THE MIRROR 15 We hereby deposit the entire sum in the treasury to the account of Waltham High, with the assurance and confidence that the accumulated interest will purchase a sorely-need- ed new school. , X Pk X X We promise the teachers in the tin garages that the best classrooms in the new school will be reserved for the.n as a reward for their trials in their metal coops. Miss Rand is henceforth promoted to the position of Dramatic Director in the above-mentioned school, with permission to stage her productions in the spacious assembly hall of said building. 1 1 x 1 91 X is 4- Pr A sunny, airy gym is likewise be- queathed to Miss Sewall and Mr. Leary. In addition to the most mod- ern apparatus and shower rooms, we present aforesaid persons with pre- served specimens of splinters gath- ered in the old gym floor. Pk P24 Dk if We leave Alice Cosgrove's desire for snake dances to any one display- ing similar preference, but warn the person interested to purchase apair of non-skid shoes. ' Dk PK P34 X The hero of the Class Play, The Show-Ojjf, bequeathes his monocle, cane, and innumerable special abili- ties to an unsuspecting victim. For Bub Storer's roadster-built- for-two we leave a safety railing to keep Betty from bouncing out. .-, .11 . , .o- .I. ,,. 1 K 1,- Avery Steele is hereby bequeathed permission to marry a tall, blonde miss.

Pk To the school in general we leave our fostered hopes for a new Wal- tham High School, a building that will be worthy of our wonderful works of art, our carefully selected library, and our teachers. A J. 1, , fp I. :Ex In witness thereof the spirits of previously graduated classes will sign, and seal this instrument as our last Will and Testament, on this twenty-first day of June, in the year of our Lord 1929. L-ei When the reading of the will ended, the class spirits arose from their seats, ascended the platform with their flickering lights, ,and af- fixed their signatures to the docu- ment of their newest member. In the church tower the bell clanged once. The witching hour had passed, and the lights and merry voices dis- appeared. The old school, now de- serted and still, gathered another memory to its dear old heart. RUTH SIROUM

14 THE MIRROR Miss Ober, who has voiced a pref- erence for the Scotch race, is hereby presented a Highland costume, in- cluding imported Scotch bagpipes, and a book of rare Scotch jokes, if such a book can be found. To Miss Cutting and her sewing classes we bequeath a supply of silk parachutes to insure their safety in their little cubby-hole classroom un- der the eves in case the roof should be wafted away by a playful breeze. if Pk Pk 31 For Miss Woodward we have or- dered a dainty steel Robot who will grant her slightest wish by merely whispering in his ear. Not only will he take dictation, typewrite, and cor- rect exams, but also serve as substi- tute teacher while she hurries about the school on various missions. if Pk 21 Pk Mr. Ward, whose forceful speech- es on the most popular American drink, milk-milady's fashions, and the danger in playing bridge have stirred his attentive English classes, will soon enlighten the world on the above-mentioned, for WLEX has re- ceived our order to install a ,micro- phone in Room 14. However, should Mr. Ward continue to wear his Ham- ing red tie to school, this legacy will be struck out by our administrators. 231 P21 all Pk Mr. Hodge's suppressed desire will soon be granted. To him we sympa- thetically leave a class of D pupils, with the hope that the monotony of writing A's and B's will cease to trouble him. This legacy will like- wise be struck from this document if Mr. Hodge should attempt to fright- en his classes next September, as he did our's last fall, by shaving off his moustache. No longer will Mr. Hollis have cause to complain about dish-washing that falls to his lot at school as well as at home. To this long-suffering gentleman we present a portable dish-washing and drying machine that will keep his laboratory utensils spotless. if P21 Pk Pk To Miss Burgess we leave a model studio equipped with a sufficient number of non-shimmying desks and non-skid paint jars, in addition to the promise of a peaceful future minus boys like Roger Wolcott- sweet little boys who will not ever think of bellowing Sonny Boy into the fortunately deaf ear of the plas- ter-cast baby. -I, J, J, xl, -.- -1- -1- fb A recent survey of.Miss Hall's Latin classes revealed the appalling fact that 92 2X3 per cent of her pu- pils were suffering from severe cases of Stretcfzeci-Nec!znfi5, a direct result of the Wfonder-zuh0'5 next disease. If Miss Hall, the indirect cause of this malady will discard her little white cards, we shall take special steps to procure an 'imported bronze sun-dial for her flower garden. . :k nk :fc 2: I A grandfather clock, guaranteed to keep irnPEPtFECT time, is be- queathed to Mr. Goodrich, who will some day experience the thrill, the excitement of being late to school. Because French is such a throat- tickling subject, we leave a life-long supply of cough-drops to Miss Clement, if, however, cough-drops should become hopelessly old-fash- ioned, the above endowment will be declared null and void, and a car- load of those famous coughless cig- arettes will be substituted.
