Van Valey, Layrd Watson leaves his girlish legs. Norma Jean Westbrook wills her right to wear short skirts to Madeline Hall. Charlotte Golden leaves her right to skip school to Mary Jane Haverstraw (crime doesn't pay!). To the teachers, Jack Taberner leaves his right to drink coffee first period. Gerald Bills wills his genius in Mathematics to Max Snyder. Charles Garrett leaves his right to ride girls around in his car to Eddie Davis. Dotty Terrill leaves her hair to Joan Carpenter. To Betty Hooper, Margaret Sweeney wills her right to date ex-servicemen. Edith Harding leaves her slim waist line to Laveria Lamp. Betty Hammett leaves her shortness to Norma Jean Lemons.
