THE SENIOR YEAR BUOIK 25 VM f - V 'IGN morrocco bound volumes, to Bernie Stenhouse, whose meek manners conceal a true poetic soul. I, Gordon Michie, bequeath my love for young flowers, especially Buds to George Keller, who apparently has the same preference. I, Mary Brown, hereby relinquish all my claims to any rubies, chewing-gum, old chalk, and all other precious metals which might possibly be found in the wastebaskets, in favor of Mr. Maxwell. I, Frank Adimari, bequeath the static electricity pro- duced in my hair in Physics class to any Freshman who can use it, with the stipulation that it is not to be sold to the state of New York for use in the electric chair. I, Helen Himes, bequeath my housekeeping ability, as demonstrated on the stage during one assembly, to Everett Greene, who is a woman hater and a confirmed bachelor. I, Douglas Rae, bequeath my essay Ways and Means of Avoiding Boredom in Class to Livingstone who is taking his classes too seriously. I, Francis Arone, bequeath my knowledge of French as she is not spoke to John Sullivan who speaks it like a native Ca native of Thibetj. I, Edna Latondress, bequeath my boisterous laughter and unruly spirit in class to Spike Dolan who is too quiet to be real. I, Rupert Coleman, bequeath my filibustering ability to Miles Coulbourne with the hope that he may employ it to advantage on those dark days when he has burned the mid- night oil on the previous evening for other purposes than study. I, Charles Eldridge, bequeath the affirmative side of a debate on the subject, Resolved: That W. H. S. needs big- ger and better study periods, to Lenihan, said debate to be held with the first student who is foolish enough to disagree. The debate is to be held in the store room of the Physics Lab., debaters to be armed only with the cream puffs, Bowie knives, machine guns, and the various test tubes and dry cells which may be picked up in the course of the argument. I, Robert Bonner, bequeath my knowledge of topo- graphy, especially Vallies, to Betty Wells. I, Ruth Williams, bequeath my tremendous hands, with which I can stretch one and one-half octaves, to Albert Greene, who is thinking of learning to play the piano. I, Byron McCoy, bequeath my nonchalant, effortless manner of demonstrating the most abstruse geometrical proposition to Charles Lamb, the future star of Junior geom- etry. I, Ralph Briggs, bequeath the celebrated scowl which furrows my manly brow in algebra class to Joseph Rose. 1

THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK 27 fini! Y ' Llfsw I, Mary La Pere, bequeath my ability to arrive at school on time to Theresa Materese. In order to doubly assure her earli attendance I leave her in sole possession of my speedy truc . I, Robert Drysdale, 3rd, bequeath the various devices with which I have been wont to annoy the teachers, including one patent adjustable chalk flipper, one gross best elastic bands, fifty-three assorted wisecracks, and instructions for maintaining an innocent appearance, to Stahle, with the hope that he will employ them, better them, and above all, pass them on to future generations. I, Agnes McKellar, bequeath my fondness for BILL - ing and cooing to Dorothy Ryan. I, Jack Clancy, being sorry for having caused Miss Sturtevant so much trouble by writing at the top of the black-board, do hereby bequeath to said Miss Sturtevant the best stepladder which can be bought in order that she may have the laugh on Jack Wallace if he attempts to follow in my footsteps, said ladder to be paid for with the proceeds from the sale of my French compositions to any of the lead- ing French periodicals. I, Fred Dotolo, bequeath the red coat which I wore in the Senior Play to Durfee, to be cut up and used for bait for his favorite outdoor sport of hunting the wily bullfrog in the wilds of Alton's main street. I, Reginald Lamb, bequeath my booklet Il,legible Hand- writing Made Easy to Scibilia with the hope that he will soon be able to puzzle the teachers as well as I have for four years. I, Marjorie Peterson, bequeath the sweeping air of queenly dignity which I wear to accord with my cognomen of Sheba, to Ruth Saunders. We direct that the remainder of the fruits of our scho- lastic endeavor be collected by the faculty and disposed of, as models of academic skill and perfection, to the various High Schools of New England, for a sum sufficient to buy the School a steam roller of its very own, with which it may amuse the boys during recess, and also one best patented steel scraper for said steam roller for the purpose of re- moving gum in the corridors. We leave the problem of handling this combination roller and scraper, especially up and down the stairs, to the next Physics class, for a practi- cal demonstration of their ability in the mechanical field. We hereby appoint Miss Laura E. Mclntire, our beloved teacher and guardian spirit of the school library, sole execu- tor of this, our last will and testament. In witness whereof, we, the class of 1929, the testators, have to this, our last, final, only, ultimate, and conclusive
