Douglas Gardiner, bequeath my huge muscles, the result of stretching rubber bands, to Billy Laing, who is rapidly degenerating into a physical wreck from playing the strenuous game of ping pong. We, Skipper Gavitt and Bowen Briggs, will to all future inhabitants of Room 10 our own viscous secretions of gum with which we lured unsuspecting Diptera into the labyrinths of our inkwells. I, Alfred Sculco, bequeath to posterity my commentaries on asteroids, mastoids, and tabloids which are unrivaled for sheer genius of expression and originality. We hereby decree Miss Jane B. Stanton, our oracle on all affairs, who is directly responsible for elevating the drama at W. H. S. to its present high standard, sole executrix of this, our last will and testament. In witness whereof, we, the Class of 1935, do hereby swear that the above mentioned is our ultimate will and testament and to this end we set our hand and seal on this 17th day of June, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and thirty-five. —Joseph Walthers.
