28 THE STONEHAM HIGH SCHOOL AUTHENTIC but to my dismay I discovered that there was no boy available. Having no other alternative, I de- cided to carry the golf bag myself. I had had a hard day at the office and was not surprised to dis- cover when I lifted the bag that it was quite heavy. I thought of the afternoon’s play before me with no little dismay; however, I decided if others could do it, I could, so I shouldered the bag, and groaning and straining I stumbled to the first tee. Reaching blindly behind me, I pulled out the larg- est club I could find — luckily I drew the correct club — teed-up, took a prodigious swing but because of my weakened condition, topped the ball. It bounced merrily along for a few yards until it reached the water trap, in it rolled, and in I went after it. After pulling myself out of the mud, I headed for the shore, my only consolation being in the fact that I was unobserved, hence I was dumb- founded when I was greeted by a loud laugh. I returned to the golf bag, but the cause of the laugh was not apparent. When I stooped to pick it up, however, it was shaking and rocking back and forth. I put my hand in the bag, very cautiously, to dis- cover the reason, and encountered something remi- niscent of a human ear. I drew my find up and looked into the chuckling, chortling face of Philip Riley. I was shocked beyond measure. Being anxious to discover the reason for his presence, I questioned him, and expected to be told a heart- rending story, but I was wrong. He told me that this week was his vacation and that he had taken up the ancient Scotch game to acquire a culture and background. I scoffed so hard he told me the truth. Philip was spending his vacation traveling over the country’s largest golf course in a golf bag. Joseph Barry. LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE CLASS OF 1935 We, the Class of 1935, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and thirty-five, of the Stone- ham High School, located at Stoneham, Massachu- setts, United States of America, Western Hemis- phere, being in full and complete possession of our faculties of mind and body, yet knowing the uncer- tainties of our lives, do hereby declare, asseverate, and proclaim this document to be our last will and testament, and do dispose of our scholastic posses- sions as follows: Item I — We, after long deliberation, have finally come to a decision as to the efficient means for Mr. Henry Reed to convey the undesirable student direct- ly from Room 11 to the office. This project will be placed under the supervision of Mrs. Gladys Milton, providing that she, for once, will take instructions from the Senior Class. ( 1 ) In regard to this chute : It will run at a forty- five degree angle with Room 11 directly to the office. We also wish to have this chute absolutely straight so that the naughty seniors-to-be, as they go sliding down the chute, will not bruise themselves on pro- truding corners, but will land upright in front of Mr. Watson’s desk. (2) When the above construction goes into op- eration, it will be necessary for Mr. Reed to wish his undesirable students a pleasant journey and a happy landing. Item II — We are sure that Mr. Thibodeau will be one of the first teachers to appreciate the mechani- cal ability of the class of nineteen thirty-five, as we have already drawn up the blue prints by which Mr. Thibodeau will have a stream-lined elevator where his present lunch-box locker stands. This elevator will gracefully glide down to the lunchroom three seconds after the first bell, preceding the final dismissal for lunch. In witness whereof we hereby set our hands and seal.
