The Senior Year Book — 1934 (Class Hlill AS executor of the Class of 19.34, the prerogative and lachrymose duty of making public this, its last wnl and testament, falls to me. We. the Class of 1934, about to depart from this terraqueous macrocosm and being possessed of all faculties of mind, memory and matter, do hereby formulate this, our last will and testament, declaring null and void all similar documents formerly promulgated by us. We, the Class of 1934, bequeath our qualities and treasured possessions as follows: Item I: We, the Senior Class, be- queath to our esteemed faculty wards in the newly founded Boom-Bridge Sanitarium, where they may recuperate after the trying hours spent in Algebra, English, History, Stenography, Typing, Chemistry, French, Italian, etc. May heaven protect them from a repetition of this year’s ordeal! Item II: We, the Senior girls, leave our secrets of charm to the girls of the Sophomore Class in order that they may “Keep Young and Beautiful. We also, however, refer them to the philosopher. Buskin, who said, “The most beautiful things are the most useless.” Item III: We leave Miss J. B. Stan- ton alone in her glory as the best dramatic instructress who ever drew breath. Item IV: To Mr. Stevens we be- queath our patented automatic bridge-bidder that he may continue in his overshadowing of such insignificants as Lenz and Culbertson. Item V: To Miss Hanson and Miss McWeeney we leave a permanent pass to the Central Theatre, provided it be used at the end of the week when the thrilling serials are shown. Item VI: Our personal attributes shall be apportioned as follows: 1. We, Rose Stillman and Carle Morrill, bequeath our mathematical skill to Robert Kessel in the hope that our combined proficiency will help him in his place of occupation. 2. We, Frances Johnson, Vivian Morrill, and Marion Sullivan, bequeath our scintillating brilliancy to Ilse Heider, Mary Donati, and Theresa Siciliano of the Sophomore Class. 3. I, Louis Cappuccio, bequeath my hereditary love for polemics to my younger brother, Joseph Cappuccio, in the Junior High School, realizing that no one but a Cappuccio is mentally equipped to fill my place with becoming dignity. 4. I, Ellsworth Peckham, bequeath my curly hair, lock by lock, to all my female admirers in the High School. 5. We, Tony Gradilone and Ethel Wills, bestow our athletic prowess upon next year’s football team in the hope of a better season than last year’s. 6. We, Ellen Crowther, Eileen Browning, and Peter Olcowick, bequeath our quietness to Roger Gould, trusting that it will dampen his boisterous behavior. 7. I, Patsy Perri, leave my private gumscraper to Elyot Menick, who is very amateurish in his performance of the recondite profession of gumscraping. I may add, the class has left a goodly supply of used gum in unsuspecting places for him to practice on. 8. I, Robert Goff, bequeath my Apollonian grace on the dance floor to my unworthy brother, Edgar Goff, in order that he may carry on the terpsichorean standards of the family. 9. I, Henry Clarke, bequeath my collection of tardy slips to Kurt Harries, who is reputed to possess a collection second only to my own. 10. We, Alex Kizeik and Alex Brown, bestow our running harness upon Bedford Byrom and Douglas MacCall, but we suggest they remove the braking device, which we had to install for “Safety-first” reasons. 11. We, William Price and Addison Archie, bestow our combined unruffled nonchalance upon William Lamb, who appears to be the very essence of embarrassment. —4f
