LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT
We, the class of nineteen hundred and forty-two, having been declared insane by far too many persons to mention herewith, but feel ing only too happy in our present state of mind, do hereby declare this to be our last will and testament.
Article I : Mary leaves to poor Edie Goddard a pair of quirksome lower joints which may or may not hold out for the rest of the year, but along with Audie she refuses to bestow upon any unfortunate soul those well- used crutches.
Article II: To Midge our petite Emy Del bequeaths that utter femi ninity and a few of those lovely soft sweaters—as though Midge needed any more.
Article III: Sparkie and Betsy leave the partially emptied pyroxide bottle to any would-be possessor of those fascinating golden tints along with intimate instructions for the very best results.
Article IV: To Edith Copp, Ginny passes on her captivating giggle.
Article V : Jacquie Carey is to become the proud possessor of Janie Brand’s pocketbook that is continually bursting its buttons because of an overload of lipsticks, letters, Kleenex, butts, etc., etc., etc. Please, Jacquie, take better care of it.
Article VI: With the faculty’s blessings, Fizzy leaves her non-conformity and obscure questions to anyone in the oncoming senior class who aspires to have the intelligence to contrive them.
Article VII: Shorty donates her marvelous and varied collection of records for the general enjoyment of the junior class.
Article VIII: The frequent letters from New Haven brought in at in teresting intervals during school Carol graciously leaves behind to be fought over by the juniors.
Article IX: Audie contributes to Anne’s already great scientific pre dilection. (W e’ll also leave that word to be learned next year.)
Article X : Dayrell relinquishes those timely announcements to Libbie— but then perhaps next year’s seniors will throw their paper scraps in the waste basket.
