GRADUATION NUMBER ' ast anb ' Slestamatt of ll|e Qllass of 1928 We, the class of 1928, of Stoneham High School, located at Stoneham, Mas- sachusetts, being in full and complete possession of our lives, do hereby de- clare, asseverate, and proclaim this doc- ument to be our last will and testament, and do dispose of our scholastic pos- sessions as follows: I Item — We give and bequeath unto our business home room teacher, Miss Ranney, our love and best wishes for her future success in teaching. We hope she can maintain the strict silence in the future that she has in the past and cultivate dignified Seniors from the present Juniors. II Item — To Mr. Thibodeau, the good- natured czar of Room 13, we wish the best of luck on his forthcoming voyage. We trust that he will continue to use his self-control and remain single, for we feel his undivided attention will be needed to govern the would-be Seniors of the next year. III Item — We bequeath to Mr. Sker- rye, our classical home room teacher, a broader sense of humor, which will be necessary if he is to control in the fol- lowing j’ear the present class of Juniors. This wish, if as difficult to perform as it seems, may be made easier by a glimpse of the present Junior Class. It is our wish and desire: 1. That Mr. Thibodeau be formally appointed guardian of the class statu- ary: namely, a rolmst pig. The aljove named person is to remain guardian of the said statuary until the nghtful heirs become of age on or after the fifth of September, in the year one thousand nine hundred and twenty-eight. He 1 may then transfer the property to the I would-be Seniors of 1929, if after j thorough examination he finds no trace of insanity and judges them to be far I enough from their former state of in- ! fancj’’ to safely guard the aforenamed ' property. : 2. That those who are lucky enough : to gain Room 12 as their final resting place, refrain from all unnecessary I noise or spit-l)all battles in honored ! remembrance of those who dwelt there : before them. j 3. Lastly, we desire that those who I inhabit the hayloft, better known as I Room 18, will kindly keep awaj’ from 1 the windows because many top heavy i tilings have fallen out. We hope also j that the would-be Seniors will pledge themselves to be loyal and quiet in the I presence of the new instructor and act 1 as dignified as their predecessors. I In Avitness Avhereof, we, the Class of j 1928, the testators of this our last Will and Testament, set our hand and seal on this fifteenth day of June, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and tAventy-eight. Signed, Class of 1928. Statistics of tl|c Class of 1928 Ii-.
