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

'00 1 28 THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK I 'PGV will and testament set our hand and seal this twenty-fifth day of June, one thousand, nine hundred and twenty-nine. Requiescat in Pace Per Reginald Lamb, Attempter at Law., DEBUG Class Song fTune-Till We Meet Againl The sun of our schooldays is settingg All nature Whispers goodbyeg Four fairest of flowers On memory are ours For the years so quickly sped by. The sun of a new day is risingg Our untried ships will set sail Upon life's fitful sea And may We e'er be Strong to meet with a smile each fierce gale. CHORUS: Joy and gladness bid us all forget Parting sigh and Whisper of regret. Cloudless morn is soon to dawn When we're closer, nearer, drawn. To thee, tho far apart in sacred truth, We'll hold high thy teachings of our youth. Whate'er brings life or destiny, We'll be true to thee.
