20 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD gerous that it is to be hoped that in the future, by the use of these soles, you will be able to descend to the sidewalks with less peril of causing another earthquake. To the various members of the lower classes we, as individual Seniors, do be¬ queath the following items of inestimable value, and to their heirs and assignees, to have and to hold forever. Francis Draghi leaves tk) Henry O’Leary, a book by himself, entitled: “From Bed to Room Three in Five Min¬ utes.” “Scratchy,” if you will apply the lessons from this book, you will arrive in school exactly at 8.30 every morning, in¬ stead of the usual time, 8.36. Mary Longo bequeaths to Sarah Com- paine a fog horn. Sarah, hereafter you can walk around the school with vour nose in the book, in perfect ease without fear of being run into. Mary was knocked over so often, while trving to study on the way to class, that she finally hit upon this idea, which has proved a great suc¬ cess. and she wants you to have full ad¬ vantage of it. Natalie Klemas gives to Marie Midden her dramatic talent. Marie, if you use such talent as this to its full advantage, you may some day become famous as the great¬ est actress ever seen in the Follies. George Chesnalevich leaves to Marcus Lawson a copy of Virgil’s poems. “Red.” this wonderful book needs no outside oreo- aration. as it is very easily translated. It. has a reat advantage over the old fshioned Latin book, in that this one is printed in English. Josephine Frey gives to Helene Leary the cow-bell by which she kept track of her nencils during her high school career. Helene, from now on when you want your pencil, just stop and listen. If you think vou hear a cow in the next room, it »s probably your pencil in search of a new home August Midden bequeaths to John Pohorylo a box of one hundred “Pitts¬ burgh Stogies.” “Pullett,” we hope you will use these with as much regularity as “Speed” did. for we were able to set th clocks by the cloud of smoke seen comm un Church street hill at 8.40 every morn¬ ing. Arlene Hancock leaves to Edward Dugger sneaker . “Pat,” in future classes, although cannot be seen, you can easily be heard. Arlene has used this instrument during her days at the high school, and has found it a most desirable help. Frank O’Leary bequeaths to Edward Micha the mustache he used so success¬ fully in the Senior play. “Chaff,” the next time you find yourself in trouble, just hide behind this shrubbery and you will be completely out of sight. Anna Sweeney gives toLucille Knowles her musical ability. Lucille, the next time you go into classes with your lessons unprepared, make use of this ability. You have probably lizard the old saying, “Music hath charms even to the savage beast.” May Duggan leaves to Angelo Marconi a book of poems written by herself. Wuz- zie,” after this you will have something to keep your studious mind occupied dur¬ ing study periods, when your next day’s work is done, and you will also greatly help the study-hall teacher by keeping out of mischief. Peter Cerri bequeaths to William Crowley his knowledge of the grocery business. “Patsy,” when you succeed to the presidency of Keevers’ Grocery Store, you will find this knowledge of inestimable value, as Pete was alwavs a famous char¬ acter in the grocery business. Clara Mather leaves to the firm of Bar- borie and Horton, Incorporated, a set of hpr father’s old automobile tools, to be used in the repair of any more Fords they may buy. Joseph Lodola gives to Francis Dowd his abibtv as a bookkeeper. Francis, it is a bad habit to have to hunt for your books every day, so Joe wants you to take advantage of the ability by which he once kept track of a book for two full months. Amy Morrell bequeaths to William Karges a ball and chain. Sing Sing model. Bill. Amy could alwavs be found where her teachers told her to be, without the use of this implement, but it is a last resort, in vonr case, since we know of no other wav to hold you in one room for a whole period. I do nominate Mr Merle Hunt to b« the executor of this, my last will and testament.. Tn testimony whereof I have -of my hand and seal, and publish and deoroe this to be my last will and testa¬ ment in the presence of the witnesses named below, this twenty-second day of June in the vear of our Lord, one thousand n ; ne hundred and twenty-five. Spirit of the Class of 1925. Signed, sealed, declared and published by the said Spirit of the Class of 1925, as
