Turn SENIOR YEAR Book - 1936 0112155 ill WE, the Class of Thirty-six, having ter- minated our course of three years in a becoming manner at this institution of learning, deem it indispensable and ap- propriate to compose, divulgate, and pro- claim this our last will and testament, ab- rogating and articulating ineffectual all wills formerly made by us. Our effects, those which the fates have bestowed upon us and those which our natural talents have acquired, we dispose of as follows: Item 1: To the Sophomores, we give the surplus in our treasury, so that they may have a Junior Prom. Item 2: To the Juniors, we do hereby convey our vast intelligence, serene propri- ety, and calm judgment, with the hope that they will- exert every effort in trying to make the teachers forget just how won- derful the Class of '36 was. Item 3: To our beloved Faculty we leave the everlasting remembrance of the many hours of content and happiness which they have spent in order to prepare us for the future. Item 4: To Mr. Mason, our respected and highly esteemed principal, we leave a list of suggestions regarding the accumu- lation of funds for the Commencement Senior, and hope it may prove beneficial to the coming Senior classes. Some of the members of the class be- queath cherished personal belongings as follows: I, Paul Misisco, do hereby bequeath a free tuition to any physical culture school in the East to the incoming president of the .Senior class, in order that he may at- tain sufficient muscular power to conduct an orderly class meeting. I, Ruth Nichols, the sweeping air of queenly sophistication which I possess to Caroline Crandall. . I, Elsa Schuster, my ability in Chem- lstry to Fred Rodgers of the Junior class.
