enior KKCLJJ As a duly authorized attorney, of the regular bar of Franklin County, I have hereby, upon behalf of my client, the Class of 1940, of the School of Waynesboro, State of Pennsylvania, assembled you together on this solemn occasion to listen to the last will and testament of said Class, duly made out by me, legally signed and witnessed by said testator. I, the Class of 1940, having come to my last hours, and being in the full pos- session of my faculties, feel it incumbent upon me to say a few words to my heirs concerning the long years which we have passed together, more or less happily. My life has been long and full of vicissitudes, yet I have often thought that the life which is full of what are known as ups and downs is the most enjoyable, be- cause the contrasts between light and shadow, prosperity and adversity, make a varied existence which is attractive to every human being. I have seen some lives that rolled on with such perfect peacefulness and quiet, no startling upheavals, no changes of any kind, that it became wearisome just to behold them. I am arranging my worldly effects and consigning to my lawful and natural heirs all my wordly goods and chattels, with all the appurtenances and heredita- ments thereunto belonging, to each one the peculiar property seeming best Fitted to his or her needs. I further want it distinctly understood that if any one of the beneficiaries of this will shall attempt to dispute or in any way change the items of this document, he, or she, must be immediately cut off wholly and entirely from any and all of its provisions. Item I. To the class of i4I, I bequeath my dignity and honors Cwhich they can never hope to attain in so large a measure as I, the class of i405 and the success of having overcome their idiosyncrasies and shortcomings. Item ll. To the sophomores, who are soon to become the juniors, I bequeath and devise all my stupidity and facility for blundering at the simplest tasks, also all the beautiful ease with which I forget, set aside and banish forever the difficult ones. Item III. To my parents and friends, I offer my most humble thanks for the building and campus from which I am the first class to have completed my three years in the Senior High School. Item IY. To Mr. Shull I bequeath a pamphlet, Act of Applying Hrakes at Street Corners in Ten Master Lessons. Item Y. To Nr. Richter I extend the hope that some day he might acquire a little red Ere truck with which he can pass through those unnecessary things tstop lightsj umnolested in his attempts to get from school to school. Item VI. To our class advisors, Mr. liechtel and Miss Miller, my sincere thanks for their patience, forebearance, long-suffering, and self-saerihce during my school years. Item VI l. To Mr. Illain I bequeath a tube for his radio, in order that he may get VVJEI without so much effort. Item YIII. To Mr. Diffenbaucher: a boy editor for the Blue and Gold. QHis hearts desirej.
