Last W ill and Testament
We, the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Forty, believed to be in our right minds, do hereby declare this to be our last Will and Testament.
Article I. Sue Ramsey leaves to Joan Shoemaker her option on the seat by the window in Miss Hurrey’s room, with a clear view of Seventh Street and its fire engines, ambulances, and queer people, provided she has enough tact and finesse to pull the shade dbwn and keep up with the recitation at the same time. She hands her well-warmed radiator seat in English Class to any cold-blooded Southerner who wants warmth in winter.
Article II. To Nan Laing and Yvonne Derrey, Jean Barlow and Sue Ramsey both leave their ability to change the studious moods of any bookworms to one of agitation and disgust by their incomparable song and dance routine, which takes place during any too-silent morning study hall.
Article III. To Barbara Forcey and Peg Taylor, Nippy Elmes leaves her trick-of-the-year of falling asleep in class but getting “A’s” when needed. She says “pulling hair over one’s eye keeps out the light and makes one’s nap easier.”
Article IV. To the head of the A. A., Dickie Sumner leaves her undying efforts to change a stiff announcement in morning exercises to a chummy greeting.
Article V. Barbara Coleman leaves her notebook of gorgeous women to lighten the hours of some school depraved girl.
Article VI. Nancy Cooper leaves to Mary Beth Mooney her unrivaled superiority on the stage, her wide smile to Lavinia, and to Peggy Grubb the bell.
Article VII. Ginny Coerr leaves to Jo Thomas her Greta Garbo Hair-do. Article VIII. Patty Rentsler leaves to Lavinia Wicoff her wren-like trot,
hoping she can utilise it without the aid of her well-worn crutch.
Article IX. Sue Long, possessor of an incurable walk which closely resembles a Mexican Jumping Bean, bestows it on Yvonne, with the hope that she will not coincide with too many doorways, girls, or inkwells.
Article X. Aimee Lacombe leaves her emblem-covered sweat shirt to Patty Leonard, believing that space can be found for one or two more decorations.
