Last Will and Testament of Senior Class of ’26 We, the Senior Class of Tremont Community High School, in the State of Illinois, County of Tazewell, being sound of mind, do make this our last will and testament on the 23rd day of February, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred twenty-six. We give, devise and bequeath our property, real and personal, as follows; that is to say: To the Junior Class, we leave our new seats by the west windows, our ability to get along and agree as a class, our good History grades and our dignity. To the Sophomores, our ability to learn quotations as directed by Miss Skinner. To the Freshmen, we leave our Senior privilege, including our everlasting permit to talk in the Assembly, and a solution absolutely guaranteed to remove green. To the teaching staff as a whole: A Senior Class with at least more dignity than a two-year-old, and one whom they will all like. Individually we bequeath: To Mr. Johnson, the ability to turn out ideal teachers from his future pedagogy classes. To Mr. Wallace, a means whereby he may thoroughly convince his Physical Geography class that the movement of the ocean water is not all caused by the big fish. To Miss Skinner, we leave our deepest and heartiest thanks for her kindly advice at all times.

To Miss Nedderman, a Glee Club that will be present every Mon- day and Thursday. To Mr. Waldon, we leave an easy lounge for one corner of the fur- nace room. In order to show our love and esteem for the under-classmen, we bequeath the following articles to them as individuals: 1. To Harold Blue, a job with Ziegfield’s Follies. Don't misun- derstand me, not aesthetic dancing — a cornet soloist. 2. To Oliver Green, Nadena’s ability to master Caesar. 3. To Lillis Hinman, we leave Toots’ curls and dimples. 4. To Les Maurer, the ability to have a new story for each Man- ual Training class. Page Twenty
