WA Class Will E, the Class of Nineteen Hundred and 1 wenty-Five, of Winter Haven High School, town of Winter Haven, County of Polk, State of Florida, by reason of the incessant proddings of our intellect by th? unmerciful teachers for four years, are reduced to a state of feebleness. As a result, we are at times deprived of our proper reasoning powers. Thus, realizing that our end is near, and that those who have looked to us for guidance for four years will be thrown into a state of remorse and demoralization because of our sad and silent departure, we do make this, our last will and testament, hereby annulling all others by us heretofore made. First—It is our will that all our unjust and unpaid debts be given to the seniors of nineteen hundred and twenty-six, to be duly paid by them. Also to the seniors of nineteen hundred and twenty-six we leave our lofty position, our devotion to duty, and full permission to give the annual Valentine Fete, these gifts to be handed down in turn to their successors. To the sophomores, our sister class, we give our class colors, said colors being red and white; red, a symbol of loyalty to Winter Haven High School, and white for the purity of our ideals. These colors, and the ideals for which they stand, we have kept and cherished throughout our high school days. To the freshmen we hereby leave our class pep and spirit, on condition that the combination wins the first football game of the ensuing term. Second—I, Grace Cunningham, do bequeath my desk full of valuable notes, and also the ancient chewing gum in reservation underneath, to Marjorie Adams. Third—I, Robert Holmes, sole proprietor of the hot-air system of the Winter Haven High School, do hereby appoint as my successor, Samuel Jackson. Fourth—After due consideration, I, Sallie Cox, leave my title, “Baby of the Class,” to Julia Ellen Norton. Fifth—I, Ruth Richards, leave to Jack Igou my perfect conduct in history class and my unquestionable absences from school. Sixth—After careful observations of the various fashions that are displayed daily at school, I, Lila Thornhill, hereby leave my style to Joe Ellis. Sri’enth—My carefully composed physics notebook. I, Effie Decse, do leave to some unfortunate physics pupil, who must be as unselfish with it as I now am. Eighth—I, Lillian Gill, leave my tennis managership to Dulce McCoy, on condition that she take an active part in the tennis tournament of nineteen hundred and twenty-six; otherwise, this is bequeathed to Mildred Swearingen. Ninth—To some long-winded junior, I, Anna Katherine Cox, bequeath my position as cheer leader, and my ever prevalent giggle. Patje iiL-enty-fivi
