THE MIRROR 25 Class Will E, the Class of 1930, of the City of Waltham, County ww of Middlesex, and State of Massachusetts, being of ound mind, memory, and understanding, do make, pub- lish, and declare the following as for our last Will and Testament, that is to say: We hereby revoke all wills, codicils, or testamentary instruments by us at any time heretofore made. We give and bequeath to our beloved faculty a large, handsomely-framed portrait of Yale's most famous grad- uate, Rudy Vallee. iWe request that this picture be hung in Room 14. To the Class of 1931 we leave our class mascot, 'Jack Britt, trusting that they will cherish him as much as we did. We leave Mr. Hollis a class of nice, bright little III B boys, and to insure their proper behavior we will include a set of .absolutely indestructible laboratory desks. E-very chair will bevprovided with a strong chain, to which each pupil's book will be firmly attached. This, we hope, will effectively prevent these books from finding their way into obscure corners where frantic students may search for them in vain. To that powerful, heavily moustached gentleman from Room 5 we leave a pass to all wrestling matches to be held in Boston Garden during the coming year. This legacy is provi-sional upon his agreeing to desist from all jiujitsu exhibitions during the lunch hour. We hereby bequeath to the Household Arts Depart- ment a sum of money to be used for the purchase of ash trays. The gentlemen who have, in the past, paid little friendly visits to this department dislike having to throw their cigarette and cigar ashes on the floor.

26 THE MIRROR We bequeath Charles Carney ten gallons of ice cream in the hope that he will choke himself to death trying to swallow it in one gulp. Ellsworth Spaulding has so frequently expressed his desire to get away from the women that we leave him funds with which to organize an expedition to the South Pole. Colin Dale leaves his wing collar and spats to any of our younger generation who aspire to be big butter-and- egg men. We hear that Leonard Dubin-alias Lou Chaney, alias Leonardoff Boppofsky-intends to disguise himself as Scarface Al Capone and seek his fortune in Chicago. If this report turns out to be true, we direct our executors to send a large floral wreath for Boppofsky's funeral. It must never be said that the class of 1930 failed to recog- nize the budding genius of its own members. We hope that the future classes of Waltham High will study hardg that they will not crib German transla- tion booksg that they will refrain from' removing desk covers in Room 55 and that they will be careful to speak very clearly and distinctly while in Room 9. If they will do this, Philip Jackson agrees to use his influence with the faculty to obtain admission for them to all of the more select institutions of higher learning in the United States. We nominate and appoint the following as executors of this our last will and testament: George Perna, Samuel Milesky, and Charles Carney. To prevent this trio of in- ternationally known second-story workers from abscond- ing with the contents of the class treasury. we direct that they shall place bonds of one lead dime each. In Witness Whereof we have hereunto set our hand and seal in the City of Waltham this twentieth day of June in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and thirty. Class of 1930.
