THE ELCHANITE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT tEditor's Note:-When the time comes tor the graduates to bequeath a will, it gets so, that we leel like a bunch ot haughty benetactors. It feels strange that we are really giving up something inherent, something with which we could never have parted. The Spring is probably to blame, because this perennial obsession has a peculiar tendency to give one a morbid propensity to sloth and browsing. What can one do, however, when one graduates but once in a iiiemne, and has only one opportunity to present a bunch ot jolly pedants and teachers with nonsensica objects of attection?l We, the Class of tune, l935, leave our alma mater gladly, yet sadly. Four long and seemingly endless years, we have labored and toiled, played pranks and studied, and have secretly accumulated a vast fortune of Priceless Value. Thus, we being extremely kind, fully sound in mind and body, and it being a custom tor meshugaasl for a graduating class to draw up their last will: we do hereby make, ordain, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament. We bequeath, bestow, give, and devise unto our harassed faculty- To Mr. Leibowitz, we leave bigger and better chocolate bars. To Mr. Kronish, we leave hopes of his writing a new history book. To Mr. Astrachan, we leave his famous expression, so what. To Mr. Hartstein, we leave a new monetary system based on Yeshiva checks. To Dr. Charles, we leave our Yiddish words. To Mr. Matz, we leave hopes for a Ph.D. To Mr. Goldstein, we leave hopes for a trip to Gay Paree. To Mr. Abrams, we leave our personal belongings consisting of non-negoti- able, not excused admit slips. To Mr. Orleans, we leave an unabridged dictionary. Furthermore, I, Wolf Lifschitz, leave Mr. Kronish his famous short stories. I, Israel Gerber, leave some of my quibbles to Mr. Astrachan. I, Herzl Freed, leave Mr. I-Iartstein the position of Head of the Economics Department. I, Milton Shapiro, leave Mr. Kronish bigger and better stooges. I, Nathan Bernstein, leave Mr. Lebowitz all my scientific knowledge. I, Manuel Lipschitz, leave a movie house on the Yeshiva premises so that T. A. students won't have far to walk. I, Irving Ehrenthal, leave Mr. Astrachan my new theory on psychology. I, Frank Schonfeld, leave Mr. Kronish William Randolph Hearst. I, Benjamin Kreitman, leave Mr. Leibowitz his perennial smile. I, Harold Polikoff, leave Mr. Astrachan an amplifier through which he may tell students that he Can't hear a word. I, Iacob Abramowitz, leave some soft beds for Mr. Hartstein's Economics period. Sworn to and subscribed before me this 7th day of May, 1935. Benjamin Kreitman, Notary Public. My commission expires May 6. 1935. '21
